Bruce

Solid is the perfect word to describe last night’s opening show at Giants Stadium. The setlist, though with few surprises, was filled with awesome energy and a few very cool requests. “Janey Don’t You Lose Heart” was one of those special requests for a lady in the crowd named Jane (oddly enough).
Early in […]

Here is one of my favorite cover songs that Bruce performs. This is a song called “Jersey Girl” that was written by a very talented songwriter named Tom Waits. I am very glad that Bruce does not overplay this song as he usually saves it for special occasions. So enjoy this one […]

Obviously, we are very close to the upcoming American leg kick-off at Giants Stadium on Sunday.  So, it has come to my attention that sometime within the next week and a half, Bruce and company will make a final decision on whether or not to go ahead with the proposed week (or so) of touring.  […]

If you go on iTunes right now and search “Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band”, you will find a brand new release consisting of four terrific recordings entitled “Magic Tour Highlights.” These are four live songs taken from various performances over the course of the 2008 tour.
1. “Always A Friend” (performed with Alejandro […]

Over the past couple of weeks, my sources have confirmed that Bruce and the band are CONSIDERING playing a few more dates beyond the Harley Davidson Festival. These shows will (if they happen) most likely take place in Philadelphia and New Jersey (Newark). There was originally some speculation of shows at Madison Square […]

This is a pretty cool soundcheck of “Rendezvous” from Springsteen’s 2003 stand at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY. You can see how Bruce pretty much arranges a song on the spot and they then play it that night!
Enjoy!

Yeah, I know this was last year, but it’s part of the “Magic” tour so what the hell! This was awesome because a little guy in the pit had a big sign that said “RAMROD PLEASE” on it and Bruce decided to make his day (and probably his life too!)
Enjoy this classic from one […]

“Night” always provides a little kick-start to a show (or encore) when needed. You can just feel it when Bruce goes into that quick count-off that “Night” may be coming. I have always felt that this is a very underrated song simply because it is on an album of master pieces. It […]

This is a really great Bruce song that was written in 1990 and donated to Southside Johnny Lyon (Southside later covered the song on his “Better Days” album). However, Springsteen later recorded the song on his own in or around 1997. This recording went unused until 2004 when Springsteen dubbed in some […]

In about two weeks time, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will be headed home.  At that point, they will take a week off before their three night stand at Giants Stadium begins in East Rutherford, NJ.  Simply going by the latest European setlists, the American run should be phenomenal.  With rarities including “Summertime […]
