BLACK = NOT YET CRITICALLY LISTENED TO,

MAY NOT BE LISTENED TO AT ALL.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF ANY TRADERS SELECT UN-REVIEWED SHOWS, I WILL BE GLAD TO BURN THEM FOR YOU BUT I AM UNABLE TO GUARANTEE THAT THEY ARE CLEAN RECORDINGS. UN-REVIEWED DISCS MAY (AND MOST LIKELY WILL) HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ERRORS: TAPE HISS, SNAPS, POPS, BAD EDITS, CUTS, MISSING TRACKS, ETC. THE TRADER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR UN-REVIEWED DISCS.

CDR BRANDS SEEM TO BE A PERSONAL SUBJECT. I TYPICALLY BUY WHATEVER IS ON SALE AT THE TIME AND I BUY THEM IN BULK (150+). SOMETIMES I BUY MEMOREX, SOMETIMES IMATION; SOMETIMES IT’S A BRAND LIKE PNY WHICH I HAVE FOUND TO AN EXCELLENT DISC. AS LONG AS EACH PARTY KNOWS WHAT THE OTHER IS USING AND IS OK WITH THEIR DISC OF CHOICE THAT IS FINE WITH ME. I BELIEVE IN FULL DISCLOSURE. REMEMBER, THESE ARE BOOTLEGS AND DO NOT HAVE THE GREATEST SOUND TO BEGIN WITH IN SOME CASES. I HAVE A REALLY GOOD SOUND SYSTEM AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGH END DISCS TEND TO EMPHASIZE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE SOURCE DISC. I'VE RECEIVED IN TRADE EVERYTHING FROM THE ULTRA HIGH END TO THE VERY LOW END DISC AND THE DIFFERENCES ARE JUST NOT WORTH THE DRASTICALLY INCREASED COST FOR "NAME BRAND" DISCS. THEREFORE, A CHEAPER BUT STILL QUALITY DISC WHICH YOU CAN AFFORD TO BUY IN BULK IS BETTER IN MY OPINION. I’M SORRY IF THIS OPINION NEGATES A POTENTIAL TRADE WITH ANYONE INTERESTED IN EXCHANGING DISCS WITH ME.

I HAVE DISCOVERED ONE BRAND OF CDR TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS: UNBRANDED VERBATIM DISCS. I HAD A TRADE WHERE 3 OUT 4 OF THESE DISCS FAILED TO BURN EVEN THOUGH I IMAGED MY CD TO THE HARD DRIVE FIRST. I EVEN TRIED BURNING AT 1X SPEED NOTHING WORKED, PLEASE AVOID THESE DISCS!

AS OF DECEMBER 13, 2006 MY STOCK OF BLANK CDR’S CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:

(IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU CAN AFTER OUR TRADE IS FINALIZED, THANKS)

250 MAXELL 80 MINUTE BLANKS

I GUARANTEE THAT ALL DISCS I COPY FOR YOU WILL BE FREE FROM ANY DEFECTS CAUSED BY MY EQUIPMENT DURING THE COPYING PROCESS. FOR EXAMPLE, MISTAKENLY BURNING A DISC TAO. ANY DISCS THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM ME THAT HAVE DEFECTS CAUSED BY MY EQUIPMENT WILL BE REPLACED AT NO OBLIGATION TO YOU. LIKEWISE, I WOULD EXPECT THE SAME COURTESY FROM YOU.

ARTWORK

WHILE I DO NOT MAKE IT A PRACTICE TO COLLECT ARTWORK, I HAVE, HOWEVER, ASSEMBLED 3 VOLUMES OF ARTWORK FILES ON CDR’S OF THE FOLLOWING:

C1 - VOLUME 1 IS 800 ZIP FILES OF VARIOUS FRONT AND BACK COVERS. I HAVE NOT CATALOGED WHAT IS ON THIS DISC. I JUST DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING FROM SEVERAL BRUCELEG COVER ART SITES ON THE INTERNET.

C19 - VOLUME 2 AMOUNTS TO ALMOST 2,700 INDIVIDUAL FILES (SOME OF WHICH MAY/WILL BE DUPLICATED ON VOLUME 1).

I HAVE NOT CATALOGED WHAT IS ON THIS DISC. I JUST DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING FROM SEVERAL BRUCELEG COVER ART SITES ON THE INTERNET.

C19 - VOLUME 3 IS NEARLY 500 ARTWORK FILES FROM COMPILATION SETS ONLY. I HAVE NOT CATALOGED WHAT IS ON THIS DISC. I JUST DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING FROM SEVERAL BRUCELEG COVER ART SITES ON THE INTERNET.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE RECORDINGS ARE BY NATURE IMPERFECT AND SOME DO CONTAIN AN OCCASIONAL ODD SOUND (I.E. SNAP, CRACKLE, POP) OR BAD EDIT. I HAVE NOT YET EXHAUSTIVELY CATALOGED EVERY GLITCH ON EVERY DISC THAT I HAVE COLLECTED. (SEE ABOVE NOTE ABOUT “THE LISTENING PROJECT”) IN SHORT, I CAN LIVE WITH A FEW MINOR GLITCHES ON ANY GIVEN DISC I RECEIVE. I THINK IT’S TO BE EXPECTED GIVEN THE NATURE OF THESE DISCS. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN TOO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE READ AND ACCEPT ALL OF THE TRADING CONDITIONS LISTED ABOVE.

MY THANKS TO BOTH RICH BRETON OF THE BRUCELEGS WEBSITE AND JOHN LEACH OF THE BRUCEBASE WEBSITE FOR GENEROUSLY PROVIDING MOST OF THE INFORMATION REGARDING SETLISTS, DATES AND CONCERT INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS LIST. NONE OF US COLLECTORS COULD DO IT WITHOUT YOU. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORTS.

BLANKS AND POSTAGE POLICY:

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE MUSIC IN MY COLLECTION SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO ALL INTERESTED AT NO COST. THERE IS, HOWEVER, AN INCREASINGLY LARGE INVESTMENT OF MY TIME BEING REQUIRED IN BURNING GROUPS OF DISCS FOR THOSE EITHER JUST STARTING OUT IN THEIR COLLECTING ADVENTURE OR WISHING TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR COLLECTION. BECAUSE OF THIS DEMAND I NEED TO ENACT THE FOLLOWING BLANKS AND POSTAGE POLICY FROM THIS DATE (SEPTEMBER 1, 2002) FORWARD:

THE FIRST 30 DISCS WILL BE BURNED AT A RATE OF 1 TO 1.

DISCS 31-75 WILL BE BURNED AT A RATE OF 2 TO 1 (I.E. 1 FOR ME TO KEEP)

DISCS 76-INFINITE WILL BE BURNED AT A RATE OF 3 TO 1 (I.E. 2 FOR ME TO KEEP)

IN ADDITION, WITH LARGE DISC REQUESTS (I.E. 30 OR MORE, GRATUITIES ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED!)

HERE IS A SAMPLE TO HELP IN FIGURING OUT HOW MANY DISCS YOU NEED TO SEND:

YOU WANT 100 DISCS COPIED FROM MY COLLECTION. (THIS IS NOT AS RARE AS IT WOULD SEEM!)

FIRST 30 ARE 1:1 = 30 DISCS YOU SEND 30 DISCS, 70 DISCS LEFT TO BE BURNED

31-75 ARE 2:1 = 45 DISCS X 2 = YOU SEND 90 DISCS, 25 DISCS LEFT TO BE BURNED 76-100 ARE 3:1 = 25 DISCS X 3 = YOU SEND 75 DISCS, 0 DISCS LEFT TO BE BURNED, YOUR ORDER IS COMPLETE!! THEREFORE, FOR A 100 DISC ORDER YOU WILL NEED TO SEND ME 195 DISCS.

WHAT IS AN ALD?

HAVING LISTENED TO OVER A DOZEN ALD SOURCED SHOWS; I BELIEVE THAT I CAN NOW KNOWLEDGEABLY COMMENT ON JUST WHAT THIS TYPE OF RECORDING MEANS. ALD STANDS FOR "ASSISTED LISTENING DEVICE". ALD’S ARE INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO ARE HARD OF HEARING TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY SOUNDS AT A COLISEUM AS MUCH AS THOSE WHO ARE NOT HEARING IMPAIRED. ALD TECHNOLOGY WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A MEDIUM FOR RECORDING PERFORMANCES HOWEVER AND IT DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT SHORTCOMINGS. ALD WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNED TO BE USED FOR AMPLIFYING THE SPOKEN WORD WHERE "STEREO" SOUND IS NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRED. MOST ALD EQUIPPED ARENAS THEREFORE HAVE THREE "CHANNELS" IN THE BUILDING. A STAGE RIGHT, STAGE LEFT, AND A STAGE CENTER CHANNEL. WHEN ONLY 1 SOUND SOURCE IS BEING USED ON ALL THREE CHANNELS, THIS RESULTS IN PERFECTLY BALANCED SOUND. HOWEVER, DURING A LIVE PERFORMANCE THESE THREE CHANNELS ARE USED BY ALL THE PERFORMERS AND THEIR INSTRUMENTS. THEIR STAGE POSITION DETERMINES WHAT CHANNEL THE SOUND THEY ARE PRODUCING WILL BE PRIMARILY HEARD ON. THESE THREE CHANNELS ARE THEN SENT TO THE MAIN FLOOR MIXING BOARD WHERE THEY ARE RE-BALANCED AND BROADCAST OUT OVER THE PA SYSTEM IN STEREO SOUND. WHEN A RECORDER TAPS INTO THE ALD SYSTEM, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHICH OF THE THREE CHANNELS THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE. SO, FOR THE 1999-2000 AND 2002-2003 BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TOUR RECORDINGS THAT ARE ALD SOURCED THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL HEAR: STAGE POSITION (LEFT TO RIGHT LOOKING AT THE STAGE)

CLARENCE CLEMONS 60% LEFT, 25% CENTER, 15% RIGHT

DANNY FEDERICI SAME NUMBERS

NILS LOFGREN SAME NUMBERS

MAX WEINBERG 33% LEFT, 33% CENTER, 33% RIGHT

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SAME NUMBERS AS MAX

GARRY TALLENT 15% LEFT, 25% CENTER, 60% RIGHT

ROY BITTAN SAME NUMBERS AS GARRY

STEVE VAN ZANDT SAME NUMBERS AS GARRY

PATTI SCIALFA SAME NUMBERS AS GARRY.

IN OTHER WORDS A "CENTER-RIGHT" WEIGHTED ALD RECORDING WILL RESULT IN THOSE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE STAGE BEING SOMEWHAT MUTED. YOU CAN EXTRAPOLATE THIS TO ALL OTHER COMBINATIONS AS WELL.

IS IT A MP3 OR NOT?

I ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION TO THE RMAS GROUP:

IS THERE A DEFINITIVE WAY TO IDENTIFY MP3 SOURCED BRUCELEGS? I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE 2 SECOND GAPS WAS THE ONLY DEAD GIVEAWAY TO AN MP3 SOURCE. LATELY, HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN GETTING ALOT OF SHOWS THAT HAVE A SPLIT SECOND "MICROCLICK" BETWEEN TRACKS. ARE THESE MP3 SOURCES AS WELL?

I RECEIVED THIS AS A RESPONSE FROM THE GURU OF ALL EUROPEAN TRADERS, FRANK MURPHEY:

“THE ANSWER IS NO. THOUGH MP3 SOURCED FILES DO SHOW A DROP OFF IN FREQUENCY, THIS CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY NON-MP3 SHOWS THAT ARE RECORDED USING MINI-DISC, WHICH USES A COMPRESSION SIMILAR TO MP3. THE VISUAL DROP-OFF IN FREQUENCY CAN ALSO BE MODIFIED BY THE SAME EDITING PROGRAMS E.G. COOL EDIT, SOUNDFORGE, SO THAT THE PERSON WHO RECEIVES THE DISCS CANNOT SEE ANY DROP-OFF. THE 2 SEC. GAP YOU MENTION IS USUALLY A RESULT OF A BURNING COCKUP, WHERE THE BURNER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE; THE MINI CLICKS CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY INCORRECT TRACK SPLITTING I.E. BY NOT USING CDRWAV. ANYONE WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF AUDIO EDITING CAN DISGUISE AN MP3 SOURCED SHOW, YOU ARE BASICALLY LEFT TO THE HONESTY OF TRADERS.”

AS OF 11/1/2002 I WILL BE BEGINNING TO PERFORM FREQUENCY TESTS ON ALL SHOWS IN MY COLLECTION USING THE PROGRAM “EXACT AUDIO COPY”. THE CRITERIA THAT I WILL BE USING TO DECIDE IF ANY GIVEN RECORDING IS AN MP3 SOURCE OR NOT WILL BE THE FOLLOWING:

MP3 SOURCED RECORDINGS TEND TO HAVE A DRAMATIC DROP-OFF IN FREQUENCY AT AROUND 19 KILOHERTZ, YOU CANNOT “HEAR” THIS BUT YOU CAN “SEE” IT USING EXACT AUDIO COPY’S FREQUENCY ANALYSIS TOOLS. SINCE THIS IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE MY CALLING A SPECIFIC RECORDING AN MP3 OR NOT IS STILL MY JUDGEMENT CALL. AS THIS TESTING PROCEDURE OCCURS, I WILL NOTE ON EACH REVIEWED SHOW WHAT THE RESULTS ARE.

CURRENT BURNING PROCEDURE:

AS OF 09/01/05 ALL DISCS THAT I COPY ARE TEMPORARILY IMAGED TO A HARD-DRIVE FIRST AND THEN BURNED TO THE CDR AT 4X USING NERO 6.6.1.4 SOFTWARE. THIS METHOD HAS DROPPED MY BURN FAILURE RATE TO NEARLY ZERO.

SOUND QUALITY

STUDIO - THE NAME SAYS IT ALL

SUPERB - EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY; LITTLE TO NO INTRUSIVE AUDIENCE NOISE; ALWAYS A SOUNDBOARD COPY OR AUDIENCE DAT WITH GOOD “ATMOSPHERE”

VERY GOOD - MINIMAL AUDIENCE NOISE, USUALLY A SOUNDBOARD OR AUDIENCE DAT, A VERY GOOD AUDIENCE RECORDING OR A FM BROADCAST. THE TAPER ALSO MOST LIKELY HAD REALLY GOOD SEATS WHERE THE SOUND WAS AT ITS BEST.

GOOD - AUDIENCE NOISE MAY BE HEARD DURING QUIET SONGS AND BETWEEN SONGS; QUALITY OF SOUND IS PASSABLE BUT THE SHOW WAS RECORDED FURTHER AWAY FROM STAGE COMPARED TO A “VERY GOOD” RATING.

AVERAGE - SOUND IS BECOMING THIN, HOLLOW, MUDDY OR MUFFLED TO SOME EXTENT; AUDIENCE CAN BE HEARD DURING SONGS; SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS RECORDED FROM THE BACK OF THE VENUE OR ANOTHER NON-OPTIMAL POSITION.

POOR - VALUABLE ONLY TO VORACIOUS COLLECTORS LIKE MYSELF.

THESE RATINGS ALSO HAVE +/- ITERATIONS INHERENT TO THEM. PLEASE EXTRAPOLATE AS YOU NEED TO.

WHERE A CONCERT IS LISTED AS HAVING TWO QUALITY CATEGORIES (I.E. AVERAGE/AVERAGE-) LISTED, THE TRADER SHALL CONSIDER THE SOUND TO BE “WEIGHTED” TOWARDS THE FIRST LISTED CATEGORY. AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE RATINGS ARE MEANT AS A GUIDELINE ONLY, THESE CDR’S WERE “EVALUATED” ON SEVERAL STEREO SYSTEMS:

1. HOME: STEREO EQUIPMENT (JVC, SONY, AIWA) THROUGH HARMON-KARDON SPEAKERS, ACOUSTIC RESEARCH CABLES.

2. WORK: AIWA BOOKSHELF SYSTEM ON SONY HEADPHONES

3. VEHICLE’S: BOSE AND PIONEER CDR STEREOS.

THE SOUND MAY AND MOST LIKELY WILL DIFFER ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.

FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO EQUATE A NUMERICAL VALUE TO SOUND QUALITY, MY QUALITY SCALE WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

STUDIO = 10, SUPERB = 9.0, VERY GOOD+ = 8.5, VERY GOOD = 8.0, VERY GOOD- = 7.5, GOOD+ = 7.0, GOOD = 6.5

GOOD- = 6.0, AVERAGE+ = 5.5, AVERAGE = 5.0, AVERAGE- = 4.5, POOR = 4.0 AND DOWN TO 1.0

WITH ALL OF THAT OUT OF THE WAY, THE FOLLOWING ARE TITLES THAT ARE IN MY POSSESSION AND ARE IN ORDER BY THE DATE THE PERFORMANCE TOOK PLACE (MORE OR LESS):

CURRENT INCOMING TRADES:

1969

2 SHOWS

C20 - SEPTEMBER 20, 1969 “A RARE NIGHT WITH CHILD” FREE UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.SOUND IS REMARKABLY GOOD CONSIDERING ITS AGE. I WOULD GIVE IT A GOOD DESPITE WHAT THE NOTES FROM THE BRUCEBASE SAY BELOW. ALL TRACKS HAVE MODERATE TO SEVERE VOLUME/FIDELITY FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. SEE NOTES BELOW FOR FURTHER NOTATION OF STRANGENESS. ONE SHOW, HELD INDOORS AT THE UNIVERSITY’S “CENTER”, WITH CHILD THE LONE ACT ON THE BILL. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A CIRCULATING 62-MINUTE INDOOR AUDIENCE RECORDING OF ONLY FAIR SOUND QUALITY. THIS IS CURRENTLY THE EARLIEST KNOWN CHILD-STEEL MILL AUDIO IN CIRCULATION. THIS AUDIO FIRST SURFACED OVER 27 YEARS AGO BUT QUICKLY BECAME CANNIBALIZED IN THE TAPE TRADING POOL. IN 1977 TWO OF THESE TRACKS (“SISTER THERESA” AND “RESURRECTION”) APPEARED ON THE VINYL BOOT “RESURRECTED” WITHOUT ANY SOURCE INFORMATION. THE REMAINDER OF THE AUDIO HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED ON ANY MAINSTREAM LP (OR CD) BOOT AND SINCE THE EARLY 1980’S HAS TENDED TO CIRCULATE WITH TRACKS MISSING. FORTUNATELY IT HAS BEGUN TO CIRCULATE AGAIN IN RECENT YEARS ON CDR IN ITS ORIGINAL 62-MINUTE EDITION. THERE ARE DISCERNABLE EDITS BETWEEN TRACKS AND THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE SHOW, WHICH IS LIKELY TO HAVE LASTED ABOUT 90 MINUTES AND INCLUDED 2 OR 3 ADDITIONAL SONGS. HOWEVER IT IS ALL THE AUDIO FROM THIS GIG THAT IS KNOWN TO EXIST. ALL SONGS ARE COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR “GARDEN STATE PARKWAY BLUES”, WHICH IS FADED OUT PREMATURELY AND COULD BE MISSING SEVERAL MINUTES. “KT-88”, AN INSTRUMENTAL, IS INTRODUCED BY BRUCE AS A NEW CREATION. THIS IS THE ONLY CIRCULATING PERFORMANCE OF “SISTER THERESA” AND THE FLUTE-LIKE SOUND HEARD ON THIS TRACK (AND OTHERS IN THIS SHOW) IS A RECORDER BEING PLAYED BY VINI LOPEZ. OVER THE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE SPECULATION REGARDING THE TIME AND LOCATION OF THIS AUDIO. THE EARLIEST TRADED SPECIMENS OF THIS AUDIO IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE AS A DATE-UNSPECIFIED 1969 GIG A RICHMOND CLUB CALLED “THE STRING FACTORY”. SINCE NO VERIFIED GIG DATE AT THE STRING FACTORY WAS FOUND IN ANY EARLY TIMELINE SOURCES, SOME COLLECTORS BEGAN ASSIGNING THE AUDIO TO OTHER GIG DATES. CONSEQUENTLY THIS AUDIO HAS BEEN LINKED TO A PLETHORA OF SHOWS FROM 1969 AND 1970. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE EARLY SOURCE IDENTIFICATION WAS FAIRLY ACCURATE. THIS MATERIAL IS INDEED FROM 1969 IN RICHMOND – BUT IT’S FROM “THE CENTER”, WHICH CHANGED ITS NAME TO “THE STRING FACTORY” IN THE FALL OF 1970. THIS PERFORMANCE IS PRIOR TO MARCH 1970, AS IT FEATURES VINNIE ROSLYN ON BASS AND BACKGROUND VOCALS. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SEVERAL SHOWS AT THE CENTER DURING THE VINNIE ROSLYN ERA, THE SOUND OF A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM CAN BE HEARD OUTSIDE THE BUILDING DURING “GARDEN STATE PARKWAY BLUES” - THIS ALLOWS THE CANDIDATE GIGS FROM THE WINTER MONTHS TO BE ELIMINATED. NOTE: THIS AUDIO MAY BE FROM THE PREVIOUS EVENING’S PERFORMANCE ON THE 19TH.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 1, 1969 “CHILD ON BOARD” 1 CDR VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

NO SET DETAILS KNOWN. ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, HELD IN THE VCU GYM, WITH CHILD HEADLINING AND RICHMOND BAND RAIN OPENING. FOLLOWING THIS SHOW THE BAND RETURNED TO NEW JERSEY ONLY TO LEARN THAT ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND FROM LONG ISLAND, NY WAS NOT ONLY USING THE NAME “CHILD”- THEY’D ALSO JUST RELEASED AN ALBUM UNDER THAT NAME ON THE ROULETTE RECORDS LABEL. CONSEQUENTLY THIS NOV 1ST GIG IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN THE LAST GIG PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE BAND’S DECISION TO CHANGE ITS NAME FROM CHILD TO “STEEL MILL” (A NAME SUGGESTED BY A FRIEND OF VINI LOPEZ). FOR THE REMAINDER OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER THE GROUP’S PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL TENDED TO INCORPORATE BOTH NAMES IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE CONFUSION.

C10 - MAY 16, 1970 “UNTITLED” VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY GYM. RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. THIS IS THE COMPLETE SETLIST. AS SO OFTEN WITH STEEL MILL SHOWS, SHORTENED VERSIONS OF THIS SHOW, SOMETIMES WITH TRACKS REARRANGED, ALSO CIRCULATE. SOMETIMES DATED TO MAY 23. THE DATE AND VENUE SEEM TO BE CONFIRMED. BRUCE MENTIONS THE JAMES RIVER (OUTSIDE RICHMOND) AND THE "GYM" DURING THE SHOW. THE ONLY OTHER KNOWN PERFORMANCE AT THE VCU GYM WAS IN 1969, WHEN THEY WERE STILL "CHILD," BUT THE ANNOUNCER HERE CLEARLY INTRODUCES THEM AS "STEEL MILL." SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR. MAY BE INCOMPLETE, UNABLE TO VERIFY. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "RESURRECTION" HAS SOME STATIC FROM 5:55-6:04. TRACK 1 HAS SOME BAD EDITING FROM 11:00 TO THE END OF THE TRACK, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 2 "THE FUCKED UP AMPLIFIER BLUES" HAS BACKGROUND STATIC FROM 8:00-END OF TRACK. TRACK 2 HAS A GAP FROM 9:29-9:31, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 3 FADES OUT @ 7:00; IT COMES BACK WITH A TAPE WARP @ 7:03, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 4 IS "FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH" BY BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD WHICH HAS BEEN GIVEN A HARD ROCK/BLUES MAKE-OVER BY STEEL MILL. TRACK 6 CUTS OFF ABRUPTLY @ 3:43, THE SONG WAS NOT OVER. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C10 - MAY 16, 1970 “UNTITLED” VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY GYM. RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. INCOMPLETE RECORDING, THE FIRST 9 SONGS OF STEEL MILLS 12 SONG SET ARE CAPTURED ON THIS DISC.. DISC IS CLEAN EXCEPT FOR SOME SMALL EDITS EDITING OUT THE AUDIENCE APPLAUSE. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR. SETLIST WAS: 01 KT88 02 JEANNIE I WANT TO THANK YOU 03 I AM THE DOCTOR 04 SOMETHING'S GONNA BREAK 05 TEMPORARY OUT OF ORDER 06 SWEET MELINDA 07 COME ON (THE WORLD IS CRYING FOR FREEDOM) 08 RESURRECTION 09 (FUCKED UP) AMPLIFIER BLUES 10 FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH 11 RUN SHAKER LIFE 12 TWENTY MORE MILES.

C21 - MAY 23, 1970 “UNTITLED” VCU GYM, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 1 CDR

NO FULL SET DETAILS KNOWN - POSTER AND AD CONFIRMS THE DATE. MERCY FLIGHT AGAIN BACKED UP STEEL MILL. "THE MAGICAL TIME OF 11:00 CAME AND THE CONCERT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER BUT THE BAND, AND THE CROWD, WOULDN’T HEAR OF IT. STEEL MILL PLOWED ON UNTIL FINALLY THE AUTHORITIES DECIDED "NOW WE’LL REALLY SHUT THE POWER OFF ". WHICH THEY DID. BUT THEY COULDN’T SHUT THE DRUMS OFF. WELL ...LOPEZ, WITH THE HELP OF SOME UNNAMED PREVIOUS PERFORMERS BACKSTAGE, CONTINUED DRUMMING AWAY. VINNIE POUNDING ON THE DRUMS ON STAGE AND MERCY FLIGHT POUNDING ON THE DRUMS THAT WERE BACKSTAGE. THE CROWD WAS DANCING AND THE PLACE JUST WOULDN’T STOP. AT ONE POINT IT SEEMED IT WAS NEAR RIOT AND PANDIMONIUM. I THINK EVENTUALLY SECURITY, OR WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SECURITY, JUMP UP ON THE STAGE AND GRABBED VINNIE THE DRUMMER AND AFTER A LITTLE FISTICUFFS HAULED HIM OFF TO JAIL. I REMEMBER IT BEING QUITE A NIGHT". SOUND IS AVERAGE FOR THE PERIOD (MODERATELY TO SEVERELY MUDDY THROUGHOUT, HIGH TAPE HISS). 8 SONGS WERE CAPTURED FROM THIS CONCERT. GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C12 - JUNE 13, 1970 “UNTITLED” ICE PALACE, BRICKTOWN, NJ 1 CDR

NOTE: DATE IS VERY UNCERTAIN. THIS TAPE IS SOMETIMES DATED TO 9/4/71 STUDENT PRINCE, ASBURY PARK. SINCE BOTH THIS AND THE FALL DATES AT THE STUDENT PRINCE ARE RELATIVELY FAMOUS ONES (MAY 14 FOR DR. ZOOM & THE SONIC BOOM, THE STUDENT PRINCE FROM BRUCE'S LATER STAGE RAPS IN "THE E STREET SHUFFLE" ABOUT PLAYING THERE), THE IDENTIFICATION OF THIS RECORDING WITH EITHER OF THEM IS SUSPECT. THE ABSENCE OF THE BACKING SINGERS AND HORNS, HOWEVER, POINTS TO THIS LATER PERIOD. DATE MAY IN FACT BE 2/27/1970. SOUND IS POOR. TRACK 1 "GUILTY" HAS SEVERE VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. IN ADDITION, THIS TAPE SOMETIMES CIRCULATES AS FEBRUARY 27, 1970 OR AS AT THE CENTER IN RICHMOND, VA. AN ANNOUNCER CAN BE HEARD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TAPE, EXPLAINING THAT MC5 IS STUCK IN CONNECTICUT AND SO STEEL MILL IS PLAYING INSTEAD, CONFIRMING THE ABOVE DATE AND VENUE. A SURVIVING TICKET STUB INDICATES THAT THIS SHOW WAS SCHEDULED TO BE GRAND FUNK RAILROAD WITH MC5 OPENING. MC5 CANCELLED AND STEEL MILL SUBSTITUTED FOR THEM. BRUCE WAS THE WARM UP ACT FOR GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. THE MC5 WERE ON THE BILL FOR THE SHOW, BUT CANCELLED, AND BRUCE WAS SUBSTITUTED, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE BAND ON THE TICKET. THERE WERE TWO SHOWS ON THIS PARTICULAR NIGHT.

C21 - JULY 17, 1970 “UNTITLED” 1CDR

ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH STEEL MILL HEADLINING AND LOTUS OPENING. THIS AUDIO HAS HAS ONLY PARTIALLY CIRCULATED ON A BOOTLEG "DON'T SWEAT IT" VINYL IN LIMITED QUANTITIES AND IN POOR QUALITY. IT IS CIRCULATING IN COMPLETE FORM VIA PRIVATE CDR SOURCES (USUALLY IDENTIFIED ONLY AS “SUMMER 1970” OR “MID-1970” OR “UNKNOWN LOCATION”). THE AUDIO SEEMS TO INCLUDE THE FIRST 3 SONGS OF THE NIGHT AND THE FINAL TWO SONGS, WITH “RUN SHAKER LIFE” CUT VERY PREMATURELY. THIS WOULD REPRESENT ONLY ABOUT HALF OF A NORMAL SHOW’S LENGTH. FOLLOWING A NICE SHOW-OPENING “DANCING IN THE STREETS” SPRINGSTEEN JOKINGLY COMMENTS “IT’S ALL HAPPEN’ OUT THERE IN THE STREET, SO WHAT ARE WE DOING IN HERE”? DURING THE EPIC “GARDEN STATE PARKWAY BLUES” BRUCE MENTIONS DRIVING THROUGH OCEAN GROVE ON A SUNDAY, AS WELL AS THE FIREWORKS AT THE FREEHOLD RACEWAY – BOTH COMMENTS DRAW A NOTICEABLE CROWD REACTION. THESE COMMENTS INDICATE THIS AUDIO IS FROM AN INDOOR SUMMERTIME PERFORMANCE IN THE ASBURY PARK AREA. WHEN COMBINING THE SOUND OF THE AUDIENCE SIZE, THE TRACK LISTING AND THE VERY LIMITED GIG BOOKINGS THE BAND HAD DURING THE SUMMER OF 1970 – THESE COMBINED OFFER A STRONG LIKELIHOOD THIS AUDIO IS FROM EITHER THIS NIGHT OR THE FOLLOWING NIGHT’S SUNSHINE IN SHOW. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE-. DISC ONE: TRACK 4 IS CUT AT 3:47 AS INDICATED IN THE NOTES ABOVE.

C10 - AUGUST 14, 1970 “UNTITLED” 7TH & MARSHALL ST. PARKING DECK. RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. MERCY FLIGHT AGAIN PROVIDED THE OPENING SET "ONE MEMORABLE SONG OF MERCY FLIGHTS WAS "TRAIN RIDE". IT WAS LATER COVERED BY SPRINGSTEEN AND STEEL MILL WHEN THEIR SINGER, ROBBIN THOMPSON, JOINED HIS GROUP. SOUND IS AVERAGE-. THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING; ONLY 4 SONGS WERE CAPTURED ON THIS RECORDING ALTHOUGH A MORE COMPLETE ONE DOES EXIST. TRACK 3 CUTS OFF @ 6:11, ABOUT 1/2 THROUGH THE SONG. TRACK 4 CUTS OFF EARLY AS WELL.

C18 - AUGUST 14, 1970 “WE AIN’T HAD A JOB IN A LONG FUCKING TIME” RICHMOND, VA 2 CDR’S

NOTES: THIS IS THE MORE COMPLETE VERSION AS REFERRED TO ABOVE. SOUND IS AVERAGE+ (HIGH TAPE HISS). DISC ONE: THE FOLLOWING SONGS: "SISTER TERESA", "I AM THE DOCTOR" AND "SWEET MELINDA" ARE ALL REPORTED AS BEING PLAYED ON THE NIGHT BUT ARE NOT ON THE TAPE. “THE WIND AND THE RAIN” WAS TAPED BUT THE MIKES KEPT FALLING OVER IN THE WIND THAT NIGHT, IRONICALLY, SO THE TAPES WERE BADLY AFFECTED AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECORDING. MERCY FLIGHT AGAIN PROVIDED THE OPENING SET "ONE MEMORABLE SONG OF MERCY FLIGHTS WAS "TRAIN RIDE". IT WAS LATER COVERED BY SPRINGSTEEN AND STEEL MILL WHEN OUR SINGER ROBBIN THOMPSON JOINED HIS GROUP. THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER STORY". DISC ONE: THERE ARE SEVERAL 1 SECOND GAPS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THIS DISC BUT NONE AFFECT ANY MUSIC. TRACK 2 "COME ON (THE WORLD IS CRYING FOR FREEDOM)" IS A TOTAL LOSS FROM: 20-1:28. TRACK 5 "WHY DO YOU DO THAT" HAS BAD STATIC FROM 2:20-3:11. DISC TWO: THE LAST FEW SECONDS OF TRACK 5 "RUN SHAKER LIFE - TWENTY MORE MILES" IS RIDDLED WITH TAPE WARPS.

C21 - OCTOBER 11, 1970 THE MOSQUE, RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.SETLIST: "I CAN’T TAKE IT", "WHY’D YOU DO THAT", "SHERLOCK GOES HOLMES" AND "GOIN’ BACK TO GEORGIA". AS NOTED BELOW THE SOUND QUALITY IS AVERAGE+ AT BEST WITH VERY HIGH TAPE HISS.ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH STEEL MILL OPENING FOR HEADLINER THE IKE AND TINA TURNER REVUE. THIS WAS A STRANGE BILLING COMBINATION, A SOUL BAND AND A PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP. SO IT IS PERHAPS NOT SURPRISING THAT LESS THAN HALF THE TICKETS TO THE 3,000-SEAT MOSQUE WERE SOLD. FORMER BACK DOOR CLUB OWNER JOHN RICHARDSON, WHO ORCHESTRATED THE EVENT, HAS STATED THAT HE LOST A FAIR BIT OF MONEY ON THIS SHOW. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A CIRCULATING 29-MINUTE AUDIENCE RECORDING OF ONLY FAIR QUALITY. THIS AUDIO HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ON ANY MAINSTREAM COMMERCIAL BOOT BUT IT IS CIRCULATING VIA PRIVATE CDR SOURCES, USUALLY WITH THE SOURCE-DATE UNIDENTIFIED. GIVEN THAT THEY WERE THE WARM-UP ACT, THIS AUDIO PROBABLY REPRESENTS 60% - 70% OF STEEL MILL’S PERFORMANCE. IT IS LIKELY THAT TWO OR THREE ADDITIONAL SONGS WERE PLAYED BUT ARE MISSING FROM THE CIRCULATING AUDIO. THE AUDIO EVIDENCE CERTAINLY SUPPORTS REPORTS THAT THE VENUE WAS HALF EMPTY. THE CROWD REACTION TO STEEL MILL IS POLITE BUT INDIFFERENT. “WHY’D YOU DO THAT” INCLUDES A CUSTOMIZED REFRAIN MENTIONING WOODLAND FALLS, VA THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN USED ONLY WHEN PLAYING IN RICHMOND. “GOIN’ BACK TO GEORGIA” FEATURES BRUCE AND ROBBIN THOMPSON ALTERNATING THE LEAD VOCAL. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 4 HAS A SILENT GAP FROM 3:18-3:21.

C10 - NOVEMBER 2, 1970 “UNTITLED” UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND. RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. THIS DATE CIRCULATES FAIRLY CONSISTENTLY AS A STEEL MILL SHOW (THOUGH PARTS OF 1/18/71 SOMETIMES CIRCULATE WITH THIS DATE), BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT IS WRONG. THIS TAPES ASSIGNED TO THIS SHOW ARE IN FACT A LATE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND SHOW. SEE MY ENTRY THERE FOR MORE DETAILS. WILL BE REVIEWED UPON REQUEST ONLY.

C13 - NOVEMBER 20, 1970 “UNTITLED” THE CENTER RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: SOUND IS GOOD+. SETLIST: TRAIN RIDE, I GOTTA BE FREE (ROBBIN THOMPSON ON VOCALS), DANCING IN THE STREETS/HONKY TONK WOMAN/ MIDNIGHT RAMBLER (CO-LEAD BRUCE, ROBBIN). THIS RECORDING MAY HAVE A COMPRESSED SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C19 - NOVEMBER 27, 1970 “PUTTING BLACK SABBATH TO SHAME” 1 CDR

SOUND IS A GOOD/GOOD- SOUNDBOARD SOURCE (A BIT MUTED). TRACK 1 "DANCING IN THE STREET" HAS A SILENT GAP FROM 7:51-8:00. TRACK 5 IS A: 17 SECOND BLANK TRACK. TRACK 9 "TRAIN RIDE" HAS A COUPLE OF MINOR TAPE WARPS THROUGHOUT. ONE AT ABOUT 9:00 AND ONE @ 13:07. TWO SHOWS TRIPLE BILL, WITH THE BOTTOM-BILLED STEEL MILL OPENING FOR THE 2ND BILLED CACTUS AND HEADLINER BLACK SABBATH (FRONTED BY A SPOOKED OZZY OSBOURNE, WHO RECEIVED DEATH THREATS BEFORE THE SHOW). THE ABOVE-MENTIONED 7-SONG, SETLIST COMES FROM A VERY RECENTLY SURFACED EXCELLENT AUDIO QUALITY SOUNDBOARD AND REPRESENTS THE COMPLETE 76-MINUTE PERFORMANCE FROM THE EARLY SHOW, WITH NO CONTINUITY BREAKS IN THE AUDIO. THIS IS NOT STEEL MILL AT ITS BEST, BUT IT DOES CONTAIN THE PREVIOUSLY UNCIRCULATING "DO IT NOW". THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPE HAD THE RECORDING DATE ON IT AND, ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS VERIFYING COMMENTARY BY ROBBIN THOMPSON DURING THE PERFORMANCE. ABOUT 8 MINUTES INTO "DANCING" THE GENERATOR POWER FAILS FOR 12 SECONDS, MUCH TO THE FRUSTRATION OF BRUCE WHO COMMENTS "WE MUST BE THE GUINEA PIGS HERE TONIGHT". ACCORDING TO AN ATTENDEE RECOLLECTION EACH OF THE THREE BANDS PLAYED SIMILAR LENGTH SETS. AFTER THE END OF THE EVENING SPRINGSTEEN SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR BACKSTAGE JAMMING WITH CACTUS BASSIST TIM BOGART. THERE IS NO CIRCULATING AUDIO FROM THE LATE SHOW.

