The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

I never really got Racing In The Street, I like it, but I dunno, there's just something about it that doesn't grab me.

The weird thing is though, I can see why people do love it :/ Weird.

ANYWAY, today I payed £4.50 for a magazine just because it had a Bruce interview. Oh and a CD of 15 songs from Bruce's own playlist.

I don't have a scanner but sometime over the week I'll try and take some pictures of each page and blow them up and upload them for ya'll.

Yes Kathleen. The sax is brilliantly mixed in Jungleland. The harmonica in The Promised Land for example is weak again. Odd mix to me so far.

I salute you,

It certainly is. For me, Racing and the bonus footage of The River from Glastonbury are the absolute highlights. I enjoyed the whole thing, but those 2 songs are spectacular.

I really like the new DVD, sure his voice is rough on a couple of songs but he still gives one hell of a performance. "Racing in the street", "Jungleland" and "No surrender" are big highlights for me.

Same for me.
I been watching it for 2 hours in a row now while cleaning my room and getting rid of old stuff and man, now i know how Kathleen was able to sit out the whole concert. Once you think Bruce's voice is shot he pulls another can of energy open and there he goes again.

What an energy and I am more and more discovering more songs of him. Songs I discovered due this dvd so far are Racing in the Street and Trapped now as well. The lyrics of Trapped perfectly fit some situations I was in last years.

There ain't a tour of him I wanna miss from now on ! Solo or with the band.

Well - yeah - that's what happens with Bruce. He sucks you in and never lets go. I mostly originally loved the E St Band stuff but once I went to a solo show I fell in love with that too - and then there was the Seeger Sessions Band - and I loved that too. The man is a hell of a good musician.

There were times during that Hyde Park show that you thought his voice was going to go off completely. And then he came back and pulled some more energy out of somewhere (unless he has a Dr. Feelgood backstage LOL).

If he does a solo tour I'm right there. Would love to hear some Nebraska and Devils & Dust material live. Would be incredible infact.

I'd KILL, I actually mean I'd KILL somebody with my own two bare hands to experience him playing Reason To Believe the way he did on the Ghost Of Tom Joad tour.

Oh Ghost Of Tom Joad tour, how I wish I wasn't 5 years old when you came around.

Just ordered the dvd! cant wait to hear it. especially to relive that magnificent version of the river from glastonbury again (i know its on youtube but not in HD)

If I may jump off the topic of Hyde Park for a moment, I have to say I've been living in The River album for the last week or two. The mix of frivolity and seriousness is brilliant.
