Bruce Springsteen has released the E Street Band’s January 19 show in Chicago as a free download.
The move came after Winter Storm Jonas forced the postponement of the band’s Sunday night concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Springsteen broke the news on social media, announcing that the Chicago show, the previous date on the current River tour, would be made available as a free MP3 download.