THE DISSOLUTION OF STEEL MILL WAS AMICABLE. APPARENTLY BRUCE HAD INFORMED MEMBERS IN DECEMBER, PRIOR TO A CHRISTMAS TRIP TO CALIFORNIA, OF HIS DESIRE TO EXPLORE OTHER MUSICAL DIRECTIONS. SPEAKING OF HIS BRIEF, 5-MONTH (SEPT 70 - JAN 71) STEEL MILL TENURE, VOCALIST ROBBIN THOMPSON HAS COMMENTED: “IT WAS A STRANGE THING. NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHY I WAS IN THE BAND….BUT ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH (HIS TENURE) I KNEW THE BAND, AS IT WAS, WASN’T GOING TO LAST, ESPECIALLY ME.” THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PARTIAL SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A RECENTLY UNEARTHED, VERY GOOD QUALITY SOUNDBOARD RECORDING THAT IS NOW IN LIMITED CIRCULATION. THIS MATERIAL HAS YET TO APPEAR ON ANY MAINSTREAM CD BOOT. THE AUDIO FEATURES CONTINUITY BETWEEN SONGS AND MARKS THE FIRST-EVER APPEARANCE OF ANY SPRINGSTEEN AUDIO FROM THE UPSTAGE. THESE THREE SONGS ARE CULLED FROM EARLY IN THE SET AND MAY POSSIBLY BE THE SHOW’S OPENING THREE NUMBERS. THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME A RENDITION OF “SWEET MELINDA” HAS SURFACED IN NICE SOUND QUALITY. THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW HAS NOT SURFACED. AS NOTED ABOVE THIS RECORDING IS INCOMPLETE. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. MAY BE SOUNDBOARD RECORDING. SMALL STATIC POPS BETWEEN TRACKS INDICATE THAT THIS RECORDING HAS AN MP3 SOURCE. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. THIS EDIT APPEARS TO BE A TAPE STOPPAGE EDIT. TRACK 3 “HE’S GUILTY” CUTS OFF AT 8:39 BUT ITS AFTER THE SONG HAS FINISHED.

C13 - MAY 14, 1971 “DR. ZOOM ROCKS ASBURY PARK” ASBURY PARK, NJ 1 CDR

NOTES: SOUNDBOARD SOURCED BUT VERY DISTORTED AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS EARLY ON IT THEN CLEANS UP TO NORMAL BEFORE THE FIRST TRACK IS OVER. I WOULD QUALIFY THE SOUND AS GOOD+/VERY GOOD- (CONSIDERING ITS VINTAGE). THE DEBUT DR ZOOM SHOW. NOTIONAL ASSIGNED DATE, SHOW COULD BE ANYTIME FROM MAY TO JULY 1971. DISC ONE: SLIGHT EDIT FROM TRACKS 5-6, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS

C1 – MAY 15, 1971 “UNTITLED” NEWARK STATE COLLEGE, UNION, NJ 1 CDR

THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE+. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT RECORDING THAT DOCUMENTS A CRITICAL PHASE IN BRUCE'S STYLISTIC DEVELOPOPMENT. DISC IS CLEAN. THE 2ND (AND FINAL) PERFORMANCE OF THE DR ZOOM & THE SONIC BOOM REVUE FROM THE 1ST (AND LAST?) "ERNIE THE CHICKEN FESTIVAL", AN EXCUSE FOR AN ALL-DAY OUTDOOR PARTY EXTRAVAGANZA FEATURING A HALF DOZEN LOCAL BANDS. THE POSTER INDICATES A RAIN DATE - WE'RE ASSUMING THAT IT WASN'T NEEDED. FORTUNATELY A VERY GOOD QUALITY SOUNDBOARD TAPE OF ALL (OR NEARLY ALL) OF THE SPRINGSTEEN - LED SEGMENTS OF THIS DR ZOOM SHOW HAS BEEN IN CIRCULATION SINCE THE MID 1990'S AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE CD BOOT "THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN STORY, VOL 5 - DR ZOOM & THE SONIC BOOM" (E.ST). AS IS THE CASE WITH ALL THE VOLUMES IN THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN STORY CD BOOT SERIES, THE MUSIC IS WONDERFUL AND SIGNIFICANT - BUT THE CD LINER NOTE INFORMATION IS POORLY RESEARCHED AND FULL OF ERRORS. IN THE CASE OF THIS ZOOM MATERIAL, THEY'VE TAKEN AN OBVIOUS OUTDOOR VENUE TAPE (WITH 0% VOICE AND INSTRUMENT ECHO) AND LINKED IT TO THE SUNSHINE IN - AN INDOOR CONCERT HALL. THE OTHER NOTABLE ERROR ON THE BOOT (NOT AS SERIOUS BUT TELLING NEVERTHELESS) IS THE MISIDENTIFICATION OF THE DYLAN CLASSIC "IT'S TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH..." AS A SONG CALLED "GROUP THERAPY". THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DONE MERELY ON THE STRENGTH OF AN OFFHAND COMMENT BRUCE MAKES AT THE END OF THE SONG.

C10 - AUGUST 7, 1971 “UNTITLED” SUNSHINE INN, ASBURY PARK, NJ 1 CDR

TRACKS 1-5 ARE FROM 8/7. TRACK 6 IS AN UNTITLED JAM FROM 4/24/71. SOUND VARIES FROM GOOD TO AVERAGE-. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BACKGROUND BUZZING THROUGHOUT THIS DISC. TRACK 1 "AIN’T THAT PECULIAR" HAS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. TRACK 2 "YOU SURE CAN DANCE" CLEAN TRACK 3 "DARKNESS, DARKNESS" CLEAN. TRACK 4 "THIS BANDS JUST BOPPIN' THE BLUES" CLEAN. TRACK 5 "I REMEMBER". TRACK 6 IS FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE AND SHOW. THE TRACK ALSO CUTS OFF ABRUPTLY. AT THIS TIMES ALL DATES PRESENTED FOR THIS RECORDING ARE APPROXIMATE.

C14 - SEPTEMBER 3, 1971 “UNTITLED” THE STUDENT PRINCE, ASBURY PARK, NJ 1 CDR

NOTE: THIS IS AN MP3 SOURCE ACCORDING TO EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. NOTES: DATE IS APPROXIMATE ONLY. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUTED, MUDDY SOUND). DISC ONE: BIG TAPE WARP @ 9:25 DURING TRACK 1, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 2 HAS A BIG TAPE WARP @ 9:26, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C12 - SEPTEMBER 4, 1971 “UNTITLED” STUDENT PRINCE, ASBURY PARK, NJ 1 CDR

SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR. INCOMPLETE RECORDING, ONLY DOCUMENTS THE SECOND HALF OF THE PERFORMANCE. DATE IN UNCERTAIN AT BEST.

C10 - SEPTEMBER 5, 1971 THE STUDENT PRINCE ASBURY PARK, NJ 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUDDY SOUND) DISC HAS SMALL POPS BETWEEN TRACKS. TRACK 3 CUTS @ 7:48. SETLIST: BLACK WIDOW SPIDER / SHE'S A WOMAN / WALKING THE DOG

C12 - OCTOBER 23, 1971 "KELLER HALL" 1 CDR KELLER HALL, UNIV. OF RICHMOND, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

TALKING ABOUT MY BABY SOUNDS VERY LIKE A VERY EARLY VERSION OF THE SOLO VERSION OF JEANNIE NEEDS A SHOOTER - WITH DIFFERENT LYRICS AND ARRANGEMENT. DISC ONE: DISC IS CLEAN BUT HAS MUDDY SOUND. CDR ALSO HAS FILLER FOR TWO SONGS. T5 IS INDEXED , BUT IT IS MERELY AN ERROR IN THE INDEXING BETWEEN HOOCHIE KOOCHIE MAN AND THE LAST SONG OF 10/23/71 DON’T YOU WANNA BE AN OUTLAW. THE FILLER TRACKS ARE INTERESTING , THE FIRST BEING " YOU KNOW MY LOVE HAS NEVER DIED", BRUCE INTRODUCES SOUTHSIDE ON THIS AND SOUTHSIDE PLAYS THE BLUES HARP. I COULDN’T FIND IN BRUCEBASE WHERE SOUTHSIDE PLAYS WITH BRUCE ON THIS SONG AND I ALSO HEARD SOMEONE ON THE TAPE MENTION THAT IT IS AN OTIS RUSH SONG. THE LAST FILLER SONG IS ONE I CAN'T IDENTIFY. IT HAS A BIT OF HARMONICA , SOME GUITAR JAMS...LYRICS THAT SAY "TELL ME NOW, BEFORE I GO" "LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE OUT OF SEASON

OCTOBER 30, 1971 VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND, VA

MC’S INTRODUCTION / GOT MY MOJO WORKING (6:14) / LIVIN’ ROCK AND ROLL (4:06) / TALKIN’ ABOUT MY BABY (8:26) / HOOCHIE COOTCHIE MAN (8:29) / DON’T YOU WANT TO BE AN OUTLAW (8:07) ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND OPENING FOR HEADLINER CACTUS. THE BSB LINEUP FOR THIS SHOW IS THE CORE 5-PIECE BAND, PLUS THE VOCAL DUO OF DELORES HOLMES AND FILL-IN MEMBER FRANCINE DANIELS (REPLACING BARBARA DINKINS, WHO RESIGNED THE PREVIOUS WEEK). THE LADIES ARE HEARD ON THE THREE SPRINGSTEEN COMPOSITIONS BUT NOT THE TWO COVER SONGS. AS THE UNDERCARD, SPRINGSTEEN’S SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO AROUND 70 MINUTES. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM AN AUDIENCE RECORDING OF FAIR QUALITY THAT STARTED CIRCULATING IN THE EARLY 80’S AND THEN WIDELY PROPAGATED AFTER IT WAS BOOTED ONTO VINYL IN 1986, COURTESY OF THE LP “BRUCE 1971” (GOOD TASTE RECORDS). BOTH THE EARLY CIRCULATING TAPE SPECIMENS AND THE 1986 LP CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THE SOURCE VENUE FOR THE AUDIO AS THE VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY GYM. BUT BECAUSE NO 1971 VCU GIG HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED BY ANY 1980’S OR 1990’S CONCERT HISTORY SOURCES, SOME PEOPLE BEGAN LINKING THIS AUDIO TO OTHER SHOWS. THIS 40 MINUTES OF AUDIO (WHICH IS NOT THE COMPLETE PERFORMANCE) NOW CIRCULATES VIA HOMEMADE CDR, SOMETIMES WITH MATERIAL FROM OTHER SHOWS ADDED. BOTH “LIVIN’ ROCK AND ROLL” AND “TALKING ABOUT MY BABY” ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE VIA ANY OTHER AUDIO SOURCE. BRUCE WOULD LATER UTILIZED THE MELODY FROM “TALKIN’ ABOUT MY BABY” FOR HIS VASTLY SUPERIOR 1972 COMPOSITION “JANEY NEEDS A SHOOTER”.

C22 - NOVEMBER 13, 1971 “ TO MY MAN TEX” STUDENT PRINCE, ASBURY PARK, NJ

ONE SHOW, WITH THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND THE SOLE ACT ON THE BILL. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PARTIAL SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A LONG-CIRCULATING, MUDDY SOUNDBOARD RECORDING. COMMENTS MADE BY BRUCE REGARDING VIDEO FOOTAGE BEING SHOT DURING THE SHOW POSITIVELY LINK THIS AUDIO TO THE STUDENT PRINCE. PRIOR TO BEGINNING “I REMEMBER” SPRINGSTEEN CAN BE HEARD INFORMING THE AUDIENCE THAT A GENTLEMAN NAMED MARK ROMANSKI IS PRESENT AND FILMING. ROMANSKI, A FRIEND OF STEVE VAN ZANDT, WAS FILMING AS PART OF A COURSE PROJECT HE WAS TAKING AT UNIVERSITY. SADLY ALL THE FILM FOOTAGE WAS DESTROYED IN THE EARLY 1970’S. IT IS BELIEVED THIS FILMING WAS UNDERTAKEN AT ONE OF THE NOVEMBER 1971 SHOWS, ALTHOUGH THE SPECIFIC DATE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE FIRST FIVE SONGS EXHIBIT CONTINUITY AND ARE CLEARLY PART OF THE SAME SET. “WHEN YOU DANCE” IS FROM THIS SHOW BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE FINAL SONG OF EVENING. SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY IS A GUEST AND HANDLES THE LEAD VOCAL ON “AIN’T THAT PECULIAR”. SOUTHSIDE’S HARP PLAYING CAN BE HEARD ON ALL THE SONGS EXCEPT FOR “WHEN YOU DANCE”. “I REMEMBER” IS CUT PREMATURELY AT ABOUT 8:45 IN. SOUND IS GOOD FOR THE PERIOD. IT MAY EVEN BE SOUNDBOARD SOURCED. THIS SHOW REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE KICK-ASS HAMMOND B3 SKILLS OF DANNY FEDERICI. TRACK 4, “THE BAND'S JUST BOPPIN' THE BLUES” IS DEDICATED “TO MY MAN TEX”. TRACK 5 “I REMEMBER” CUTS OFF AS NOTED ABOVE. TRACK 6 FADES IN DURING A BLAZING ORGAN SOLO.

C21 - DECEMBER 3, 1971 “UNTITLED” THE STUDENT PRINCE 1CDR

ONE SHOW WITH THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND THE LONE ACT ON THE BILL. A TYPICAL PERFORMANCE AT THE STUDENT PRINCE CONSISTED OF THREE OR FOUR 40-MINUTE SETS WITH HEALTHY BREAKS IN BETWEEN. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PARTIAL SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A CIRCULATING 40-MINUTE AUDIENCE RECORDING OF ONLY FAIR QUALITY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED ON ANY MAINSTREAM BOOT. THIS AUDIO CIRCULATES VIA CUSTOM CDR SOURCES, TYPICALLY ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE AUDIO FROM THE 17/12/71 RUTGERS GIG. THE AUDIO EVIDENCE SUGGESTS A FAIRLY EMPTY PREMISES FOR THIS NIGHT’S SHOW. WHILE THIS IS CLEARLY A LATE PERIOD BSB CLUB PERFORMANCE, THE PRECISE DATE AND VENUE IS NOT VERIFIED. THE STUDENT PRINCE IS THE MOST LIKELY LOCATION, HOWEVER IT IS POSSIBLE THIS AUDIO IS FROM ONE OF THE JAN 1972 BSB SHOWS AT CAPTAIN’S GARTER OR THE 15/04/72 RUTGERS SHOW. FROM AN HISTORICAL STANDPOINT THE KEY TRACKS ARE “SHE’S LEAVING” (LATER RECORDED AS A SOLO DEMO – HERE IT’S PERFORMED WITH THE BAND) AND THE EXCELLENT “SURE CAN FEEL THE PAIN”. “SWEET MISS SALLY” IS SOMETIMES TITLED “MISTRESS ANNIE” BY SOME SOURCES. SOUND IS GOOD (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE VINTAGE). DISC ONE: TRACK 2 HAS A STRANGE WARBLING SOUND THROUGHOUT IN THE BACKGROUND. THIS RECORDING DOES NOT DOCUMENT THE FULL SET, SEE THE NOTES ABOVE. TRACK 4 HAS THE SAME BACKGROUND NOISES AND TRACK 2.

C1 - DECEMBER 17, 1971 "RUTGERS UNIVERSITY" 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS IS A COPY OF THE GOLDEN STARS RELEASE "DOWN THE ROAD APIECE" PERFORMING AS THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND. VENUE: THE LEDGE BAR, RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY. DISC IS CLEAN, HOWEVER, POOR, MUFFLED SOUND MAKES THIS SHOW A DIFFICULT LISTEN. DESPITE THAT THIS SHOW DOCUMENTS AN IMPORTANT PERIOD IN THE PROGRESS OF BRUCE’S MUSIC AND HIS BAND.

5 SHOWS

C19 – JANUARY 21-29, 1972 “UNTITLED” THE CAPTAIN'S GARTER, NEPTUNE, NJ 1 CDR

NOTES: BRUCE GUESTS WITH THE SUNDANCE BLUES BAND. SOUND IS GOOD. TENDS TO DISTORT MODERATELY IN THE BASS SPECTRUM. SETLIST: "BOTTLE OF RED WINE", "YOU KNOW MY LOVE", "WHY'S IT SO HARD?", "CONFESSING THE BLUES", INSTRUMENTAL (“SWEET MISS SALLY”?). TRACK 5 FADES OUT @ 9:31. SEE BELOW FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. THE ABOVE MENTIONED SETLIST IS TAKEN FROM A FAIRLY RECENTLY UNEARTHED AUDIENCE RECORDING OF VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT QUALITY THAT IS CLOSE TO SOUNDBOARD STANDARD AND MAKES FOR ENJOYABLE LISTENING. ALTHOUGH THE AUDIO HAS NOW BEEN POSITIVELY LINKED TO THE ABOVE NOTED DATES, IT IS NOT YET ESTABLISHED FROM WHICH OF THE NIGHTS IT EMANATES. THERE DOESN’T SOUND AS IF THERE ARE MORE THAN A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE – CONSISTENT WITH THE GROUP BEING THE EARLY EVENING OPENER FOR THIS RESIDENCY. VINI LOPEZ HANDLES THE LEAD VOCAL ON ERIC CLAPTON’S “BOTTLE OF RED WINE”. VAN ZANDT PROVIDES THE GREG ALLMAN-ISH VOCAL ON WILLIE DIXON’S COMPOSITION “YOU KNOW MY LOVE” (MENTIONED AS INSPIRED BY OTIS RUSH’S VERSION). A HIGHLIGHT IS THE MESMERIZING “WHY’S IT SO HARD?”, AGAIN SUNG BY VAN ZANDT. THIS SONG HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN CREDITED TO SPRINGSTEEN, HOWEVER BETWEEN-SONG BANTER AMONG THE BAND SEEMS TO INDICATE IT’S A VAN ZANDT COMPOSITION. DAVID SANCIOUS’ ORGAN PLAYING DURING THE SONG IS NOTHING SHORT OF SPELLBINDING. SPRINGSTEEN PROVIDES THE LEAD ON WALTER BROWN’S IMMORTAL “CONFESSIN’ THE BLUES’, AS WELL AS JOHN LEE HOOKER’S BOOGIE ROMP “SWEET MISS SALLY”. BRUCE IS NOT NOTICEABLY PRESENT ONSTAGE EXCEPT DURING “BOTTLE OF RED WINE” AND THE TWO SONGS HE IS SINGING LEAD.

C10 - FEBRUARY 4, 1972 “UNTITLED” THE BACKDOOR CLUB RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. ALL TRACKS SEEM TO BE FROM A SOUNDBOARD SOURCE. DOWN THE ROAD APIECE (6.08)/ I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD (5.11)/ DOWN TO MEXICO (5.19)/ I REMEMBER (15.04) FEATURES SOME GREAT HAMMOND B-3 WORK FROM THE PHANTOM. I JUST CAN'T CHANGE (5.41) I BELIEVE THESE 5 SONGS TO BE SIMPLY A COMPILATION OF PERFORMANCES DATING TO FEBRUARY 1972. THE STYLE OF THE PERFORMANCES AND THE LONG GAPS BETWEEN TRACKS WOULD TEND TO SUPPORT THIS. VERY FUN, CLEAN DISC!

C11 - FEBRUARY 12, 1972 “UNTITLED” 1 CDR

NOTE: 2 TRACKS ONLY. INCOMPLETE? DATE IS VERY UNCERTAIN. THIS IS AN MP3 SOURCED RECORDING PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C22 - MARCH 17, 1972 RICHMOND ARENA, RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

ONE SHOW, QUADRUPLE BILL, WITH THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND OPENING THE EVENING’S FESTIVITIES FOR BANG, THE MIKE QUATRO JAM BAND AND MITCH RYDER & DETROIT. THIS WAS A FESTIVAL-STYLED SHOW, WITH EACH ACT ALLOCATED EQUAL 80 – 90 MINUTE TIME SLOTS. ALTHOUGH MITCH RYDER WAS TOP-BILLED IT WAS ELECTRONIC SPACE MUSIC FAVORITE MIKE QUATRO (70’S ROCKER SUZI QUATRO’S BROTHER) WHO PERFORMED LAST. IN AN ATTEMPT TO MINIMIZE THE 6,500-SEAT RICHMOND ARENA’S NOTORIOUS ECHO PROBLEMS THE SHOW’S PROMOTER MADE CHANGES TO THE VENUE’S INTERIOR FOR THIS EVENT. THE REVAMPED 4,500-SEAT LAYOUT WAS INTENDED TO ATTRACT AUDIOPHILES, HOWEVER TICKET SALES WERE WEAK. AN ARTICLE IN THE FOLLOWING DAY’S PAPER NOTED A TURNOUT OF NOT MUCH MORE THAN 1,000. A REVIEW OF THE SHOW IN THE PAPER BRIEFLY MENTIONS SPRINGSTEEN AND NOTES THE WIDE VARIETY OF STYLES PERFORMED IN HIS SET AS COMPARED TO THE STEEL MILL ERA. THE AUDIO EVIDENCE CERTAINLY CONFIRMS THIS ASSESSMENT.THE ABOVE-MENTIONED 8-SONG SETLIST (IN ITS PROBABLE PERFORMING SEQUENCE) IS CULLED FROM 75 MINUTES OF SOUNDBOARD AUDIO OF REASONABLE (BUT NOT GREAT) QUALITY. THIS MAY NOT BE THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE BUT IT IS CERTAINLY MOST OF IT. THIS AUDIO HAS BEEN IN CIRCULATION SINCE THE EARLY 1980’S, ALTHOUGH (EXCEPTING ONE TRACK) IT HAS NEVER APPEARED ON ANY MAINSTREAM BOOTLEG. FOR MANY YEARS THIS AUDIO WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A STEEL MILL GIG IN RICHMOND IN NOVEMBER 1970. HOWEVER THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT STEEL MILL, AS ROBBIN THOMPSON IS NOT PRESENT, BOTH SPRINGSTEEN AND VAN ZANDT ARE SHARING LEAD-RHYTHM GUITAR DUTIES, DAVID SANCIOUS IS ON KEYBOARDS AND, LASTLY, ONE OF THE COVERS PLAYED (“MOUNTAIN JAM”) WAS NOT EVEN RELEASED UNTIL JANUARY 1972.SPRINGSTEEN PLAYS PIANO ON BOTH “CHEROKEE QUEEN” AND “LOOK TOWARD THE LAND” (WITH SANCIOUS HANDLING THE ORGAN). THIS PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMERCIAL-SOUNDING “CHEROKEE QUEEN” (THE ONLY LIVE RENDITION KNOWN) WAS PRESSED ON ACETATE AS A PUBLISHING DEMO LATER IN 1972. “LOOK TOWARD THE LAND” IS A MORE POLISHED PERFORMANCE THAN OTHER KNOWN RENDITIONS FROM 1971. DURING “NOT FADE AWAY-BO DIDDLEY” A BRIEF SNATCH OF THE ALLMAN BROTHERS “YES THERE IS A MOUNTAIN” SEGMENT FROM “MOUNTAIN JAM” IS PERFORMED. WE ARE THEN TREATED TO AN INSPIRING “MOUNTAIN JAM – WHEN YOU DANCE”. UNFORTUNATELY BOTH THE OPENING FEW MINUTES AND CLOSING COUPLE OF MINUTES OF THIS PERFORMANCE ARE CUT AND NOT CIRCULATING COMPLETE. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A SMALL CROWD, IT’S CLEAR THAT SOME HARDCORE SPRINGSTEEN FANATICS ARE PRESENT AT THIS SHOW. FOR THE FIRST ENCORE VOICES CAN BE HEARD NEAR THE FRONT OF THE STAGE SCREAMING FOR “RESURRECTION” (A SONG BRUCE STOPPED PLAYING WHEN STEEL MILL FOLDED). BRUCE DOESN’T OBLIGE, BUT INSTEAD DELIVERS “GOIN’ BACK TO GEORGIA” – ITSELF RARELY PLAYED BY THE BSB LINEUP. BRUCE PERFORMS A UNIQUE CONDENSED ARRANGEMENT, WITHOUT ANY BAND HARMONY VOCALS. SPRINGSTEEN CLOSES THE SHOW WITH DYLAN’S “BABY BLUE”, IN A VERY SIMILAR ARRANGEMENT OF THE SONG TO THAT PERFORMED AT RICHMOND’S BACK DOOR CLUB A FEW WEEKS EARLIER. SOUND VARIES FROM AN AVERAGE+ TO AVERAGE-. TAPE STOPPAGE EDITS OCCUR BETWEEN ALL TRACKS, THIS DOES NOT AFFECT ANY MUSIC. TRACK 3 “LOOK TOWARDS THE LAND” HAS A SILENT GAP FROM 5:42-5:48. TRACK 5 “MOUNTAIN JAM – WHEN YOU DANCE” IS CUT PER THE SHOW NOTES ABOVE.

C11 - LATE JANUARY 1973 “LIVE AT MAX’S KANSAS CITY” MAX'S KANSAS CITY NEW YORK CITY, NY 1 CDR

MARY QUEEN OF ARKANSAS, BISHOP DANCE, WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY, SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT, DOES THIS BUS STOP?, THUNDERCRACK, SAGA OF THE ARCHITECT ANGEL, SONG FOR ORPHANS, SUPERB QUALITY - THE DATE GIVEN ON THE CDR RELEASE OF 7/3/73 HOWEVER IS DEFINITELY SUSPECT. SINCE THE GREETINGS ALBUM WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED BY THE 7/3/73 DATE IT IS STRANGE THAT BRUCE APPARENTLY DID NOT PLAY THE SINGLE (BLINDED BY THE LIGHT) OR LOST IN THE FLOOD AS HE TENDED TO DO. THE VERSIONS OF THE SONGS MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLE THOSE PLAYED IN 1972 AND THE VERSION OF ARCHITECT ANGEL IS NOT AS POLISHED AS THE 1972 ACETATE WHICH PROBABLY MEANS THAT THIS TAPE DATES FROM EITHER LATE '72 OR EARLY '73. THERE IS A REFERENCE BY BRUCE TO CHICAGO WHICH WAS PLAYED EARLY '73 SO THIS IS PROBABLY FROM THE MAX'S GIGS OF LATE JAN - EARLY FEB. 1973 WHICH DOES CALL INTO QUESTION JUST WHEN ALL THE LAUREL CANYON ACETATES WERE CUT. SONG FOR ORPHANS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS THE VERSION PREVIOUSLY ASCRIBED TO MAX'S ON 30/8/72 AND THE TIMINGS TO BOTH CIRCUS STORY AND BISHOP DANCE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT TAPE. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MASTER REEL OF 30/8/72, BUT THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE REFERENCE TO CHICAGO. DISC IS CLEAN EXCEPT FOR TRACK 8 "SONG FOR ORPHANS" WHICH CUTS OFF @ 4:10. THE LAST LYRIC HEARD IS "WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN SONGS, THEY RUN THE..." SEE THE NEARLY COMPLETE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN VERSION 1.0 FOR ALL LYRICS. THIS IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCED RECORDING PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C18 - FEBRUARY 14, 1973 “UNTITLED” VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

ONE SHOW, WITH BRUCE AND THE BOYS OPENING FOR HEADLINER, DAN HICKS & HIS HOT LICKS - THE ONLY TIME SPRINGSTEEN AND HICKS SHARED A BILLING TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL POSTER (BELOW) SHOWS THE VENUE AS THE "NEW VCU GYM", AN ARTICLE IN VCU'S STUDENT NEWSPAPER INDICATES THE GIG WAS SHIFTED OFF-CAMPUS TO THE LARGER "MOSQUE" VENUE A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT IN ORDER TO MEET STRONG TICKET DEMAND. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST REPRESENTS SPRINGSTEEN'S COMPLETE 45-MINUTE PERFORMANCE AS THE EVENING'S UNDERCARD. A RECENTLY CIRCULATING, BUT POOR QUALITY, AUDIENCE TAPE INCLUDES THE ENTIRE SPRINGSTEEN SHOW. THE SUBTLE TAPE EDIT HEARD AFTER "THUNDERCRACK" (THE END OF THE MAIN SET) AND BEFORE "ROSALITA" (THE ENCORE) MERELY ELIMINATES SEVERAL MINUTES OF CHEERING AS THE AUDIENCE COAXES BRUCE AND THE BAND BACK FOR A FINAL SONG. FOLLOWING "ROSALITA" THE MC CAN CLEARLY BE HEARD ANNOUNCING THAT DAN HICKS & HIS HOT LICKS WILL FOLLOW. FROM A HISTORICAL STANDPOINT THE SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE HERE IS "ROSALITA". IT'S BOTH THE EARLIEST KNOWN LIVE PERFORMANCE AND THE ONLY CIRCULATING RENDITION BY THE PRE-DAVID SANCIOUS LINEUP OF THE BAND. ALTHOUGH MARRED BY WEAK SOUND QUALITY, THIS IS A FUNNY, UNIQUE ARRANGEMENT. NOT ONLY DOES IT FEATURE A NEAR-COMPLETE RENDITION OF THE BEACH BOYS "FUN FUN FUN" SANDWICHED IN THE MIDDLE, BUT IT ALSO INCORPORATES A COSMIC STORY-RAP-FANTASY THAT FINDS AN 8 YEAR-OLD SPRINGSTEEN LOCKED IN AN ALABAMA JAIL WITH DENNIS WILSON, JAMES BROWN AND WILSON PICKETT. SOUND IS POOR. DISC NOTES: SETLIST: MARY, QUEEN OR ARKANSAS (ACOUSTIC), FOR YOU (FULL BAND),DOES THIS BUS STOP (FULL BAND), THUNDERCRACK (FULL BAND), ROSALITA W/ FUN, FUN, FUN (FULL BAND). DISC IS CLEAN. THIS RECORDING IS AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C15 - MAY 1, 1973 “UNTITLED” AHMANSON THEATRE, LA 1 CDR

SOUND IS GOOD+. THIS RECORDING DOCUMENTS "CIRCUS SONG" ONLY. OFTEN INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED AS A "CBS SALES CONVENTION" SHOW (SEE LISTING ON 27/7/73 FOR THE ACTUAL CBS CONVENTION) - THIS GIG AT THE AHMANSON WAS IN FACT A NORMAL PUBLIC PAID ADMISSION EVENT. THE FORMAT WAS UNUSUAL HOWEVER. ORGANIZED AND BILLED BY CBS AS "A WEEK TO REMEMBER" - 7 CONSECUTIVE NIGHTLY SHOWS, EACH SHOW FEATURING 3 DIFFERENT CBS ARTISTS. BRUCE AND THE BAND FLY TO L.A. ON APRIL 30TH AND STAY AT THE LA HILTON. THEY FLY BACK EAST ON MAY 3RD. SPRINGSTEEN PERFORMS AT THE 3RD SHOW, ON MAY 1ST. THEY ARE THE OPENING ACT OF THE EVENING AND ARE FOLLOWED BY DR HOOK & THE MEDICINE SHOW AND THEN HEADLINERS, NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE. THE 2000 SEAT VENUE IS A SELLOUT DUE TO THE TWO OTHER ACTS - BRUCE IS VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN TO THE LA AUDIENCE. HIS PERFORMANCE RECEIVES MIXED RESPONSE AT BEST FROM A CROWD COMING TO SEE COUNTRY ROCK STALWARTS. BRUCE PLAYS PIANO ON "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" "TOKYO" IS PRECEDED BY THE LONG "DUCKY SLATERY GAS STATION" MONOLOGUE. AT THE CONCLUSION OF "THUNDERCRACK" A GIANT ASBURY PARK TURNPIKE SIGN DESCENDS FROM THE BACK OF THE STAGE - THE ONLY TIME THIS PROP WAS EVER UTILIZED. "TWIST AND SHOUT" IS PERFORMED AS AN ENCORE. ALL 7 SHOWS IN THE AHMANSON SERIES WERE RECORDED BY CBS AND PROFESSIONALLY FILMED BY ARNOLD LEVINE PRODUCTIONS ON BEHALF OF CBS, WHOSE INTENT WAS TO SHOW THE PERFORMANCES AT THE CBS SALES CONVENTION IN JULY. THIS DID INDEED HAPPEN, BRUCE'S ENTIRE PERFORMANCE WAS SHOWN SEVERAL TIMES AT THE CONVENTION - BUT HAS NEVER BEEN SHOWN ANYWHERE SINCE. THE ENTIRE VIDEO DEFINITELY SURVIVES TO THIS DAY - IN CBS'S ARCHIVES. IT HAS STILL YET TO LEAK OUT TO COLLECTORS. VERY BRIEF FILM SNIPPETS OF "CIRCUS SONG" AND "THUNDERCRACK" WERE USED BY CBS AS PART OF A PROMO ONLY VIDEO CLIP PUT TOGETHER BY THE COMPANY IN LATE 1973 TO PROMOTE THE NEWLY RELEASED "WILD & INNOCENT" LP. THIS PROMO SPOT VIDEO CIRCULATES AMONG COLLECTORS (AND INDEED WAS SHOWN IN THE VH1 ROCKUMENTARY). THE BRIEF VIDEO SNIPPET OF BRUCE PERFORMING "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" ON PIANO IN THE JOHN HAMMOND DOCUMENTARY IS PROBABLY FROM THIS SHOW AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THAT IS NOT 100% CERTAIN AT THIS STAGE. THE RECORDING OF "CIRCUS SONG" FROM THIS SHOW IS RELEASED BY CBS ON JULY 7, 1973 ON THE PROMOTION-ONLY 7" CBS PLAYBACK EP. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C21 – MAY 31, 1973 “UNTITLED” ALPHA STUDIOS AND RICHMOND COLISEUM RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

SOUND IS A MODERATELY ECHOEY GOOD. TRACKS 1-7 ARE THE COMPLETE REMOTE STUDIO BROADCAST AS MENTIONED BELOW. TRACKS 8-11 ARE 4 (COMPLETE?) OF THE SONGS FROM THE PERFORMANCE LATER THAT EVENING FROM THE RICHMOND COLISEUM WHERE BRUCE AND THE BOYS OPENED FOR CHICAGO.

RECORDING STUDIO BROADCAST NOTES:

BROADCAST BY RICHMOND'S WGOE-FM LIVE VIA REMOTE HOOK-UP FROM AN ACTUAL RECORDING STUDIO - THE ONLY TIME SPRINGSTEEN EVER DID IT THIS WAY (ALL OTHER RADIO SHOWS WERE MERELY RECORDED INSIDE THE DJ BROADCAST ROOM). WGOE PAID FOR THE STUDIO TIME. BESIDES THE WGOE DJ, THE SMALL AUDIENCE HEARD INSIDE THE STUDIO WITH THE BAND INCLUDES MIKE APPEL, JIM CRETECOS AND DAVID SANCIOUS! AFTER THE SHOW MIKE APPEL TOOK POSSESSION OF THE MASTER TAPE. THE RECORDING OF "YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME" FROM THIS SHOW WAS ONE OF THE 27 SONGS CUT FROM THE OFFICIAL TRACKS BOX SET WHEN IT WAS CULLED FROM A 6CD SET DOWN TO A 4CD SET. FORTUNATELY A BEAUTIFUL TRANSFER OF THIS SONG OFF THE MASTER TAPE HAS SINCE LEAKED OUT AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE CD BOOT "DEEP DOWN IN THE VAULTS". THE REMAINDER OF THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE BUT IN SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER (BUT STILL ENJOYABLE) SOUND QUALITY.

CONCERT NOTES:

SOUND IS AVERAGE+ (MODERATELY ECHOEY AND MUDDY). BIG TAPE STOPPAGE EDIT FROM TRACKS 10-11, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 11 CUTS OFF AT 10:29 DURING THE BAND INTRODUCTIONS. ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH BRUCE AND THE BOYS OPENING FOR HEADLINERS CHICAGO. THE 2ND OF 12 CONSECUTIVE SHOWS OPENING FOR CHICAGO. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED 4-SONG, 40-MINUTE SETLIST MOST LIKELY REPRESENTS BRUCE'S COMPLETE SHOW, BEARING IN MIND THESE ARE FOUR OF BRUCE'S LENGTHIER SONGS FROM THIS PERIOD AND THE STRICT TIME LIMIT BRUCE WAS UNDER FOR THE CHICAGO TOUR SHOWS. THIS PERFORMANCE IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE VIA A POOR QUALITY AUDIENCE RECORDING OF 35 MINUTES DURATION. FROM AN HISTORICAL STANDPOINT THE MOST INTERESTING TRACK HERE IS "SECRET TO THE BLUES" - ONE OF ONLY TWO CIRCULATING AUDIO PERFORMANCES, AND THE BETTER OF THE TWO.

C12 - MAY 31, 1973 “UNTITLED” ALPHA STUDIOS AND RICHMOND COLISEUM RICHMOND, VA 1 CDR

SOUND IS GOOD. THIS RECORDING MAY HAVE BEEN DUBBED FROM VINYL. PERFORMANCE WAS BROADCAST LIVE FROM ALPHA STUDIOS IN RICHMOND PRIOR TO PERFORMING THAT NIGHT AT THE RICHMOND COLISEUM WHERE THEY OPENED FOR CHICAGO. DISC IS CLEAN. TRACK 5 IS A VERY EARLY "NYC SERENADE" THEN SIMPLY CALLED "NEW YORK SONG" IT FEATURES BRUCE SOLO ON THE PIANO. IT APPEARS THAT TRACKS 1-5 WERE PERFORMED AT THE COLISEUM ITSELF AND TRACK 6 IS AT THE ALPHA STUDIOS BECAUSE BRUCE MENTIONS THAT THEY COULD ONLY PLAY ONE MORE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO GET TO THE COLISEUM.

C11 - JUNE 2, 1973 “UNTITLED” WHFS STUDIOS, BETHESDA, MD 1 CDR

C21 – JUNE 2, 1973 “UNTITLED” RADIO STATION WHFS-FM, BETHESDA, MD 1 CDR

SOUND IS GOOD+. BRUCE'S SECOND RADIO STATION FORAY. THE SETLIST IS COMPLETE, SEE THE BRUCEBASE FOR DETAILS. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TAPED OFF THE RADIO AND IS IN GOOD (BUT NOT BRILLIANT) QUALITY. TRACK 1 IS A 5:17 INTERVIEW WITH THE WHFS JOCK. THERE ARE EDITS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS WHICH IS PROBABLY THE RESULT OF THE RADIO STATION COMMERCIALS BEING EDITED OUT BY OTHERS.

