This was my first concert of the Wrecking Ball Tour (link to some photos).
This DVD bootleg is recorded in HD quality and the average quality of the video is high.
Bruce Springsteen and The E-Street Band played the following songs during this night in Cologne.

Notes:
I only used HD-sourced video material to preserve the best possible image quality. However, the quality varies notable, e.g. from iPhone-videos to high quality cams or steadily filmed to shakily filmed.
Due to lack of videos, there are video gaps in the following songs: Death to My Hometown, Spirit in the Night, Jack of all Trades, The Rising and We Are Alive. These gaps were filled with pictures from the concert.
The second audio stream (zimmy21) has some quality escapes. These are:
No Surrender (first minute missing) and My City of Ruins (distortion for 1 minute in the middle of the song). Where appropriate I mixed totem13’s recording in.
You can find the recordings here:

In case you wonder why I didn’t “fill” the complete DVD9, this is also due to my stupid software when it comes to authoring. The preview window always tells a wrong final size compared to what comes out at the end. For example the preview tells me that the project will be 7,8 GB of size but then it’s only 6,5 GB. When I set the bitrate higher so the preview says the final project will be 9,3 GB (so it becomes about 8 GB in the end), the layer break won’t work and thus there’ll be burning errors. As far as I know, the latest version of my editing software has this fixed, but spending 400 Euros to solve this is a bit too much for me right now.
That being said:
Thank you VERY MUCH to all the tapers who generously shared their original video files with me! And also to the audio tapers of course!
Special thanks for their EXTRAORDINARY contribution to the project:
dvddubbingguy, tobi and lars aka papa b‰r (lots of videos, quite perfectly filmed, amazing quality!), *anonymous* (almost complete recording from the stands), dasbinichauch (lots of videos from the stands, very stable), devil59620 (many videos), fv45pfap (many videos, quite perfectly filmed), joe (help with collecting videos) and betterday for a great communication and motivation.
After all, this was real fun to edit and leads you to just one possible conclusion: Nothing comes close to Bruce Springsteen.
In case you plan to also film a bit during one of your future concerts, I highly recommend to buy a Sony Cybershot hx9v or subsequent models, and film with an EV-setting of -0,7 to -1,3. The best angles of this multicam video were recorded with a hx9v and (I’m not sure which one) hx10s or hx20s with EV set at 0 to -1,3.
The EV-setting avoids “ghost” faces and the cam has got an Exmor R-sensor that avoids annoying “lines” in the video when you are recording against bright lights. Also, it has got a great zoom with steady shot function – and can record in full HD. The sound is also remarkably good for a pocket cam. Moreover, you can also take quite good pics with it.
The latest Lumix from Panasonic might also be a great alternative, though I don’t have any experiences with it.
Bruce Springsteen in Prague
Partial recording of the concert Bruce and the E-Street Band held in Prague last July.
Bruce Springsteen play there for the second time after The Ghost Of Tom Joad Tour, but it was the first full band concert.
At this link you can find the entire setlist.
It is the same footage from Prague I uploaded earlier today as a part of the “Wrecking Ball Tour 2012 – Prague and Vienna Snippets” DVD, but here are the original HD files (m2ts files, 1280×720 pixels rerolution). I hope some people will find it usefull, maybe someone might use it for a multi-cam project. I would be more than happy if it helps.
It is about 34 min. footage of snippets (no complete songs), filmed with Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 from very close – 4th-5th row, centre of the stage. The quality is very good IMO, but mainly for those who attended the show or compile a multi-cam project.

Did I mention It’s My Birthday? Bruce’s Birthday Show.
This bootleg is a remaster version of the Bakerstuff recording and contain the concert of September the 22nd 2012 at Metlife Stadium.
The show started very late – almost three hours later than scheduled – because of a storm, so it ended on September the 23rd.
During these latest two years I saw (maybe it is better to say “we” saw) Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band eight times.
We started on May the 27th 2012 in Koln and we closed our tour in Paris on June the 29th 2013.
In this post (to be updated) you can find all my concerts.
What about you? How many concerts did you attend?
Second part of the Wrecking Ball Tour Compilation 2012. These six CDs contain the songs played in Europe.
I’m still looking for the artworks for the bootleg.
