idiots that's who, people who shouldn't be allowed out. Jersey girl, absolutely, trapped, absolutely, raise your hand, while collecting signs. After that, no, never, stop it. He spouts the 'we were a bar band and we had to play covers' rubbish. They were never a bar band, it's a myth like many other he perpetuates and that band he's referring to is not THIS band. That band was the sancious/lopez version. If they were a cover band these wouldn't be premieres, most of the covers in let's say 74/75 were the same from night to night eg when you walk in the room etc. He's playing to the thick folk who don't know the likes of iceman etc but will bounce about to something they've heard a million times before but even then some of them couldn't tell you who it was by. You'll get them all jumping around to brown eyed girl or you really got me but how many would go to a van morrison or ray davies (the kinks might attract the tick off the list brigade so i'm not being specific) gig? two or three tops.Get rid of twist and shout, american land, this little light, shout etc etc and stop the messing about. If people are paying that amount of money they are going to hear his songs not satisfaction - go see the stones they whipped his arse anyway this year.
probably the same folk who would buy an xfactor/american idol/whatever talentless local show anyone gets crap cover version of 'hallelujah' but wouldn't know jeff buckley and even less leonard cohen if he knocked them down. Mind if jeff buckley knocked them down they should be straight on the phone to the pope cos they'd probably have witnessed the second coming.
"As we've been on break we've had a chance to look back on some of the tour highlights. Here's "This Hard Land" from our last night in Kilkenny. Best, Bruce"
I haven't stopped listening to that video of This Hard Land since I saw Bruce post it on facebook. I cannot get over the genius that is Bruce Springsteen
