Bruce Springsteen is currently on tour in Australia. Today's music is from a live recording of him performing "For You" just a few days ago in Perth. But this is not an illegal bootleg.

Unlike Prince, who sues to stop fans from sharing their live recordings, Springsteen is now selling downloads of his shows for $9.99 apiece.

So far, only concerts from the current tour are available, but Springsteen's manager says archival recordings will be available in the future.
