Star-studded compilation also features videos

Bruce Springsteen has announced that he will release a live EP that includes several highlights and guest appearances from his ongoing 'Magic' tour.

'Magic Tour Highlights' is due out July 15 via digital retailers. It includes four tracks with accompanying videos including guest spots from Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello, Alejandro Escovedo and the E Street Band's late keyboardist Danny Federici in his final performance with the band.

All net profits from sales of the EP will go to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund, as artists, record labels and iTunes store have agreed to waive their fees.

The EP tracklisting is:

'Always A Friend' (with Alejandro Escovedo live in Houston, April 14, 2008)
'The Ghost of Tom Joad' (with Tom Morello live in Anaheim, April 7, 2008)
'Turn Turn Turn' (with Roger McGuinn live in Orlando, April 23, 2008)
'4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)' (Danny Federici's final performance
with the E Street Band live in Indianapolis, March 20, 2008)


Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are currently touring in Europe and will return to the US at the end of the month for another round of dates.
