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...

Bruce Springsteen show review

07 May 2009 08:28:50 PDT

Fortunately for the audience, if ever there were a master craftsman of the concert, it's Springsteen, backed by his E Street Band. It was easy at first, with the opening two tracks off 1978's “Darkness on the Edge of Town”—“Badlands” and “Adam Raised a ...

You know, every time I go to a Bruce show, I come out of there thinking it was the best one ever. A few days later, after the adrenaline levels drop back to normal, memories of past concerts come back into focus: "Wait... what about back in...?"This morning, the adrenaline obliterated by not nearly e...

Jamsbio Magazine has a great review of the new Bruce Springsteen record at this link. I don't agree with it and am sticking to my 2 1/2 star review, but this is a good read and well written. It's worth checking out. Bob Dylan appears to be shocking everyone with the release of a new record in April.

By Anthony KuzminskiWhen Bruce Springsteen emerged with Born To Run in 1975, he was put on an altar by the rock press.

As big a Bruce Springsteen fan as I am -- and I've seen the man in concert 32 times -- I was not exactly crazy onboard for the Seeger Sessions project when it was first announced last year. I just figured that after a year of Springsteen doing the acoustic thing on the Devils & Dust album and t...

Written by Glen Boyd
I have to admit that what drew me to this book was its title, which of course comes from the lyric of a certain little tune about the "runaway American dream" by Bruce Springsteen. This isn't, however, about Springsteen, though he is mentioned in passing a few times. If you are already sensing...

Crow always had a terrific voice but on her early albums didn't always have the best control of it. By the time of Globe, she had matured into a great singer and this is one of her vocals I like best. Glen Boyd "Long Time Comin'" from Devils & Dust by Bruce Springsteen.

Concentrating on songs from all three records (the tour is billed as the "Morning Day & Night" tour and focuses on the idea of the three releases as a trilogy of sorts), Yorn himself shifted comfortably between acoustic and electric guitars, harmonica, and of course vocals, backed b...