C10 - JUNE 13, 1973 “UNTITLED” BROOM COUNTY MEMORIAL ARENA. BINGHAMPTON, NY 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. THIS DISC IS ONLY 18 MINUTES IN LENGTH AND IS NOT A COMPLETE SHOW. PHANTOMS (T1) IS A VERY EARLY ZERO & BLIND TERRY WITH DIFFERENT LYRICS (ALSO KNOWN AS "OVER THE HILLS OF ST CROIX") AND SECRET TO THE BLUES (T2) IS A VERSION OF JUST BOPPIN' THE BLUES FROM STEEL MILL DAYS. ONLY KNOWN VERSION OF TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT SHOW. THE TAPE APPEARS TO RUN FAST. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE, SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT AND DOES THIS STOP HAVE BEEN OMITTED. THESE TWO SONGS OPENED THE SHOW. T2 HAS A COUPLE OF GOOFS FROM 6:00-END OF TRACKS. THERE ARE BAD EDITS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS, HOWEVER, NO MUSIC AS AFFECTED BY THESE EDITS. ALSO OMITTED IS THUNDERCRACK WHICH CLOSED THE SET.

C4 - NOVEMBER 11 (17?), 1973 “ELECTRIC SURGES FREE” ROXY THEATRE, MANAYUNK, PA 2CDR’S

SOUND IS GOOD (FOR ITS VINTAGE). DISC ONE: TRACK 3 "DOES THIS BUS STOP" HAS SOME INTERFERENCE FROM 2:59-3:05. TRACK 4 "E STREET SHUFFLE" IS THE FAST VERSION WITH ROADIE AL TELLONE PLAYING BARITONE SAX. TRACK 4 HAS A TAPE WARP @ 4:34, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

WALKING THE DOG / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / NEW YORK CITY SERENADE / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND ST / KITTY’S BACK / THUNDERCRACK / 634-5789 (SOULSVILLE, USA)

ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH SPRINGSTEEN OPENING FOR BRITISH BLUES GODFATHER JOHN MAYALL. THIS WAS A 2-NIGHT BOOKING FOR HEADLINER MAYALL, WITH SPRINGSTEEN ON THE UNDERCARD THE FIRST NIGHT AND MARIA MULDAUR ON THE BILL THE FOLLOWING NIGHT. INTERESTINGLY 30% OF THE SEATS FOR THE SPRINGSTEEN SHOW REMAINED UNSOLD BUT THE SHOW WITH BOSTON-BASED MULDAUR WAS A QUICK SELLOUT. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST IS CULLED FROM A 70-MINUTE AUDIENCE RECORDING OF THE SHOW THAT HAS ONLY RECENTLY FILTERED INTO COLLECTING CIRCLES AND IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANY MAINSTREAM BOOT. THE SOUND IS VERY MUDDY AND THE OVERALL QUALITY IS ONLY FAIR. FORTUNATELY THE AUDIO HAS CONTINUITY AND, AT 70 MINUTES, IS LIKELY TO REPRESENT THE BRUCE’S COMPLETE PERFORMANCE AS THE OPENING ACT.

C10 - DECEMBER 6, 1973 “PLAY THE TUBA AND RUN” CHILDE HAROLD WASHINGTON, D.C. 1 CDR

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. FM BROADCAST WGTB - FIRST KNOWN VERSIONS OF LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW AND KITTY’S BACK SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- (RECORDING HAS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT ALSO SOMEWHAT OF A MUDDY MIX, HIGH TAPE HISS IS ALSO A FACTOR) THE DISC JOCKEY WHO WAS "HOSTING" THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE BREAKS IN SEVERAL TIMES TO ANNOUNCE THE CALL LETTERS OF THE STATION. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "WALKING THE DOG" HAS BAD STATIC INTERFERENCE FROM 5:08-6:22. TRACK 1 HAS AN EDIT @ 9:17 PREFACED BY ANOTHER BURST OF BAD STATIC INTERFERENCE. TRACK 1 SKIPS @ 11:48, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 2 "FOR YOU" IS THE SOLO VERSION WITH BRUCE ON THE PIANO. TRACK 2 HAS A GOOF @ 6:35. TRACK 3 "E STREET SHUFFLE" IS THE RARE ALBUM VERSION. THERE ARE EXTRAS HORNS BEING PLAYED BY SOMEONE...WHO? IS IT AL THE ROADIE AGAIN? TRACK 3 HAS AN EDIT @ 5:26, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

NOTE: OVERALL POOR SOUND BUT A LEGENDARY SHOW, A MUST HAVE. ONLY KNOWN SOURCE OF RING OF FIRE AND 634-5789 ALTHOUGH THEY WERE PLAYED AT OTHER SHOWS. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUDDY WITH VERY HIGH TAPE HISS) IF THIS SHOW DID NOT CONTAIN TWO SONGS ONLY EVER CAPTURED ON TAPE LIVE ONCE IT WOULD BE CLASSIFIED POOR IN NATURE. BETWEEN SONG CONVERSATIONS OF THE TAPER AND THEIR TABLE MATES ARE VERY AUDIBLE AT TIMES. AT THIS TIME, THE E STREET BAND STILL FEATURES DAVID SANCIOUS ON PIANO AND VINI "MAD DOG" LOPEZ ON DRUMS. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "SPIRIT..." FADES IN JUST A LITTLE LATE. TRACK 2 HAS AN EDIT @ :15, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, SLIGHT CUT AT START OF TRACK 3. DISC TWO: TRACK 2 SKIPS @ 1:20.

C15 - JANUARY 25, 1974 “UNTITLED” THE MOSQUE - RICHMOND, VA.

SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR. INCOMPLETE SHOW. ALL TRACKS HAVE EDITS BETWEEN THEM. THIS RECORDING ONLY DOCUMENTS APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE PERFORMANCE. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" CUTS IN AT "...CRAZY JANEY AND THE MISSION MAN WERE BACK IN THE ALLEY...". TRACK 1 HAS BIG TAPE WARP @ 3:12 A FEW LINES OF LYRIC ARE LOST. TRACK 5 "KITTY’S BACK" HAS A MASSIVE EDIT @ 2:25 FROM "...BLEEKER STREET..." UNTIL NEAR THE END OF THE INSTRUMENTAL SOLOS. TRACK 6 "FOR YOU" IS THE SLOW VERSION FEATURING BRUCE AT THE PIANO. TRACK 8 "TWIST AND SHOUT" CUTS OFF @ 2:42. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C18 - JANUARY 29, 1974 “SO, WHERE ARE THE CBS EXEC’S MIKE?” 2 CDR’S

THIS RECORDING IS AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. ONE SHOW, DOUBLE BILL, WITH SPRINGSTEEN OPENING FOR HEADLINING TEXAS BLUES GUITAR LEGEND FREDDIE KING (AND HIS BAND). KING WAS BOOKED FOR A 6-NIGHT RESIDENCY, HOWEVER SPRINGSTEEN WAS A SPECIAL GUEST ONLY FOR THE FIRST TWO NIGHTS. BRUCE PLAYED BEFORE KING BOTH NIGHTS BUT WAS ALLOWED TO GIVE A HEADLINER-LENGTH PERFORMANCE. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED 10-SONG SETLIST REPRESENTS BRUCE'S COMPLETE PERFORMANCE AND IS FROM AN EXCELLENT QUALITY SOUNDBOARD THAT IS MOST COMMONLY FOUND ON THE WIDELY CIRCULATING CD "YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME" (GREAT DANE). UNFORTUNATELY THE FOLKS AT GREAT DANE INCORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED THIS AUDIO TO A 19/1/74 SHOW AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY - AND THIS ERRONEOUS INFORMATION HAS WIDELY PROPAGATED EVER SINCE. PLEASE REFER TO THE 19/1/74 KENT STATE LISTING FOR SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THAT SHOW, WHICH TOOK PLACE IN A MUCH LARGER VENUE BEFORE A SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER CROWD. BRUCE'S BOOKING AT THIS SMALL, 300-SEAT CLUB CAME ABOUT AFTER MIKE APPEL BECAME AWARE OF A CBS SALES CONVENTION TAKING PLACE IN NASHVILLE AND, ADDITIONALLY, THAT THE ENTIRE CBS CONTINGENT WOULD BE STAYING IN A HOTEL NEAR THIS CLUB. APPEL CONDUCTED A HANDBILL/LEAFLET DROP TO EACH ROOM IN THE HOTEL, INVITING NEARLY 200 CBS SALES AND MARKETING PEOPLE TO ATTEND ONE THE SHOWS. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO APPEL, NOBODY FROM CBS TURNED UP AND THE CLUB WAS PAINFULLY EMPTY. THE AUDIO EVIDENCE CERTAINLY BACKS UP APPEL'S RECOLLECTION. THERE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE IN THE CLUB FOR BRUCE'S SHOW. IT IS SPECULATED THIS SOUNDBOARD WAS RECORDED BECAUSE APPEL WANTED TO HAVE MOMENTO MATERIAL FROM THE SHOW TO GIVE TO THE CBS PEOPLE HE (WRONGLY) ANTICIPATED WOULD SHOW UP. THIS WAS A SINGLE SHOW CONSISTING OF TWO SETS. THERE WAS A SHORT INTERMISSION AFTER "THUNDERCRACK". THE OPENING SONG OF THE SECOND SET, "YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME", IS MISSING ITS OPENING MINUTE OR SO. SIMILARLY "BLINDED" WAS THE FINAL SONG IN THE 2ND SET AND THE OPENING MINUTE OF THE FIRST ENCORE, "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW", IS MISSING. "ROSALITA" (WHICH CONTAINS THE "SHOTGUN" SEGMENT, AS WELL AS A VERY BRIEF SNIPPET OF "HIGH HEELED SNEAKERS") WAS THE FINAL ENCORE. SOUND IS A SUPERB SOUNDBOARD SOURCE. DISC ONE: THE START OF TRACK 6 "YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME" IS CUT AS INDICATED ABOVE. THERE ARE STATIC SNAPS BETWEEN SOME TRACKS ON THE LATTER HALF OF THE DISC. TRACK 8 "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" HAS SEVERE STATIC BURNER ERRORS FROM 9:30 TO END. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW" IS CUT SLIGHTLY AS INDICATED ABOVE.

C7 - FEBRUARY 1, 1974 “WISHBONE WARM-UP” 1 CDR ALLEN THEATRE CLEVELAND, OHIO

THE BAND OPENED FOR WISHBONE ASH. SOUND IS GOOD- (BASS, DRUMS AND PIANO ARE VERY THIN) THE E STREET BAND STILL HAS DAVE SANCIOUS AND VINI LOPEZ AS MEMBERS AT THIS TIME. LISTEN FOR VINI'S VERY MANIC, FILL-LADEN DRUMMING ON THIS RECORDING. HIS CONSTANT HAMMERING ON THE DRUMS WITH NO TOUCH OR FINESSE WHATSOEVER IS ALMOST AGGRAVATING TO LISTEN TO. IT'S MAKES YOU VERY THANKFUL FOR MAX'S MUCH MORE THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO PERCUSSION. DISC ONE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 6-7, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C19 - JUNE 2, 1974 “UNTITLED” 1 CDR

NOTES: ONE SHOW, WITH SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND HEADLINING. PARTIAL SETLIST ABOVE IS FROM A NEWLY CIRCULATING AUDIENCE TAPE. THIS LIKELY REPRESENTS LESS THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL PERFORMANCE. ALL BUT A FEW OPENING SECONDS OF "SPIRIT" IS CUT, AS WELL AS THE OPENING MINUTE OR SO OF THE EVENING FINALE, "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW". THE AUDIO QUALITY IS POOR EXCEPT DURING BRUCE'S OPENING SPOTLIGHT ACOUSTIC SOLO, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY BETTER. ALTHOUGH THIS TAPE FIRST TURNED UP UNDATED, THERE ARE SEVERAL VITAL CLUES DURING THE SHOW THAT ALMOST CERTAINLY PINPOINT THE TAPE TO THIS DATE AND VENUE. BRUCE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIES THE GROUP BY THE NAME "THE E STREET BAND" (WHICH PLACES THE SHOW AFTER FEBRUARY 1974) AND ALSO ASKS THE AUDIENCE HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE TRAVELED FROM DETROIT FOR THIS SHOW (MOST RESPOND YES - TOLEDO IS ONLY 70KM FROM DETROIT). THIS ARRANGEMENT OF THE FATS DOMINO SONG COMBO "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW - I'M READY" WAS VERY UNIQUE TO THE MID-1974 PERIOD AND SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING NIGHT'S RENDITION IN CLEVELAND. BEGINNING THE SHOW WITH ONE OR TWO ACOUSTIC NUMBERS HAD BEEN A VERY CONSISTENT FIXTURE OF SPRINGSTEEN'S CONCERTS UP TO THIS POINT. HOWEVER THE HIRING OF MARK BRICKMAN AS STAGE LIGHTING DIRECTOR IN JULY 1974 WOULD PRETTY MUCH END THE OPENING ACOUSTIC SOLO SPOTS IN THE SHOW. FROM A HISTORICAL AND COLLECTOR STANDPOINT THE KEY SONG HERE IS "ANGEL BABY", AN UNRELEASED SPRINGSTEEN COMPOSITION FROM LATE 1972 THAT HAS NEVER CIRCULATED BEFORE IN EITHER STUDIO OR LIVE FORM. SPRINGSTEEN, IDENTIFYING IT AS "A NEW SONG", PERFORMS IT ACOUSTICALLY (WITH CLARENCE AND DANNY) AND FORTUNATELY THE TAPE IS COMPLETE AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SOMEWHAT BETTER ON THIS TRACK BECAUSE THE CROWD IS QUIET. ALTHOUGH "ANGEL BABY" BEARS NO COMMON MELODY OR LYRICS WITH "SANDY", BOTH ARE LOVE SONGS SET ALONG THE SUMMER JERSEY SHORELINE. THE FACT THAT BRUCE PULLED THIS ONE OUT OF HIS MAGIC BAG FOR THIS SHOW MAY RELATE TO HIS MAY 1974 CONCEPTUAL DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR THE THIRD ALBUM - IT HAS "ANGEL BABY" AS ONE OF THE 10 SONGS FOR THE NEXT ALBUM. BRUCE LATER USED A FEW TIDBITS OF LYRIC FROM "ANGEL BABY" FOR HIS 1975 COMPOSITION "LONELY NIGHT IN THE PARK", THE AS-YET UNCIRCULATING NUMBER FROM THE BTR SESSIONS. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUDDY). ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 3 HAS SERIOUS SOUND PROBLEMS FROM 3:56-END OF TRACK. TRACK 5 "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" IS ONLY A 7 SECOND SNIPPIT. TRACK 7 LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW - I'M READY" IS CUT PER THE BRUCEBASE.

C17 - JUNE 3, 1974 "UNTITLED" 1 CDR THE AGORA CLEVELAND, OHIO

ONE SHOW, WITH SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND HEADLINING. MOST (POSSIBLY ALL) OF THIS 100-MINUTE SHOW WAS RECORDED BY WMMS-FM IN CLEVELAND, THEN EDITED TO FIT INTO A 60-MINUTE TIME SCHEDULE AND BROADCAST FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 5/6/74 AT 10PM-11PM. THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES (4-6 SONGS) OF THE PERFORMANCE NOT BROADCAST AND NONE OF UNBROADCASTED MATERIAL IS IN CIRCULATION, IF INDEED IT EVER SURVIVED THE EDITING ROOM. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SETLIST REPRESENTS ONLY THOSE SONGS THAT WERE BROADCAST AND THESE SONGS CAN BE FOUND IN EXCELLENT SOUNDBOARD QUALITY ON THE CD "YOU NEVER CAN TELL" (PIGGHAN), AS WELL AS TITLES SUCH AS "AND THE BAND PLAYED" (SWINGING PIG) PLUS "AND THE E STREET BAND PLAYED" (SCORPION). "TOKYO" IS ALSO FOUND IN THE "ALL THOSE YEARS" COMPILATION. WMMS-FM EDITORS SELECTED A GOOD CROSS-SECTION OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE A STRIKING RENDITION OF CHUCK BERRY'S "YOU NEVER CAN TELL" AND THE LAST KNOWN (AND PROBABLY TIGHTEST) LIVE PERFORMANCE OF "TOKYO", WHICH BY MID-74 SEEMS TO BE MORPHING INTO A NEW TITLE WITH ALTERED LYRICS CALLED "SLEEPYTOWN” SOUND IS FM BROADCAST QUALITY. DISC IS CLEAN. BECAUSE OF THE RADIO

STATIONS EDITING THERE ARE WELL DONE FADES BETWEEN MOST TRACKS.

C21 - JULY 12, 1974 “I’D LIKE TO THANK BRUCE SPRINGSTREET AND E STEEN BAND”THE BOTTOM LINE, NEW YORK 1 CDR

THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. TWO SHOWS, 8:30PM AND 11:30PM, DOUBLE BILLING, WITH SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND HEADLINING AND SINGER-SONGWRITER JEFFREY COMANOR OPENING WITH A SHORT SET. THIS 3-NIGHT (6-SHOW) RESIDENCY AT THE NEWLY OPENED BOTTOM LINE WAS A LAST MINUTE BOOKING, WITH VERY LITTLE ADVANCED PROMOTION. CONSEQUENTLY NEITHER SHOW ON OPENING NIGHT WAS A SELLOUT, ALTHOUGH WORD SPREAD QUICKLY AND THE FOLLOWING TWO NIGHTS WERE VIRTUAL SELLOUTS. SOUND IS AVERAGE+. RECORDED SETLIST: "JUNGLELAND" (WITH VERY DIFFERENT LYRICS/AND A JAZZ ARRANGEMENT), "KITTY'S BACK" IS ON BOTH TRACKS 2 & 3. TRACK 2 IS THE INTRO STORY, TRACK 3 IS THE SONG ITSELF. TRACK 4 IDS THE WNEW RADIO JOCKS GIVING OUT THE POST-SHOW CREDITS. AFTER THE JOCK SLAUGHTERS BRUCE’S NAME TWICE BRUCE CUTS IN AND SAYS SOMETHING TO EFFECT OF “GIMME THAT GODDAMN MIC AND QUIT SCREWING UP MY NAME!”. EVIDENTLY THIS SHOW WAS BROADCAST OVER WNEW IN NEW YORK.

C1 - JULY 13, 1974 "NO MONEY DOWN" 2CDR’S THE BOTTOM LINE NEW YORK, NY

DISC ONE: POPPING SOUND TRACK 7 FROM 6:44-7:33 TRACK 9 HAS SLIGHT CUT AT END. DISC TWO: TAPE TURN DURING TRACK 2, MISSES SEVERAL SECONDS. LIVE PREMIERE OF “JUNGLELAND” WHICH IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE RELEASED STUDIO VERSION. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C6 - JULY 14, 1974 “BOTTOM LINE 1974, LAST NIGHT” THE BOTTOM LINE, NEW YORK 1 DISC

SOUNDBOARD RECORDING - DATE IS NOT CONFIRMED BUT THE TRACKS MUST COME FROM THIS GENERAL TIME PERIOD AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF JUNGLELAND IS VERY DISTINCTIVE. NOT A COMPLETE SHOW. CLEAN BUT WITH LOTS OF BACKGROUND STATIC THROUGHOUT. NOT A COMPLETE RECORDING, ONLY TWO TRACKS ARE PRESERVED.

C5 - OCTOBER 4, 1974 "AVERY FISHER HALL" 2CDR’S AVERY FISHER HALL NEW YORK, NY

SOUND IS AVERAGE- (MUFFLED AND LOTS OF TAPE HISS) SHOW FEATURES SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN. DISC ONE: TRACK ONE HAS A TAPE WARP @ :57. TAPE WARP FROM TRACKS 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 4 HAS SOME INTERFERENCE FROM :34-2:00 DURING "E STREET SHUFFLE" INTRO SOUNDS LIKE THE TAPER WAS MESSING WITH A BAG OF STUFF. TAPE WARP TRACK 4 AT 11:22, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TAPE WARP OCCURS BETWEEN TRACKS 5-6, MUSICAL INTRO TO "SAINT" MISSED. BAD EDIT FROM 6-7. TRACK 7 HAS A GAP FROM 7:56-7:58, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 8 SKIPS @ 7:03, TRACK 7 HAS TAPE WARPS FROM 7:24-7:27, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: REVIEW PENDING. DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 1-2. TRACK 2 HAS AN EDIT AT 11:29 FROM "HERE SHE COMES...." TO "OOOOH ALL RIGHT...." (TAPE TURN?) TRACK 2 HAS A TAPE WARP @ 14:23, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 5-6, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 7 IS A BONUS TRACK OF "THE FEVER" ACOUSTIC, UNKNOWN DATE/VENUE. ALL OF DISC TWO HAS A FAINT “GHOST” IMAGE RECORDING ON THE BACKGROUND. ITS ESPECIALLY AUDIBLE DURING THE QUIET PASSAGES. MOST LIKELY THE RESULT OF THE TAPER RE-USING AS PREVIOUSLY USED TAPE.

C1 - OCTOBER 11, 1974 "JUNGLELAND MARYLAND" 1 CDR SHADY GROVE MUSIC FAIR GAITHERSBURG, MD

THIS IS A COPY OF THE KMA RECORDS RELEASE. INCOMPLETE SHOW. FEATURES SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN. TRACK SEVEN "SHE'S THE ONE" HAS A VERSE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME PART OF "BACKSTREETS". TRACK ELEVEN IS A MESS, MUST GET NEW COPY OF THIS DISC.

C12 - OCTOBER 11, 1974 "JUNGLELAND MARYLAND" 1 CDR SHADY GROVE MUSIC FAIR GAITHERSBURG, MD

THIS RECORDING IS INCOMPLETE, APPARENTLY THE REST OF THE SHOW WASN'T TAPED AS THE TAPERS GIRLFRIEND WANTED TO LEAVE EARLY. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- (MODERATE TO HIGH TAPE HISS, MINOR VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS) DISC ONE: SLIGHT FADE FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED (TAPE TURN?) TRACK 10 "JUNGLELAND" IS INTRODUCED AS "A NEW SONG". IT HAS A VERY DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT AND LYRICS THAN THE OFFICIAL STUDIO VERSION.

C9 - OCTOBER 12, 1974 “THE PRINCETON FLOOD” ALEXANDER HALL, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, NJ 2CDR’S

AUDIENCE TAPE - THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE SECOND OF TWO SETS PERFORMED ON THIS NIGHT - AVERAGE QUALITY. SPIRIT IS COMPLETELY MESSED UP AT THE START SO THE BAND START AGAIN. GOOD VERSIONS OF LOST IN THE FLOOD AND JUNGLELAND. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR SEE NOTES.

SOUND QUALITY IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- ("DISTANT" SOUNDING, NUMEROUS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS, MAY RUN SLOW AT TIMES) FIRST KNOWN SPANISH HARLEM. BRUCE AND THE BAND ARE BILLED AS OPENING ACT FOR JOHN SEBASTIAN, BUT HE VOLUNTARILY TOOK SECOND SPOT AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE EVENTS OF AUGUST 3, 1974 THE INFAMOUS ANNE MURRY SHOW WHERE ANNE WAS “BRUUUUCED” OFF THE STAGE. RECORDING FEATURES SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN AND BACKING VOCALS. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "INCIDENT" HAS A TAPE WARP @ :38, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

THIS RECORDING MAY HAVE A COMPRESSED SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C3 - OCTOBER 19, 1974 "SPANISH HARLEM" 2 CDR’S UNION COLLEGE SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK

NOTE: AMAZING SHOW WITH GOOD SOUND (LOW END SOUNDS ARE SLIGHTLY MUFFLED, WHICH INCLUDES BRUCE'S DIALOGS WITH THE AUDIENCE AND INTRODUCTORY STORIES.) THIS IS A COPY OF THE PIGGHAM RECORDS RELEASE. THE ARTWORK INDICATES THAT IT HAS BEEN RE-MASTERED BY PIGGHAM RECORDS. DISC ONE: TAPER DOES SOME MIC ADJUSTING ON TRACK 8 FROM 8:00-8:30, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 8 IS AN EARLY VERSION OF "SHE'S THE ONE". TRACK 9 IS AN EARLY VERSION OF "JUNGLELAND". VERY DIFFERENT FROM STUDIO RELEASE. DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C10 - OCTOBER 26, 1974 “BACK IN SCHOOL” SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE. SPRINGFIELD, MA 2CDR’S

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS GOOD-. CONCERT FEATURES SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN. BOTH DISCS TEND TO DISTORT IN THE LOW END. SHE'S THE ONE STARTS WITH A RAP ABOUT ITS BEAT THAT BRUCE WOULD USE MORE EXTENSIVELY TWO YEARS LATER DURING THE FALL 1976 TOUR. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 IS JUST AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BEFORE THE SHOW. TRACK 2 "INCIDENT" IS JUST BRUCE, ROY AND SUKI. TRACK 7 "JUNGLELAND" FADES IN DURING THE VIOLIN/PIANO INTRO. TRACK 9 "KITTY’S BACK" SKIPS OFF AND ON FROM 15:30 TO THE END OF THE TRACK. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 IS JUST THE BAND TUNING UP FOR TRACK 2 "NYC SERENADE".

C1 - OCTOBER 29, 1974 "FLESH AND FANTASY" 2CDR’S BOSTON MUSIC HALL BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

NOTES: EXCELLENT SOUND, MOST LIKELY SOUNDBOARD SOURCED. DISC ONE: ONE SMALL POP 9:05 INTO TRACK 1 (DURING APPLAUSE) SMALL CUT AFTER TRACK 7 (TAPE TURN?) DISC TWO: CLEAN

SCIAKY ASKS BRUCE SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF UNIQUE HISTORICAL DETAIL. BRUCE JOKINGLY PERFORMS AN ON-AIR AD FOR A SANTORI WINES, HE TALKS IN DETAIL ABOUT 'IF I WAS THE PRIEST" AND "THE FEVER" (SCIAKY PLAYS BOTH SONGS, THE FORMER BEING ALAN CLARKE'S COVER VERSION). SCIAKY ALSO GOT THE MOTHER OF ALL "SCOOPS", WITH A STUDIO VERSION OF "BORN TO RUN" RECEIVING A WORLD DEBUT AIRING 8 MONTHS PRIOR TO ITS OFFICIAL RELEASE. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF THIS SHOW KID LEO (WMMS-FM IN CLEVELAND), SCOTT MUNI (WNEW-FM IN NEW YORK) AND MAXANNE SARTORI (WBCN-FM IN BOSTON) ARE ALSO SENT BROADCAST COPIES OF THE SONG BY MIKE APPEL. BY EARLY 1975 ANOTHER 20 STATIONS RECEIVE THE TAPE, THEREBY CREATING A NIGHTMARE FOR CBS BECAUSE MANY HUNDREDS OF STATIONS CAN'T OBTAIN THE TAPE. NEARLY ALL THE ESSENTIAL SEGMENTS OF THIS SHOW CAN BE FOUND ON THE 2CD SET "NORTHEAST ON THE DIAL" (MYSTIC).

TRACK 1 "KITTY’S BACK" FADES OUT FROM 9:23-9:25. TRACK 1 HAS AN EDIT @ 18:06, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 2 "NYC SERENADE" CUTS @ 17:45 DURING THE OUTRO SECTION.

C10 - DECEMBER 8, 1974 “UNTITLED” UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT. BURLINGTON, VT 2CDR’S

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND VARIES FROM AVERAGE TO POOR, SEE NOTES (VERY MUDDY AT TIMES WITH HIGH TAPE HISS) STANDARD SET FOR THIS PERIOD. SEEMS TO RUN A LITTLE SLOW. EXCELLENT SAINT IN THE CITY AND UNUSUAL E ST SHUFFLE. NYC SERENADE IS ALSO A GOOD VERSION BUT IS SPOILT BY TAPE WARBLE AND CUTS AT THE START. INCOMPLETE RECORDING, SEE DISC TWO NOTES. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "INCIDENT" W/ SUKI LAHAV, SIMPLY AWESOME! TRACK 4 "I WANT YOU" W/ SUKI LAHAV. TRACK 4 POPS @ 7:27, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

62 SHOWS

C1 - FEB. 5, 1975 "THE SAINT, THE INCIDENT AND THE MAIN PT. SHUFFLE" 2CDR’S THE MAIN PT. BRYN MAWR, PA

NOTE: ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS FROM THIS PERIOD. VERY GOOD SOUND. THIS IS A COPY OF THE GREAT DANE RECORDS RELEASE MASTERS PLUS SERIES THIS SHOW WAS BROADCAST LIVE ON WMMR-FM, PHILADELPHIA, PA. W/ SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN MAIN POINT BENEFIT SHOW. THIS WAS THE PREMIERE OF THUNDER ROAD, ACTUALLY CALLED "WINGS FOR WHEELS" AT THIS TIME AND OF BOTH BACK IN THE USA AND MOUNTAIN OF LOVE. DISC ONE: CLEAN DISC TWO: TAPE TURN BETWEEN TRACKS 1 & 2? TRACK 6 "FOR YOU" IS THE SLOW VERSION.

C1 - FEBRUARY 5, 1975 "YOU CAN TRUST YOUR CAR..." 2CDR’S THE MAIN POINT BRYN MAWR, PENNSYLVANIA

THIS IS A COPY OF THE LABOR OF LOVE RELEASE THIS SHOW WAS BROADCAST LIVE ON WMMR-FM, PHILADELPHIA, PA W/ SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN MAIN POINT BENEFIT SHOW. THIS WAS THE PREMIERE OF THUNDER ROAD, ACTUALLY CALLED WINGS FOR WHEELS AT THIS TIME AND OF BOTH BACK IN THE USA AND MOUNTAIN OF LOVE. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE RENDITION OF "INCIDENT" AMAZING!! DISC ONE: CLEAN DISC TWO: CLEAN FOR YOU IS THE SLOW VERSION

C12 - FEBRUARY 6, 1975 “UNTITLED” WIDNER COLLEGE, WEST CHESTER, PENN 1 CDR

NOTES: PROBABLY SOURCED FROM THE VIDEO OF THE SHOW. ALL SONGS SUFFER FROM EITHER/OR SPEED FLUCTUATIONS/CUTS. ONLY OTHER SOURCE OF THE 'WINGS FOR WHEELS' VERSION OF “THUNDER ROAD”. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/AVERAGE. INCOMPLETE RECORDING. RECORDING DOCUMENTS HIGHLIGHTS ONLY OF THIS PERFORMANCE. I'M LED TO BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS BETWEEN TRACK FADES AND BAD EDITS BETWEEN TRACKS. TRACK ONE "INCIDENT..." FEATURES SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 4 "SPIRIT..." HAS SEVERAL TAPE WARPS AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. "THUNDER ROAD" IS SPLIT ACROSS TRACKS 5 & 6. TRACK 6 FADES OUT SLIGHTLY EARLY DURING THE MUSICAL OUTRO SECTION. TRACK 7 "KITTY’S BACK" SKIPS @ 8:49, TRACK 7 ALSO HAS A "BUMP" @ 10:36. TRACK 8 "NYC SERENADE" CUTS IN A LITTLE LATE. TRACK 8 FADES OUT @ 2:45, RESULTING IN A RADICAL CUT TO "NYC SERENADE". TRACK 9 "ROSALITA" HAS AN GLITCH @ 3:58, TRACK 9 HAS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT. TRACK 10 "SANDY" OPENS WITH A BIG TAPE WARP AND CUTS OFF DURING THE LAST VERSE.

C15 - FEBRUARY 7, 1975 WIDENER COLLEGE, WEST CHESTER, PA, US, 1 CDR

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE ACCORDING TO EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY DISTANT AND MUDDY). DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" OPENS WITH A BIG TAPE WARP. TRACK 1 HAS SEVERAL GAPS FROM 6:57-7:05. ROUGH EDITS ARE APPARENT BETWEEN MOST TRACKS (TAPE STOPPAGE EDITS), NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. TRACK 5 OPENS WITH A 10 SECOND SNIPPET OF "I WANT YOU" THE TRACK THEN MORPHS POORLY INTO "THUNDER ROAD". TRACK 7 "NYC SERENADE" CUTS OFF @ 2:43. TRACK 9 "SANDY" CUTS OFF @ 7:00. THE LAST 45 SECONDS OF THIS TRACKS IS PRETTY ROUGH SOUNDING AS WELL. ONE SHOW, HELD IN THE 1,500-SEAT WIDENER FIELD HOUSE, WITH SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND THE SOLE ACT ON THE BILL. THIS SECOND NIGHT AT WIDENER WAS A SELLOUT. VIDEO FROM THIS SHOW HAS BEEN IN CIRCULATION SINCE AT LEAST THE LATE 1970'S. THE DETAIL SURROUNDING THIS VIDEO PRODUCTION HAS LONG BEEN A SOURCE OF SPECULATION. FOR MANY YEARS THE CIRCULATING SPECIMENS OF THE FOOTAGE WERE UNIFORMLY POOR IN QUALITY. HOWEVER PORTIONS OF THE VIDEO WERE SHOWN IN SPRINGSTEEN TV DOCUMENTARIES IN THE 1990'S AND THE QUALITY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN ANYTHING SEEN BEFORE IN COLLECTING CIRCLES. THIS HAS LENT WEIGHT TO A LONG HELD RUMOR THAT THIS FOOTAGE (FAR FROM EMANATING FROM A SHADOWY FAN) MAY HAVE BEEN SHOT BY WIDENER STUDENTS INVOLVED IN A FILM MAKING COURSE - AND THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME PRE-ARRANGED CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO FILM THE CONCERT FROM THE SPRINGSTEEN CAMP. THE PARTIAL SETLIST MENTIONED ABOVE IS FROM AN AUDIO SOURCE GENERALLY BELIEVED TO BE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FILM FOOTAGE (I.E., A SOUNDTRACK). PORTIONS OF THE FILM FOOTAGE ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN CIRCULATING AMONG THE WIDENER COMMUNITY AS EARLY AS 1976. AS IS THE CASE WITH THE VIDEO FOOTAGE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS BOOTLEGGED VARIATIONS OF THE AUDIO SOURCE IN CIRCULATION, OF VARYING QUALITY AND INDIVIDUAL TRACK COMPLETENESS. HOWEVER THESE "VARIATIONS" SEEM TO BE MINOR - ALL INCORPORATE THE SAME 9 SONGS FROM A SHOW THAT FEATURED APPROXIMATELY 16 SONGS IN TOTAL. IN ADDITION A BRIEF SEGMENT OF "I WANT YOU" EXISTS AS AUDIO BUT IS NOT CIRCULATING AS VIDEO.

C15 - FEBRUARY 23, 1975 “MUSIC FAIR SOUNDCHECK” WESTBURY MUSIC FAIR, WESTBURY, NY, USA, 1 CDR

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE ACCORDING TO EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR. IT APPEARS THAT THE TAPER CAPTURED THE BAND REHEARSING FOR THE SHOW FROM OUTSIDE THE VENUE. ALL 10 SONGS ON THIS DISC ARE PARTIAL ONLY.

C1 - FEBRUARY 23, 1975 "THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE" 2CDR’S WESTBURY LONG ISLAND

NOT THE COMPLETE SHOW, SEE NOTES. NOTES: DISC ONE: TRACK FIVE CUTS OFF @ 11:58 TRACK SIX CUTS IN DURING THE INTRO STORY TAPE TURN AFTER TRACK 6?? DISC TWO: TRACK ONE TAPE WARP @ 9:55 TRACK TWO POPS @ :33 IT APPEARS THAT THE TAPER STOPPED RECORDING BRIEFLY AFTER EACH TRACK ON DISC TWO TO MINIMIZE LENGTH OF APPLAUSE, NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. FOR YOU IS THE "SLOW" VERSION WITH BRUCE PLAYING THE PIANO "QUARTER TO THREE" IS MISSING, IT WAS PLAYED ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE.

C7 - MARCH 7, 1975 “UNTITLED” PAINTER’S MILL , BALTIMORE 1 CDR

SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUDDY, "DISTANT" AND HIGH TAPE HISS) THIS SHOW HAS BEEN RESEQUENCED BY OTHERS. DISC ONE: ALL TRACKS HAVE A FEW CHANNEL FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. TRACK 2 "SPIRIT" HAS A SOUND GLITCH/TAPE WARP RIGHT NEAR THE END OF THE TRACK. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 3 HAS A TAPE WARP/EDIT @ :57, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 3 "ROSALITA" IS BLANK FROM 1:18-1:22 THIS RESULTS IN A SEVERE CUT FROM THE INTRO MUSIC TO THE END OF THE BAND INTROS. TRACK 3 CUTS @ 7:31. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 4 "SANDY" HAS SEVERAL SOUND PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 6 "SHE'S THE ONE" CUTS @ 7:25 DURING OUTRO. TRACK 6 ALSO HAS SEVERAL POPS THROUGHOUT THE TRACK. TRACK 7 "JUNGLELAND" CUTS OFF AT 7:11 JUST BEFORE THE LAST VERSE. ONE OF THE LAST CONCERTS WITH SUKI LAHAV ON VIOLIN AND THEREFORE THE LAST VERSIONS OF INCIDENT AND JUNGLELAND WITH VIOLIN AND THAT I WANT YOU IS PLAYED. BRUCE AND THE BAND WERE DOUBLE BOOKED THE NIGHT OF THIS PERFORMANCE WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THIS VERY SHORT SET (ITS LESS THAN 1 HOUR).

