Wow, that's really a bummer, the reviews for the show were great. Kind of weird to think that the best shows of the tour may not be available, right? Hopefully this is just a fluke.
Only thing that comes to mind is a DVD/Bluray from the show being released instead. Plenty of cameras all over the stadium, in the stands, in both pits, crane/boom camera too.
Bruce had a couple cockups in Lucky Town and Roulette, and he was hungover, but that should be the last thing to influence the release of what is meant to be a 'raw' sounding audio copy of the show

Ramrod follows Born to Run, and Rockin' All Over the World has some nice fireworks going off in the background. To close with a solo I WISH I WERE BLIND and Thunder Road. Overall 19 songs not played the night before, that makes 46 different songs over the weekend. Lucky Hunter Valley people.

Listen to the official recording of Perth1, this show has an interesting setlist, 3 songs of High Hopes as opening. Frankie Fell in Love should be more rehearsed.
Like High Hopes more and more live.
The E Street shuffle and Kittys' back, in a row is great.
The River between Death to my Hometown and Heavens Wall is not my choice. Although Heavens Wall is a good live song.
And in 1 show Working, Darlington, WOSD, Hungry Heart is way to much.
The show is saved by For You
And American skin and the Ghost of...., in 1 show makes my day.
The sound of the recording is good. But you can not hear 4 electricguitars. I guess most of the time Nils, Steve and Tom are in the bar.

Bruce Springsteen will release four unreleased songs on a 12" vinyl EP entitled American Beauty for Record Store Day on April 26th. Three of the tracks - "American Beauty," "Mary Mary" and "Hey Blue Eyes" - were recorded during the High Hopes sessions with producer Ron Aniello, but ultimately discarded. The origin of the other song, "Hurry Up Sundown," is unknown.

It's unclear if the material on American Beauty will ultimately be offered to fans in any non-vinyl format. None of the songs on the EP have been heard before, but Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello — who is featured prominently on High Hopes and is on tour with Springsteen — plans on covering "Hey Blue Eyes" for an upcoming project.
A DVD, Blu-ray and digital download of the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year concert, a multi-artist charity tribute concert to Bruce Springsteen set for release both physically and digitally on March 25th, is also in the works. The show, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8th, 2013, featured Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Sting, John Legend, Mumford & Sons, Patti Smith and others playing Springsteen classics. It wrapped up with a brief set by Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are in the middle of a month-long Australian tour. They kick off an American tour April 8th at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, just two days before the E Street Band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
