The release schedule was announced during an interview with Brad Serling, who works for the concert recording archive site nugs.net, on SiriusXM's E Street Radio channel. Serling said the Friday release contains music from Springsteen shows in Rochester (45 minutes in mono) and Albany (roughly two hours, also in mono) made by Chas Gerber, who did a stint as Springsteen's sound engineer in the 1970s. No soundboard recording of Springsteen in 1977 is currently in circulation, according to Backstreets.