C11 - MARCH 8, 1975 “UNTITLED” CONSTITUTION HALL, WASHINGTON

RECORDING FEATURES SUKI LAHAV MARCH 9 WILL BE SUKI’S LAST PERFORMANCE WITH THE E STREET BAND.. VERY GOOD QUALITY AUDIENCE TAPE BUT INCOMPLETE. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE, "INCIDENT" "E STREET" AND "GROWIN' UP" ARE OMITTED. DISC ONE: TRACK ONE "I WANT YOU" CUTS IN VERY LATE. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 5 "NYC SERENADE" HAS EDITS @ 9:20 AND 11:18, AN UNKNOWN LENGTH OF MUSIC IS MISSED ON BOTH OF THESE EDITS. DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. FIRST :40 SECONDS OF TRACK 4 HAS TAPER ADJUSTING SOUNDS. TRACK 4 IS THE ALWAYS AMAZING SOLO "FOR YOU" WITH BRUCE PLAYING THE PIANO. BAD EDIT FROM TRACK 4-5, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 5 IS "WEAR MY RING AROUND YOUR NECK" TRACK 6 IS "QUARTER TO THREE" IT IS MY BELIEF THAT TRACKS 5-6 ARE BONUS TRACKS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE BRUCEBASE AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE MAIN SHOW. I BELIEVE THE DATES FOR THE BONUS TRACKS IS 2/23/75 OR 11/24/75, THE ONLY TIMES THEY WERE BOTH PLAYED IN 1975. THIS IS AN MP3 SOURCED RECORDING PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C3 - JULY 20, 1975 "INTRODUCING MIAMI STEVE" 2CDR’S PALACE THEATRE PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

OPENING NIGHT OF THE BORN TO RUN TOUR, AND POSSIBLY THE FIRST CONCERT WITH MIAMI STEVE VAN ZANDT. PREMIERES OF 10TH AVENUE FREEZE OUT AND SHA LA LA. SOUND IS AVERAGE WITH SOME TAPE HISS. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "INCIDENT" IS JUST BRUCE AND ROY. BEAUTIFUL! THE TAPER HAS EDITED OUT MOST AUDIENCE APPLAUSE BETWEEN TRACKS 2-3, 3-4 & 5-6, 7-8. RECORDING CUTS OFF ABRUPTLY AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF "NYC SERENADE" NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. DISC TWO: TAPER EDITS OUT AUDIENCE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS 1-2, 3-4.

C6 - JULY 22, 1975 “GENEVA '75” GENEVA THEATRE, NY (WITH SOUNDCHECK) 2CDR’S

SOUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUFFLED AND LOTS OF TAPE HISS) AUDIENCE TAPE OF SHOW AND S/C. S/C SOUND IS VERY MUDDY. THE FIRST 6 SONGS ON DISC ONE HAVE BEEN RESEQUENCED BY OTHERS. FULL VERSION OF 'YOU REALLY GOT ME & CRY TO ME' FIRST KNOWN 'HIGHER AND HIGHER' WHICH IS PLAYED DIFFERENTLY TO LATER VERSIONS. DUE TO THE FRENZY OF ACTIVITY SURROUNDING THE COMPLETION OF THE BORN TO RUN LP, THE CONCERT WAS CHANGED TO JULY 11, THEN BUMPED BACK A WEEK TO JULY 18, AND SUBSEQUENTLY HELD ON JULY 22, 1975, WHICH WAS THE 2ND DATE ON THE TOUR. TICKETS FOR JULY 12 WERE NEVER USED. A NEW SET WAS PRINTED FOR JULY 11 AND THEN CHANGED BY HAND TO JULY 18. A FAN PRESENT REPORTS, DURING THE SOUND CHECK BRUCE FELL OFF THE STAGE INTO THE ORCHESTRA PIT, EVERYBODY WORRIED BUT HE POPPED UP & CLARENCE PICKED HIM BACK UP ON STAGE. THIS WAS THE FIRST SHOW WITH A FULL TIME MIAMI STEVE ON GUITAR OR SO WAS ANNOUNCED BY BRUCE. THE WHOLE SHOW BRUCE JOKED ABOUT MIAMI STEVE SCREWING UP ON LYRICS, SONGS AND DANCE STEPS. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 SKIPS SEVERELY FOR THE FIRST 1:00. TRACK 2 SKIPS @ 8:02. THERE ARE BAD EDITS FROM TRACKS 6,7, 7-8 AND 8/9, NO MUSIC IS IMPACTED BY ANY OF THESE. DISC TWO: TRACK 3 FADES OUT SLIGHTLY FROM 11:13-11:15. ROUGH EDITS FROM TRACKS 3-4, 4-5, 5-6. TRACK 7 "QUARTER TO THREE" CUTS @ 1:31, LAST 3/4 OF SONG OMITTED. THE SOUNDCHECK FOR THIS SHOW IS PUT ON THE CDR AFTER THE MAIN SHOW. PRETTY COOL (EXCEPT FOR THE AWFUL QUALITY)

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. INCOMPLETE SHOW. A RARE AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- ("WARPY" SOUND AT TIMES DUE TO THE TAPE BEING OFF TRUE SPEED). ONLY KNOWN PERFORMANCE OF GIMMI THAT WINE APART FROM 10/3/74. INCOMPLETE, SEE DISC TWO NOTES. THE INSTRUMENTAL IS THE SAME AS PERFORMED AT 29/7/75 AND 8/8/75. IT APPEARS THAT THE TAPER STOPPED TAPED BETWEEN EACH SONG. THIS RESULTS IN ROUGH EDITS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS, BOTH DISCS. DISC ONE: TRACK 11 "KITTY’S BACK" POPS A COUPLE OF TIME THROUGHOUT. TRACK 12 "ROSALITA" CUTS OFF JUST PRIOR TO THE WORDS "...BY THE TIME WE REACH THE MORNING LIGHT...". DISC TWO: TRACK 1 IS "ROSALITA" THIS TIME IN FULL. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE "A LOVE SO FINE” THE LAST SONG PERFORMED AT THIS CONCERT, HAS BEEN DELETED BY OTHERS WHICH MAKES THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING.

C2 - JULY 29, 1975 "CARTER BARON THEATRE" 2CDR’S CARTER BARON THEATRE WASH., D. C.

THIS MAY BE AN INCOMPLETE SHOW AS OTHER SHOWS OF THIS TIME FEATURE SONGS AFTER "A LOVE SO FINE". INSTRUMENTAL TRACK IS THE SAME AS THE ONE PLAYED AT THE LENOX THEATRE (23/7/75).

SOUND IS PROBLEMATIC AT BEST. LOTS OF TAPE HISS. THE LEFT CHANNEL IS 80%-90% MISSING. SOUND IS AVERAGE-. MODERATELY "DISTANT" SOUNDING WITH HIGH TAPE HISS. ALL INTERSONG STORIES TOLD BY BRUCE HAVE BEEN EDITED OUT BY OTHERS. THIS IS EVIDENT FROM THE FADES THE FOLLOWING AND PRECEED EACH AND EVERY TRACK THAT HISTORICALLY FEATURES AN INTRODUCTORY STORY.

RIGHT CHANNEL IS 95% MISSING ON BOTH DISCS. DISC ONE: EDIT JUST BEFORE THE END OF TRACK 7 "THUNDER ROAD" (TAPE TURN?) BAD EDITS FROM TRACKS 7-8 AND 9-10, NO MUSIC AFFECTED EITHER TIME.

C7 - AUGUST 16, 1975 "LIVE AT THE BOTTOM LINE VOLUME 2" 2CDR’S THE BOTTOM LINE NEW YORK CITY, NY

SOUND VARIES FROM AVERAGE- TO GOOD, SEE DISC NOTES FOR DETAILS. BECAUSE OF THE FIDELITY CHANGES AND BAD EDITS DETAILED BELOW, I BELIEVE THIS RECORDING TO BE A COMPILATION OF AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT SOURCE TAPES OF THE SAME PERFORMANCE MELDED TOGETHER. THIS WOULD MAKE SENSE IF THIS IS THE RECORDING OF THE "EARLY" SHOW. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE, THERE IS NO RECORD OF WHAT WAS PLAYED AT THAT NIGHTS LATE PERFORMANCE. DISC ONE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 3 HAS BACKGROUND STATIC FROM 6:00-7:10. TRACK 5 HAS BACKGROUND STATIC FROM 6:00-7:30. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 8 HAS AN EDIT @7:33 AND A FIDELITY DROP TO AVERAGE-. TRACK 6 IS THE INTRO STORY TO "THE E STREET SHUFFLE" TRACK 9 IS THE SONG ITSELF. AT THE START OF TRACK 9 THE FIDELITY JUMPS TO GOOD. TRACKS 9-12 HAVE STATIC SNAPS AND BRIEFS GAPS THROUGHOUT, THESE ARE SOMETIMES RATHER SEVERE IN NATURE. TRACK 10 HAS AN EDIT @ 3:17 JUST BEFORE TRACK 11 "SHA LA LA" BEGINS. THE EDIT AND THE BRUCEBASE WOULD INDICATE THAT "SHA LA LA" HAS BEEN RESEQUENCED BY OTHERS. TRACK 13 IS A 3 SECOND BLANK TRACK. DISC TWO: TRACK 2 HAS A GAP @ :48, TRACK 2 HAS AN EDIT @ 5:25. TRACK 3 HAS A SILENT GAP FROM 7:34-7:39 WHICH RESULTS IN "ROSALITA" BEING CUT, THE LAST FULL LYRIC HEARD IS "...COMING TO LIBERATE YOU...". TRACK 6 HAS AN EDIT @ 10:59. TRACK 6 BEGINS STATIC SKIPS AND POPS @ 17:37 TO THE END OF THE TRACK. TRACK 6 ALSO HAS AN EDIT @ 21:20. TRACK 7 HAS SLIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC THROUGHOUT.

SOUND IS GOOD-. BOTH DISCS HAVE SLIGHT TRANSITION POPS BETWEEN A FEW TRACKS. DISC ONE: TRACK 4 HAS SLIGHT STATIC SNAPPING FROM 0:0-2:00. SOUND IS GOOD-. BOTH DISCS HAVE VERY SLIGHT TRANSITION POPS BETWEEN SOME TRACK. DISC ONE: TRACK 4 HAS SLIGHT STATIC SNAPPING FROM 0:0-2:00. TRACK 5 IS THE INTRO STORY TO "I THINK ITS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT" TRACK 6 IS THE SONG ITSELF. ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 8-9, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. BRUCE SPENDS THE FIRST 1:30 OF "THE E STREET SHUFFLE", TRACK 9, INTERACTING WITH THE CROWD, VERY COOL! TRACK 9 HAS AN EDIT AT 11:44, "THE E STREET SHUFFLE" HAS BEEN SPLIT ACROSS TRACKS 9-10.

TRACK HAS AN EDIT ABOUT MIDWAY THROUGH FROM THE LYRICS "...ELECTRIC SURGES FREE." UNTIL "...STRENGTH TO SPEAK." TRACK 5 HAS AN EDIT @ 9:22. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE "QUARTER TO THREE" WAS THE LAST SONG PLAYED FOR THE EARLY SHOW THIS NIGHT, THERE ARE NO DETAILS KNOWN OF THE LATE SHOW. IN ANY CASE, "QUARTER TO THREE" IS NOT ON THIS RECORDING. IN FACT TRACK 6 "ROSALITA" CUTS OFF @ 8:54, JUST PRIOR TO THE "BUT NOW YOU'RE SAD YOUR MAMA'S MAD" VERSE WHICH MAKES THIS RECORDING INCOMPLETE.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I NOTICED THAT BRUCE'S SNEAKERS DIDN'T MATCH. HE SANG HALF OF SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT SPRAWLED OUT ON OUR TABLE. I REMEMBER LETTING A PHOTOGRAPHER COME IN A TAKE A BUNCH OF PHOTOS WHILE LEANING ON ME AND CROUCHING BETWEEN OUR SEATS. YEARS LATER I FOUND OUT HOW GOOD HE WAS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE CLASSIC PHOTO OF MY WIFE STARING UP AT BRUCE IN HILBURN'S BOOK--SOMEWHERE AROUND PAGE 84. ROLLING STONE USED IT FOR THE INSIDE COVER IN THE GREATEST SHOWS OF ALL TIME ISSUE--HENDRIX AT MONTEREY WAS THE COVER. SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THAT ANOTHER SHOT OF CHRISTINE TURNED UP ON LEGENDS ON VH-1 AS WELL AS A GREAT SHOT OF MY BEST FRIEND AND I FROM THE EARLY SHOW". SOUND IS AVERAGE+ (VERY HIGH TAPE HISS).

HE GOT THE CROWD SINGING ALONG AND JUST PLAYED IT FROM THERE. IT'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH SOME OF THE MOMENTS DURING THE WESTBURY SHOW THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. IT IS DURING QUARTER TO THREE THAT BRUCE CAN BE HEARD SAYING "ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?" IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THIS IS THE SHOW THAT DENIRO AND SCORCESE WERE AT.

C11 - NOVEMBER 21, 1975 “UNTITLED” KONSERTHUSET STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2 CDR

THE BRUCEBASE INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE SHOW BUT I CANNOT TELL WHAT SONG(S) HAVE BEEN OMITTED UNLESS THEY WERE PERFORMED AFTER "THE DETROIT MEDLEY" WHICH IS CUT SHORT. ASIDE FROM THIS CONCERT BEING THE FIRST EVER E STREET BAND PERFORMANCE IN SWEDEN I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RECORDING FOR ANYBODY BUT THE MOST HARDENED BRUCELEG COLLECTORS BECAUSE THE SOUND IS VERY POOR (VERY MUDDY). DISC ONE: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: TRACK 4 HAS A POP AT ABOUT 6:30, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 5 "THE DETROIT MEDLEY" CUTS OFF @ 1:57, JUST AS "GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY" BEGINS. THIS RECORDING IS AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

VERY GOOD AUDIENCE TAPE FOR THE PERIOD. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE SHOW ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS COMPLETE TO ME. GREAT, HIGH ENERGY SHOW! BRUCE IS NOT JUST HYPE BUT IS INDEED THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL ARTIST OF OUR TIME. HE PROVES IT WITH THIS PERFORMANCE. BOTH DISCS HAVE SLIGHT INTERMITTENT STATIC POPPING THROUGHOUT.

TRACKS 2-6 ARE DEFIANTLY FROM A DIFFERENT SHOW BECAUSE SEVERAL TIMES BRUCE CALLS OUT "ARE YOU READY MAD DOG?". THIS WOULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE THAT THESE TRACKS ARE FROM 1974 NOT 1975 AS LISTED.

C3 - DECEMBER 30, 1975 "TEARDROPS ON THE TOWER VOLUME 1” 2CDR’S TOWER THEATRE PHILADELPHIA, PA

SOUNDBOARD SOURCED BUT SUFFERS FROM OVER-RECORDING IN PARTS. THIS WAS THE FIRST VERSION OF NIGHT SINCE THE BOTTOM LINE GIGS IN AUGUST. DISC ONE: TRACK TWO "TENTH" IS THE VERY RARE SLOW VERSION.

C1 - MAY 10, 1976 "DOWN IN JUNGLELAND VOL. 2" 1 CDR MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM MOBILE, AL (MAY BE APRIL 7, 1976) THIS IS A COPY OF THE FLASHBACK WORLD PRODUCTIONS RELEASE NOT A COMPLETE SHOW NOTES: LOCATION & DATE LISTED ON PACKAGING (MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM, MOBILE, AL 05/10/76) MAY BE WRONG. WHILE IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT SOME TRACKS COULD BE FROM THE MOBILE AL 05/10/76 SHOW, THE FACT THAT "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" AND "THE DETROIT MEDLEY" WERE NOT PLAYED ON 05/10/76, SOME TRACKS ON THE DISC CONTAINS "CLUMSY" EDITS, AND ALL THE SONGS LISTED WERE PLAYED ON 04/07/76 (ALBEIT IN A DIFFERENT ORDER) LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM THE ALLEN THEATER, CLEVELAND OH 04/07/76 SHOW. IN BETWEEN SONG TALKING HAS BEEN EDITED BY OTHERS. DISC ONE: TRACK THREE CUTS IN DURING FIRST VERSE.

C11 - MAY 13, 1976 “MISSISSIPPI BOSS” MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 2CDR’S

THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C21 - MAY 27, 1976 "IN THE NAVY" EISENHOWER HALL U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY, WEST POINT, NY 2 CDR’S

NOTES: A FAN REMEMBERS "US COMMONERS HAD TO SIT IN THE LAST FIVE OR SIX ROWS AS THE CADETS, DECKED OUT IN DRESS WHITES, AND HAD ALL OF THE REST OF THE THEATER. THE SOUND WAS AMAZING. THE BIG CRESCENDOS OF GROWIN' UP SEEMED TO MOVE THROUGH US FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. I MENTIONED THAT TO BRUCE AT THE STONE PONY BEFORE SOUTHSIDE'S 5/30/76 RADIO BROADCAST AND HE SAID THAT EISENHOWER HALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ACOUSTIC THEATERS IN THE COUNTRY. I BELIEVE IT." LAST TRACK WAS PLAYED, ACCORDING TO A FAN WHO WAS THERE, AFTER THE HOUSE LIGHTS CAME UP AND BRUCE CAME BACK ON STAGE WITH THE LINE "HEY WHERE YA GOING WE AIN'T DONE YET". OBVIOUSLY, THE SOUNDBOARD TAPE HAD QUIT RUNNING AT THIS POINT. OUND IS AVERAGE-/POOR (VERY MUDDY AND MUFFLED WITH HIGH TAPE HISS). DISC ONE: TRACK 7 "BORN TO RUN" HAS AN EDIT @ 3:19 THAT JUMPS FROM "...EVERYBODY'S OUT ON THE RUN..." UNTIL "...WALK IN THE SUN...". DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 2-3, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

TOUR REHEARSALS. THESE ARE PREDOMINANTLY FULL VERSIONS WITH SOME MINOR STYLE DIFFERENCES IN SOME CASES. ITS MY LIFE IS A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT BUT IS CUT AND THE PROMISE IS THE FULL E ST BAND ARRANGEMENT ONLY PLAYED ONCE LIVE. ONLY KNOWN LIVE THE WAY AND SPANISH EYES. THE SONG BROKEN HEARTED APPEARS TO BE A BRUCE ORIGINAL SO IT CAN ONLY BE ASSUMED THAT THIS IS A DARKNESS OUT-TAKE WHICH HAS NOT APPEARED FROM THE STUDIO TAKES AS YET. * DENOTES SOUTHSIDE SINGING OVER WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE DARKNESS STUDIO OUT-TAKES.

FROM THE BRUCEBASE: AUDIENCE TAPE, GOOD QUALITY WITH NO CUTS.

WE DIDN'T LEARN THAT UNTIL WE WENT TO THE DOOR OF THE BIG HALL AND SAW A HAND-WRITTEN SIGN TELLING US TO GO NEXT DOOR. WHAT A TREAT! I WAS IN THE 3RD ROW CENTER AND IT WAS LIKE HAVING A CONCERT IN MY LIVING ROOM! - CONCERT-GOERS HAD TO EXCHANGE THEIR TICKETS SO THERE WAS A DELAY IN STARTING THE SHOW. PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO GET IMPATIENT AND BEGAN THE RHYTHMIC HAND CLAPPING AND FOOT STOMPING TO INDICATE THEIR IMPATIENCE. THE MC MADE ONE ANNOUNCEMENT, BUT IT DIDN'T LET UP. ALL OF A SUDDEN FROM STAGE LEFT OUT COMES BRUCE WHO SAID SOMETHING LIKE THE FOLLOWING, "O.K. YOU GUYS! HANG ON FOR A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL WE GET EVERYONE IN. WE HAVE A LONG SHOW AHEAD OF US TONIGHT!" EVERYONE WENT CRAZY AND INDEED, THE SHOW SOON BEGAN WITH A "NO-HOLDS-BARRED" VERSION OF BADLANDS!". RELEASED ON CDR "GET OUTTA MY FACE"

C22 – “INTERVIEW “ HOUSTON, TX JULY 15, 1978 1 CDR

SPRINGSTEEN DROPS INTO KILT IN THE AFTERNOON FOR A 30-MINUTE CHAT THAT WAS BROADCAST LIVE. THIS INTERVIEW (WHICH SURVIVES BUT ISN’T WIDELY CIRCULATING) INCLUDES IMPORTANT HISTORICAL REVELATIONS ABOUT “THE FEVER” – AMONGST THEM, A CONFIRMATION BY BRUCE THAT HIS PERFORMANCE OF THE SONG THE PREVIOUS NIGHT IN SAN ANTONIO WAS HIS FIRST SINCE THE LIBERTY HALL SHOW OF MARCH 10, 1974. HE ALSO STATES THAT HE’D NEVER PLAYED “THE FEVER” AT ANY GIG PRIOR TO LIBERTY HALL (BRUCE OBVIOUSLY NOT CONSIDERING HIS KLOL-FM IN-STATION RENDITION ON MARCH 9, 1974 AS A CONCERT PERFORMANCE). BRUCE'S VOICE IS VERY CLEAR BUT THE RADIO HOSTS ARE VERY MUTED ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NOT LEGIBLE AT TIMES. DISC IS CLEAN. DESPITE WHAT THE TITLE SAYS THIS RECORDING SOUNDS TO ME AS IF IT WAS RECORDING BACKSTAGE OF THE VENUE AFTER THAT NIGHT’S GIG.

AKA "LIVE AT WINTERLAND" & "LIVE IN THE PROMISED LAND" THIS IS A COPY OF THE CRYSTAL CAT RECORDS RELEASE THIS SHOW WAS BROADCAST LIVE ON KSAN-FM, SAN FRANCISCO, CA FM BROADCAST AND SOUNDBOARD TAPES - THIS IS A MASTER REEL RECORDING AND INCLUDES THE LAST THREE TRACKS NOT BROADCAST. THE VERSIONS OF PROMISED LAND AND PROVE IT ALL NIGHT ARE EXCEPTIONAL AND BACKSTREETS IS BETTER THAN THAT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SOURCE TAPE APPEARS TO RUN SLIGHTLY SLOW. DISC ONE: THIS DISC HAS A FEW PATCHES OF BURNER ERROR STATIC EARLY IN THE DISC. DISC TWO: TRACK 9 "SHE'S THE ONE" HAS THE "I GET MAD" SEQUENCE IN IT. TRACK 10 "BACKSTREETS" HAS AN OUTSTANDING "YOU LIED" SPEECH IN THE MIDDLE PLUS SOME LYRICS THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN UP IN "DRIVE ALL NIGHT".

FM BROADCAST (KSAN RADIO) AND SOUNDBOARD TAPES - THIS IS A MASTER REEL RECORDING AND INCLUDES THE LAST THREE TRACKS NOT BROADCAST. WHAT CAN YOU SAY! THE VERSIONS OF “THE PROMISED LAND” AND “PROVE IT ALL NIGHT” ARE EXCEPTIONAL AND “BACKSTREETS” IS BETTER THAN THAT. PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS SHOW BRUCE WILL EVER DO. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SOURCE TAPE APPEARS TO RUN SLIGHTLY SLOW. RELEASED ON CD "LIVE AT WINTERLAND" (GS), "LIVE IN THE PROMISED LAND" (GDR) AND MOST RECENTLY ON "WINTERLAND NIGHT" (CC). CURRENT THINKING IS THAT “QUARTER TO THREE” IS FROM 16/12/78 AS IT IS REPORTED THAT TWIST AND SHOUT WAS THE ACTUAL LAST SONG PLAYED. THIS RECORDING HAS BEEN REMASTERED BY OTHERS. THE SOUND IS SUPERB SOUNDBOARD SOURCE. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

I GOT ONE FOR YA" AND THEY PLAYED GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT. THERE WERE MAYBE A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE IN THE PLACE WHEN HE STARTED, BUT I WAS TOLD HE ALMOST CAUSED A STAMPEDE OF PEOPLE THINKING THE SHOW WAS STARTING AND TRYING TO GET IN. ANYWAY IT WAS PRETTY COOL TO HEAR A BONUS SONG! I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF MY HIGHLIGHTS OF ALL THE BRUCE SHOWS I'VE SEEN". THANKS TO STEVE FOR THAT, AND ANOTHER READER WRITES "IT WAS A FUN SHOW.

SOUND IS AVERAGE+ (A LITTLE TINNY SOUNDING). SOME TRACKS ON BOTH DISCS HAVE MINOR TRANSITION POPS WHICH MAY INDICATE AN MP3 SOURCE. IT COULD ALSO BE THE RESULT OF THE TAPERS EDITING OUT OF THE INTERSONG STORIES, WHICH ARE MOSTLY MISSING FROM THIS RECORDING. DISC ONE: TRACK 9 "THUNDER ROAD" IS BLANK FROM 2:28-2:35. DISC TWO: TRACK 6 "BACKSTREETS" BECOMES AN UNLISTENABLE SONIC DISASTER AT 2:48 SHORTLY AFTER THE VOCAL/PIANO INTRODUCTION THAT IS ONLY PREFORMED LIVE. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE THE SONG "MACHO MAN' WAS PERFORMED AFTER "RAMROD" I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE BUT IF IT IS THE CASE, THIS RECORDING DOES NOT DOCUMENT IT (THANKFULLY!).

DISC TWO: THIS DISC HAS NUMEROUS MINOR TO MODERATE STATIC CRACKLES THROUGHOUT. DISC THREE: CLEAN. A BIZARRE BEGINNING TO THIS CONCERT, AS NILS AND ROY ARE PLAYING TABLE TENNIS IN A ROOM ADJACENT TO THE DRESSING ROOM AND DO NOT RECEIVE THEIR CUE THAT IT’S TIME FOR THE SHOW TO BEGIN – RESULTING IN A BEMUSED BRUCE STARTING THE SHOW AND PERFORMING “BORN IN THE USA”WITHOUT THEM. STARTING THE FOLLOWING SHOW BRUCE TAKES A HEAD COUNT AS THE BAND TAKES THE STAGE – A PRACTICE THAT CONTINUES TO THIS VERY DAY.

C9 - AUGUST 14, 1985 “DO YOU LOVE ME?” VETERANS STADIUM, PHILADELPHIA, PA 3CDR’S

SOUND IS AVERAGE- (SOMEWHAT MUDDY WITH VERY HIGH CROWD NOISE AND A PERSISTENT BACKGROUND STATIC THROUGH ALL DISCS). ALL DISCS HAVE SPLIT SECOND POPS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS. IN ADDITION, SOME TRACKS HAVE BEEN RESEQUENCED BY OTHERS. THE SHOW IS COMPLETE BUT THE RE-ORDERING OF SONGS DOES IMPACT THE FLOW OF THE SHOW TO SOME DEGREE. RECORDING OPENS WITH "TRAPPED" BUT THE BRUCEBASE INDICATES THAT "BITUSA" OPENED THE SHOW. "BITUSA" HAS BEEN INSERTED AS THE LAST TRACK ON DISC ONE. DISC ONE: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 1-2, BECAUSE OF PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RE-SEQUENCING BY OTHERS. TRACK 2 "BADLANDS" HAS SEVERAL SOUND "BUMPS" THROUGHOUT. TRACK 4 "JOHNNY 99" HAS A BAD TAPE WARP FROM 2:00-2:05. TRACK 8 "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" HAS A BAD TAPE WARP FROM 2:27-2:31. TRACK 8 IS MUFFLED A COUPLE OF TIMES FROM 3:15-3:40 AND FROM 4:19-4:25. TRACK 9 "GLORY DAYS" IS IN THE SPOT WHERE "TRAPPED" SHOULD HAVE BEEN, HENCE THERE IS AN EDIT FROM TRACKS 8-9. HOWEVER, NO MUSIC IS IMPACTED FROM THIS EDIT. TRACK 9 FADES OUT @ 9:30. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 9-10, AGAIN THE RE-SEQUENCING ISSUE. TRACK 10 "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS TAPE WARPING FROM :49-:53. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 10-11, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE THE LAST ROUGH SPOT DUE TO THE INEXPLICABLY PERFORMED RE-SEQUENCING. TRACK 11 "BITUSA" HAS SOUND "BUMPS" SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE TRACK. TRACK 11 "BITUSA" CUTS OFF DURING THE OUTRO MUSIC. DISC TWO: RE-SEQUENCING ISSUES ARISE AGAIN. THE SEQUENCE OF TRACKS 8 "I'M ON FIRE" AND 9 "DOWN BOUND TRAIN" HAVE BEEN SWAPPED. TRACK 4 "COVER ME" HAS A TAPE WARPS FROM :27-:30 AND FROM 4:27-4:31. TRACK 4 ALSO HAS A CLICK @ 1:38. TRACK 8 HAS REPEATS THE SAME LYRIC TWICE FROM 4:18-4:22 & 4:22-4:26. BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 8-9 BECAUSE OF RE-SEQUENCING. DISC THREE: HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RE-SEQUENCED BY OTHERS. AS A RESULT, THERE ARE BAD EDITS BETWEEN MOST TRACKS. TRACK 2 "BOBBY JEAN" HAS SEVERAL SOUND "BUMPS" THROUGHOUT. TRACK 7 "TWIST AND SHOUT" HAS A FIDELITY DROPS FROM 2:19-2:22 AND 2:40-2:44. TRACK 7 HAS A TAPE WARP FROM 6:40-6:45.

TRACK 8 IS "PINK CADILLAC" WHICH, OF COURSE, WAS PLAYED MUCH EARLIER IN THE SECOND SET.

TRAVELIN' BAND IS ADDED IN THE ENCORES IN RESPONSE TO AN ARTIFICIAL LEG BEING THROWN ON STAGE. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- (VERY MUDDY/MUFFLED AT TIMES). SEVERAL BRUCEBASE DISCREPANCIES: "ATLANTIC CITY" IS ACTUALLY WHERE "DARKNESS..." IS LISTED ON THE BRUCEBASE. "IM GOING DOWN" IS WHERE THE BRUCEBASE HAS "DARLINGTON COUNTY", "DOWN BOUND TRAIN" IS WHERE "NO SURRENDER" IS LISTED ON THE BRUCEBASE. "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" IS WHERE THE BRUCEBASE INDICATES "CANT HELP FALLING IN LOVE" SHOULD BE. THESE CHANGES MIGHT INDICATE THAT THIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY FROM THE 14TH BUT THE COMPLETE LACK OF BAD EDITS AT ANY OF THE INDICATED DIFFERENCES LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE BRUCEBASE IS IN ERROR. DISC ONE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED. DISC TWO: TRACK 10 "PINK CADILLAC" HAS A TAPE TURN EDIT @ ABOUT 10:00. DISC THREE: TERRIBLE EDIT FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN.

SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE-. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "BORN IN THE USA" IS GARBLED SLIGHTLY FOR THE FIRST 1:00 OR SO, IT THEN ATTAINS AND STAYS AT THE NOTED FIDELITY LEVELS. "THE RIVER" HAS A BLANK GAP FROM 3:36-3:40. TRAPPED HAS TWO MODERATE STATIC PATCHES DURING THE SONG. DISC TWO: TRACK 4 "THUNDER ROAD" HAS SEVERE STATIC POPS FROM 5:15-5:45. INTERMISSION EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5. TRACK 5 "COVER ME" IS BLANK FROM 6:07-6:10. TRACK 9 POPS @ 3:09, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 10 "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN" HAS BEEN TACKED ON TO THIS SHOW FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE. THE CORRECT SETLIST RESUMES WITH TRACK 1 OF DISC THREE "I'M ON FIRE". BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 5-6, AS A RESULT "RAMROD" HAS BEEN OMITTED BY OTHERS MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING. THE RECORDING RESUMES WITH TRACK 6, THE "TWIST AND SHOUT/DO YOU LOVE

TRACK 3 "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS TAPER ADJUSTING SOUNDS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT. BY TRACK 4 "JOHNNY 99" IT SEEMS THE TAPER HAS SETTLED IN AND THE FIDELITY OF THE CONCERT INCREASES TO A GOOD+. STILL SOME RUSTLING AGAINST THE MIC DURING TRACK 4. TRACK 7 "TRAPPED" HAS SOME RUSTLING AGAINST THE MIC AT ABOUT 3:00. TERRIBLE EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, TRACK 8 "OUT IN THE STREET" CUTS IN JUST BEFORE THE FIRST VERSE BEGINS. TRACK 9 "USED CARS" HAS SOME MIC ADJUSTING DURING THE INTO STORY ONLY. THE BRUCEBASE INDICATES THAT "I'M ON FIRE" SHOULD BE TRACK 10 WHERE THIS RECORDING HAS "I'M GOING DOWN", THE LACK OF ANY BAD EDITS ON EITHER END OF TRACK 10 LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE BRUCEBASE IS IN ERROR. DISC TWO: TRACKS 1 & 2 ARE THE INTRO SPEECH TO "MY HOMETOWN", TRACK 3 IS THE SONG ITSELF. ROUGH EDIT FROM 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 4-5 (INTERMISSION), NO MUSIC AFFECTED. "I'M ON FIRE" SHOWS UP WHERE THE BRUCEBASE HAD "I'M GOING DOWN". BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 10-11, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 12 "BOBBY JEAN" IS AN UNLISTENABLE MESS OF STATIC NOISE.

C21–SEPTEMBER 30, 1987 "BLACK AND WHITE NIGHT-A TRIBUTE TO ROY OBRISON" COCONUT GROVE, LOS ANGELES, CA 1 CDR

SOUND IS A SUPERB SOUNDBOARD SOURCE (ONE CHANNEL ONLY. DISC IS CLEAN. SET LIST: ONLY THE LONELY, DREAM BABY (HOW LONG MUST I DREAM), OOBY DOOBY, LEAH, RUNNING SCARED, UPTOWN, IN DREAMS, CRYING, CANDY MAN, MOVE ON DOWN THE LINE, MEAN WOMAN BLUES, IT'S OVER, OH, PRETTY WOMAN, (ALL I CAN DO IS) DREAM YOU. FEW EARLY ROCKERS WERE MORE GIFTED OR LESS HONORED IN THEIR PRIME THAN THE LATE ROY ORBISON, WHOSE VAULTING TENOR AND VULNERABLE LOVE SONGS CONJURED HEARTBREAK AND DESIRE WITH OPERATIC INTENSITY. THIS 1987 CONCERT SPECIAL, ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON SHOWTIME, CAME TWO DECADES AFTER ORBISON HAD RETREATED FROM POP'S FRONT LINES, YET NEITHER ORBISON NOR HIS MUSIC COASTS ON MERE NOSTALGIA: IN EVERY RESPECT, A BLACK AND WHITE NIGHT SURVIVES AS A TRIUMPHANT PERFORMANCE AND A SUPERB VIDEO PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS A FIRST-RATE RETROSPECTIVE OF ORBISON'S HITS. FILMED IN BLACK AND WHITE AGAINST THE STREAMLINED ART DECO STAGE OF THE SINCE-DEMOLISHED COCONUT GROVE IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, THE CONCERT IS BUOYED BY A REMARKABLE CAST OF A-LIST ORBISON FANS WHO SIGNED ON AS HIS ACCOMPANISTS. UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PRODUCER T-BONE BURNETT, THE STAGE BAND THUS INCLUDES JACKSON BROWNE, BURNETT, ELVIS COSTELLO, K.D. LANG, BONNIE RAITT, J.D. SOUTHER, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, TOM WAITS, TOM PETTY AND JENNIFER WARNES, ALONG WITH THE RHYTHM SECTION FROM ELVIS PRESLEY'S FABLED LATE '60S AND EARLY '70S TOURING BAND. THAT ASTONISHING LINEUP IS ALL THE MORE NOTEWORTHY FOR THE RESTRAINT WITH WHICH THEY COLLABORATE--IT'S EVIDENT THAT THOSE SUPERSTARS CAME TO HONOR ORBISON, NOT UPSTAGE HIM, RESULTING IN A GRATIFYING COHESION TO THE PERFORMANCES. ORBISON HIMSELF SOUNDS AS POWERFUL AS EVER, HIS SOARING FALSETTO CRESTING AS DRAMATICALLY AS IT DID ON THE STUDIO VERSIONS OF THE HITS THAT INEVITABLY DOMINATE. THOSE SONGS MEANWHILE CONFIRM THAT HIS BLUE CHIP ADMIRATION SOCIETY CAME AS MUCH FOR THE CALIBER OF HIS WRITING AS FOR HIS RAVISHING VOICE: IF HE REMAINS BEST KNOWN FOR THE JAUNTY COME-ON OF "PRETTY WOMAN", ORBISON WAS FIRST AND FOREMOST A ROCK BALLADEER, CAPABLE OF BRINGING LUMPS TO OUR THROATS WITH SUCH CLASSICS AS "CRYING" AND "ONLY THE LONELY," OR CONJURING ROMANTIC TRANCES THROUGH SUCH GENTLE CHARMERS AS "DREAM BABY." ON THIS NIGHT, HE HANDLED ALL OF THEM WITH FERVOR AND FINESSE (FROM AMAZON.COM)

BUT THIS RECORDING CONTAINS "VIGILANTE MAN" WHICH WAS ONLY PLAYED AT THE 5/23/88 CONCERT. THE LACK OF BAD EDITS AROUND EITHER OF THESE SONGS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE BRUCEBASE IS IN ERROR AND IN FACT "ACROSS THE BORDERLINE" WAS PLAYED AND NOT "BACKSTREETS" AS INDICATED. TRACK 13 "LIGHT OF DAY" CONTAINS A COUPLE VERSES OF "BORN TO BE WILD". DISC THREE: THIS DISC HAS A COUPLE OF ROUGH EDITS AROUND THE ENCORES BUT NOTHING TO RAISE A FUSS OVER.

THIS SHOW IS BROADCAST ON GERMAN TELEVISION IN ALMOST IT'S ENTIRETY - OUT IN THE STREET AND PROMISED LAND MAKE TOL TOUR DEBUTS - BORN TO RUN IS FULL BAND FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE TOUR. THIS RECORDING APPEARS TO BE A COMBINATION OF TWO SOURCES, THE EAST GERMAN TELEVISION VIDEO FEED AND AN AUDIENCE TAPE. THE VIDEO FEED HAS SUPERB SOUND. THE AUDIENCE TAPE HAS GOOD SOUND BUT IS PLAGUED BY PEOPLE TALKING NEAR THE TAPER. THE TRANSITIONS FROM VIDEO FEED TO AUDIENCE TAPE ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO DOCUMENT. THE BRUCEBASE MENTIONS THAT EAST GERMAN TV CENSORED BRUCE SEVERAL TIMES, THIS ACCOUNTS FOR SOME OF THE TRANSITIONS FROM THE VIDEO FEED SOURCE TO THE AUDIENCE TAPE SOURCE. IF YOU REQUEST THIS SHOW IN TRADE PLEASE ACCEPT THE TRANSITIONS FROM THE TWO SOURCES ARE RAMPANT THROUGHOUT ALL THREE DISCS AND ARE NOT ALWAYS DONE AS GOOD AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN.

C15 - SEPTEMBER 2, 1988 “UNTITLED” WEMBLEY STADIUM, LONDON 1 CDR

SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER INTER-SONG EDITS WHICH ARE ROUGH, BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. TRACKS 14 AND 15 "CHIMES OF FREEDOM" AND "GET UP STAND UP" FEATURE ALL OF THE AMNESTY TOUR TALENT, BRUCE’S ROLE IN THESE TWO SONGS IS MINOR. THE LAST TWO TRACKS HAVE ROUGH EDITS BETWEEN THEM.

