    Your politeness dramatically dicreases with yours, too.
  2. Whatever. Just being reasonable.

    I did. And it's close IMO.


  4. yes you're right but the Seeger Session Band is not the E Street Band
    we have
    3 to 5 guitars
    1 violin
    2 keyboards/piano
    1 bass
    1 drum
    3 choristers
    5 wind instruments
    ok he want to substitute Clarence with a large section (included 2 sax), but for me sometimes too many people play guitar (Bruce, Steve and Nils is "enough"); same and even more 3 at choirs, maybe just 1 could do what is needed if it is really needed .. just take Patti Scialfa if you can't stay without her
    maybe it's just me being for more essential stuff.
    i'm just doing a consideration .. not complaining here .. what i hear from the Apollo is good with some low points but surely good in the whole
  5. Bruce Springsteen, E Street Band have private rehearsal in Asbury Park

    "I Ain't Got No Home" (cover)
    "Long Walk Home," "The Ghost of Tom Joad," and "Vigilante Man."

  6. 4 days to the start
  7. I'm one of the few hardcores that has nothing against "Waitin' On A Sunny Day." It's over-played but it's definitely a well-written pop song that the crowd eats alive. And it's one of his few "happy" songs that are actually good..

    As for signs, I'm glad that's being surrendered. The "stump the band" covers got really old after a while. Most of the time, he was just performing bar band songs (like "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks) that nobody cared about. Or if he was in the mood to use one of his own, it wasn't much of a curve ball & it would make the shows more predictable.
  8. Bruce's new album Wrecking Ball first received rave reviews from the press, and now the fans have spoken, too! The album debuted at #1 on the charts in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This is Bruce's 10th #1 album in the United States, tying him with Elvis Presley for the third most #1 albums in US chart history. Congratulations to Bruce, and thank you to everyone who helped Wrecking Ball top the charts!

  10. Tom Morello? What does Rage Against The Machine have to do with Bruce Springsteen or his E Street Band? Oh well...

    I like Thunder Road as main set closer, but there are too many classics lost. Maybe Jungleland is not to be performed again after Clarence passing, but what about The River, Born To Run, Spirit In The Night, Because The Night, Rosalita, etc, etc, etc? Not liking their warm-ups so far. Too many people on stage and very few interesting things actually happening on stage. Well, let the actual tour start I'd say.
  11. after the end of Audioslave Morello is dedicating himself in folk music too
