Classic Hits

Bruce Springsteen has pushed back the release date for his upcoming box set, Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition, dedicated to his 1982 solo album.

Originally scheduled for Oct. 17, Springsteen revealed on Instagram that the set will now come out one week later, on Oct. 24, “due to delays in production.”

Nebraska ‘82: Expanded Edition will feature previously unreleased material, including the long-rumored “Electric Nebraska.” There are also solo outtakes, including additional songs from Springsteen’s original Nebraska home recordings that didn’t make the album, as well as recordings from a 1982 solo studio session.

The set also features a 2025 remaster of the album and a present-day recording of Springsteen performing Nebraska in its entirety at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theatre, with the performance also included on Blu-ray.

Nebraska ‘82: Expanded Edition will be released in four-LP plus Blu-ray and four-CD plus Blu-ray configurations. It is available for preorder now.

The new release date means the set will come out on the same day as the movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which focuses on the making of Nebraska. It stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his manager, Jon Landau.

On This Day, Oct. 8, 1980…

Talking Heads released their fourth studio album, Remain in Light, which wound up being their final album with producer Brian Eno.

The record, which blended African funk with electronics, peaked at #19 on the Billboard 200 chart, their highest charting album at the time.

Remain in Light contained the future Talking Heads classic “Once in a Lifetime.” Although the song didn’t initially land on the Billboard Hot 100, a live version from the soundtrack to their iconic 1984 concert movie, Stop Making Sense, proved to be more popular, and landed on the Hot 100.

Artwork by the late Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia is being highlighted in a new dice game.

Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey, a collaboration between Jerry Garcia’s family and game designers Twogether Studios, is being described as “an easy to learn dice game for people of all ages.”

Fun for up to eight players, the game has folks taking a journey through Jerry’s art, collecting “Bummer” tokens on the way. After there are no more tokens to collect, the participants begin their journey home, with the first one to get rid of all their “Bummers” declared the winner.

“We’re excited to partner with an independent company full of creative and imaginative individuals,” says the rocker’s daughter Trixie Garcia. “It’s been a true grassroots effort, and we’ve enjoyed seeing it grow into something that will bring people together.”

“My dad’s legacy lives on through moments of joy, laughter, and connection,” she adds. “Like music, games foster community, and Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey is a whimsical way for fans to keep that spirit alive wherever the road may lead. Let’s get together and play!”

Jerry Garcia’s Cosmic Journey is available for preorder now.

Bruce Springsteen is looking back at a classic show in his home state of New Jersey.

The rocker just released a recording of his July 6, 1981, concert, which is significant because it was part of his first-ever stand at the then-new Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The concert, part of Springsteen’s The River tour, was one of six shows The Boss played to open the venue. They were also Springsteen’s first-ever arena shows in the Garden State; prior to Brendan Byrne’s opening, New Jersey didn’t have an arena to play in.

The 27-song set opens with “Thunder Road” and features such tunes as “Prove It All Night,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “The River,” “Badlands,” “Jungleland” and “Born to Run,” along with covers of Jimmy Cliff’s “Trapped,” Woody Guthrie‘s “This Land Is Your Land” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Who’ll Stop the Rain.”

The show is now available to stream or purchase at nugs.net.

Stevie Nicks has shared a cryptic tease on Instagram, and some think it could mean a new Barbie is on the way.

“I’m so excited to announce something very special coming in two weeks,” she wrote. “stay tuned for more details!”

The post was accompanied by a photo of what appears to be a pair of doll’s legs wearing white heels, covered by leg warmers. It also looks like the doll is wearing a white flowing dress.

“Bella Donna barbie is coming!” one fan wrote in the comments, a reference to her 1981 solo debut. Another guessed, “White winged dove Barbie omggg,” referencing a lyric in her tune “Edge of Seventeen.”

Mattel launched its first Stevie Nicks Barbie doll back in October 2023, with Stevie showing it off onstage at a concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The original had her wearing a black outfit inspired by the one Stevie wore on the cover of Rumours.

The doll quickly sold out and then got a limited rerelease in July 2024.

The real-life Stevie is currently on a solo tour and is set to play Phoenix on Tuesday. A complete list of dates can be found at StevieNicksOfficial.com.

An original white label 7-inch test pressing of Queen’s 1975 classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” sold for close to $12,000 during the annual White Label Auction to benefit the Brit Trust.

White label test pressings are made so artists, managers and labels can listen to the audio ahead of a single’s release. Usually only a few are produced.

This year marked the fifth annual White Label Auction, and prior to this year’s lot the auctions have raised over $215,000 for the music industry charity, which was established in 1989 to “improve lives through the power of music and the creative arts.”

This year’s auction also included white label pressings from The Beach Boys, Dire Straits, Genesis and Eric Clapton.

“Bohemian Rhapsody,” written by Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, was featured on their album A Night at the Opera. It hit #1 in the U.K. and was Queen’s first chart-topper. The song was rereleased in 1991 following Mercury’s death and returned to the #1 spot.

Queen is set to revisit A Night at the Opera with a set of vinyl reissues dropping Oct. 17. In addition, on Oct. 31 “Bohemian Rhapsody” will be released on transparent blue heavyweight 12-inch vinyl, as a 12-inch picture disc and as a blue cassette single.

Foreigner frontman Kelly Hansen will play his final show with the band on Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey. And it sounds like he’s not totally sure what he’ll do next.

“I’m trying not to use the word retirement. I don’t even know what that means,” he tells People. “I’m not looking for future work. I’m so fortunate to be able to make that choice.”

He adds, “Although I love what I do, I’ve been in this business nearly 50 years, and I put in my time.”

When it comes to his final show, Kelly says, “I want it to be joyous and I want it to be memorable and I want it to be fun.”

“I’ve been telling the audience that I’m taking mental snapshots because this year is different than the 20 years prior, because the 20 years prior were the blur of being in the thick of it,” he says. “Now I’m poking my head out of the forest, and I’m seeing the pasture ahead, and I’m not just fighting the trees every day. I’m seeing the sun, the pasture in front of me.”

And while Kelly’s life will certainly change once he comes off the road, he tells People he’s “not troubled by living a smaller life.”

“I mean, I’ve lived, my whole life has been loud music and bright lights and a lot of s***, and I spent a lot of my time trying to avoid f****** landmines, and I don’t want to have to do that,” he says. “I just want to live my life with my friends and my family and just dig it.”

Foreigner guitarist Luis Maldonado will take over frontman duties when Hansen leaves. A complete list of Foreigner dates can be found at Foreigneronline.com.
