The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

I went in HMV today on the wild chance it might be on the shelves a day early.

AND IT WAS!

Shame it was £15 though. **** that. I love Bruce to bits and have been waiting for this DVD a long time, it looks brilliant, but I've got Jovi on Saturday and I'm doing out with mates on Wednesday, I can't justify spending anymore money when I can probably get the DVD a lot cheaper elsewhere.

Stoopid HMV.

An appreciation for joy.

Well I'm a miserable bastard and it didn't work for me.

I won't get it until Wednesday or Thursday depending on when they ship it out. £15 is not much it's quite normal to the prices over here however I always get a bill so I can wait 14 days before I pay it. I will have a great midsummer! with a lot of sun, drink and Bruce!

Has anyone here ever actually met or seen Bruce in New Jersey? Not in concert, but like at a bar or walking around, y'know.

Lots of people have. I think he is harder to find now that his kids are grown - he used to just hit the boardwalk for ice cream with the kids.

He is also known for showing up at the Habitat for Humanity building sites on his motorcycle and picking up a hammer and joining in.

People see him at horse events (yes there are lots of those here in Jersey) cheering on his daughter. He tends not to sign autographs at these events as he is there to support his daughter (or so he says). There is a story over on Greasy Lake about a recent sighting.

It never ceases to amaze me how much negativity there is on Bruce boards. Makes this place look like a big Jovi Suck-Fest in comparison.

And that is exactly why my *home away from home* is here and not on any of the Bruce boards. I spent a few years on BTX in one of it's earlier incarnations around 2000 - I found this place in 2001-2002 and never looked back.

I am probably more of a Bruce fan than a Bon Jovi fan but I just couldn't take the attitudes. It was either Bruce is GOD or Bruce sucks - there didn't seem to be much of an in between.

Many will laugh - but people are far nicer here - really they are

I read that he was in Asbury Park the other night, visiting Wonder Bar among other places.

Saw an interview with Little Steven talking about BJ and how he was at the show on Saturday and ALSO about the Darkness box! Bruce has found 20!! outtakes from that era that he's going through and Steven mentioned something about a christmas release....