C10 - SEPTEMBER 4, 1988 “HUMAN RIGHTS IN PARIS VOL. 1” PALAIS OMNISPORTS BERCY, PARIS, FRANCE 1 DISC

SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: STING JOINS BRUCE ON STAGE FOR CO-LEAD VOCALS ON TRACK 4 "THE RIVER". TRACK 14 "GETUP STAND UP" SKIPS BADLY FROM 2:45 TO THE END OF THE TRACK. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C2 – SEPTEMBER 10, 1988 “CHIMES OF FREEDOM” CAMP NOU STADIUM, BARCELONA, SPAIN 1 CDR

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

C18 - SEPTEMBER 15, 1988 “TORONTO ‘88” MAPLE LEAF GARDENS, TORONTO, ONTARIO 1 CDR

C13 - SEP. 17, 1988 "MONTREAL AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" OLYMPIC STADIUM, MONTREAL, QUEBEC 2CDR’S

NOTES: NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS BUT IT MAY BE ANOTHER COMPRESSED SOURCE.

NOTES: JUNGLELAND IS PLAYED FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND LAST UNTIL THE 1999 REUNION TOUR. SOUND IS GOOD+

(DISTORTS A BIT AT TIMES). DISC ONE: STING JOINS BRUCE FOR CO-VOCALS ON "THE RIVER". SLIGHT POP FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. ACCORDING TO THE BRUCEBASE, THE LAST TWO TRACKS PERFORMED AT THIS CONCERT "CHIMES OF FREEDOM" AND "GET UP STAND UP" ARE NOT PART OF THIS RECORDING, MAKING IT INCOMPLETE. IT MUST BE NOTED HOWEVER, THAT BRUCE'S INVOLVEMENT IN THESE LAST TWO TRACKS IS INCIDENTAL AT BEST.

C5 - SEPTEMBER 23, 1988 "HUMAN RIGHTS NOW" 2CDR’S COLISEUM OAKLAND, CA

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL TOUR-FEATURES A SLIGHTLY RE-ARRANGED VERSION OF TUNNEL OF LOVE AND A BRILLIANT VERSION OF “I AIN'T GOT NO HOME” PERFORMED ACOUSTICALLY. EXCELLENT SOUNDING AUDIENCE TAPE.

C11 - OCTOBER 3, 1988 “UNTITLED” NEW OLYMPIC STADIUM, ATHENS, GREECE 1 CDR

FIRST (AND ONLY...SO FAR) PERFORMANCE OF BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND IN GREECE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS RECORDING IS IMPACTED BY VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS AND HIGH CROWD NOISE THROUGHOUT. SOUND IS AVERAGE /AVERAGE- (AS NOTED, ALSO VERY "TINNY"). IT ALSO APPEARS THAT EITHER THE BRUCEBASE IS WRONG OR AT SOME POINT, A FEW SONGS FROM THE 10/7/88 PERFORMANCE WERE INSERTED INTO THIS SHOW. THE ATHENS PORTIONS OF THIS RECORDING ARE INCOMPLETE AS "GLORY DAYS", "CHIMES OF FREEDOM" AND "GET UP STAND UP" HAVE BEEN OMITTED BY OTHERS. DISC ONE: THE FIRST 1:00 OF TRACK 1 "BORN IN THE USA" HAS VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS. THE FIRST :18 OF TRACK 4 "I'M ON FIRE" IS A MESS OF CRACKLES AND POPS.

C9 - SEPTEMBER 25, 1992 “RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' MAN “ LOS ANGELES SPORTS ARENA LOS ANGELES, CA. 3CDR’S

THE FIRST FOUR TRACKS OF THIS RECORDING ARE, IN MY OPINION, NOT FROM 9/25/92 THEY ARE MOST LIKELY FROM 9/24/92 OR 9/28/92. I BELIEVE THIS FOR TWO REASONS: 1. BOTH THE "BRUCEBASE" AND "BRUCELEGS 4.0" INDICATE THAT THE 4TH SONG PERFORMED WAS "ATLANTIC CITY". IN THIS RECORDING THE 4TH SONG PERFORMED IS "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN" WHICH WAS THE 4TH SONG PERFORMED ON BOTH 9/24 AND 9/28. #2. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS EDIT BETWEEN TRACKS 4-5 WHICH FURTHER PROVES THAT THE FIRST FOUR SONGS ARE INDEED FROM ANOTHER CONCERT. IF THAT IS THE CASE, "ATLANTIC CITY" HAS BEEN OMITTED MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING. SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "BETTER DAYS" HAVE VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS FOR THE FIRST 2:00. DISC TWO: CLEAN EXCEPT FOR "LIGHT OF DAY" WHICH HAS BEEN INEXPLICABLY BROKEN UP INTO 3 SEPARATE TRACKS (I.E. 8-10) DISC THREE: CONCERT IS CLEAN.

THE EQUIPMENT USED TO RECORD THIS SHOW WAS EITHER WOEFULLY INADEQUATE OF THE TAPER WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE THE EPISODES OF EDITS, WARPS AND OTHER MISHAPS ARE FAR TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST THEM ALL. ONLY MAJOR ONES ARE DOCUMENTED. ALL DISCS HAVE SLIGHT TO MODERATE BACKGROUND STATIC POPPING CAUSED, I BELIEVE, BY A RECORDING MIC THAT WAS HEAVILY OVERLOADED. TRACK 1 BEGINS WITH "SPOOKY" ORGAN MUSIC OVER THE PA BEFORE BRUCE TAKES THE STAGE. BRUCE CONTINUES TO SING "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" WITH THE "SPOOKY" ORGAN MUSIC AS THE BACKING TRACK.

C3 - APRIL 26, 2000 "STEEL CITY NIGHT 2" 3CDR’S CIVIC CENTER PITTSBURGH, PA

SUPERB SOUND. GARRY’S BASS PLAYING REALLY COMES THROUGH ON THIS RECORDING. THIS MUST BE EITHER A DIGITAL OR ALD SOURCE. JOE GRUSHECKY GUESTS ON HUNGRY HEART.

LOTS OF CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE "AMERICAN SKIN" TRACK - SO BRUCE PLAYS IT ANYWAY. BRAND NEW TRACK, WRITTEN BY JOE GRUSHECKY, TO OPEN THE SHOW AND THE SECOND RUN THROUGH OF FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD IN THE SET. SOUND IS AVERAGE+. I AM ONCE AGAIN SHOCKED, APPALLED AND ANGERED BY A NYC CROWDS INSENSITIVITY, CALLOUSNESS AND ABSOLUTELY RUDE BEHAVIOR DURING THE QUIET PASSAGES OF THIS CONCERT. THEIR CHATTING, WHISTLING AND GENERAL BOORISHNESS DURING THESE WONDERFUL SEGMENTS IS SHAMEFUL INDEED. THEY ACTUALLY BOOED DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF "AMERICAN SKIN"!

I'M SORRY IF THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT...BUT IMHO, THIS PARTICULAR NEW YORK CROWD WERE BEING REAL JERKS DURING THE QUIET SONGS, THEIR CEASELESS, INSIPID CHATTER THROUGHOUT THESE SONGS IS SHAMEFUL. DISC IS CLEAN DISC THREE: CLEAN

NOTES: ANOTHER AFTERNOON SHOW, AND ANOTHER REHEARSAL-- AS SPRINGSTEEN STATED CLEARLY BEFOREHAND, IN GREETING THE AUDIENCE OF RADIO CONTEST WINNERS-- BUT LONGER THAN ON JULY 25, WITH MORE OF A REAL-SHOW STRUCTURE. SAME STAGE SETUP AS THE REUNION TOUR, WITH NEW ADDITION SOOZIE TYRELL TAKING HER POSITION BETWEEN GARY TALLENT AND ROY'S PIANO, ON STAGE FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW. "INTO THE FIRE" FEATURES CLARENCE ON BAGPIPES. SPRINGSTEEN PLAYS AN ELECTRIC 12-STRING ON "THE FUSE." SAMPLES CROP UP HERE AND THERE, TRIGGERED BY ROY (HORNS ON "MARY'S PLACE," VOCALS ON "WORLDS APART"). "GLORY DAYS" APPEARS AFTER LENGTHY ABSENCE, AS DOES THE FULL-BAND ELECTRIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A." CAMERA CREWS WERE PRESENT TO FILM THE SHOW, AND "THE RISING" BOTH OPENS AND CLOSES THE REHEARSAL FOR THEIR SAKE. SOUND IS GOOD/GOOD+ (LOW RECORDING VOLUME, SOUND IS A BIT THIN). CONCERT CUTS IN JUST AFTER THE GUITAR SOLO IN "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" WHICH INDICATES THAT BOTH OPENING SONGS "THE RISING " AND "LONESOME DAY" WERE OMITTED BY OTHERS, MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C14 - JULY 30, 2002 “PEOPLE GET READY” CONVENTION CENTER ASBURY PARK, NJ 2CDR’S

NOTES: THIS RECORDING DOCUMENTS THE EVENING PERFORMANCE ON 7/30/02 ONLY. SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND CONTINUE TO WORK IT ALL OUT IN ANOTHER DRESS REHEARSAL IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE OF FANS. THE SET INCLUDES THE LONG-ABSENT "COVER ME," AND THE LIVE PREMIERE OF "PARADISE." KILLER SETLIST AND ALL REPORTS SAY THE CONCERT WAS GOOD TOO. AMERICAN SKIN PLAYED IN A SHORTENED VERSION AND INTO THE FIRE WAS SCHEDULED BEFORE BORN IN THE USA BUT CLARENCE KNOCKED OVER ALL THE MICROPHONE STANDS SO IT MOVED TO AFTER BORN WITH NO BAGPIPES INTRO. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN

AUGUST 1, 2002 ED SULLIVAN THEATRE, NEW YORK, NY

C16 - AUGUST 2, 2002 ASBURY PARK, NJ CONVENTION HALL 2CDR’S

NOTES: WITH THE TOUR OPENER JUST A COUPLE DAYS AWAY, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND HELD A DRESS REHEARSAL AT THE EAST RUTHERFORD SITE OF THE TOUR KICK-OFF. TICKETS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO VIPS AND TO FOODBANK SUPPORTERS, AND ROUGHLY 200 FANS WHO WAITED OUTSIDE (THOUGH NOT NEARLY ALL OF THEM) WERE LET IN AS WELL. THE MEADOWLANDS VENUE WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO CAPACITY FOR THIS TRIAL RUN, BUT SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND PLAYED A FULL 21-SONG SHOW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: TRACK 13 "THE PROMISED LAND" CUTS JUST AS THE CLOSING NOTES ARE FADING OUT. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. THIS RECORDING IS NOT MP3 SOURCED PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. MY WIFE TURNED 32 THE DAY OF THIS SHOW.

C15 - AUGUST 7, 2002 “DREAM OF LIFE” E. RUTHERFORD, NJ 2CDR’S

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA NOTES: "IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO OPEN IN THE GARDEN STATE" SAYS BRUCE, KICKING OFF THE TOUR WITH A TWO-AND-A-HALF HOUR SHOW. "LIKE MOST INAUGURAL SHOWS IN ANY ROCK TOUR, THIS ONE WAS FAT WITH MATERIAL AND POORLY PACED, THE PERFORMANCE FAILING TO GAIN MOMENTUM LIKE THE ENTHRALLING, TRANSCENDENT CONCERTS OF OLD THAT MADE SPRINGSTEEN ROCK'S MOST VITAL AND EXCITING PERFORMER...." A REVIEW OF THE 2002 TOUR KICK-OFF? NOPE, THAT WAS CRITIC JON BREAM WRITING ABOUT THE JUNE 29 BORN IN THE USA TOUR OPENER WAY BACK IN 1984-- BUT IT COULD EASILY APPLY TO THE FIRST RISING SHOW, 18 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. OPENING NIGHT IS NEVER THE SMOOTHEST OF RIDES, AND AS WITH PREVIOUS TOUR OPENERS LIKE BARCELONA '99, WORCESTER '88, AND ST. PAUL '84, THE 8/7/02 JERSEY SHOW WAS RAGGED, SUFFERING FROM SOUND PROBLEMS AND POOR PACING. NEW MATERIAL WITH GREAT LIVE POTENTIAL, LIKE "THE RISING" AND "WORLDS APART," HAS COME A LONG WAY IN REHEARSALS, BUT HAS YET TO BE NAILED. A BIG WELCOME BACK TO THE FULL-BAND "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," AND WATCH FOR NILS' FIERY GUITAR WORK TO LIGHT "THE FUSE." IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT AFTER THE SECOND BORN IN THE U.S.A. SHOW, BREAM WROTE THAT BRUCE "RECLAIMED HIS TITLE AS THE MOST VITAL AND EXCITING PERFORMER IN ROCK 'N' ROLL." IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING (TO SAY THE LEAST) TO WATCH SPRINGSTEEN REFINE THE SHOW AND THE BAND GET COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE WITH THE NEW MATERIAL AS THE RISING TOUR CONTINUES. SO EXPECT THIS TRAIN TO PICK UP STEAM-- RIGHT NOW THE BEST NEWS IS THAT IT'S ROLLING AGAIN. TOUR KICKS OFF WITH NO REAL SURPRISES GIVEN THE REHEARSAL SHOWS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 IS JUST THE AUDIENCE RESPONDING TO THE BANDS ARRIVAL ON STAGE. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C16 - AUGUST 10, 2002 WASHINGTON, DC MCI CENTER 2CDR’S

NOTES: THE SECOND SHOW OF THE TOUR WAS IN D.C., WHERE, IN SPRINGSTEEN'S WORDS, "THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF PURIFYING AND EXPUNGING TO BE DONE." PURIFY AND EXPUNGE THEY DID, WITH AN INTENSE PERFORMANCE THAT DID OUR HEARTS GOOD AFTER A ROUGH START IN JERSEY. ENERGY WAS HIGH, THE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD WAS ATTENTIVE IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS, AND EFFORT WAS CLEARLY MADE TO IMPROVE THE PACING OF THE SHOW. NOTABLY STREAMLINED WERE "WORLDS APART," STILL COMING ALONG, AND "MARY'S PLACE." THE SETLIST DOESN'T QUITE TELL THE STORY, WITH JUST A FEW TWEAKS FROM OPENING NIGHT (INCLUDING THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "BOBBY JEAN,") BUT THE EXPUNGING OF "TWO HEARTS" AND REORDERING OF THE ENCORES WENT A CONSIDERABLE WAY TOWARD PURIFYING THE SHOW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD- (A BIT "TINNY" SOUNDING). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C15 - AUGUST 12, 2002 “I’M IMPRESSED” NEW YORK CITY, NY 2CDR’S

NOTES: DURING THE WHOLE 1999-2000 TOUR, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND NEVER PLAYED THE SAME SETLIST TWICE. THAT STREAK HAS COME TO AN END; SHOWS 2 AND 3 OF THE RISING TOUR HAD EXACTLY THE SAME SONGS IN EXACTLY THE SAME ORDER. SOUND IS GOOD+/GOOD (MODERATELY DISTANT AND THIN/DISTORTED SOUNDING PERIODICALLY). LOTS OF TYPICAL NEW YORK TALKERS DURING THE QUIETER SONGS. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C17 - AUGUST 12, 2002 “UNTITLED” NEW YORK CITY, NY 2CDR’S

THE TRADER WHO I GOT THIS FROM INDICATED THAT THE SOURCE OF THIS RECORDING IS DANNY'S EARPIECE SOUND MONITOR. THE SOUND IS A SUPERB+ WITH THE FOLLOWING PROVISION: THE RECORDING IS DEFINITELY "WEIGHTED" TO WHAT DANNY HEARS DURING A TYPICAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS CERTAINLY NOT WHAT THE AUDIENCE HEARS. THE MOST PROMINENT SOUND HEARD IS DANNY’S KEYBOARDS FOLLOWED BY: (IN DESCENDING ORDER) ROY, MAX, GARY, CLARENCE, BRUCE (VOCALS, HARMONICA), BRUCE (GUITAR), SOOZIE, NILS, STEVE, PATTI. BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE LATTER THREE MUSICIANS, THEY ARE BARELY, IF AT ALL, HEARD. DISC ONE: ALL TRACKS HAVE AT LEAST 1 STATIC SNAP SOMETIMES AS MANY AS FIVE. DISC TWO: SAME COMMENTS AS DISC ONE.

C10 - AUGUST 14, 2002 “UNTITLED” CLEVELAND, OHIO GUND ARENA

NOTES: THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. THE FIRST SHOW AFTER "THE BIG THREE" FOUND THE ARENA NOT FULL TO CAPACITY, WITH LAST-MINUTE TICKETS PLENTIFUL OUTSIDE THE VENUE. NOT THAT THE CROWD WASN'T ENTHUSIASTIC; KAL ZUCKER TELLS US: "THE FANS WERE SURPRISINGLY GOOD -- THEY SEEMED TO KEEP UP WELL WITH THE NEW SONGS, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF US WERE ON OUR FEET FOR 95+% OF THE SHOW (AND I'M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE STANDING ROOM ONLY FLOOR)." IF SPRINGSTEEN ISN'T VARYING THE SET AT THE MOMENT, HE'S AT LEAST FINDING DIFFERENT WAYS TO SHUSH THE CROWD WHEN HE NEEDS QUIET. THIS BEFORE EMPTY SKY: "YOU CAN EXTOL MY GLORIES LATER...." AS WITH THE PREVIOUS TWO SHOWS, SPRINGSTEEN DELIVERED A CAUTIONARY SPEECH ABOUT CIVIL LIBERTIES BEFORE THE FULL-BAND ELECTRIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A.” 10:36 AND A TAPE WARP @ 11:24, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 4-5 (ENCORE). GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 7-8 (2ND ENCORE)

C16 - AUGUST 15, 2002 “RISING IN DETROIT” AUBURN HILLS 2CDR’S

NOTES: THE MOTOR CITY GOT A MOTOWN SNIPPET, "DANCING IN THE STREETS," BEFORE MARY'S PLACE. OTHERWISE THE STANDARD SET. SETLIST: SAME AS 8/10, 8/12, AND 8/14. SOUND IS VERY GOOD-. DISC ONE: TRACK 12 "BOBBY JEAN" HAS A PATCH OF TAPER NOISE FROM 3:25-3:27. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "MARY'S PLACE" CUTS IN DURING THE OPENING MUSIC, NO LYRICS AFFECTED.

C15 - AUGUST 18, 2002 “VIVA LAS VEGAS” 2CDR’S

NOTES: VIVA LA DIFFERENCE! "VIVA LAS VEGAS" MAKES AN APPEARANCE IN THE FIRST ENCORE. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD- (A BIT "DISTANT" AND "ECHOEY" SOUNDING). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "MARY'S PLACE" CUTS IN DURING THE INTRODUCTORY RAP, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C15 - AUGUST 20, 2002 “ HIDING ON THE BACKSTREETS OF PORTLAND” PORTLAND, OR, ROSE GARDEN 2CDR’S

NOTES: I WAS THERE!! THE SETLIST GETS A BIT OF A SHAKE-UP AS "ATLANTIC CITY" REPLACES "DARKNESS" AND "BACKSTREETS" STANDS IN FOR "AMERICAN SKIN." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: DISC IS CLEAN OTHER THAN THOSE SITTING NEAR THE TAPER LOUD SCREAMING (ONLY WHERE APPROPRIATE!) TEND TO OVER MODULATE THE RECORDING A BIT. DISC TWO: SAME COMMENT AS DISC ONE.

C15 - AUGUST 21, 2002 “RAMRODDIN’ IN TACOMA” TACOMA, WA , TACOMA DOME 2CDR’S

NOTES: I WAS THERE!! WHOA. A "ROCK" VERSION OF "DANCING IN THE DARK." OH, AND SEATTLE GOT "RAMROD" TOO. BRUCE REMEMBERED HIS BOUT WITH THE FLU IN 1984 - "I SPENT A WEEK HERE ONE NIGHT. I WAS SO SICK. BUT IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!" SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADES FROM TRACKS 4-5 & 7-8 TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE DELETION OF THE PRE-ENCORE(S) APPLAUSE. DISC IS CLEAN.

C16 - AUGUST 24, 2002 THE FORUM, LOS ANGELES, CA 2CDR’S

NOTES: MIXING SOME OF THE MORE UNUSUAL ELEMENTS FROM THE RECENT PORTLAND AND TACOMA SHOWS, L.A. BROUGHT THE BEST OF THE NORTHWEST, WITH "ATLANTIC CITY" IN THE MAIN SET AND "DANCING IN THE DARK" AND "RAMROD" OPENING THE ENCORES.. THIS RECORDING MAY BE AN MP3 OR OTHER COMPRESSED SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS GOOD-. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 5-6 (ENCORE APPLAUSE) BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 8-9, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C16 - AUGUST 25, 2002 “RISING UP IN ARIZONA” PHOENIX, AZ AMERICA WEST 2CDR’S

NOTES: "DANCING IN THE DARK" STAYS IN THE SET FOR THE THIRD NIGHT IN A ROW, THIS ROCK ARRANGEMENT A VERY WELCOME ADDITION TO THE SHOW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C16 - AUGUST 27, 2002 COMPAQ CENTER, SAN JOSE, CA 2CDR’S

NOTES: BRUCE IS STILL SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT PLACE FOR "THUNDER ROAD"-- TONIGHT IT KICKS OFF A FOUR-SONG SECOND ENCORE. THE FIRST ENCORE, MEANWHILE, CONTINUES TO DRIVE 'EM WILD WITH THE ONE-TWO PUNCH OF THE ROCKED-UP "DANCING IN THE DARK" AND "RAMROD." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: THIS DISC HAS SLIGHT TO MODERATE VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT THE FIRST 4 TRACKS. THERE ARE SOME ANNOYING ASSES IN THE AUDIENCE YELLING LOUDLY THROUGHOUT BOTH "EMPTY SKY" AND "YOUR MISSING" THEY NEED TO BE FLAYED ALIVE AND THEN DIPPED IN ACID, THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME SCREAMING FOR A PURPOSE. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 29, 2002 “WE’RE ON BOSS TV!” NEW YORK, NY ROSE CENTER 1 CDR'S

NOTES: NOTES: NOT A TOUR STOP PER SE, BUT A SUPRISINGLY LONG SET IN NYC, DESPITE THE RAIN. INTRODUCED BY JAMES GANDOLFINI, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND OPENED THIS YEAR'S VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS WITH A LIVE PERFORMANCE OF "THE RISING." BRUCE'S VMA OPENING WAS BROADCAST FROM THE ROSE CENTER FOR EARTH AND SPACE, THE PLANETARIUM AT THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. THE MTV CAMERAS THEN TOOK THE PROCEEDINGS TO RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL, BUT FANS WHO ENDURED THE RAIN AT THE PLANETARIUM WERE TREATED TO HALF OF A TYPICAL RISING SHOW. BRUCE AND THE BAND BEGAN THE EVENING'S HOUR-AND-15-MINUTE PERFORMANCE WITH TWO TAKES OF THE RISING-- ONE TO WARM UP, FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR THE CAMERAS--AND THAT WAS IN ADDITION TO RUNNING THROUGH THE SONG SEVERAL TIMES AT THE AFTERNOON SOUNDCHECK. OPEN AIR CONCERT BROADCAST LIVE BY MTV FROM THE PLANETARIUM, NYC. THE BAND SOUNDCHECK THE RISING 3 TIMES BEFORE THE ACTUAL BROADCAST, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY ONLY THE OPENING TRACK - THE BAND THEN WENT ON TO PERFORM THE ABOVE CONCERT THROUGH THE DRIVING RAIN. SOUND IS SUPERB SOUNDBOARD SOURCE. DISC IS CLEAN.

C16 - AUGUST 30, 2002 "ST. LOUIS RISING" ST. LOUIS, MO. SAVVIS CENTER

NOTES: BRUCE WINDS UP THE AUGUST SEGMENT WITH A TOUR PREMIERE, "DOWN BOUND TRAIN" TAKING THE POST-"FUSE" SLOT. "GLORY DAYS" BACK IN THE ENCORES (IN PLACE OF "RAMROD") MAKES FOR FIVE SONGS FROM THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. ALBUM IN ST. LOUIS. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN

C16 - SEPTEMBER 22, 2002 DENVER, CO PEPSI CENTER 2CDR’S

NOTES: ON HIS BIRTHDAY EVE, SPRINGSTEEN COMES ROARING BACK AFTER A THREE WEEK BREAK WITH FOUR TOUR PREMIERES: "THE TIES THAT BIND," "CANDY'S ROOM," "RACING IN THE STREET," AND-- FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. TOUR-- "I'M A ROCKER." “TWO HEARTS" COMES BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE OPENING NIGHT, THOUGH IN A DIFFERENT POSITION. "THUNDER ROAD" FINALLY LEAVES THE SET ALTOGETHER. THIS RECORDING MAY BE AN MP3 OR OTHER COMPRESSED SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS, LIKELY IT IS MINI-DISC SOURCED. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 8-9, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C16 - SEPTEMBER 24, 2002 / KANSAS CITY, MO / KEMPER ARENA

NOTES: MAYBE IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY THAT BRINGS IT OUT IN BRUCE. IF SO, CAN WE GET HIM SOME MORE BIRTHDAYS? THE BAND'S SECOND SHOW OF SEPTEMBER BRINGS FIVE TOUR PREMIERES, FOR A TOTAL OF NINE NEW SONGS ADDED TO THE ROTATION BETWEEN DENVER AND KANSAS CITY ALONE. INCLUDES THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "NIGHT," "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT”, "SHE'S THE ONE," A SOLO PIANO "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET," AND A DIFFERENT SHOW-CLOSER FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS TOUR, "GOIN' TO KANSAS CITY." SO THE BASIC STRUCTURE MAY BE STAYING THE SAME, BUT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE OPENING UP BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. (AND HEY, "LONESOME DAY" FOLLOWED BY "NIGHT" IS HOW OUR "DREAM SETLIST" STARTS OFF-- WONDER IF BRUCE READS THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES?). SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINOR VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS NEAR THE END OF THE DISC. DISC TWO: THE FIRST TRACK "MARY'S PLACE" HAS A COUPLE OF MINOR VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS. DISC THREE: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 1-2. TRACK 1 "KANSAS CITY" HAS BEEN RESEQUENCED FROM THE LAST TRACK OF THE NIGHT TO THE FIRST TRACK OF THE ENCORES. TRACK 1 FEATURES "THE MYSTERIOUS JON LANDAU" ON RHYTHM GUITAR.

C13 - SEPTEMBER 25, 2002 “WINDY CITY RISING” CHICAGO, IL UNITED CENTER 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE FIRST SPECIAL GUEST OF THE TOUR, AS THE ENCORES BRING EDDIE VEDDER TO THE STAGE FOR A "MY HOMETOWN" DUET. "JACKSON CAGE" FINALLY MAKES IT TO THE TOUR PROPER (AND, ALONG WITH "THE TIES THAT BIND," MAKES FOR TWO RIVER SONGS IN THE FIRST FIVE SLOTS). "SHE'S THE ONE" IS IN THE SET FOR THE SECOND NIGHT RUNNING, AS IS A SOLO-PIANO SLOT: IN KC IT WAS "INCIDENT," IN CHICAGO IT'S "FOR YOU." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C11 - SEPTEMBER 27, 2002 “MILWAUKEE RISING” MILWAUKEE, WI BRADLEY CENTER 3CDR’S

NOTES: MILWAUKEE GOT THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "NO SURRENDER" AND "MARY QUEEN OF ARKANSAS" (PERFORMED SOLO, WITH HARMONICA AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR), PLUS THE RARE "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT." BUT THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT CAME AT THE END. AFTER "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS," IT SEEMED TO BE TIME TO GO, AS USUAL-- THEN SPRINGSTEEN SAID, "WELL, I GUESS I GOT A LITTLE BIT LEFT." LIKE "KANSAS CITY" A FEW DAYS AGO, IT WAS A LOCAL SPECIAL: WITH MEMORIES OF THE MILWAUKEE '75 "BOMB SCARE" SHOW SURELY DANCING IN THEIR HEADS, BRUCE AND THE BAND LAUNCHED INTO AN EXTENDED JAM ON CHUCK BERRY'S "LITTLE QUEENIE." BRUCE STILL REMEMBERS HIS HISTORY-- IT'S THE SAME SONG THEY RETURNED TO THE UPTOWN THEATER STAGE WITH BACK ON 10/2/75 AFTER WAITING OUT THE BOMB SCARE IN A HOTEL BAR, WHEN BRUCE ASKED THE ETERNAL QUESTION, "ARE YOU LOOSE?" BRUCE AND THE BAND LAST COVERED THE SONG IN PHILLY ON 9/21/99. SOUND IS SUPERB. MOST TRACKS ON ALL THREE DISCS HAVE A SPLIT SECOND CLICK AT THE TRACK TRANSITION POINT. THIS INDICATES THAT THIS RECORDING HAS A COMPRESSED SOURCE SUCH AS MINIDISK. DISC ONE: CLEAN, EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC TWO: THERE IS A SLIGHT EDIT DURING TRACK 7 AT ABOUT 8:10. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECORDER OF THIS SHOW STOPPED RECORDING FOR A BIT DURING THE PRE-ENCORE APPLAUSE, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC THREE: TRACK 3 "LOHAD" HAS A POP @ 4:31. TRACK 5 IS A BONUS TRACK OF "LITTLE QUEENIE" FROM 10/2/75 THE "MILWAUKEE BOMB SCARE SHOW"

C16 - SEPTEMBER 29, 2002 FARGO, ND FARGODOME 3CDR’S

NOTES: FARGO GETS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" AND "NIGHT" FINDS ITS WAY BACK IN THE SET. SOUND IS VERY GOOD, THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: BONUS TRACKS BEGIN WITH TRACK 5. THEY ARE (IN ORDER): "NOTHING MAN" (9/30), "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD" (9/30), "RACING IN THE STREET" (9/30), "NO SURRENDER" (9/30) ALL BONUS TRACKS HAVE VERY GOOD SOUND AND ARE EDITED TOGETHER WELL.

C16 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 ST. PAUL, MN XCEL ENERGY CENTER 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE TWIN CITIES CATCH THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD" AND "NOTHING MAN." THAT LEAVES "LET'S BE FRIENDS" AND "PARADISE" AS THE ONLY TWO SONGS FROM "THE RISING" NOT YET PERFORMED ON THE TOUR. "THE FUSE" GETS A BREAK TONIGHT TO MAKE ROOM FOR "FURTHER." BRUCE ALSO CONTINUES TO TINKER WITH THE END OF THE SHOW, MAKING WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN A LAST MINUTE DECISION TO COME BACK ON FOR A FINAL "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY". SOUND IS GOOD+. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN. 9/30 SHOW ENDS WITH TRACK 5. TRACKS 6-8 ARE FROM 9/29 AND ARE (IN ORDER): “THE TIES THAT BIND”,” NIGHT” AND “WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY”. BONUS TRACKS ARE EDITED TOGETHER VERY WELL

C16 - OCTOBER 4, 2002 / BOSTON, MA FLEET CENTER 2CDR’S
NOTES: BOSTON GETS ITS USUAL HIGH QUALITY SHOW - NOTHING SURPRISING FROM THE RISING, BUT OTHER NICE TOUCHES. "CANDY'S ROOM," "FOR YOU" ON SOLO PIANO, AN EXTRA SONG ("WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY") IN THE FIRST ENCORE. AND BRUCE AND REGULAR BEANTOWN GUEST PETER WOLF FINISHED UP WITH A COVER OF THE ONE-HIT-WONDER STANDELLS'S "DIRTY WATER," A SONG NEAR AND DEAR TO EVERY BOSTONIAN'S HEART. SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C22 - OCTOBER 4, 2002 1 CDR

BRUCE GIVES A SPEECH AND PERFORMS AN ACOUSTIC THUNDER ROAD AT THE ZAKIM BUNKER HILL BRIDGE DEDICATION IN BOSTON. ACTIVIST LENNY ZAKIM WAS A FRIEND OF SPRINGSTEEN’S. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC IS CLEAN.

OCTOBER 5, 2002 “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE 2002” 1 CDR

I HAVE 2 MPG’S OF THE SONGS BRUCE PERFORMED THIS NIGHT, THEY CURRENTLY RESIDE ON MY HARD-DRIVE.

C12 - OCTOBER 6, 2002 PHILADELPHIA, PA FIRST UNION CENTER

NOTES: WELL, ON ONE HAND IT'S NO SURPRISE AT ALL-- YOU JUST KNEW PHILLY WOULD GET THIS KIND OF SHOW. ON THE OTHER HAND, GET READY FOR THIS: "NIGHT," "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD," "DOES THIS BUS STOP," "FOR YOU," "INCIDENT," "KITTY'S BACK" (!).... IT'S AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES. SPRINGSTEEN ALSO CONTINUED THE CITY-SPECIFIC TREATS, WITH THE TOUR DEBUT OF "STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA." BOTH "STREETS" AND "INCIDENT" FEATURE BRUCE SOLO AT THE PIANO, STUNNING! "THE PROMISED LAND" DROPPED OUT OF THE SET FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE TOUR PROPER. SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT SOURCE. DISC ONE: DISC IS FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS! DISC THREE: FLAWLESS!

C14 - OCTOBER 7, 2002 “BUFFALO RISING” BUFFALO, NY HSBC ARENA 3CDR’S

NOTE: RE-MASTERED VERSION (AULD MIX) BY “MR. T”. NOTES: THE INITIAL U.S. LEG WRAPS UP IN STYLE, WITH THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "YOU CAN LOOK," "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" (THE FIRST TUNNEL OF LOVE SONG OF THE TOUR), AND A SOLO-PIANO "LOST IN THE FLOOD." RARITIES LIKE THESE, ALONG WITH AN INCREASINGLY REGULAR POST-"LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" SLOT, AND LATE-LEG ADDITIONS LIKE "FURTHER ON," "NO SURRENDER," AND "SHE'S THE ONE" SHOW HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE AUGUST. BUT EXACTLY TWO MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD FROM OPENING NIGHT, SPRINGSTEEN IS STILL CONSISTENTLY SHOWCASING 11 TUNES PER NIGHT FROM THE RISING. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: (ONE NON-SOUND RELATED NOTE: NILS IS NOW SINGING THE "DREAM OF LIFE" REFRAIN DURING "THE RISING" OUTRO SECTION. VERY COOL!). SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C10 -OCTOBER 14, 2002 PARIS, FRANCE BERCY 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE EUROPEAN JAUNT BEGINS, WITH SPECIAL GUEST ELLIOT MURPHY ONCE AGAIN JOINING THE BOSS IN PARIS, ON "BORN TO RUN." NO EXTRA ENCORE, BUT "BACKSTREETS" RETURNS TO THE SET, AND SPRINGSTEEN TAKES A SOLO TURN ON THE PIANO WITH "MY HOMETOWN." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

AT HOME - OCTOBER 16, 2002 BARCELONA VIDEO APPROX. 1 HOUR.

I RECEIVED THIS IN TRADE FROM THE TV CRITIC FOR THE OREGONIAN NEWSPAPER. ITS DIRECT FROM THE CBS NETWORK AND HAS NO COMMERCIALS. INSTEAD, IT HAS FADE INS AND OUTS WHERE THE COMMERCIALS WERE PLACED BY THE NETWORK.

C18 - OCTOBER 16, 2002 “BARCELONA RISING” PALAU SANT JORDI, BARCELONA 2 CDR’S

NOTES: THIS IS AN AUDIO DUB OF THE MTV BROADCAST ONLY IT IS NOT THE COMPLETE CONCERT. THIS WILL BE REVIEWED

UPON REQUEST ONLY.

C19 - OCTOBER 16, 2002 “BARCELONA RISING” BARCELONA, SPAIN PALAU SANT JORDI 3 CDR’S
NOTES: WITH MTV EUROPE AND VH1-UK AIRING THE FIRST HALF OF THE BARCELONA SHOW LIVE, "DANCING IN THE DARK" IS MOVED TO THE MAIN SET FOR THE FIRST TIME, JUST AFTER "MARY'S PLACE," TO CLOSE OUT THE BROADCAST. FROM THE OPENING "THE RISING" TO "DANCING IN THE DARK," 13 CURRENT TOUR STANDARDS WENT OUT OVER THE EUROPEAN AIRWAVES. (FOR THOSE IN THE U.S., NOTHING IS CURRENTLY SET IN STONE, BUT SOURCE AT VH1 REPORTS SUGGESTS A BROADCAST IS IN THE WORKS FOR DECEMBER.) AFTER "DANCING IN THE DARK," WITH THE CAMERAS OFF, SEVERAL SURPRISES: THE TOUR DEBUT OF "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" FOLLOWED BY "INCIDENT," BOTH SOLO PIANO; "NIGHT" TO OPEN THE FIRST ENCORE; AND THE RETURN OF "THUNDER ROAD" AS A BONUS TO CLOSE THE SHOW. MAIN SET UP TO DANCING IN THE DARK BROADCAST LIVE ON VH1 TO MOST OF EUROPE. SHOW THEN FEATURED A SOLO SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT - WHICH MAY BE A FIRST EVER. SOME OF THE REST OF THE SHOW WAS ALSO BROADCAST ON A RADIO INTERVIEW SHOW. THIS IS A MERGING OF THE MTV EUROPE BROADCAST AUDIO AND AN AUDIENCE TAPE OF SIMILAR QUALITY TO MAKE A "COMPLETE" SHOW. THE RESULTING AVERAGE SOUND QUALITY IS A GOOD+/VERY GOOD- (HIGH TAPE HISS PRESENT DURING QUIET SONGS). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: THIS DISC HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RE-SEQUENCED FROM THE PERFORMANCE ORDER BY OTHERS FOR SOME REASON. THIS RESULTS IN LITTLE EDITS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS BUT NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED BY THIS POOR DECISION. DISC ORDER: "BORN TO RUN", "RAMROD", "NIGHT", "INTO THE FIRE", "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET", "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT", "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE", "DANCING IN THE DARK", "MARY'S PLACE". DISC THREE: SAME RE-SEQUENCING ISSUES AS DISC TWO. DISC ORDER: "THUNDER ROAD", "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS", "BORN IN THE USA", "MY CITY OF RUINS". BOTH DISCS TWO AND THREE ARE OTHERWISE CLEAN.

