As of right now (this very moment), Bruce and company have decided that they will not play any additional dates in 2008. The shows that were being discussed as possibilities (Philadelphia and Newark) are, again as of now, NOT going to take place.
However, plans for 2009 are being heavily discussed at this point and […]

Beginning with the July 28th show at Giants Stadium, it is obvious that anyone who enjoys “The River” album would enjoy this show as well. The show included five songs actually published on “The River” as well as “Held Up (Without a Gun)” which was recorded during the sessions for that LP.
All in all, this […]

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. […]

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 […]
