On July 15 Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band‘s ‘Magic Tour Highlights’ via all digital download stores, including the iTunes Store. The release will consist of four audio tracks with four accompanying videos, all recorded live in concert during the ‘Magic’ tour.

Danny has accompanied Bruce Springsteen since 1969, in the bands Child and Steel Mill. He’s worn his hair long, sported a beard and adopted a lean trim look during The Rising Tour. Quiet by nature, his playing speaks volumes and contains multitudes: He brings more to a Springsteen concert than he’s ever been given credit for. In Danny’s case greatness is understood, measured in the sublime flicker of his organ-playing hands. Always remembered, greatly missed. From: http://www.Foryoubruce.com