C15 - OCTOBER 18, 2002 “RISING UP IN ITALY” BOLOGNA, ITALY PALAMALAGUTI 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE FIRST ENCORE STARTED OFF WITH ROY BY HIMSELF ON PIANO, PLAYING WHAT TURNED INTO THE TOUR DEBUT OF "STAND ON IT." OTHER NON-STANDARDS INCLUDE "NIGHT," "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT," "YOU CAN LOOK," "NO SURRENDER," AND A SOLO PIANO "FOR YOU." ELLIOT MURPHY IS TWO FOR THREE ON THE EUROPEAN LEG SO FAR, GUESTING AGAIN ON "BORN TO RUN." OTHER HIGHLIGHTS CAME COURTESY OF THE ENTHUSIASTIC (TO SAY THE LEAST) ITALIAN CROWD-- THEIR SINGING BROUGHT AN EXTENDED "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," AS WELL A SURPRISE ENDING TO THE SHOW. "THUNDER ROAD" WAS ALREADY A BONUS SHOW-CLOSER AFTER "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS." BUT WHEN THE CROWD CONTINUED TO SING THE MELODY TO CLARENCE'S SOLO EVEN AS THE ROADIES WERE BREAKING DOWN THE EQUIPMENT, SPRINGSTEEN CAME BACK ONSTAGE AND ACCOMPANIED THE CROWD ON PIANO FOR AN EXTRA "THUNDER ROAD" CODA. NEXT STOP: SUNDAY NIGHT IN BERLIN. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: THERE ARE MINOR STATIC BURSTS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS ON THIS DISC, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 ENDS THE CONCERT. TRACK 2 IS "YOUR MISSING" FROM THE 2002 SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMANCE. TRACK 3 "EMPTY SKY" SEEMS TO BE THE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE FROM "NIGHTLINE". TRACKS 4-9 "THE RISING", "LONESOME DAY", "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT", "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN", "MY HOMETOWN", "KITTY’S BACK" ARE FROM SEPTEMBER 25, 2002.

C16 - OCTOBER 20, 2002 “BERLIN RISING” BERLIN, GERMANY VELODROM 3CDR’S (2ND COPY IN CASE 16)

NOTES: THE TOUR DEBUT OF "THE PROMISE" IS PERFORMED SOLO PIANO, BACK-TO-BACK WITH "INCIDENT." "NIGHT" TURNS UP IN BETWEEN "SHE'S THE ONE" AND "MARY'S PLACE." OTHER RARITIES IN THE SET INCLUDE "THE TIES THAT BIND" AND "ATLANTIC CITY." SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - OCTOBER 22, 2002 “ROTTERDAM RISING” AHOY, ROTTERDAM 2 CDR’S

NOTES: I TURNED 33 THE NIGHT OF THIS SHOW. THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "THE RIVER," PLAYED SOLO ACOUSTIC FOLLOWING A SOLO PIANO "FOR YOU." "BOBBY JEAN" ALSO RETURNS TO THE SET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE AUGUST. SOUND IS GOOD+ (A BIT THIN SOUNDING). DISC ONE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 13-14, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5 (ENCORE) NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 10 "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" HAS SLIGHT TO MODERATE STATIC SNAPPING FROM 2:45-4:30.

C14 - OCTOBER 24, 2002 “STOCKHOLM RISING” STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN THE GLOBE 3CDR’S
NOTES: SIX WORDS: G, L, O, R, I, A. OKAY, THAT'S ONE WORD. STOCKHOLM BRINGS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "GLORIA," ALONG WITH SUCH RARITIES AS "JACKSON CAGE," "CANDY'S ROOM," AND A DOUBLE-WHAMMY SOLO PIANO SET OF "INCIDENT" AND "FOR YOU.” SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS!. DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!. DISC THREE: FLAWLESS!.

C16 - OCTOBER 27, 2002 “EARLS COURT RISING” EARLS COURT LONDON, ENGLAND 2CDR’S

NOTES: THE FINAL SHOW OF THE 2002 EUROPEAN SWING INCLUDES "JACKSON CAGE," "DOES THIS BUS STOP," AND AN ACOUSTIC "THE RIVER," FEATURING SOOZIE ON VIOLIN, AMONG OTHER RARITIES. WHILE BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS NOW RETURN TO THE STATES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, THE RISING TOUR ISN'T DONE WITH EUROPE YET -- AS BRUCE SAID AT THE END OF THE PAST COUPLE SHOWS, HE'LL "SEE YA IN THE SPRING!". WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING SHOW!! SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: THE "FOOKIN' LOVE YA BRUCE" GUY TURNS UP IN THE BREAK BETWEEN TRACKS 5-6, YEAH! DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. THE STRIPPED DOWN VERSIONS OF "THE RIVER" AND "INCIDENT" ARE PARTICULARLY MOVING. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - NOVEMBER 2, 2002 “LIGHT OF DAY BENEFIT 2002” 1 CDR

NOTES: THE NIGHT BEFORE THE RISING TOUR'S U.S. DATES ARE TO RESUME, SPRINGSTEEN TOOK A BREAK FROM ARENAS TO ROCK A SMALL CLUB FOR A GOOD CAUSE. THE THIRD ANNUAL LIGHT OF DAY BENEFIT HAD ITS THIRD STRAIGHT APPEARANCE FROM SPRINGSTEEN, BRINGING TOGETHER A HOST OF JERSEY-STYLE ROCKERS TO BENEFIT THE PARKINSON'S DISEASE FOUNDATION (AND CELEBRATE ORGANIZER BOB BENJAMIN'S BIRTHDAY WHILE THEY WERE AT IT). SPRINGSTEEN CAME ON AT 10:40 TO PLAY FOR NEARLY AN HOUR WITH JOE GRUSHECKY AND THE HOUSEROCKERS, JOINED BY SEVERAL OTHER GUESTS INCLUDING GARLAND JEFFREYS. IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, HE CAME BACK TO THE STAGE TO PLAY A FEW WITH GARY U.S. BONDS. WITH THE TRADEWINDS SCHEDULED TO CLOSE, THIS WAS THE LAST LIGHT OF DAY BENEFIT TO BE HELD THERE-- BUT WE'LL HOPE IT FINDS A NEW HOME FOR YEARS TO COME. SOUND IS A SUPERB SOUNDBOARD SOURCE. DISC IS CLEAN.

C13 - NOVEMBER 3, 2002 "DALLAS RISING" DALLAS, TX / AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA 2CDR’S
NOTES: BACK IN THE U.S.A., SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND BEGIN THEIR NOVEMBER-DECEMBER SWING. A FIVE-SONG SECOND ENCORE BRINGS SPECIAL GUEST DON HENLEY TO THE STAGE FOR "I FOUGHT THE LAW" (A SONG PLAYED THE SAME NIGHT ON LITTLE STEVEN'S UNDERGROUND GARAGE). AFTER CLOSING MOST SHOWS IN EUROPE, "THUNDER ROAD" DROPS BACK OUT OF THE SET; SPRINGSTEEN PUTS ON A COWBOY HAT FOR "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" INSTEAD AS THE LAST SONG OF THE NIGHT. THE BIGGEST OMISSION: "WORLDS APART" ISN'T PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE TOUR, REPLACED BY "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)." RELATIVE RARITIES LIKE "NIGHT," "THE TIES THAT BIND," AND A SOLO-PIANO "INCIDENT," ALSO MAKE FOR A STRONG TEXAS OPENER SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD- (THIN RECORDING, NEEDS MORE BASS). DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "THE RISING" POPS @ :52. TRACK 13 "MARY’S PLACE" FADES OUT AT 11:20 DURING THE "TURN IT UP!" REFRAIN. DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 10-11, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. THIS RECORDING IS AN MP3 OR OTHER COMPRESSED SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C17 - NOVEMBER 4, 2002 “HOUSTON RISING” HOUSTON, TX / COMPAQ CENTER

NOTES: WITH "WORLDS APART" BACK IN THE SET (AFTER BEING DROPPED IN DALLAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THE NIGHT BEFORE), HOUSTON GETS THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONGS BETWEEN "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" AND "BADLANDS," ALSO INCLUDING "DOES THIS BUS STOP" AND "NO SURRENDER." PLAYING ON THE P.A. AFTER THE SHOW IS DEAN MARTIN'S "HOUSTON." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: TRACK 12 "SHE’S THE ONE" HAS BURNER ERRORS FROM 3:48-4:22. DISC TWO: TERRIBLE EDIT FROM "BORN TO RUN" TO "MY CITY OF RUINS" THERE IS A LEAST A 5 SECOND GAP BETWEEN THESE TWO SONGS. "MY CITY OF RUINS" CUTS IN DURING THE INTRODUCTORY SPEECH. THE FIRST 8 SECONDS ALSO HAVE BAD STATIC.

C13 - NOVEMBER 12, 2002 "CINCINNATI RISING" CINCINNATI, OH / U.S. BANK ARENA 3CDR’S
NOTES: WELCOME BACK, CC! THE BAND'S RETURN TO THEIR FALL SCHEDULE, WITH CLARENCE CLEMONS BACK IN ACTION ONLY A WEEK AFTER SURGERY, IS CINCINNATI'S FIRST GENERAL ADMISSION SHOW IN NEARLY 23 YEARS. IT'S ALSO NOTABLE FOR AN ONGOING BOYCOTT EFFORT IN CINCY-- NOT BY THOSE OPPOSING THE G.A. PLAN, BUT BY CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS PROTESTING POLICE BRUTALITY. SPRINGSTEEN OPENS WITH "AMERICAN SKIN" FOR THE FIRST TIME. ALSO IN THE SET: A FULL-BAND "DOES THIS BUS STOP," AND, BY REQUEST FROM A SIGN-HOLDER, "I'M A ROCKER." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "MARY'S PLACE" HAS A SMALL STATIC POP @ 1:20. DISC THREE: CLEAN. THIS RECORDING IS NOT AN MP3 SOURCE PER EAC AUDIO ANALYSIS.

C17 - NOVEMBER 14, 2002 “LEXINGTON RISING” LEXINGTON, KY / RUPP ARENA 3 CDR’S
NOTES: SEVERAL SHAKE-UPS IN KENTUCKY INCLUDED A PAIR OF DARKNESS RARITIES-- THE FOREMOST BEING "STREETS OF FIRE," WHICH THE E STREET BAND HASN'T PERFORMED LIVE SINCE THE DARKNESS TOUR. "RACING IN THE STREET" WAS PLAYED FOR ONLY THE THIRD TIME ON THE RISING TOUR (A FULL-BAND VERSION OF "RACING" TOOK THE SLOT THAT HAD LATELY BEEN RESERVED FOR A SOLO-PIANO PERFORMANCE). "GLORY DAYS" AND "THUNDER ROAD" RETURNED TO THE ENCORES, AND -- SAY IT AIN'T SO! -- "BORN IN THE U.S.A." DROPPED OUT OF THE SHOW FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE TOUR BEGAN. SOUND IS GOOD- (A LITTLE MUDDY WITH VERY HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE AT TIMES). DISC ONE: TRACK 5 "EMPTY

SKY" SKIPS @ 2:23. DISC TWO: TRACK 4 "RACING IN THE STREET" HAS SEVERAL STATIC BURNER ERROR POPS THROUGHOUT. SAME COMMENT FOR TRACK 5 "INTO THE FIRE". DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "MY CITY OF RUINS" HAS SEVERE TAPER NOISE FROM 1:00-2:30. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE WAS LEAVING EARLY FROM THE SHOW AND HAD TO BYPASS THE TAPER.

C16 - NOVEMBER 16, 2002 "GREENSBORO RISING" GREENSBORO, NC / COLISEUM 3CDR’S

NOTES: "CADILLAC RANCH" MAKES ITS TOUR DEBUT, BUT THERE'S A BRIEF HICCUP DURING THE SHOW WHEN BRUCE FALLS DOWN DURING HIS VISIT TO THE BACK OF THE STAGE DURING "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY." HE MADE A QUICK RECOVERY, BUT HAD A PRETTY GOOD GASH ON HIS FOREARM TO SHOW FOR IT. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C16 - NOVEMBER 19, 2002 “ALABAMA RISING” BIRMINGHAM, AL BJCC 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE INCOMPARABLE EMMYLOU HARRIS MAKES A GUEST APPEARANCE ON "MY HOMETOWN," AND "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS ITS TOUR DEBUT. DURING THE BY-REQUEST "CADILLAC RANCH," A FAN THROWS A HOUNDS TOOTH HAT ONSTAGE (WHICH LEGENDARY ALABAMA FOOTBALL COACH PAUL "BEAR" BRYANT WAS KNOWN FOR), AND SPRINGSTEEN WEARS THE HAT FOR THE ENTIRE SONG. SOUND IS A VERY GOOD+/SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT (WOULD BE STRAIGHT SUPERB EXCEPT THE RECORDING IT IS AT A RATHER LOW VOLUME LEVEL). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: THERE IS A BIG STATIC BURST FROM TRACKS 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC THREE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 6-7 (2ND ENCORE), NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C16 - NOVEMBER 21, 2002 “ORLANDO RISING” ORLANDO TD WATERHOUSE 3 CDR’S

NOTES: YOWZA! THREE TOUR DEBUT OF "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY," "HUMAN TOUCH," AND, AT LONG LAST, THE RETURN OF THE FULL "DETROIT MEDLEY." THE SET ALSO INCLUDES "CANDY'S ROOM" AND "THE PROMISE," WITH "DANCING IN THE DARK" MOVING TO THE SECOND ENCORE TO CLOSE THE SHOW. THEY DON'T CALL IT THE MAGIC KINGDOM FOR NOTHIN'. IN ADDITION, DARLINGTON COUNTY" WAS AGAIN PLAYED, WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY "SAINT IN THE CITY," AND THEN "HUMAN TOUCH" REPLACED "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE," THE FIRST TIME ON THE TOUR "MIRACLE" WASN'T PLAYED. THE FIRST ENCORE ENDED WITH THE "DEVIL WITH THE BLUE DRESS MEDLEY," AND "DANCING IN THE DARK" CLOSED THE SHOW. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED "NO SURRENDER," "CANDY'S ROOM," AND A SOLO PIANO VERSION OF "THE PROMISE”. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 8 "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS A STATIC POP @ 2:26. DISC TWO: TRACK 8 "BORN IN THE USA" SKIPS @ 3:45. TRACK 10 "DANCING' IN THE DARK" HAS A STATIC POP @ 3:55.

C16 - NOVEMBER 23, 2002 “MIAMI RISING” MIAMI, FL / AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE FLORIDA STUNNERS CONTINUE, AS MIAMI GETS FOUR TOUR DEBUTS AND AS MANY SPECIAL GUESTS: "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WITH BONO AND DAVE STEWART (OF EURHYTHMICS FAME), "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" WITH DION, "OUT IN THE STREET," AND "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE." BETWEEN THE ENCORES, YET ANOTHER FRIEND WAS ONSTAGE, AS VINCENT "BIG PUSSY" PASTORE CAME ON TO ANNOUNCE, "LIVE FROM MIAMI, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND!" TO WHICH BRUCE RESPONDED: "HE'S ALIVE!" FROM THE BRUCEBASE: TOUR PREMIERES OF "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," "OUT IN THE STREET," "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE", AND "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND." BONO (OF U2) AND DAVE STEWART (OF THE EURHYTHMICS) JOINED IN ON THE FESTIVITIES FOR "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," WITH BONO ADDING VOCALS AND STEWART ADDING A GUITAR SOLO. "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE" WAS AGAIN NOT PLAYED. THEN DION LENT HIS VOCALS TO A PERFORMANCE OF "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND," WHICH SOUNDED MORE LIKE THE 1996 TOUR VERSION THAN THE 1999-2000 TOUR ARRANGEMENT. AND IN A VERY COOL APPEARANCE, VINCENT PASTORE ("BIG PUSSY" FROM "THE SOPRANOS") CAME ON-STAGE TO INTRODUCE THE ENCORES. SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C16 - NOVEMBER 24, 2002 “TAMPA RISING” TAMPA, FL / ICE PALACE 3CDR’S

NOTES: NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE-- INCLUDING A SLEW OF OLDIES LIKE "DOES THIS BUS STOP," "SAINT IN THE CITY," AND "INCIDENT," PLUS ANOTHER REAL OLDIE: "TWIST AND SHOUT" TO CLOSE THE SHOW. FROM THE BRUCEBASE: SET FEATURES TWO SONGS FROM THE FIRST ALBUM ("SAINT IN THE CITY" AND "BUS STOP"), AS WELL AS "TIES THAT BIND" AND "NIGHT." BRUCE CLOSED THE SHOW WITH "TWIST AND SHOUT" IN ITS TOUR DEBUT. "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE" RETURNED TO THE SET, AND "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" WAS THE SOLO PIANO SONG. SOUND IS VERY GOOD- DISTORTS BADLY AT TIMES DUE TO MICROPHONE OVER MODULATION.. DISC ONE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC TWO: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC THREE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE.

C15 - DECEMBER 2, 2002 “RISING UP IN GEORGIA” ATLANTA, GA PHILIPS ARENA
NOTES: BRUCE RETURNS TO THE TOWN WHERE HE RECORDED THE RISING AND INVITED THE DISC'S PRODUCER, BRENDAN O'BRIEN, TO JOIN THE BAND FOR "GLORY DAYS" AND "BORN TO RUN." "SHOULD WE KEEP ROCKIN'? LET'S PRODUCE!" ATLANTA'S SOMEWHAT EFFICIENT SHOW DIDN'T DELVE DEEP INTO THE PAST, BUT SAW THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "WHERE THE BANDS ARE." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C15 - DECEMBER 4, 2002 “PITTSBURGH RISING” PITTSBURGH, PA MELLON ARENA 3CDR’S

NOTES: JOE GRUSHECKY AND BRUCE PERFORMED "CODE OF SILENCE" TOGETHER, THE FIRST TIME THE TWO HAVE PLAYED ON THAT SONG TOGETHER, WHICH IS NOTABLE CONSIDERING THEY WROTE THE SONG TOGETHER. OTHER TOUR DEBUTS INCLUDED "YOUNGSTOWN," WHICH BRUCE PLAYED ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND ACCOMPANIED BY SOOZIE TYRELL, AND "SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN," WHICH CLOSED THE SHOW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C16 - DECEMBER 5, 2002 “TORONTO RISING” TORONTO AIR CANADA CENTER 2CDR’S

NOTES: "SANTA CLAUS" COMES TO TORONTO FOR THE FIRST CANADIAN SHOW OF THE RISING TOUR, ALONG WITH SUCH RARITIES AS "CANDY'S ROOM," "CADILLAC RANCH," AND A SOLO-PIANO "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND." SOUND IS GOOD+ (NO BASS, THIN SOUND). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: MOST TRACKS ON THIS DISC HAVE CD "STUTTERS" SCATTERED THROUGHOUT.

C4 - DECEMBER 8, 2002 “CHARLOTTE RISING” CHARLOTTE, NC CHARLOTTE COLISEUM
NOTES: THE WEATHER OUTSIDE'S BEEN FRIGHTFUL, BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON. BRUCE AND THE BAND TURN ON THE POWER WITH "BACKSTREETS," "DARLINGTON COUNTY," AND "WHERE THE BANDS ARE." HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED "CANDY'S ROOM," "NIGHT," AND AN ENCORE-OPENING "WHERE THE BANDS ARE" SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN

C16 - DECEMBER 9, 2002 “COLUMBIA RISING” COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA USC ARENA 3CDR’S

NOTES: THE DETROIT MEDLEY IS BACK! AND WHILE THE SOLO PIANO SLOT SEEMS TO HAVE DISAPPEARED ON THIS DECEMBER RUN, THE TOUR PREMIERES CONTINUE: COLUMBIA GETS "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN," "GROWIN' UP," AND "THIS HARD LAND." "MARY'S PLACE" INCLUDES A SNIPPET OF "RESCUE ME". SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. ALL THREE DISCS ARE FLAWLESS!.

DECEMBER 11, 2002 “UNTITLED” LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN OBRIEN

NOTES: DOWNLOADED MPEGS FROM A.B.M.S. SITE. THESE FILES CURRENTLY RESIDE ON MY HARD-DRIVE.

C16 - DECEMBER 13, 2002 “RISING UP IN ALBANY” ALBANY, NEW YORK PEPSI ARENA 3CDR’S

NOTES: WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED AS THE LAST SHOW OF THE YEAR INCLUDES "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN," "THIS HARD LAND," AND, TO CLOSE THE SHOW AFTER "SANTA CLAUS," CHUCK BERRY'S "AROUND AND AROUND." SOUND IS VERY GOOD (A BIT BASS HEAVY) DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: TRACK 4 "MY CITY OF RUINS" SKIPS BADLY BECAUSE OF DISC DAMAGE RESULTING FROM POOR SHIPPING FROM THE TRADER TO ME. TRACK 5 "BORN IN THE USA" OVER MODULATES AT TIMES.

C16 - DECEMBER 16, 2002 “COLUMBUS RISING” COLUMBUS, OHIO SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTER 3CDR’S

NOTES: COLUMBUS, OHIO HAD TO HANG ON FOR A MONTH UNTIL THIS MAKE-UP SHOW, THE FIRST OF THREE POSTPONED FROM THEIR ORIGINAL DATES DUE TO CLARENCE CLEMONS' EYE SURGERY. WORTH-THE-WAIT RARITIES INCLUDED "CANDY'S ROOM," "WHERE THE BANDS ARE," OUT IN THE STREET," A SOLO-PIANO "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND," AND A BIT OF "HANG ON SLOOPY" ADDED TO "GLORY DAYS." "SHE'S THE ONE" DROPS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SEPTEMBER, WITH "THE FUSE" AND "TWO HEARTS" RETURNING TO THE SET AS THE 2002 TOUR NEARS ITS END. SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT (HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE AT TIMES....THE TAPER FANCIED HIMSELF A SINGER!). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - DECEMBER 17, 2002 “INDY RISING” INDIANAPOLIS, IN CONSECO FIELDHOUSE 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE FINAL LAP OF THE 2002 RISING TOUR BRINGS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "LOOSE ENDS," ALONG WITH RARITIES "DARLINGTON COUNTY" AND THE “DETROIT MEDLEY." AND, FOR A SEA OF SANTA HATS IN THE PIT (THANKS TO A FAN EFFORT THAT BENEFITED THE LOCAL FOODBANK), THE SEVENTH STRAIGHT "SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN." SOUND IS VERY GOOD(A BIT ECHOEY AT TIMES). DISC ONE: DISC HAS A COUPLE VERY MINOR STATIC BURSTS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

2003

84 SHOWS

C17 - FEBRUARY 19, 2003 “UNTITLED” SOMERVILLE THEATRE SOMERVILLE, MA 3CDR’S
NOTES: THE FIRST OF TWO BENEFIT SHOWS FOR THE STRUGGLING DOUBLETAKE MAGAZINE, BILLED AS "TWO INTIMATE EVENINGS OF MUSIC AND CONVERSATION." SPRINGSTEEN TOOK THE STAGE ALONE FOR A KNOCKOUT NIGHT OF, INDEED, BOTH MUSIC AND CONVERSATION. THE MUSIC -- MOSTLY ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR, A FEW SONGS ON PIANO -- RANGED FROM JOAD TOUR STAPLES (LIKE "ADAM RAISED A CAIN," "LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT," AND "SINALOA COWBOYS") TO LONG-LOST ALBUM TRACKS (LIKE "MY FATHER'S HOUSE," "STOLEN CAR," AND "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED") TO HITS, RISING CUTS, AND A WORLD PREMIERE ("THE WALL"). AND THEN THERE WAS THE CONVERSATION PART OF THE SHOW -- SPRINGSTEEN CHATTED BETWEEN SONGS, INCLUDING A LINE-BY-LINE EXPLICATION OF "DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET," AND CLOSED OUT THE SHOW WITH AN HOUR-LONG Q&A SESSION, TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE AFTER PLEDGING TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING... EXCEPT HIS HAIR. TICKET: $500. SHOW: PRICELESS. FIRST OF A TWO NIGHT BENEFIT STAND FOR DOUBLETAKE - FEATURES THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE WALL, CO-WRITTEN WITH JOE GRUSHECKY. ALSO INCLUDED ARE A PIANO SOLO VERSION OF THUNDER ROAD AND A 12 STRING GUITAR RENDITION OF BORN IN THE USA. SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: TRACK 6 HAS A COUPLE OF POPS DURING THE FIRST :30. THERE IS AN EDIT JUST AT THE TAIL END IF TRACK 9 "NEBRASKA". DISC TWO: TRACK 6 "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" HAS A FEW SPOTS OF NOISE FROM 2:50-2:57. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD" HAS A CD STUTTER @ 4:44. TRACK 2 "SINALOA COWBOYS" HAS A CD STUTTER @ :16. TRACK 4 "WAITING..." HAS A COUPLE CD STUTTERS FROM 2:55-3:00. TRACK 5 "THE PROMISED LAND" HAS SOME SLIGHT STATIC FROM 4:00-4:30. TRACK 7 CUTS OFF JUST AFTER "ACROSS THE BORDER" WHILE BRUCE

WAS TALKING ABOUT BEING A SONGWRITER.

C17 - FEBRUARY 19 AND 20, 2003 “SOMERVILLE NIGHTS” SOMERVILLE, MA. SOMERVILLE THEATER 5 CDR'S

FEBRUARY 20 NOTES: THE SECOND OF TWO BENEFIT SHOWS FOR THE STRUGGLING DOUBLETAKE MAGAZINE, BILLED AS "TWO INTIMATE EVENINGS OF MUSIC AND CONVERSATION." TONIGHT'S SHOW WAS A SLIGHTLY MORE EFFICIENT AFFAIR: NO "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" AND NO "MY HOMETOWN." BRUCE ALSO CUT THE Q&A A BIT SHORTER TONIGHT, JOKING THAT IT WAS THE LAST TIME HE'D DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. (OUR TAKE: C'MON AUDIENCE, IT'S ABOUT ASKING INTERESTING QUESTIONS, NOT GIVING YOUR PERSONAL TESTIMONY AS TO HOW GREAT BRUCE IS.) "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" REPLACED "DOES THIS BUS STOP" AND "FOR YOU" STOOD IN FOR "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND." AFTER "BLINDED" AND "GROWIN' UP," BRUCE EXPLICATED BOTH SONGS LINE BY LINE AND WONDERED WHY THE HECK MANFRED MANN CHANGED 'DEUCE' TO 'DOUCHE' IN THEIR COVER. 'DEUCE COUPE' WAS THE REFERENCE BRUCE WAS GOING FOR. WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE "THE WALL" A FEW MORE LISTENS, BUT AT THIS POINT WE CAN TELL YOU IT'S ABOUT SOMEONE STANDING AT THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL TALKING TO A LOST LOVED ONE (A COMRADE? A SPOUSE?). THE ACOUSTIC ARRANGEMENT OF "THE RISING" WAS DEFINITELY A HARD STRUMMING VERSION - NO DELICATE FINGER PICKING HERE. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. (LOW VOLUME, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SPOKEN SECTIONS, WHEN YOU INCREASE THE VOLUME TO HEAR THE INTERSONG SPOKEN SECTIONS, DON’T FORGET TO TURN IT DOWN FOR THE LOUDER SONGS OF THE SOUND DISTORTS BADLY). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. 2/20/2003 DISC THREE: CLEAN. DISC FOUR: CLEAN. QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSIONS FROM BOTH NIGHTS DISC FIVE: CLEAN.

FEBRUARY 23, 2003 “2003 GRAMMYS”

NOTES: MPEG VIDEOS AND MP3’S DOWNLOADED FROM THE A.B.M.S. SITE OF BOTH SONGS THAT BRUCE PERFORMED AND GUESTED ON DURING THE GRAMMYS. THESE FILES CURRENTLY RESIDE ON MY HARD-DRIVE.

C17 - FEBRUARY 28, 2003 “DULUTH RISING” THE ARENA AT GWINNETT CENTER , DULUTH, GA 2CDR’S

NOTES: FINALLY, THE GRAMMY ACCEPTANCE SPEECH WE NEVER GOT TO HEAR: "I'D LIKE TO THANK ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOBODY." AND THAT, SLIGHTLY PARAPHRASED, IS HOW THE RISING TOUR REOPENED OUTSIDE ATLANTA. A BIT OF A REFRESHER COURSE FROM WHERE THE SHOWS LEFT OFF LAST DECEMBER, THOUGH THE "NO SURRENDER" OPENING WAS A RARITY. PARAPHRASING AGAIN, BRUCE SPOKE BEFORE "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," "I HOPE THERE'S A PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO THE SITUATION IN IRAQ...GET OUR TROOPS HOME SAFELY...I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WRITE THIS SONG AGAIN." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: THE DISC HAS SOME MINOR VOLUME/FIDELITY FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. DISC TWO: VERY MINOR SNAP FROM TRACKS 4-5 (ENCORE), NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C15 - MARCH 2, 2003 “AUSTIN RISING” AUSTIN, TEXAS FRANK ERWIN CENTER 3 CDR’S

NOTES: IN GEORGE W. BUSH'S OLD STOMPING GROUNDS, SPRINGSTEEN OPENS THE SHOW WITH THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "WAR" -- THE HIT FOR BOTH EDWIN STARR AND SPRINGSTEEN THAT ASKS, "WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN'!" A LARGELY SOLO ACOUSTIC VERSION OF "GROWIN' UP" (WITH CLARENCE ALSO ON HAND FOR THE SAX SOLO) IS DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO'VE SUPPORTED BRUCE AND THE BAND "SINCE BACK IN THE ARMADILLO DAYS." THE NINE-SONG ENCORE BRINGS SOME REAL LONE STAR SPECIALS, INCLUDING "THIS HARD LAND" DEDICATED TO JOE ELY, "CADILLAC RANCH," AND THEN A GUEST APPEARANCE FROM ELY HIMSELF. THE FLATLANDER PERFORMED HIS OWN "ALL JUST TO GET TO YOU" WITH BRUCE AND THE BAND, AND CAME BACK LATER FOR THE SHOW-CLOSING "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY." IN THE CROWD: FORMER COWBOY QB’S TROY AIKMAN AND HIS BACKUP BABE LAUFENBERG. THIS WAS THE LAST OF THREE MAKEUP SHOWS, POSTPONED FROM NOVEMBER DUE TO CLARENCE CLEMONS' EYE SURGERY-- BRUCE TELLS THE AUSTIN CROWD THAT THE SEEING-EYE DOG IS WORKING OUT JUST FINE. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: BAD EDIT FROM TRACKS 4-5, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C15 - MARCH 4, 2003 “JACKSONVILLE RISING” JACKSONVILLE COLISEUM. 2 CDR’S

NOTES: HONORING THE LATE HANK BALLARD -- SINGER, SONGWRITER, ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER, AND FATHER OF "THE TWIST" -- SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND KICKED OFF THE ENCORE WITH A COVER OF HIS "LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO." BALLARD DIED ON MARCH 2. ALSO STANDING OUT IN JACKSONVILLE WAS A PAIR OF RARITIES FROM THE TOO-OFTEN-NEGLECTED LATE-'80S/EARLY '90S PERIOD: THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "BETTER DAYS," AND THE SECOND "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" OF THE TOUR. SOUND IS SUPERB. ATMOSPHERE SUFFERS A BIT FROM AN INCESSANTLY SHRILL SCREAMER NEAR THE TAPER. THE SCREAMER EITHER LOSES HER VOICE OR TIRES OUT BY THE END OF DISC ONE. THE SCREAMING ON DISC TWO IS MUCH LESS FREQUENT. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C18 - MARCH 6, 2003 “RICHMOND RISING” RICHMOND, VA, RICHMOND COLISEUM 3CDR’S

NOTES: RARITIES INCLUDE "YOU CAN LOOK" AND "TWO HEARTS," BUT IT WAS THE LOCAL FLAVOR THAT REALLY STOOD OUT. RICHMOND WAS A HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR BRUCE BACK IN THE STEEL MILL DAYS, AND THIS WAS HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE THERE SINCE THE '70S. SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED A SOLO-PIANO "FOR YOU" TO "ALL MY OLD FRIENDS IN RICHMOND TONIGHT," INCLUDING HIS OLD STEEL MILL PAL ROBBIN THOMPSON. LATER, BRUCE BROUGHT THOMPSON TO THE STAGE, ALONG WITH ANOTHER VIRGINIA BOY, BRUCE HORNSBY, FOR THE ENCORE-OPENING "LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO." HORNSBY TOOK TWO ACCORDION SOLOS, HE AND THOMPSON EACH SANG A VERSE, AND SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED THE SONG TO THE LATE SONGWRITER HANK BALLARD, "GREAT FATHER OF ROCK 'N' ROLL." BEFORE "MY CITY OF RUINS," SPRINGSTEEN RECALLED, "THIS WAS A TOWN WE MADE OUR LIVING IN FOR A LONG TIME. BACK THEN THERE WAS ONLY THIS PLACE AND ONE OTHER PLACE... THANK GOD WE HAD TWO PLACES! THIS TOWN KEPT US GOING, AND YOU DON'T FORGET THAT." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C17 - MARCH 7, 2003 “TELL MY WHY IN ATLANTIC CITY” ATLANTIC CITY, NJ BOARDWALK HALL 3CDR’S
NOTES: A TRUE JERSEY-STYLE HOUSE PARTY. THE SHOW WAS BOOKENDED WITH ATLANTIC CITY TREATS, BUT FROM START TO FINISH IT WAS ONE FOR THE AGES. THE BAND CAME OUT AS A GROUP TO THE STRAINS OF THE MISS AMERICA THEME, AND BRUCE WAS IN HIGH SPIRITS, CLEARLY TOUCHED TO BE PLAYING BOARDWALK HALL, LATER SAYING THAT IT WAS "REAL OLD SCHOOL TONIGHT" AND MENTIONING THE BANDS (BEATLES, STONES) WHO ONCE GRACED THAT STAGE. HE ALSO HAD PLENTY TO SAY TONIGHT, PARTICULARLY AFTER "EMPTY SKY:" "ONE THING THAT BOTHERS ME, AS A SONGWRITER YOU ALWAYS WRITE TO BE UNDERSTOOD." HE DISCUSSED THE "I WANT AN EYE FOR AN EYE" LINE, CONTENDING THAT "I WROTE THAT AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE CHARACTER'S CONFUSION AND GRIEF, NEVER AS A CALL FOR BLIND REVENGE OR BLOODLUST....WE CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL ABOUT THESE THINGS THESE DAYS....WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME WHEN THERE ARE REAL LIVES ON THE LINE...HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT LINE WAS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD." FROM THE BUS STOP/SAINT IN THE CITY 1-2 PUNCH (WITH SOME KILLER PIANO WORK BY ROY ON THE LATTER) TO A SOLO PIANO VERSION OF "JERSEY GIRL" (DEDICATED TO "YOU KNOW WHO") THERE WAS PLENTY OF FODDER FOR LONG-TIME FANS. BRUCE DEDICATED THE BEATLES' "TELL ME WHY" TO HIS MOM, WHO BROUGHT HIM DOWN TO ATLANTIC CITY WHEN HE WAS A KID TO SEE CHUBBY CHECKER, AND TO "ALL THE BANDS THAT PLAYED IN THIS ROOM THAT INSPIRED US." HIGH ENERGY THROUGHOUT, A STRONG SETLIST WITHIN THE RISING FRAMEWORK, A KILLER SHOW. SHOW INCLUDES A NEW COVER "TELL ME WHY", A BEATLES TRACK AS WELL AS A RARE ROLL OF THE DICE AND STUNNING SOLO PIANO JERSEY GIRL. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+ AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - MARCH 10, 2003 “PROVIDENCE RISING” PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND DUNKIN DONUTS ARENA 3 CDR'S

NOTES: PATTI IS UNABLE TO MAKE THE PROVIDENCE SHOW DUE TO ILLNESS-- "SHE'S SICK... SICK OF ME!" BRUCE JOKES. "SHE SENDS HER REGARDS." WE'RE TOLD THAT THE SOUND WAS "A LITTLE THIN AT TIMES," BUT SOOZIE DID AN ADMIRABLE JOB MAKING UP FOR PATTI'S ABSENCE. (GET WELL SOON, PATTI.) "WAR" OPENS THE SHOW FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME, AND SEVERAL RARITIES MAKE THEIR FIRST 2003 APPEARANCE -- "NIGHT," "THE FUSE," AND "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT." "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" TAKES THE SOLO PIANO SLOT. THE "LOCAL SPECIAL" WAS A POIGNANT ONE, AS SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND PLAYED ONE FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE STATION TRAGEDY (ON FEBRUARY 20, NEARLY 100 PEOPLE DIED IN A FIRE AT THE RHODE ISLAND NIGHTCLUB) -- "BOBBY JEAN" OPENED THE ENCORE, DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO DIED IN THE FLAMES. THIS FIRST U.S. LEG HAS BROUGHT SOME OF SPRINGSTEEN'S MOST EXPLICIT LANGUAGE YET REGARDING THE CURRENT PUSH TOWARD WAR, AND "WAR" WAS NOT THE ONLY STATEMENT OF THE NIGHT REGARDING IRAQ. INTRODUCING "BORN IN THE U.S.A.": "I WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR... I HOPE I WON'T HAVE TO WRITE THIS SONG AGAIN. SO WE'LL OFFER THIS AS A PRAYER FOR PEACE, FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM, FOR THE LIVES OF INNOCENT IRAQI CIVILIANS... AND ADD OUR VOICE TO THOSE AGAINST WAR IN IRAQ." SOUND IS GOOD- ( A LITTLE MUDDY FOR ITS RECENT VINTAGE, LOW RECORDING LEVEL). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - MARCH 11, 2003 “ON FIRE IN ROCHESTER” THE BLUE CROSS ARENA, ROCHESTER, NY 3 CDR’S

NOTES: "INCENDIARY" WAS HOW ONE WITNESS DESCRIBED BRUCE'S PERFORMANCE, MAKING THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "FIRE" ALL THE MORE APPROPRIATE. FROM OPENING WITH "NO SURRENDER" TO "FIRE" BY REQUEST IN THE SECOND ENCORE, BRUCE WAS EXTRA LOOSE AND THE SHOW WAS CHOCK FULL OF SURPRISES: "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN," "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT," "NOTHING MAN," "BACKSTREETS," AND "NIGHT" ALL MADE THE SET. "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE" AND "THUNDER ROAD" WERE ORIGINALLY ON THE SETLIST BUT CROSSED OFF, TO GREAT EFFECT. ALSO NOT MAKING THE SHOW WAS PATTI SCIALFA, OUT SICK FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - MARCH 20, 2003 “MELBOURNE RISING” TELSTRA DOME, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA 3CDR’S

NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND BEGIN THEIR RUN OF SHOWS DOWN UNDER AS WAR BEGINS IN IRAQ-- BUT DON'T THINK THEY DIDN'T NOTICE. THE DOUBLE-WHAMMY OF "BORN IN THE U.S.A." (THE FIRST ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THE RISING TOUR) AND "WAR" OPEN THE SHOW IN MELBOURNE. SPRINGSTEEN ONCE AGAIN TAKES A MOMENT TO CLARIFY HIS INTENTIONS BEHIND THE "EYE FOR AN EYE" LINE IN "EMPTY SKY," AND IN THE ENCORES "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" IS DEDICATED TO THE AUSTRALIAN AND AMERICAN SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND THE INNOCENT IRAQI CIVILIANS. ALSO IN THE SET: "NO SURRENDER," "BACKSTREETS," AND "THUNDER ROAD" AFTER "INTO THE FIRE" TO CLOSE THE MAIN SET. SOUND IS SUPERB. ALL DISCS ARE TAO PROBABLY DUE TO A MINI-DISC SOURCE. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE.

