The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

I do own the Born to Run anniversary edition too and althoug the show included with that one (Hammersmith Odeon 76) is an awesome show I never look/listen to the dvd nor audio. I cannot exactly say why.

As far as I know it's been confirmed that this year Darkness will be released as well as a WOAD-DVD (rumours are the dvd will contain the concert of Hyde Park) and possibly at the end of 2010, start of 2011 a solo album of Bruce will emerge.

Atleast it's worth waiting for, probably.

I cannot wait until that Darkness boxset comes. A remastered Candy's Room and Prove It All Night are things that the world needs!

However, this solo acoustic CD coming out at the end of the year/early 2011 sounds interesting Wouter, where did you hear about this?

I hope it's at the end of this year, that way the tour won't start until next year. As desperate as I am to see Bruce again, I just don't have the money this year.

And I was planning on saving up to go to either Paris/New Jersey/Italy next year for a holiday (well, not really a holiday, I just want to travel). I guess now it'll have to be Jersey - and I can catch The Boss there

I need to get a job.

So much people like/love Prove it all Night and I think it's just such a dragging and boring song so I still can't see what's so good about it.

I cannot find the link anymore to where was stated that his solo album might be released at the end of 2010/start of 2011.

I read about it all (Darknexx-Box, WOAD-DVD and solo-album) in the same article on the internet that contained a small interview with Bruce's producer.

It could make sense though. Clarence needs to get surgery for his back and needs to revalidate as well so he won't be performing any day soon.

The only source I can find now is the Dutch Wikipedia which isn't exactly an official source either. The rumours are there. Lets hope they are true.

I salute you,

London Calling DVD due June 22

Today's press release:

COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND'S 'LONDON CALLING: LIVE IN HYDE PARK' CONCERT FILM ON JUNE 22

RELEASE MARKS FIRST SPRINGSTEEN OUTDOOR CONCERT FILM AND FIRST FROM A FESTIVAL SETTING

On June 22, Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's London Calling: Live In Hyde Park concert film on one Blu-Ray disc and as a two DVD set. Captured in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009 in HD, the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset
into night.

London Calling: Live In Hyde Parkconveys both the experience of being on-stage and the vast crowd experience of the festival environment. Viewers are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves.

The set list spans from Born to Run era to Working on a Dream and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen also performs fan favorite "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," written by Stephen Foster in 1854. Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem joins the band as a guest vocalist on Springsteen's own "No Surrender."

The concert earned rave reviews. The London Times called it "epic" and "a revved-up three-hour power drive through Springsteen's America." The Independent concurred, "He awed the 50,000-strong crowd... Drenched in sweat by the second number, tossing his guitars to the roadies with the vigour of
a frontman a third of his age and jogging down a walkway to meet his fans and take their requests, Springsteen's intensity was staggering from first powerful vocal to final thrashed-out chord."

GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning producer and editor Thom Zimny and director Chris Hilson, both members of Springsteen's video team dating back over a decade, oversaw the film. Audio was mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

Bonus material includes stunning footage of "The River" from Glastonbury, June 27; and the full music video for "Wrecking Ball," filmed at New Jersey's Giants Stadium.

NEW DVD

**** yeah, I was at this gig. Will definitely buy.

Awesome there releasing one of the gigs i was at....would prfer the Wild and innocent one, but bruce was in a great mood at this show, so cant ****ing wait. Also that version of the river from glastonbury is possibly the best i've heard hmmm just noticed they've cut rosie maybe its just been missed off that list...

I will buy this one of course - but there has been much discussion on various Bruce boards about releasing an outdoor show where Bruce was not at his finest. He was exhausted at Hyde Park and his voice was shot. Glastonbury was the day before and it showed.

@Thunderstucker: You was one minute quicker than me.

I've also noticed that Roise is left out. On backstreets.com they wrote this:
So maybe it isn't a mistake.

God dammit, I was hoping for one of the last Jersey shows. The Wild & Innocent in particular.

I am looking forward to a new Springsteen release, do not get me wrong, I'm excited. It's just, as Kathleen said, Bruce wasn't at his best (but that's still always WAY above average) and we've already seen a portion of the show on TV anyway.

But the setlist is damn ****ing fine. Apart from dropping Rosalita!! Who the **** made that decision and why? Did Rosalita die?
