The titles for the individual discs of the box have leaked out, and they look reliable enough to be true. Also rumors of promotional shows in the fall... According to the rumors, the box has definitely been reduced to four CDs. They look like this: Disc One: The Early Years to Darkness Disc Two: The River period Disc Three: Born In The USA - Tunnel Of Love Disc Four: The 90's through to Tom Joad As it was the case with the Live box from 1986, it seems Bruce's early career is being overlooked a little bit with only one disc for the first six years of his recording career. But this could be more for technical reasons than anything else. It has earlier been reported that early tapes were in a very bad shape, and Bruce may have decided it wasn't worth the trouble putting them through the process of digitalizing them. This may also explain the sudden reduction of the number of CDs from six to four. While more and more details about the box itself are leaking out, things have also started to rumble when it comes to possible shows in support of the box. So far the strongest rumors evolve around promotional shows similar to those performed for Greatest Hits, the main purpose being to shoot some footage for various TV purposes. However, there are also rumors of actual benefit shows in US arenas, or perhaps even theaters, around Christmas. If any of these rumors are true, Bruce would most likely be backed by the E Street Band. Still, these are only rumors. The situation is very similar to that of three years ago when ticket brokers were collecting deposits for tickets to E Street Band shows that never happened, even though they were more or less regarded as a fact.