C22 - MARCH 22, 2003 SYDNEY

SO FAR ONLY 1 TRACK (I.E. “WAR”) HAS SURFACED FROM THIS CONCERT. SOUND IS AVERAGE+/GOOD-. THERE WAS A POWER OUTAGE DURING THE SONG THAT OCCURS AT :20. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, THE POWER COMES BACK AND THE BAND RE-STARTS THE SONG. THE TRACK FADES OUT @ 4:30 DURING THE OUTRO CHORUS BUT BEFORE NILS GUITAR SOLO BEGINS.

C18 - MARCH 25, 2003 “BRISBANE RISING VOL. 1” BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE, BRISBANE, AUS 3CDR’S

NOTES: AS THE AUSTRALIAN TOUR CONTINUES, SPRINGSTEEN STICKS WITH THE "BORN IN THE U.S.A." (ACOUSTIC), "WAR," AND "NO SURRENDER" OPENING TRIFECTA, AND THE "THUNDER ROAD" SET-CLOSER. "DARLINGTON COUNTY" POPS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET, BUT THE BIG SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT IS THE APPEARANCE OF THE MAGIC RAT, WITH THE FIRST "JUNGLELAND" OF THE TOUR. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: BAD EDIT @ 1:42 DURING TRACK 1, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - MARCH 26, 2003 “BRISBANE RISING VOL. 2” BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE, BRISBANE, AUS 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THEY CAN'T DO IT LIKE HE CAN: BRUCE PULLS OUT THE ULTRA-RARE "I'M A ROCKER." IN ALL, NIGHT TWO IN BRISBANE BRINGS SIX SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, ALSO INCLUDING "TWO HEARTS," "THE PROMISED LAND," "OUT IN THE STREET," "MY HOMETOWN," AND "THIS HARD LAND." SOUND IS VERY GOOD (A BIT BASS HEAVY). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 2 "BADLANDS" HAS A BAD EDIT @ 5:06. DISC THREE: THERE ARE SEVERAL PATCHES OF MINOR STATIC POPPING SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THIS DISC.

C18 - APRIL 9, 2003 “SACRAMENTO RISING” ARCO ARENA, SACRAMENTO, CA 3CDR’S

NOTES: "GOOD TO BE HOME," SAID SPRINGSTEEN IN SACRAMENTO, AT THEIR FIRST U.S. SHOW IN NEARLY A MONTH. IT WAS ALSO THEIR FIRST U.S. CONCERT SINCE THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ BEGAN, ON THE DAY THAT U.S. FORCES TOOK BAGHDAD, AND "WAR" DID NOT MAKE THE SET. INSTEAD, AN INTENSE OPENING TRIO WAS CARRIED OVER FROM NEW ZEALAND: THE ACOUSTIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN," AND "NO SURRENDER." THE INTENSITY WAS ALSO NOTABLE IN THE ENCORES: "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" WAS A "PRAYER FOR PEACE," FOR "THE SAFETY OF OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE." BRUCE PLAYED "ONE MORE FOR SACRAMENTO-- BECAUSE YOU'RE SOOOO GOOD..." AND "DARLINGTON COUNTY" CLOSED THE SHOW. ALSO PLAYED "THE FUSE" AND "JUNGLELAND." SOUND IS VERY GOOD- (SLIGHTLY LOW RECORDING LEVEL) DISC ONE: VOLUME LEVEL INCREASES BY 25% NEAR THE END OF TRACK 2 "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN". FIDELITY JUMPS TO VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - APRIL 11, 2003 “VANCOUVER RISING” PACIFIC COLISEUM, VANCOUVER, CANADA 3CDR’S

NOTES: BACK TO BASICS IN VANCOUVER, WITH "THE RISING" AND "LONESOME DAY" OPENING THE SHOW FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE RICHMOND (A SOUND CHECKED "CHIMES OF FREEDOM" DID NOT MAKE THE SET). RARITIES INCLUDED "THE TIES THAT BIND," "TWO HEARTS," "MY HOMETOWN," AND "THIS HARD LAND." AS WITH OTHER RECENT SHOWS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., "THUNDER ROAD" FOLLOWED "INTO THE FIRE" AS THE SET CLOSER. CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT: "BORN IN THE U.S.A." AND "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - APRIL 13, 2003 “CALGARY RISING” PENGROWTH SADDLEDOME, CALGARY, CANADA 3CDR’S

NOTES: "BORN IN THE U.S.A." STAYS OUT OF THE SET AS BRUCE AND THE BAND MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS CANADA. CALGARY GETS "NO SURRENDER," "DARLINGTON COUNTY," AND "JUNGLELAND." SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - APRIL 14, 2003 “EDMONTON RISING” SKYREACH CENTER, EDMONTON, CANADA 3CDR’S

NOTES: BRUCE HAS BEEN STRUGGLING WITH ILLNESS WHILE IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH, BUT IF MONDAY NIGHT WAS ANY INDICATION, HE'S ON THE MEND. A PRE-"RISING" SLOT IS BACK, WITH "NO SURRENDER" OPENING THE SHOW. GRANTING A PAIR OF REQUESTS ALSO BROUGHT THE RETURN OF THE SOLO PIANO SLOT, WITH "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" TAKING THE PLACE OF "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE"; AND, IN THE ENCORES, A SURPRISE "DETROIT MEDLEY" RAVE-UP. THE LAST TRACK PERFORMED “DANCING IN THE DARK” HAS BEEN OMITTED BY OTHERS, MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE SHOW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: TRACK 2 "THE RISING" HAS SOUND PROBLEMS FROM :27-:29. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - APRIL 18, 2003 “UNTITLED” COREL CENTRE, OTTAWA, CANADA 3CDR’S

NOTES: "I'M ON FIRE" SHOWS UP AFTER "MARY'S PLACE," BUT THE FREIGHT TRAIN RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF BRUCE'S HEAD WAS CLARENCE DURING "RAMROD." THE BOSS AND CLARENCE GOT ALL TANGLED UP AS THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND: THE INCIDENT ON E STREET WAS ALMOST A SQUISHING OF SPRINGSTEEN. THAT DISASTER AVERTED, THE BAND WENT ON WITH THE ENCORES, INCLUDING THE "DETROIT MEDLEY." "GROWIN' UP" WAS AN AUDIBLE; NOT ON THE SETLIST. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C18 - APRIL 19, 2003 “MONTREAL RISING” BELL CENTER, MONTREAL, CANADA 3CDR’S

NOTES: MONTREAL GOT A STRONG SHOW, WITH "THE PROMISED LAND" AS AN OPENER, THE RARE "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN" CALLED AS AN AUDIBLE, THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "HUNGRY HEART," AND GUEST ALI WEINBERG (MAX'S DAUGHTER) ON KEYBOARDS DURING "RAMROD." SONGS SOUND CHECKED BUT NOT PLAYED TONIGHT INCLUDED "LET'S BE FRIENDS (SKIN TO SKIN)," "BRILLIANT DISGUISE," "COVER ME," AND "LIVING PROOF." NONE OF THE SONGS WERE PLAYED ALL THE WAY THROUGH IN SOUNDCHECK - JUST PARTIAL VERSIONS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

NO CHANGES TO THE STANDARD SET STRUCTURE AS THE STADIUM SHOWS BEGIN, THOUGH PATTI SCIALFA IS ABSENT ON THIS FIRST NIGHT. (IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHEN SHE MIGHT BE BACK ONSTAGE-- AS BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "PATTI SENDS HER REGARDS, SHE COULDN'T BE HERE. THE KIDS NEED HER MORE RIGHT NOW THAN THE BAND.")

LUDWIGSHAFEN ALSO GETS "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT," THE FULL-BAND "RACING IN THE STREET," AND "GLORY DAYS" (REPLACING THE "DETROIT MEDLEY"). STILL NO PATTI.

C18 - MAY 17, 2003 “BARCELONA 2003” OLYMPIC STADIUM, BARCELONA, SPAIN 3 CDR’S

NOTE: THIS RECORDING IS MINI-DISC SOURCED SO IT HAS SPLIT SECOND GAPS BETWEEN TRACKS IT IS NOT A COMPRESSED SOURCE. AS THE TOUR RETURNS TO BARCELONA ON MAY 17, PATTI RETURNS TO THE STAGE, FOR HER FIRST SHOW OF THE 2003 EUROPEAN LEG. "SHERRY DARLING" HAS ITS TOUR PREMIERE, WITH ADDITIONAL RARITIES "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN," "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," "JUNGLELAND," AND "HUNGRY HEART." SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT.

C19 - MAY 22, 2003 “UNTITLED” GELSENKIRCHEN ARENA, SCHALKE, GERMANY
NOTES: A MOVE BACK TO THE STANDARD STRUCTURE OF THE SHOW TONIGHT IN GERMANY. "JUNGLELAND" IS PLAYED FOR THE THIRD NIGHT IN A ROW AND THE "DETROIT MEDLEY" RETURNS TO THE ENCORES. SOUND IS VERY GOOD-. ALL DISCS HAVE SEVERAL SPLIT SECOND CD "STUTTERS" SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. DISC THREE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC TWO: BAD EDIT FROM "INTO THE FIRE" TO "THUNDER ROAD". DISC THREE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE.

C22 - MAY 24, 2003 “THIS IS THE EARLY SHOW!” STADE DE FRANCE, PARIS, FRANCE 1CDR

THIS DISC DOCUMENTS THE 3 SONG ACOUSTIC PRE-SHOW PORTION ONLY. THERE WERE OTHER TRACKS PLAYED THAT FEATURED OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BAND. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. TRACK 1 "DOES THIS BUS STOP" FADES IN AT THE LYRIC "...AND MARY LOU FOUND OUT HOW TO COPE...".

C17 - MAY 24, 2003 "PARIS RISING" STADE DE FRANCE, PARIS, FRANCE 3 CDR’S (CURRENTLY MIA)

NOTES: MAYBE COLIN POWELL (STILL IN TOWN?) WAS AT THE SHOW TONIGHT? BRUCE PULLED OUT "TRAPPED," "BE TRUE" (!), AND "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK," THE MOON MULLIGAN SONG HE PERFORMED RECENTLY AT THE BOBBY BANDIERA BENEFIT IN RED BANK, NJ. THROW IN "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN" AS AN OPENER AND YOU'VE GOT A SHOW THAT GETS THE ATTENTION OF SETLIST WATCHERS... AND CONCERT ATTENDEES. JON LANDAU PLAYS GUITAR ON "DANCING IN THE DARK." THAT'S NOT ALL THAT MADE PARIS SPECIAL. SOON AFTER THE GATES OPENED AT 6 P.M., A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THE "REAL" SHOW STARTED, SPRINGSTEEN WAS ONSTAGE POST-SOUNDCHECK TO GREET FANS AS THEY CAME IN. "WELCOME TO THE EARLY SHOW!" IN ADDITION TO TAKING PICTURES OF THE CROWD, HE REWARDED THOSE WHO HAD BEEN WAITING IN THE RAIN WITH A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE: THE RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF EARLY ARRIVALS INSIDE THE VENUE WERE TREATED TO THREE SONGS ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR. AFTER THIS "WARM-UP," BRUCE LEFT THE STAGE SAYING "SEE YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE..." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS!. DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!. DISC THREE: FLAWLESS! TRACK 8 IS THE ACOUSTIC SONG THAT PLAYS AFTER EVERY SHOW.

C16 - MAY 26, 2003 “LONDON RISING 2003 VOL. #1” LONDON NATIONAL SPORTS ARENA, CRYSTAL PALACE 3CDR’S

NOTES: NIGHT ONE IN LONDON GETS "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" INTO "JUNGLELAND." "DARLINGTON COUNTY" SHOWS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET AND PERHAPS "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" IS SETTLING INTO AN ENCORE SLOT. JON LANDAU PLAYS GUITAR ON "DANCING IN THE DARK." SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: TRACK 10 "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS A BIG STATIC POP @ 1:17 AND SEVERAL MORE FROM 4:02-4:08. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - MAY 27, 2003 “LONDON RISING 2003 #2” NATIONAL SPORTS ARENA, CRYSTAL PALACE, LONDON, UK 3CDR’S

NOTES: FOR THE SECOND OF TWO SHOWS, LONDON GETS NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT-- INCLUDING THE ACOUSTIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A." TO START; A POWERHOUSE TRIO OF "CANDY'S ROOM"/"PROVE IT"/"ATLANTIC CITY" ALL IN A ROW; "RACING IN THE STREET"; AND "NIGHT" AND THE "DETROIT MEDLEY" IN THE ENCORES. A RELENTLESS FIVE-SONG FIRST ENCORE, WITH THE MEDLEY FOLLOWED BY THE GLORIOUS RAVE-UP THAT IS "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK"-- THE COVER HAS YET TO LEAVE THE SET SINCE ITS RISING TOUR DEBUT IN PARIS THREE SHOWS BACK, AND WE'RE HOPING THE ROLL CONTINUES. LANDAU GUESTS AGAIN ON "DANCING IN THE DARK." SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - MAY 29, 2003 “MANCHESTER RISING” MANCHESTER, ENGLAND / OLD TRAFFORD 3 CDR’S

NOTES: MANCHESTER TICKETHOLDERS HAD SOME IS-IT-CANCELED-OR-ISN'T-IT WORRIES IN THE MONTHS BEFORE THIS SHOW, BUT THE PAYOFF MADE UP FOR IT. THE CONCERT, WHICH WENT ON AS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED, CLOCKED IN AT OVER 3 HOURS WITH 27 SONGS. AN ACOUSTIC OPENER ("BORN IN THE U.S.A." AGAIN) KEPT THINGS QUIET FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST SIX MINUTES OR SO... BUT THE FIVE-PACK WHICH FOLLOWED SURELY RATTLED SOME WINDOWS. TRUE RARITIES WERE "LOOSE ENDS" AND "SANDY," WITH ADDITIONAL TREATS SUCH AS "MEETING" AND "JUNGLELAND" AND, FOR THE FOURTH SHOW IN A ROW, "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK." DID WE MENTION: 27 SONGS? SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - MAY 31, 2003 “DUBLIN RISING” RDS ARENA, DUBLIN, IRELAND 3CDR’S

NOTES: SATURDAY NIGHT'S DUBLIN SHOW WAS BRUCE AND THE BAND'S LAST BEFORE A WEEK-LONG BREAK, AND THEY LEFT ON A HIGH NOTE. IT WAS ANOTHER LONG ONE, AT 26 SONGS AND WELL OVER 3 HOURS - AND A FINE SET AT THAT, WITH "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN," "ATLANTIC CITY," AND THE "MEETING/JUNGLELAND" TWO-PACK. BUT THE REAL GOING-AWAY PRESENT CAME IN THE ENCORE, AS "KITTY'S BACK" MADE ITS FIRST TOUR APPEARANCE SINCE PHILLY. BRUCE HAS BROUGHT KITTY BACK MORE THAN A FEW TIMES IN RECENT YEARS, FOR BENEFITS AND FOR THE CONAN O'BRIEN BROADCAST, BUT IT'S STILL A RARE DELICACY AT AN E STREET BAND CONCERT. MUST BE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH. SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE- (VERY HIGH HISS, SOMEWHAT MUDDY, DISTANT). ALL DISCS HAVE INTERMITTENT TAPER NOISES RANGING FROM MINOR TO SEVERE THROUGHOUT. DISC ONE: THE OPENING SONG OF THE SHOW "BORN IN THE U.S.A.(ACOUSTIC)" HAS BEEN TACKED ONTO DISC THREE AS TRACK 1. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN EXCEPT AS

NOTED. DISC TWO: DISC IS CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC THREE: CLEAN, EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE

C20 - JUNE 8, 2003 “UNTITLED” FIRENZE, ITALY 3 CDR’S

NOTES: BACK ON STAGE AFTER A WEEK OFF, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND GIVE FLORENCE "A LITTLE SUMMER SONG" WITH "SHERRY DARLING," CELEBRATE BRUCE AND PATTI'S 12TH ANNIVERSARY WITH "TOUGHER THAN THE REST," AND CLOSE THE MAIN SET WITH "THE PROMISED LAND." BEING BACK IN ITALY, OF COURSE, GUARANTEES MUCH CROWD PARTICIPATION - THE AUDIENCE ANTICIPATED "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," STARTING THE SONG BEFORE BRUCE DID, AND GOT TWO "BADLANDS" REPRISES. THE SAME ENCORE SET AS DUBLIN, BUT NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT WHEN IT INCLUDES "KITTY'S BACK" AND "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK."

.C18 - JUNE 10, 2003 “MUNICH RISING” MUNICH, GERMANY / OLYMPIC STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: WITH THE ACOUSTIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A." SETTLING INTO THE OPENING SLOT (NOW FOR THE FIFTH SHOW IN A ROW), THE MAIN SET CLOSER BECOMES ONE TO WATCH: IN MUNICH, IT BRINGS THE RETURN (AND THE TOUR PREMIERE) OF "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT." AND ALL THE LITTLE PRETTIES SURELY RAISED THEIR HANDS FOR RARITIES LIKE "JACKSON CAGE," "YOU CAN LOOK," AND "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - JUNE 12, 2003 “HAMBURG RISING” HAMBURG, GERMANY AOL ARENA 3 CDR’S

NOTES: A RAINY NIGHT AND A 27-SONG SET IN HAMBURG, INCLUDING "ATLANTIC CITY," "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)," "RACING IN THE STREET," "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," "HUNGRY HEART" WITH RETURNING GUEST WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN, AND THE FIRST "DOWN BOUND TRAIN" SINCE AUGUST. SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+ (LOUD CLAPPER NEAR THE TAPER). WITH WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN JOINS THE BAND FOR "HUNGRY HEART". DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - JUNE 14, 2003 “UNTITLED” PARKEN, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK 3 CDR’S

NOTES: A HOT SATURDAY NIGHT IN COPENHAGEN FINDS SPRINGSTEEN HANGING UPSIDE DOWN ON THE MICROPHONE STAND. AND WHILE HE MAY NOT BE TURNING THE SETLIST UPSIDE DOWN, HE'S CONTINUED TO KEEP IN MIND THE REPEAT CUSTOMERS: "TAKE 'EM AS THEY COME" AND "POINT BLANK" BOTH HAVE THEIR TOUR PREMIERES, WITH BRUCE DEDICATING THE LATTER TO THE FANS FOLLOWING THE BAND FROM CITY TO CITY. "WE GET A LOT OF REQUESTS AND WE CAN'T PLAY 'EM ALL," HE SAID, "BUT HERE'S ONE." IN THE ENCORES, "DARLINGTON COUNTY" LEADS THINGS OFF, AND BRUCE AND THE BAND JUST CAN'T BRING THEMSELVES TO GO HOME AFTER "DANCING IN THE DARK," SO THEY ADD A BONUS "GLORY DAYS" TO TAKE THE SHOW PAST THE THREE-HOUR MARK. NOTES: SOUND IS GOOD+. SOUND IS A BIT THIN AND BRASSY. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C1 - JUNE 16, 2003 “UNTITLED” OLYMPIC STADIUM, HELSINKI, FINLAND

NOTES: BRUCE AND THE BAND PLAY IT STRAIGHT, SETLIST-WISE, FOR THE FIRST OF BACK-TO-BACK CONCERTS IN HELSINKI. A STANDARD 25-SONG RISING SET INCLUDES "DARLINGTON COUNTY," "MY HOMETOWN," "THUNDER ROAD," AND "GLORY DAYS" AFTER "DANCING IN THE DARK" TO CLOSE THE SHOW. WILL THIS MEAN WILDER WILDCARDS FOR THE SECOND SHOW AT OLYMPIC STADIUM? TUESDAY NIGHT WILL TELL. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD- (MODERATELY TINNY SOUND, ESPECIALLY FOR ITS RECENT VINTAGE). DISC ONE: THERE IS MINOR TAPER NOISE (SOMETHING RUBBING AGAINST THE MIC) PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DISC. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN. DISC TWO: SAME COMMENTS AS DISC ONE. DISC THREE: SAME COMMENTS AS DISC ONE.

C19 - JUNE 17, 2003 “HELSINKI RISING” OLYMPIC STADIUM, HELSINKI, FINLAND 3 CDR’S

NOTES: WHAAAAAA? FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE RISING TOUR, "YOU'RE MISSING" DROPS OUT OF THE SET. IT'S NOT THE SONG WE'D CHOOSE TO LOSE, BUT NEARLY A YEAR INTO THE TOUR, A LITTLE EXPERIMENTATION WITH THE CORE SET SOUNDS GOOD TO US. "EMPTY SKY" IS FOLLOWED INSTEAD BY "THE RIVER," THE TOUR PREMIERE OF A FULL-BAND VERSION. "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" ACTUALLY ROCKED FOR TEN NIGHTS RUNNING, ITS ABSENCE TONIGHT ENDING THAT STREAK. "BORN IN THE U.S.A." IS DROPPED AS WELL, WITH "THE RISING" SHIFTING BACK TO THE OPENING SLOT. IN ALL, QUITE A DIFFERENT SET FROM THE FIRST FINLAND SHOW, WITH NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, INCLUDING "CANDY'S ROOM," "SHE'S THE ONE," "JUNGLELAND," AND "CADILLAC RANCH.” SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. TRACK 1 "THE RISING" HAS AN EDIT @ :29. TRACK 3 "THE TIES THAT BIND" HAS SEVERAL VOLUME/FIDELITY FLUCTUATIONS THROUGHOUT. FIDELITY COMES BACK TO THE NOTED LEVELS WITH THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 4 "CANDY'S ROOM". DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "MARY'S PLACE" CUTS IN ABOUT 2:00 INTO THE "ARE YOU READY?" OPENING SEGMENT. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "CADILLAC RANCH" CUTS IN DURING THE OPENING MUSIC, NO LYRICS ARE LOST.

C19 - JUNE 19, 2003 “OSLO RISING” OSLO, NORWAY VALLE HOVIN 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE OSLO CONCERT INCLUDES TWO SONGS FROM TRACKS: "WHERE THE BANDS ARE" AND "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN." AS ON JUNE 17, A FULL-BAND VERSION OF "THE RIVER" TAKES THE PLACE OF "YOU'RE MISSING." A RELATIVELY SHORT 24-SONG SHOW ALSO BRINGS "SHERRY DARLING," "JUNGLELAND," A SET-CLOSING "THE PROMISED LAND," AND THE RETURN OF "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK." SOUND IS GOOD+ BUT HEAVILY IMPACTED BY THE TERRIBLE WAY IT WAS RECORDED. THIS RECORDING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY A GROUP OF CHIMPS IN ATTENDANCE. BOTH DISCS ARE LITTERED WITH PREMATURE FADES BOTH IN AND OUT. TERRIBLE EDITS THAT MISS LARGE SECTIONS OF MANY SONGS AND MISSING COMPLETE SONGS AS WELL. ALL THE ERRORS WILL NOT BE DOCUMENTED HERE DUE TO MY HOPE THAT A BETTER RECORDING WILL SOMEDAY SURFACE.

C20- JUNE 21, 2003 “LET’S BREAK THE STADIUM…AGAIN!” ULLEVI, GOTHENBORG, SWEDEN 3 CDR’S

NOTES: "YOU'RE MISSING" RETURNS FOR NIGHT ONE IN GOTHENBURG, AND THE FULL-BAND "THE RIVER" STAYS IN AS WELL, BUMPED TOWARD THE END OF THE SET. "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" MAKES A RARE APPEARANCE, AND SHAKING UP THE ENCORES, BABY, IT'S "TWIST AND SHOUT" TO CLOSE. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD- (A BIT THIN, ESPECIALLY FOR THE RECENT VINTAGE). DISC ONE: TRACK 2 "LONESOME DAY" HAS A STATIC BURST FROM 3:15-3:17. TRACK 12 "PROMISED LAND" HAS A LOUD STATIC BURST FROM 2:49-2:50. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - JUNE 22, 2003 “GOTHENBURG RISING NIGHT #2” ULLEVI, GOTHENBORG, SWEDEN 3 CDR’S

NOTES: FOR THE SECOND GOTHENBURG CONCERT, AN EXTENDED SHOW-CLOSING "TWIST AND SHOUT" BRINGS THE SHOW TO THE THREE-AND-A-QUARTER-HOUR MARK, AT 27 SONGS, WITH CONTINUED STADIUM-SHOW TWEAKING MAKING FOR QUITE A SETLIST. THE MAIN SET OPENS WITH "THE PROMISED LAND" AND CLOSES WITH "NO SURRENDER." IN BETWEEN ARE SUCH RARITIES AS "JACKSON CAGE," "ATLANTIC CITY," "GROWIN' UP," AND "RACING IN THE STREET." "HUNGRY HEART" AND THE "DETROIT MEDLEY" MAKE THE ENCORES, FOR A TOTAL OF NINE SONGS IN NIGHT TWO THAT WEREN'T PERFORMED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 2 "MARY’S PLACE" CONTAINS A COUPLE VERSES FROM "DANCING IN THE STREETS". ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 6-7, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "DETROIT MEDLEY" FADES IN DURING THE TRANSITION FROM "BORN TO RUN" TO "DETROIT MEDLEY".

C19 - JUNE 25, 2003 VIENNA ERNST-HAPPEL STADION 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE PENULTIMATE SHOW OF THE EUROPEAN LEG WAS A SHORT ONE BY RECENT STANDARDS, UNDER THREE HOURS, BUT THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR A TRUE RARITY: THE FULL-BAND "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET." THE SHOW OPENED WITH "THE PROMISED LAND," AND AGAIN INCLUDED THE FULL-BAND "THE RIVER" IN PLACE OF "YOU'RE MISSING." "RAMROD" LEAD INTO WHAT WE'RE NOW TOLD WAS A FULL-BAND, FULL VERSION OF "ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN" AS A SPECIAL FOR THE VIENNESE CROWD. THE PENULTIMATE SHOW OF THE EUROPEAN LEG WAS A SHORT ONE BY RECENT STANDARDS, UNDER THREE HOURS, BUT THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR A TRUE RARITY: THE FULL-BAND "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET." THE SHOW OPENED WITH "THE PROMISED LAND," AND AGAIN INCLUDED THE FULL-BAND "THE RIVER" IN PLACE OF "YOU'RE MISSING." ROY ALSO DROPPED A LITTLE "ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN" INTO "RAMROD" FOR THE VIENNESE CROWD. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN. TRACK 10 IS THE FOLK VERSION OF "COUNTIN ON A MIRACLE" THAT PLAYED AFTER THE SHOW.

C2 - JUNE 28, 2003 “ONCE UPON A TIME IN ITALY” SAN SIRO STADIUM, MILAN, ITALY 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE EUROPEAN LEG ENDS WITH A BANG -- QUITE A FEW BANGS, ACTUALLY, AS A THUNDERSTORM SOAKS THE SAN SIRO STADIUM -- BUT WE'RE ALSO REFERRING TO BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND WRAPPING UP THE SHOW WITH "ROSALITA." "ROSIE" HAS COME OUT ONLY ONE OTHER TIME ON THE RISING TOUR SO FAR, IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. AS FOR THAT STORM: DURING "EMPTY SKY" THE SKY IS ACTUALLY FULL OF DARK CLOUDS; RAIN BEGINS AS BRUCE SINGS "THOUGH I KNOW THE RIVER IS DRY…" AND DURING "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," BRUCE AND THE BAND ARE INDEED "WORKIN' WITH THE RAIN FALLIN' DOWN." THE CROWD WAS SOAKED TO THE BONE BY THE TIME OF AN IMPROMPTU MID-SET "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN." WHILE THE RAIN TAPERED OFF, LIGHTNING CONTINUED TO PROVIDE AN EXTRA LIGHT SHOW FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. ALSO A SPECIAL FOR MILAN IS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "FOLLOW THAT DREAM." JON LANDAU GUESTS ON "DANCING IN THE DARK." SOUND IS GOOD+ (MODERATELY THIN AND ECHOEY SOUND). DISC ONE:CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - JULY 15, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - FIRST NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3CDR’S

NOTES: A BEAUTIFUL, BREEZY NEW JERSEY NIGHT FOR THE GIANTS STADIUM OPENER. BRUCE TAKES THE STAGE AT 8:25, KICKING THINGS OFF ON THE ACOUSTIC WITH A SOLO "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," AND "SHERRY DARLING" LATER IN THE SET OFFICIALLY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER SEASON FOR THE ROUGHLY 55,000 IN ATTENDANCE (DESPITE A PLETHORA OF TICKETS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE, THE STADIUM APPEARED PACKED TO THE RAFTERS). DEDICATING "MY CITY OF RUINS" TO THE LOCAL FOODBANK, HE ADDED A PLUG FOR THE SONG'S PRIMARY INSPIRATION, ASBURY PARK. "IF YOU'VE GOT A WEEKEND HERE, IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME, DOWN AT THE SHORE. I'LL SEND THIS OUT TO OUR FRIENDS DOWN THERE, TOO." SPRINGSTEEN HAD A FEW NEW THINGS TO SAY BEING BACK ON U.S. SOIL, THIS BEING THE FIRST RISING SHOW IN THE STATES SINCE APRIL; HIS COMMENTS BEFORE "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" BROUGHT SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHEERS OF THE NIGHT: "PEOPLE COME TO MY SHOWS WITH MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF POLITICAL BELIEFS; I LIKE THAT, WE WELCOME ALL. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS RAISED RECENTLY ABOUT THE FORTHRIGHTNESS OF OUR GOVERNMENT. THIS PLAYING WITH THE TRUTH HAS BEEN A PART OF BOTH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE PAST AND IT IS ALWAYS WRONG, NEVER MORE SO THAN WHEN REAL LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THE QUESTION OF WHETHER WE WERE MISLEAD INTO THE WAR IN IRAQ ISN'T A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE OR REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC QUESTION, IT'S AN AMERICAN ONE. PROTECTING THE DEMOCRACY THAT WE ASK OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO DIE FOR IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND OUR TRUST. DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY FROM OUR LEADERS IS OUR JOB AS CITIZENS. IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY. SO MAY THE TRUTH WILL OUT." BUT SURELY THE BIGGEST CHEERS CAME AFTER "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS," AS BRUCE PROMPTED THE CROWD: "THIS IS THE ONE! THIS IS IT!" AND IF ANYONE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE MEANT, THE GUITAR JANGLE THAT OPENS "ROSALITA" COMPLETED THE PICTURE. RIGHTEOUS! SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "BORN IN THE U.S.A." FADES IN VERY EARLY DURING THE 12 STRING SLIDE GUITAR SOLO. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - JULY 17, 2003 “JERSEY RINSING - SECOND NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S

NOTES: BRUCE FOREGOES AN ACOUSTIC NUMBER ON NIGHT TWO, HE AND THE BAND TAKING THE STAGE TO THE SOUNDS OF FRANK SINATRA'S "SUMMER WIND" AND LAUNCHING STRAIGHT INTO "THE RISING." A TRIPLE-SHOT OF "NIGHT," "CANDY'S ROOM" AND "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" LIGHTS UP THE EARLY PART OF THE SHOW. "GROWIN' UP" (FOR THE "OLD-TIMERS"), "JUNGLELAND," AND "HUNGRY HEART" ARE ALSO IN THE SET. BRUCE REPEATS HIS PSA BEFORE "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" (SEE 7/15 REPORT), AND AS FOR "ROSIE" COMING OUT? SHE'S TWO FOR TWO. (WILL WILD BILLY BE FAR BEHIND? A TUBA WAS VISIBLE ONSTAGE, THOUGH NEVER PLAYED...). SOUND VARIES FROM VERY GOOD TO SUPERB, SEE DISC NOTES. DISC ONE: BIG VOLUME INCREASE @ 2:27 SOUND JUMPS FROM VERY GOOD TO SUPERB FOR THE REST OF THE DISCS. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 3-4 (ENCORE), NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC IS CLEAN.

C19 - JULY 18, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - THIRD NIGHT” EAST RUTHERFORD GIANTS STADIUM 3 CDR’S (2^ND COPY IN C19)

NOTES: A WET AND RAINY NIGHT THREE, BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE THAT MEANS "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN" TO OPEN. PERHAPS STILL TRYING TO DRY THINGS OFF, BRUCE JUMPS FROM "EMPTY SKY" STRAIGHT TO "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" FOR THE FIRST TIME. BUT THE RAIN KEPT COMING DOWN.... SOME CHOICE DARKNESS RARITIES IN THE MAIN SET, "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" AND "RACING IN THE STREET." AND IN THE SIX-SONG FIRST ENCORE: "CADILLAC RANCH," THE "DETROIT MEDLEY," AND SPECIAL GUEST GARLAND JEFFREYS ON THE ? AND THE MYSTERIANS CLASSIC, "96 TEARS." (JEFFREYS LAST GUESTED WITH BRUCE AT THE 2001 HOLIDAY SHOWS.) AS FOR "ROSIE," SHE'S THREE FOR THREE! SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: THE FIDELITY ON THIS DISC BOUNCES AROUND SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN THE AS NOTED VERY GOOD+ LEVEL AND GOOD+. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - JULY 21, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - FOURTH NIGHT” EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ GIANTS STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: ANOTHER WET NIGHT IN JERSEY, AS A MONSTER STORM SOAKS THE PROCEEDINGS HALFWAY THROUGH. BUT IF THIS IS WHAT A STORM BRINGS, LET IT RAIN: "JACKSON CAGE"-"NIGHT"-"PROVE IT"-"TRAPPED" ANYONE? THOUGHT SO. AND THAT JUST GETS US TO SONG SIX. THERE WAS ALSO A FULL-BAND "FOR YOU," AND LOTS OF AUDIBLES INCLUDING "CADILLAC RANCH" ("WE USUALLY SLOW THINGS DOWN NOW, BUT WE'LL KEEP IT FAST SO YOU CAN STAY WARM!"). THE ENCORES BROUGHT SPECIAL GUEST VINI "MAD DOG" LOPEZ FOR "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT," PLUS AUDIBLES "WHERE THE BANDS ARE" AND "HUNGRY HEART." THE WEATHER DIDN'T KEEP "ROSIE" AWAY (SHE'S NOW FOUR FOR FOUR), BUT THIS WAS A RARE OCCASION THAT BRUCE DIDN'T JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO PLAY "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN." MAYBE THIS ONE FELT TOO BIG FOR THAT OL' CREEDENCE MAGIC TO HAVE MUCH OF AN EFFECT. THINGS WERE NASTY ENOUGH THAT THERE WAS SOME TALK OF TAKING A BREATHER, BUT THE SHOW MUST (AND DID) GO ON, CLOCKING IN AT OVER THREE HOURS AND 27 SONGS. SOUND IS GOOD+ (SOMEWHAT MUDDY AND ECHOEY/WARPY SOUNDING, HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE AT TIMES). DISC ONE: OTHER THAN NOTED, THE DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" FEATURES VINI "MAD DOG" LOPEZ ON DRUMS. DISC IS CLEAN.

C19 - JULY 24, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - FIFTH NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S (CURRENTLY MIA)

NOTES: DRY AT LAST, NIGHT FIVE OPENS WITH "THE PROMISED LAND." WHILE THE SHOW IS BACK DOWN TO 24 SONGS, THERE ARE SOME GENUINE RARITIES IN THE SET: THE ONCE-IN-A-BLUE-MOON "STREETS OF FIRE" SHOWS UP EARLY, ITS SECOND PERFORMANCE ON THIS TOUR. "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" WITH GARRY ON STAND-UP BASS LEADS INTO "JUNGLELAND," AND "SANDY" KICKS OFF THE ENCORES. "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" GETS THAT WASHBOARD / HOOTENANNY TREATMENT, AND "ROSIE" KEEPS A-COMIN', NOW FIVE FOR FIVE. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN. DISC THREE: HAS A WELL DONE FADE FROM THE MAIN SHOW TO THE ENCORES.

C19 - JULY 26, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - SIXTH NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S

NOTES: "SINCE THE BAND'S IN PRIME SHAPE, WE'RE GOING TO PLAY A PRIME NUMBER OF SONG'S TONIGHT!" THE CROWD WAS ROOTING FOR A TOUR-RECORD 29, BUT, ALAS, GOT 23. HEY, AT LEAST IT WASN'T 19. OKAY, BRUCE DIDN'T ACTUALLY SAY THAT. BUT WE WERE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY SATURDAY NIGHT GOT THE SHORTEST SHOW OF THE STRETCH. BRUCE MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT BEING SATURDAY NIGHT AND MENTIONED THE CAST AND CREW OF THE SOPRANOS "TELLY-VISION" SHOW WERE IN THE HOUSE. PERHAPS THE BAND WAS SAVING UP FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S JULY FINALE. IN ANY CASE, WHO ARE WE TO COMPLAIN - "ROSIE" IS SIX FOR SIX, "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" WAS A HIGHLIGHT, AND "ADAM" SHOWED UP TO KICK THINGS OFF. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 “ADAM RAISED A CAIN” CUTS IN EARLY IN THE FIRST VERSE. DISC TWO AND THREE ARE CLEAN.

