As more and more people get a closer look at the Essential set, it becomes clear that this is unfortunately no exception from the rule that Springsteen's releases often have several errors in the artwork department. One caption confuses Garry Tallent and Danny Federici, Clarence Clemons is not credited on "Badlands", and "Trapped" is allegedly taken from The River Tour, but then how come both Patti Scialfa and Nils Lofgren are credited (and audible) on the track when they didn't join the band until the Born in the USA Tour three years later? Also, it says that "Code of Silence" was recorded live in 1999, but the song was not live premiered until 2000. Apart from that, the artwork is well done with many never-before seen pictures.
