Nassau Coliseum, New York 1980 is a live album by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, released in March 2015, and was the fourth official release through the Bruce Springsteen Archives.[1] The show was originally recorded live at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, on December 31, 1980.
On July 5, 2019, a remixed and upgraded version of the recording was released, concurrent with the release of the concert at the same venue two nights prior.
Background
The concert, performed on New Year's Eve 1980 and New Year's Day 1981, is known for clocking in at almost four hours of music with 38 songs. The recording marks the first live release from the River Tour. Several selections from the show were released on various compilations over the years; "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" previously appeared on the 1986 Live/1975–85 box set, and the recording of "Merry Christmas Baby" was included on the 1987 compilation album A Very Special Christmas. Additionally, the non-album track "Rendezvous" was later released on the outtake set Tracks in 1998.
