By 30daysout Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello sat down for a little four hour chat and played a few tunes last September. Last week’s first episode was a little laid back, however, it did feature an excellent acoustic version of “American Skin (41 Shots) and a lot of insite into The Boss’ early da...

By Kevin O'Donnell Who: A New Jersey-bred quartet who’ve gone from playing Brooklyn warehouse parties to opening up for acts like Vampire Weekend.

By msche...@yahoo.com (michael schey) 1. Bruce Springsteen & The ESB - Don't Try To Stump The E Street Band A decent covers compilation from the 2009 tour. Until Flynn's release, this is decent. 2.

By Pete Seeing my favorite artists live in a full band setting is obviously one of life’s great thrills – Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Steve Earle & the Dukes, Los Lobos, Wilco… But just as thrilling for me is witnessing more intimate showcases: the solo acoustic show. To be able t...

By ANTHONY KUZMINSKI(noreply@blogger.com) Every time I want to write Bruce Springsteen off, he rises to the challenge, lifts his Fender Esquire and proceeds to beat the jaded cynic out of me. His last few albums, while admirable, haven’t crawled under my skin the way I wish they did. Many of the shows from the last few years, at times, fe...

By Pete One of the best examples is how Bruce modified “Open All Night”, a track from the sparse acoustic Nebraska album. It’s actually one of the more uptempo numbers on Nebraska. But the Sessions Band took the song to another level – a piano and horn driven stomper right out of the 1950’s.

By ANTHONY KUZMINSKI(noreply@blogger.com) Bruce Springsteen in St Louis the next night. In short, a disappointment. If you had never seen him before, it would have been splendid, but considering how phenomenal the show was the previous year, this one fell flat on all accounts. The biggest issue was the holdover of the same songs from l...

By Andy Greene When Bruce Springsteen first played Giants Stadium in the summer of 1985 he was at the height of his fame. Born in the U.S.A. yielded an astonishing seven Top 10 hits that were inescapable on the radio and MTV. Last night, 24 years and 24 Giants Stadium concerts later, he returned to the New Jersey...

By Pete Bruce Springsteen, one of my heroes in this life, turns 60 years old today.  Not sure where the time goes, all I know is it goes a tad too fast for my liking. This is a simple & short post to send a hearty Happy Birthday out to the Boss. “Brilliant Disguise” is probably my favorite [...]

By 30daysout This was the summer I became a Springsteen nut. It all started when I was at Sound Warehouse in Humble, TX, and the Born In The USA album was playing in the store. I had heard “Born To Run” and “Hungry Heart,” but it wasn’t until I heard “Downbound Train” that I was completely sold. Most fans will th...

By Robert Mancini “Is there anybody alive out there?” he shouted as he and the E Street Band dove into the rollicking “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.” More than 70,000 who had been jeering, heckling and cajoling each other for hours were dancing, suddenly all revelers at Bruce’s party. He pushed the pedal closer t...

By Pop Tarts Suck Toasted I read a line on some blog (my apologies I don't recall which one at the moment) that stated something to the fact that Bruce Springsteen is the over-30 equivalent of Animal Collective. Basically they were trying to say that Bruce is everywhere these days, from rocking for Barack to headlin...

By Pop Tarts Suck Toasted Thoughts: It seems that Bruce is perpetually touring, but since he calls Jersey his hometown he won't be stopping in New York! I don't care what the proximity is all artists should be required to stop in New York whenever they announce a tour! Yes, I know this is a very New York centric opinio...

By ANTHONY KUZMINSKI(noreply@blogger.com) The Bruce Springsteen who wrote and recorded Born To Run was a ghost by the time his fourth album, Darkness on the Edge of Town was recorded and released in 1978. The wide-eyed virtue previously found on tracks such as “Night”, “Born To Run” and “Thunder Road” was long gone. In its place was no l...

By ANTHONY KUZMINSKI(noreply@blogger.com) “Tenth Avenue Freezeout”, “Born To Run”, “Glory Days” and “Rosalita” showered down on the crowd as the band gleefully tore through them with a vengeance and awakening those who were still there. Even the unknown “American Land” managed to evoke a strong reaction. The encore raised a rucku...

By SoulBoogieAlex Over the years John Fogerty's seem to have resurfaced every time Springsteen wanted to assert himself politically.

Olympic equestrian Todd Minikus filed the breach of contract lawsuit Thursday in Florida's Palm Beach County. It claims Springsteen and Patti Scialfa reneged on a deal to pay Minikus $650,000 for the horse, named Pavarotti, and give him their horse named Scarlett, worth $200,000.

By Janine Macdonald The whole album is very much a pop album, and Springsteen displays some of his best pop writing style ever on this. "Dancing In The Dark," "Bobby Jean," "Glory Days," and "No Surrender" are fine examples of this. But as mentioned earlier, there is darkness behind these pop songs. "Dancing In T...

By Pete I came across this 1973 radio broadcast of Mr. Springsteen live in the WBCN Boston studios. Brucebase has the details… Bruce’s first-ever radio station performance and still the earliest circulating “live” material with the E Street Band. The silky-voiced female DJ is the legendary Maxa...
