 Two River Theatre Notes: At the intimate Two River Theatre, Jackson Browne played a benefit show for Terry Magovern’s ALS charity (Joan Dancy and P.A.L.S.). After a lengthy acoustic set (including “I Am a Patriot,” “Late for the Sky,” “In the Shape of a Heart,” and “The Pretender”) Browne was joined by his Rock and […]
Notes: As a hard-rocking, frenetic version of “Atlantic City” performed by The Hold Steady wrapped up the “Tribute to the Music of Bruce Springsteen,” a sold-out Carnegie Hall audience was pleasantly surprised as the man to whom 20 artists had previously paid tribute appeared on stage. Benefiting the Music for Youth Initiative of the UJA-Federation […]
On Tuesday night, “The Bobby Bandiera All-Star Holiday Concert” lived up to its billing, as Bobby wrangled a whole host of New Jersey greats for a full night of holiday cheer. The show was a benefit for the PALS Support Group, a charity started by Terry Magovern in memory of Joan Dancy. After a few […]

Notes: Like the Devils & Dust tour-closer almost exactly one year ago, this final show of the 2006 tour was a family affair. Evan and Sam Springsteen took the stage to announce, “Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band!” They were back to close the main set — along with sister Jessie, […]
What can I say? I’m only just recovering from the brilliance of this gig. So far in the noughties U2 at Slane Castle (the first one) has been my favourite gig. However, Bruce and the Seeger Sessions Band performance in the Point last Fri is my new favourite. I’m a longtime Bruce fan and have […]

Sunday was a day of blistering wind and rain in Dublin — but that was outside the venue. Inside, Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band heated things right up, for what was clearly the best of these three nights at The Point. “Your mama’s gonna get mad at me if you get sick,” said Bruce. […]

The Seeger Sessions Band pulled into Ireland to start a three-night Dublin stand, no longer the ragtag collection of fine individual players they were some months ago, but a tight unit here toward the end of the tour — a band. In fact, as Springsteen made the introductions tonight, he said, “You’ll see them again” […]
After weeks of trying it out at soundchecks, “Youngstown”, quite appropriately, made its tour debut in Sheffield. Tonight’s show has featured a lot of Springsteen-penned tunes, including “Blinded”, “Growin’ Up”, “The River”, “Adam Raised a Cain” “Atlantic City” and “Devils & Dust”. And for the first time in a long time, “Bring ‘Em Home” is […]
