The SDE includes over 70 previously unreleased tracks featuring never-before-heard mixes, alternate takes, newly mixed live tracks and candid recordings of the band rehearsing in 1977 and 1978.

The 5-disc set, timed to the release of the feature film Deliver Me From Nowhere, includes The E Street Band’s fabled “Electric Nebraska” sessions and solo outtakes from the era.

The 2025 release is a captivating and deeply personal exploration of the Great American Songbook.