C19 - JULY 27, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - SEVENTH NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S

NOTES: "A GOOD HOT NIGHT - I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ONE OF THESE!" AND THAT IT WAS, A HOT NEW JERSEY NIGHT TO CLOSE OUT THE JULY STAND. THE HEAVENS COOPERATED AS WELL, HOLDING OFF THE RAIN UNTIL THE LAST SONG WAS OVER. AND THAT LAST SONG WAS "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK," ALSO PLAYED AT THE 7/15 OPENER, TO BOOKEND THIS SEVEN-NIGHT RUN. SAME NUMBER OF SONGS AS THE NIGHT BEFORE, 23, BUT THUMBS-UP ON THE SONG SELECTION. CANDY AND KITTY SHOWED UP (AND ROSIE OF COURSE WENT SEVEN FOR SEVEN). THROW IN "SAINT IN THE CITY," "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" INTO OUR NAMESAKE "BACKSTREETS." AND WE'LL CONFESS WE DIDN'T MIND THAT "INTO THE FIRE" TOOK A REST. "SEE YOU IN AUGUST!" YEP.

C19 - AUGUST 1, 2003 “UNTITLED” GILLETTE STADIUM, BOSTON, MA 3 CDR’S

NOTES: WITH A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND THICK FOG SETTLING IN OVER NEW ENGLAND AND BURT BACHARACH'S "RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD" HEARD AS THE BAND TAKES THE STAGE, NIGHT ONE IN FOXBORO GETS NINE SONGS IN THE ENCORES, INCLUDING A NICE TRIBUTE TO THE MAN WHO FOUNDED SUN RECORDS, THE LATE SAM PHILLIPS. AFTER A MAIN SET THAT FEATURED THE RETURN OF BOTH "YOU'RE MISSING" AND "INTO THE FIRE," BRUCE AND CO. CONJURED UP THE GHOST OF ELVIS, NAILING THE PHILLIPS-PENNED "MYSTERY TRAIN." HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED "TENTH AVENUE," "BACKSTREETS," AND THE THIRD U.S. APPEARANCE OF "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK." AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING IF IT WAS JUST A "JERSEY THING," LITTLE MISS "ROSALITA" MADE IT OUT TO PATRIOT COUNTRY TONIGHT. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 2, 2003 FOXBORO GILLETTE STADIUM 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE SECOND SHOW IN FOXBORO AIN'T NO SUNNY DAY, BUT AT LEAST THE DENSE FOG LIFTED. TWO NIGHTS IN ROW NOW WITH NINE SONGS IN THE ENCORES, INCLUDING FOUR FIRST-ENCORE SONGS NOT HEARD THE NIGHT BEFORE. TONIGHT'S BIG TREAT CAME IN THE POST-"MARY'S PLACE" SLOT - A BEAUTIFUL "RACING IN THE STREET" THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER SERVED HAD IT GONE RIGHT INTO "NO SURRENDER." ANOTHER RARE TREAT, "ADAM RAISED A CAIN," OPENED THE SHOW, JUST LIKE IT DID IN ITS OTHER RISING TOUR APPEARANCE EXACTLY ONE WEEK AGO IN EAST RUTHERFORD. AND AS FAR AS OPENERS GO, YOU'D BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER ENCORE-OPENER THAN THE VIBRANT "NIGHT." BUT WITH OVER HALF OF THE 25 SONGS PLAYED TONIGHT COMING FROM EITHER THE RISING OR BORN IN THE USA, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF ROOM FOR RARITIES. THE SECOND ENCORE REMAINED INTACT, AND HAS SO FOR SIX OF THE LAST EIGHT SHOWS. TOUGH TO COMPLAIN, THOUGH - THOSE ARE FOUR GREAT VERSIONS OF FOUR GREAT SONGS. BIDDING FAREWELL TO THIS STADIUM CROWD, BRUCE ACKNOWLEDGED HIS REPEAT CUSTOMERS: "SEE YOU AT FENWAY!" SOUND VARIES, SEE DISC NOTES. TRACK 1 "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" HAS AN EDIT @ 1:27 THAT JUMPS FROM THE PRE-SHOW MUSIC TO THE CONCERT PROPER. TRACK 1 HAS AN EDIT @ 2:18 WHERE THE FIDELITY JUMP FROM VERY GOOD- TO SUPERB. DISC TWO: TRACK 4 "MARY'S PLACE" CONTAINS A QUICK VERSE FROM "DANCING IN THE STREETS". DISC IS CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 6, 2003 “PITTSBURGH RISING” PITTSBURGH, PA PNC PARK 3 CDR’S
NOTES: THE INAUGURAL CONCERT AT PNC PARK IS ALSO THE FIRST OF THE E STREET BAND'S BALLPARK SHOWS-A FACT NOT LOST ON THEM, WITH BRUCE SAYING THAT HE AND THE BAND WOULD "TRY TO HIT A HOME RUN... A GRAND SLAM!" NILS, ROY, AND DANNY-ALL ON ACCORDION- HAD THE FIRST AT-BAT, OPENING THE SHOW WITH "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME." BRUCE REFERRED TO THEM AS "THE THREE TENORS" AS THE REST OF THE BAND THEN TOOK THEIR SPOTS, AND THE SET PROPER STARTED OFF WITH "JACKSON CAGE." "GLORY DAYS" TURNED UP IN THE ENCORE, OF COURSE, AND WITH A LITTLE HOMETOWN HELP. A SPECIAL GUEST IN PITTSBURGH? THREE GUESSES, AND THE FIRST TWO DON'T COUNT. YEP, STEELTOWN'S JOE GRUSHECKY JOINS IN ON "GLORY DAYS," WITH HIS SON JOHNNY AS WELL. A LONG SHOW AT 27 SONGS (28, COUNTING THE ACCORDION TRIPLE-PLAY), INCLUDING STANDOUTS LIKE "STREETS OF FIRE," "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT," "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)"... AND "ROSIE" KEEPS COMIN' ON STRONG. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 5-6, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - AUGUST 8, 2003 “UNTITLED” PHILADELPHIA, PA / LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD
NOTES: THE PHILLY STAND BEGINS WITH A FULL-BAND "THE PROMISED LAND," BRUCE PLAYING HIS BELOVED OLD ESQUIRE FOR THIS ONE. WEARING HIS "ONLY IN PHILLY" GREEN SHIRT, HE PULLED OUT "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT," "NIGHT," "SHERRY DARLING," AND "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK." "BOBBY JEAN" WAS DEDICATED "TO KARYN." AND CLEARLY THE HOLY-SHIT MOMENT OF THE NIGHT: A FULL-BAND "LOST IN THE FLOOD." WHILE A SOLO-PIANO ARRANGEMENT HAS PREVIOUSLY TURNED UP ON THIS TOUR, THIS WAS THE FIRST ELECTRIC ONE SINCE THE 7/1/00 PERFORMANCE CAPTURED ON LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: ROUGH EDIT FROM TRACKS 7-8, NO MUSIC AFFECTED

C19 - AUGUST 9, 2003 “PHILLY RISING-FIRST NIGHT” PHILADELPHIA, PA / LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD 3 CDR’S
NOTES: ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT'S THE SONG THAT PLAYED AS BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS TOOK THE STAGE, AND AS WITH THE LAST TWO SATURDAY SHOWS, THEY OPENED THIS ONE UP WITH "ADAM RAISED A CAIN." SOME REAL TREATS FOR PHILLY TONIGHT: FULL-BAND "FOR YOU" AND "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" FOR THE OLD-TIMERS, "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" FOR EVERYONE WHO THOUGHT HE'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE TUNNEL ALBUM, AND "TRAPPED" FOR EVERYONE WHO... WELL, FOR EVERYONE. OTHER THAN THE UNSHAKEABLE "BORN TO RUN," AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FIRST ENCORE FROM LAST NIGHT, INCLUDING "WHERE THE BANDS ARE" AND "I'M A ROCKER." JON LANDAU HELPS WRAP THIS NIGHT UP, PLAYING GUITAR ON "DANCING IN THE DARK.” SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 8 "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" HAS 2 SOUND GLITCHES FROM 6:50-7:00. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C17 - AUGUST 11, 2003 “HOWLIN’ IN PHILLY” PHILADELPHIA, PA LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD 3 CDR’S
NOTES: HANG ON-- WE'RE STILL PICKING OUR JAWS UP OFF THE FLOOR. THE LAST OF THREE IN PHILLY HAD BRUCE LITERALLY HOWLING AT THE MOON, A 27-SONG SHOW OF WHICH A FULL-BAND "INCIDENT" AND "SAINT IN THE CITY" ARE FURTHER DOWN THE LIST OF NOTABLES. WHERE DO WE START - AT THE BEGINNING, WITH RIVER-ERA OUTTAKE "FROM SMALL THINGS" TO OPEN? OR AT THE END, A SIX-SONG SECOND ENCORE THAT CLOSED THE SHOW WITH "I'M A ROCKER" AND BROUGHT "PRETTY FLAMINGO"? YEP, "PRETTY FLAMINGO," THE MANFRED MANN SONG BRUCE HASN'T PLAYED SINCE 1978. IN BETWEEN, THERE WAS THE LONG-LOST "I'M GOIN' DOWN" BY REQUEST, "BE TRUE," "STREETS OF PHILLY"... OH HELL, CHECK OUT THE FULL SETLIST. SO THAT'S WHY PHILLY SHOWS HAVE A REP... WE FORGOT FOR A SECOND. SOUND IS VERY GOOD- (A BIT TINNY SOUNDING). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 13, 2003 “CHICAGO RISING” CHICAGO, IL / U.S. CELLULAR FIELD 3 CDR’S
NOTES: BRUCE AND THE BAND TOOK THE STAGE TO THE SOUND OF SINATRA'S "MY KIND OF TOWN," FOR A CHICAGO ONE-NIGHT-STAND THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BACK TO BASICS SETLIST-WISE, BUT STILL HAD ITS FAIR SHARE OF RAZZMATAZZ. THEY HAD TO WAIT A BIT LONGER DURING "SUNNY DAY" WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ONSTAGE, MAKING FOR A MARATHON VERSION OF THE SONG. AS THE BAND KEPT PLAYING, BRUCE MESSED AROUND WITH SOME FLASHLIGHTS AND BROUGHT THE CROWD-PARTICIPATION BIT BACK AROUND THREE TIMES UNTIL THE LIGHTS FINALLY CAME BACK ON. THAT (ALONG WITH THE THREE REPRISES OF "DANCING IN THE DARK") MAY HELP EXPLAIN WHY, AT 25 SONGS, THE SHOW LASTED THREE HOURS AND TEN MINUTES. SETLIST NOTABLES WERE "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" TO OPEN, "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" (RATHER THAN THE SETLISTED ALTERNATE "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT") "BACKSTREETS," "WHERE THE BANDS ARE," AND AN AUDIBLE "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 IS THE PRE-SHOW MUSIC ONLY. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 16 “SAN FRANCISCO RISING” SAN FRANCISCO, CA PACIFIC BELL PARK 3 CDR’S
NOTES: A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA. AS BRUCE SAYS, USUALLY HE'D BE "SWEATING HIS ASS OFF" AFTER THE FIRST FIVE OR SIX SONGS...BUT NOT SO IN THE CITY OF LAYERED CLOTHING. RARITIES TONIGHT INCLUDED "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" (VERY STRONG) AND "ACROSS THE BORDER." IN THE WORDS OF BRUCE, THE LATTER WAS "A LITTLE CALIFORNIA MUSIC." TO THE FOLKS IN THE WESTERN BRANCH OFFICE OF BACKSTREETS, THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW WAS THE STRONGEST THE BAY AREA (AND THE NORTHWEST) HAS SEEN SINCE PERHAPS THE SECOND NIGHT IN OAKLAND IN 1999. IF NOT BEFORE. "ACROSS THE BORDER" WAS A BEAUTIFUL FULL BAND ARRANGEMENT, BUT IT TOOK UNTIL "BORN TO RUN" FOR THE CROWD TO GET BACK IN THE GROOVE. FEATURES THE DEBUT FULL BAND PERFORMANCE OF ACROSS THE BORDER. SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: TRACK 1 "MY CITY OF RUINS" CUTS OFF @ :21, MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 17, 2003 “HOLLYWOOD HOUSE PARTY” LOS ANGELES, CA DODGER STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: I WAS THERE! PERFECT WEATHER AT DODGER STADIUM - HEY, IT'S SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? - AS BRUCE AND THE BAND COME OUT TO THE SOUNDS OF THE BEACH BOYS' "CALIFORNIA GIRLS," OPENING THE SHOW AGAIN WITH "THE PROMISED LAND." WITH VERY FEW CONCERTS SCHEDULED FOR WEST COAST AUDIENCES, BRUCE SEEMS TO BE MAKING SURE THEY GET THE ESSENCE OF THE RISING TOUR, WITH A STANDARD SHOW IN L.A. THAT DIFFERED LITTLE FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE IN SAN FRANCISCO. THAT INCLUDED ANOTHER VERSION OF THE RARE "ACROSS THE BORDER," AS WELL AS "WHO IS THE GOVERNOR" JOKES (AND MAYBE CLARENCE SHOULD STEP IN AND CLEAR UP THE WHOLE RECALL MESS). SETTING THE "HOLLYWOOD HOUSE PARTY" APART FROM THE PREVIOUS NIGHT: "DARKNESS," "YOU CAN LOOK," AND "I'M A ROCKER." SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 28, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - EIGHTH NIGHT” EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ / GIANTS STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: A TEN-DAY LAYOFF FINDS BRUCE AND THE BAND BACK ON THEIR HOME TURF AT GIANTS STADIUM. THEY'RE TAN. THEY'RE RESTED. THEY'RE READY...READY TO BE FILMED, APPARENTLY! THERE WERE PLENTY OF HIGH-DEFINITION CAMERAS IN PLACE AROUND THE STAGE (MUCH LIKE THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN SHOWS IN THE SUMMER OF 2000) LEADING SOME TO WONDER IF THEIR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WAS ABOUT TO GET A LOT EASIER. THERE WERE ALSO REPORTS OF TWO DISTINCT SOUND CHECKS, ONE OF WHICH INCLUDED A RUN-THROUGH OF "LOST IN THE FLOOD." BUT THAT NUGGET DID NOT FIND ITS WAY INTO THE SETLIST TONIGHT. A SHORT, TIGHT, AND FAIRLY STANDARD SHOW AS THE FILMING COMMENCES: RARITIES INCLUDED "BE TRUE" AND "INDEPENDENCE DAY"--BOTH, APPARENTLY BY REQUEST--AND ANOTHER STAB AT "FROM SMALL THINGS," THIS TIME WITH SPECIAL GUEST BOBBY BANDIERA. ALSO OF NOTE, "THE FUSE" REAPPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE EUROPEAN LEG AT THE END OF MAY. AND THE "DANCING IN THE DARK" FINALE FINALLY HAD BRUCE DANCING AGAIN WITH A LUCKY GIRL IN THE FIRST ROW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 5 "FROM SMALL THINGS ..." FEATURES BOBBY BANDIERA ON CO-LEAD VOCALS. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 30, 2003 “JERSEY RISING - NINTH NIGHT” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S

NOTES: IN THE WORLD OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN CONCERTS, SOME NIGHTS SEEM EARMARKED AS SPECIAL BEFORE THE FIRST NOTE IS EVEN PLAYED. WHETHER IT'S A BIRTHDAY SHOW OR THE LAST CONCERT OF A LENGTHY STAND, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET A HUNCH. THERE WEREN'T MANY GOOD HUNCHES FLYING AROUND AFTER THURSDAY'S STANDARD SET, FILMED BY A PROFESSIONAL CREW. SO SATURDAY NIGHT AT GIANTS STADIUM (NIGHT 9 OF 10, IF YOU'RE KEEPING SCORE) CAUGHT QUITE A FEW FOLKS OFF GUARD AS SPRINGSTEEN RAISED THE STAKES AND HAD THE CROWD RAISING THEIR HANDS IN JOY, GRATITUDE, AND DISBELIEF. AS THE FILMING CONTINUED--WITH STILL NO OFFICIAL WORD AS TO WHY--BRUCE AND THE BAND BUSTED OUT OF THE GATE WITH THE ULTRA-RARE "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART," AND ESTABLISHED NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR A RISING TOUR THAT IS MOST LIKELY A MONTH AWAY FROM WRAPPING. ELEVEN SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, TEN SONGS IN THE ENCORES, TWO SPECIAL GUESTS, TOUR PREMIERES, RARITIES, DEDICATIONS...THIS ONE HAD IT ALL. HIGHLIGHTS (AND THERE WERE MANY) INCLUDED "TRAPPED," "ROLL OF THE DICE," "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND THE SECOND APPEARANCE OF "PRETTY FLAMINGO" SINCE 1978. SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED THE MAIN-SET CLOSER "THUNDER ROAD" TO THE FAMILY AND MEMORY OF JIM BERGER, WHO WAS KILLED IN THE SEPTEMBER 11 TRAGEDY. EMMYLOU HARRIS JOINED BRUCE FOR A POIGNANT "ACROSS THE BORDER," AND THE PHILADELPHIA-BASED BAND MARAH HELPED OUT ON "RAISE YOUR HAND." A SPECIAL NIGHT FOR MANY, THIS SEEMED TO BE THE SHOW THAT SAID, "HANG ON PHILLY, JERSEY'S BACK IN TOWN!" SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - AUGUST 31, 2003 “LAST NEW JERSEY HOUSE PARTY” GIANTS STADIUM, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 3 CDR’S

NOTES: NIGHT 10 AT GIANTS STADIUM CLOSED OUT THE STAND IN STYLE, WITH A FANTASTIC MIX OF THE OLD AND THE NEW, GREATEST HITS AND GREATEST MISSES, ALL FOR AN ECSTATIC LABOR DAY WEEKEND CROWD. MIX TOGETHER THE LAST TWO NIGHTS OF A LENGTHY STAND WITH THE ATTENDANCE OF A WORKING FILM CREW AND WHAT YOU GET ARE THE KINDS OF SETLISTS THAT SPRINGSTEEN FANS HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR SINCE THIS TOUR BEGAN. IF YOU KNEW TONIGHT’S OPENER FROM THE FIRST FEW NOTES, WELL, STEP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE OF THE LEGION OF BRUCE. THE SOUNDS OF “CYNTHIA” HIT THE NEW JERSEY AIR JUST AFTER 8:30PM TO MAKE HER LIVE PERFORMANCE DEBUT, AND IT MADE THIS SHOW A REAL “YEAH, YEAH, ALRIGHT!!” FOR DIEHARDS. OTHER STANDOUTS: “LUCKY TOWN,” “SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT,” “LOST IN THE FLOOD,” AND FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW “BECAUSE THE NIGHT” SIZZLED LIKE A FRIED EGG ON A HOT TEXAS STREET. UM, AND THAT WAS BEFORE THE ENCORES. “KITTY’S BACK” KICKED THOSE OFF, ONLY TO BE TOPPED BY THE “WILL-HE-OR-WON’T-HE” (HE WILL!) APPEARANCE OF TOM WAITS’ “JERSEY GIRL” TO CLOSE THINGS OUT. SPRINGSTEEN THANKED THOSE OF HIS FANS WHO COME TO THE SHOWS NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, WITH A SPECIAL NOD TO THOSE LONG DISTANCE TRAVELERS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 3-4 (ENCORE #1), NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 6, 2003 “BARKING AT THE MOON IN FENWAY” BOSTON, MA FENWAY PARK 3 CDR’S
NOTES: "I WANNA SEE THE GREEN MONSTER!" AND WITH THAT, BRUCE LED THE BAND (MINUS CLARENCE) OUT TOWARDS THE LEFT-FIELD WALL DURING THEIR NIGHTLY "RAMROD" EXCURSION. HE MIGHT HAVE USED CELESTIAL NAVIGATION TO MAKE HIS WAY OUT THERE - HE HOWLED AT THE MOON AND POINTED OUT MARS TO CLARENCE. A VERY GOOD SHOW IN FENWAY PARK TONIGHT, PERHAPS RUSHED AT THE END DUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD CURFEW? NO "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS!" BRUCE SAID IT WAS A "LOVELY PRIVILEGE" TO PLAY IN THE HEART OF BOSTON AND FELT THE "SOUL OF THE CITY" IN FENWAY. OPENER "DIDDY WAH DIDDY" WAS A "HIT" FOR BOSTON BAND BARRY & THE REMAINS. OTHER APPEARANCES OF NOTE: A FULL BAND "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," "BE TRUE," "JANEY DON'T YOU LOSE HEART," AND PERENNIAL BOSTON GUEST PETER WOLF. NOT BAD FOR A "NIGHT A" SET. SOUND IS VERY GOOD-. ALL DISCS HAVE MINOR VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. THERE ARE ALSO PERIODS OF VERY LOUD AUDIENCE NOISE. DISC ONE: BAD EDITS FROM TRACKS 7-8, AND 8-9. TRACK 8 IS JUST A 4 SECOND JUNK TRACK WITH SOME AUDIENCE NOISE ON IT SO NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. DISC TWO: TRACK 9 "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" HAS A LITTLE BOY NEAR THE TAPER VIGOROUSLY SINGING ALONG TO THE CHORUS... IT SEEMS THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPRINGSTEEN FANS ARE WELL ALONG IN THEIR INDOCTRINATION. DISC THREE: THERE IS A BIG BURST OF NOISE FROM TRACK 4-5, NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. TRACK 5 "DIRTY WATER" FEATURES FORMER J. GEILS BAND FRONT MAN PETER WOLF ON CO-LEAD VOCALS.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 7, 2003 “FENWAY RISING SECOND NIGHT” BOSTON, MA FENWAY PARK 3 CDR’S
NOTES: "IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK AT FENWAY ANOTHER NIGHT. WE HAD A HELL OF A TIME LAST NIGHT. WE'LL DO IT AGAIN AND THEN SOME." AND THEY DID. BRUCE AND THE BAND ALWAYS SEEM TO RISE TO THE OCCASION ON THE FINAL NIGHT OF ANY BOSTON STAND (THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLES BEING DECEMBER 16TH, 1996 AND AUGUST 27TH 1999). "FRANKIE" BY REQUEST. "FURTHER ON UP THE ROAD." PETER WOLF MAKING IT TWO FOR TWO. SCORCHING GUITAR LEADS ON "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" AND "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" THAT SEEMED TO BE A BIG, FAT "OH YEAH?" TO THOSE ROLLING STONERS WHO DIDN'T SEE FIT TO PUT BRUCE IN THEIR LATEST TOP 100 GUITARISTS LISTS. OH, AND THAT "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" "FOR YOU" TWO-FER. AND MORE. BRUCE GOT INTO THE BOSTON SPIRIT, OFFERING A "ROCK AND ROLL EXORCISM" AGAINST THE DAY'S SPORTS TEAM LOSSES AND THE EVER PRESENT CURSE OF THE BAMBINO. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE DURING THE QUIET TRACKS...ASSHOLES! DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 10, 2003 “UNTITLED” TORONTO, ON SKYDOME 3 CDR’S
NOTES: "MAN, I'D LIKE TO STAY / BUT I'M BOUND FOR GLORY / I'M ON MY WAY / MY RIDE'S HERE..." AT THEIR FIRST SHOW SINCE WE LEARNED OF WARREN ZEVON'S DEATH, BRUCE AND THE BAND LOSE NO TIME BEFORE PAYING TRIBUTE, OPENING TORONTO WITH ZEVON'S "MY RIDE'S HERE." A STRAIGHTFORWARD SETLIST OTHERWISE, WITH "YOU'RE MISSING," "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE," AND "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" BACK IN THEIR ORIGINAL SLOTS. NOTABLES INCLUDE "TRAPPED" AND "BECAUSE THE NIGHT.” SOUND IS GOOD- (VERY ECHOEY, VERY BASS HEAVY SOUND, SCREAMER NEAR THE TAPER). DISC ONE: THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF TRACK 1 IS A MESS OF TAPER NOISE BUT NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 13, 2003 “UNTITLED” WASHINGTON, DC FEDEX FIELD 3 CDR’S
NOTES: THE DC SHOW OPENS WITH THE ANTICIPATED TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY -- NO, NOT THE "THREE'S COMPANY" THEME, BUT THE MAN IN BLACK'S SIGNATURE "I WALK THE LINE" FEATURING BRUCE ON ACOUSTIC. THAT WAS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL TREATS HERE IN BACKSTREETS' BACKYARD. WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT WE'D HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A STADIUM SHOW TO GET "PARADISE"? THE VIRGINIA HILLS HAVEN'T QUITE GONE TO BROWN, BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE FOR THAT SONG'S TOUR-PROPER DEBUT. ANOTHER RARITY WAS "HUMAN TOUCH" (SOUNDCHECKED TONIGHT ALONG WITH "LIVING PROOF") WHICH, PLAYED BACK-TO- BACK WITH A FEROCIOUS "SHE'S THE ONE," WOULD ALMOST HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT BRUCE WAS ONE OF THE 100 GREATEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME. AND IN THE ENCORES, THE WHY-HASN'T-THIS-TURNED-UP-BEFORE "PINK CADILLAC," ANOTHER TOUR PREMIERE. HOW'S THAT FOR PURIFIED AND EXPUNGED? BRUCE AND THE BAND WILL RETURN TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION BEFORE TAKING THE STAGE AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT IN CHAPEL HILL. SOUND IS GOOD+ ( MODERATELY ECHOEY, ESPECIALLY FOR ITS RECENT VINTAGE, VERY HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE THROUGHOUT ALL DISCS). DISC ONE: TRACK 11 "HUMAN TOUCH" CUTS OFF AT 2:50 AT THE LYRIC "...YOU CAN’T SHUT OFF THE RISK AND THE PAIN...". THE EST OF THIS 6:50 TRACK IS BLANK. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 14, 2003 “CHAPEL HILL RISING” CHAPEL HILL, NC KENAN STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: THERE WERE NO BEER SALES AT THIS COLLEGE FOOTBALL STADIUM AND APPARENTLY THE INSECT POPULATION WAS NONE TOO PLEASED. PLENTY OF BIG SOUTHERN BUGS WERE SEEN DIVE-BOMBING THE STAGE LEADING BRUCE TO SNAG ONE AND ASK, “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, THE SCHOOL MASCOT? I THOUGHT THE MOSQUITOES IN NEW JERSEY WERE BIG!” THE SHOWS WERE BIG THERE, TOO, BUT NJ RARELY GOT TEN SONGS IN THE ENCORES. STANDOUT MOMENTS: “I WALK THE LINE” HONORED JOHNNY CASH FOR A SECOND NIGHT, THE EMOTIONAL “AMERICAN SKIN (41 SHOTS)” MADE AN UNLIKELY APPEARANCE FOLLOWING “MARY’S PLACE,” AND THE TOUR PREMIERE OF “BRILLIANT DISGUISE” KICKED OFF THE SECOND ENCORE BY REQUEST. BUT PERHAPS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT CAME WHEN THE VERY-UNDERRATED “LIVING PROOF” WAS GIVEN ITS FIRST E STREET BAND LIVE-WITH-AN-AUDIENCE WORKOUT. THIS HT/LT-ERA GEM WAS DELIVERED WITH THE KIND OF INTENSITY AND POWER THAT BUILDS UP AFTER TEN YEARS ON THE SHELF. “JUNGLELAND” WAS PLAYED FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW, AND CLARENCE “THE BIG MAN…ON CAMPUS” CLEMONS REALLY NAILED THE SOLO AT CENTER STAGE BOTH NIGHTS. AND IN A TRUE SPONTANEOUS MOMENT, SOME CLEVER-THINKING WOMAN HELD UP A SIGN AND WAS PULLED ON STAGE FOR “DANCING IN THE DARK.” THINK YOU HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE? WELL, SHE WAS NO “COURTNEY COX,” RATHER “JON LANDAU," AND THE WOMAN WAS WELL REWARDED FOR THAT CLEVER STROKE. GIVEN A GUITAR TO STRUM AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SING WITH SPRINGSTEEN, THIS CAROLINA SONGBIRD MADE THE MOST OF HER ONE BIG SHOT TO HAM IT UP WITH BRUCE TO THE DELIGHT OF THOUSANDS. LOOK FOR DETAILS IN THE NEXT ISSUE OF BACKSTREETS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C22 - SEPTEMBER 16, 2003 HARTFORD 3 CDR’S

SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD-. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 “HARTFORD RISING” HARTFORD, CT / RENTSCHLER FIELD 3 CDR’S
NOTES: RENTSCHLER FIELD MAY HAVE ONLY BEEN 3/4 FULL FOR NIGHT TWO, BUT THOSE WHO TOOK THEIR CHANCES WITH ISABEL TRULY GOT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. ON THIS WINDY BUT RAIN-FREE NIGHT, THE SHOW OPENS WITH THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" (ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE!). THAT WAS JOINED LATER BY BOTH "LEAP OF FAITH" AND "LIVING PROOF," FOR AN ASTOUNDING TRIPLE-SHOT OF GREAT "LOST" '90S SONGS. (SURELY A SOLO-PIANO "REAL WORLD" CAN'T BE FAR BEHIND?) FOR THOSE WHO PREFER THEIR RARITIES A BIT MORE VINTAGE, WE HAVE AN '80S SELECTION OF "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART" AND "I'M GOIN' DOWN." YOU HAVE A TASTE FOR THE '70S? WELL, WE HAVE THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "FACTORY" (A FULL-BAND PERFORMANCE IN PLACE OF "YOU'RE MISSING"), "NIGHT," "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND A SOLO-PIANO "INCIDENT." AND THOSE ARE JUST THE SPECIALS. YOU WANTED A HURRICANE? SORRY, WE'RE FRESH OUT. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C18 - SEPTEMBER 20, 2003 “COUNTY FAIR NIGHT” BUFFALO, NY DARIEN LAKE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 3 CDR’S
NOTES: THIS WAS NOT A DARK RIDE - NOT BY A LONGSHOT. THOUGH SOME TICKETHOLDERS WERE ORIGINALLY UPSET BY THE MOVE FROM RALPH J. WILSON STADIUM TO DARIEN LAKE, THE CHANGE OF VENUE BROUGHT SOME REAL THRILLS AND CHILLS TO BUFFALO. APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH FOR THIS AMUSEMENT PARK STAGE, THE SORELY MISSED "TUNNEL OF LOVE" KICKED THINGS OFF, THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OF THE SONG IN 15 YEARS. IT WAS FOLLOWED BY FELLOW TUNNEL TUNE "BRILLIANT DISGUISE," AND OTHER LATTER-DAY TREATS LIKE "LEAP OF FAITH" AND "JANEY" ALSO MADE THE SET. WHILE SOME PREDICTED THAT "TUNNEL" WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE BUFFALO SIX FLAGS SETTING, NO ONE (AND WE MEAN LITERALLY NO ONE) PREDICTED THE OTHER THRILL-RIDE SONG OF THE NIGHT: THE NEVER-RELEASED, NEVER-PERFORMED "COUNTY FAIR." THE SONG, WHICH DATES BACK TWO DECADES, HAS MADE THE ROUNDS IN COLLECTORS' CIRCLES AS A TREASURED STUDIO OUTTAKE, BUT THERE NEVER SEEMED TO BE HOPE OF HEARING THE SONG LIVE (MUCH LIKE "THIS HARD LAND" BEFORE BRUCE REDISCOVERED THE SONG AND DEBUTED IT IN 1993). FOR SOME, SURELY THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE TOUR; THIS "COUNTY FAIR" PERFORMANCE FEATURED DANNY ON ACCORDION AND SOOZIE ON FIDDLE. CAN YOU SAY ESSENTIAL DISC THREE? IN THE ENCORE, BUFFALO NATIVE WILLIE NILE JOINED IN ON GUITAR FOR "GLORY DAYS." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C20 - SEPTEMBER 21, 2003 “UNTITLED” COMERICA PARK, DETROIT, MI 3 CDR’S

NOTES: WHO KNOWS WHAT INSPIRED BRUCE'S SUDDEN RECOLLECTION THAT HE WROTE SONGS AFTER 1984... BUT WE LIKE IT. THE E STREET TREATMENT OF '92 MATERIAL CONTINUES WITH "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" TO OPEN AND THE E STREET PREMIERES OF "LOCAL HERO" AND "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD." AND DON'T FORGET THE MOTOR CITY: SHE GOT A NAMECHECK DURING "MARY'S PLACE" WITH A SNIPPET OF "DANCING IN THE STREET," BUT THE REAL TREAT CAME DURING THE SIX-SONG FIRST ENCORE WHEN ONE OF DETROIT'S OWN TOOK THE STAGE. SORRY, NOT EMINEM, BUT MOTOWN ALUM MARTHA REEVES, OF MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS, FOR "HEAT WAVE." STRANGELY, NO "DETROIT MEDLEY" TONIGHT. AT THE END OF THE SHOW, CLARENCE AND STEVE HELP LEAD THE CROWD IN SINGING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO BRUCE, WHO TURNS 54 ON TUESDAY. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. SMALL STATIC POPS AT EACH TRACK CHANGE PROBABLY INDICATE A MINI-DISC SOURCE FOR THIS RECORDING. THERE IS A VERY LOUD AUDIENCE MEMBER NEAR THE TAPER. IN GENERAL, THE TALKING BY THE AUDIENCE THROUGHOUT THIS CONCERT IS INFURIATING, ANY REGULARS TO MY REVIEWS KNOW ALL TOO WELL HOW I FEEL ABOUT CONCERT TALKERS. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" HAS A BIG SOUND BURP AT ABOUT 3:30. TRACK 4 "NIGHT" HAS A SOUND GOOF @ 3:15 BUT IT IS AFTER THE SONG SO NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. TRACK 7 "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" HAS A DIGITAL SOUND GOOF AT 3:58. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" HAS A DIGITAL GOOF @ 1:14. TRACK 4 "MARY'S PLACE" HAS A "DANCING IN THE STREET" INTRODUCTION. TRACK 5 "JUNGLELAND" HAS A SOUND A SOUND GLITCH AT 9:35. TRACK 5 |"INTO THE FIRE" HAS A DIGITAL BLEEP @ 4:00. DISC THREE: TRACK 7 "MY CITY OF RUINS" HAS A DIGITAL GOOF @ 4:35. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL OTHER MINOR STATIC GLITCHS THROUGHOUT THIS DISC.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 25, 2003 “A MILE HIGH RISING” DENVER, CO INVESCO FIELD AT MILE HIGH 3 CDR’S
NOTES: MILE-HIGH AND HALF-FULL, BUT A PACKED SETLIST FOR INVESCO FIELD: 27 SONGS IN ALL, AND 20 IN THE MAIN SET. DENVER GETS A NAMECHECK AND A TOUR PREMIERE RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE AS BOB SEGER'S "GET OUT OF DENVER" STARTS THE SHOW. LIKE "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK," SPRINGSTEEN HAD COVERED THE SONG AT THE RCDS BENEFITS AT THE STONE PONY, BUT THIS IS THE E STREET BAND DEBUT. A VERY WELCOME RETURN APPEARANCE OF THE '87 DOUBLE-SHOT "TUNNEL OF LOVE" AND "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" - AND SPEAKING OF WELCOME RETURNS, KITTY COMES BACK DOWN THE ALLEY FOR THE FIRST ENCORE. ALSO IN THE SET: "LEAP OF FAITH," "NIGHT," "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND "ACROSS THE BORDER." RISING PRODUCER BRENDAN O'BRIEN PLAYS GUITAR ON "ROSALITA." SOUND IS A SUPERB AUDIENCE DAT. DISC ONE: TRACK 9 "DARLINGTON COUNTY" HAS A QUICK BURST OF STATIC AFTER THE SONG CONCLUDES, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: CLEAN.

C19 - SEPTEMBER 27, 2003 “MILWAUKEE RISING” MILWAUKEE. MILLER PARK 3 CDR’S

NOTES: "ARE YOU LOOSE?" YEP, WE'RE BACK IN MILWAUKEE, AS IF YOU COULDN'T TELL FROM DANNY AND ROY'S CHEESEHEADS. "CANDY'S ROOM" OPENS THE SHOW, WITH INTERESTING COMBOS ALONG THE WAY LIKE "MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN" INTO "BRILLIANT DISGUISE," AND "BOBBY JEAN" INTO "KITTY'S BACK." PLUS "THE FUSE," "TWO HEARTS," "ACROSS THE BORDER," AND "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN" (THE LATTER LESS OF A CONCERN, THANKS TO THE NEW MILLER PARK'S RETRACTABLE ROOF). FOR A TRUE LOCAL SPECIAL, DANNY STRAPPED ON HIS ACCORDION AS BRUCE CALLED OUT THE KEY OF "C" FOR "BEER BARREL POLKA," TELLING THE HOME OF THE BREWERS, "WE'VE ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON" AS A WEDDING BAND. AND AS A POST-"DANCING" BONUS, "CADILLAC RANCH" ROCKED THIS WISCONSIN NIGHT ONE MORE TIME. SOUND IS VERY GOOD- (A BIT ECHOEY). DISC ONE: ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - OCTOBER 1, 2003 “SHEA RISING - FIRST NIGHT” NEW YORK SHEA STADIUM 3 CDR’S

NOTES: NIGHT ONE. BEATLES SCHMEATLES, THE MAIN SET OPENS WITH "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" (COMPLETE WITH A NEW "WMD" DUBYA SOUND-BITE INTRO) AND CLOSES WITH "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN." ADD THE RETURN OF THE FULL-BAND "BORN IN THE U.S.A." IN THE ENCORES, AND YOU'VE GOT A POWERHOUSE POLITICAL SHOW WITH CURRENT WORLD EVENTS AT THE FORE MORE THAN ANY BRITISH INVASION. TWO TOUR PREMIERES TONIGHT: WE FINALLY GET DEEPER INTO NEBRASKA WITH A FULL-BAND "JOHNNY 99" (LAST PLAYED BY BRUCE ON THE TOM JOAD TOUR IN '97), AND "MAN'S JOB" HAS ITS E STREET BAND DEBUT, BRUCE'S FIRST AIRING OF THE SONG IN MORE THAN TEN YEARS. "NIGHT" (REPLACING THE SETLISTED "ROULETTE"), "TUNNEL," AND "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" ALL TURN UP, AND BRUCE DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM "AMERICAN SKIN" UPON RETURNING TO NEW YORK. IN THE ENCORES, "KITTY'S BACK" IS TONIGHT'S SERENADE FROM THE SECOND RECORD. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C19 - OCTOBER 3, 2003 “NEXT TO LAST DANCE” FLUSHING, NY SHEA STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: FOR THE PENULTIMATE CONCERT OF THE TOUR, SPRINGSTEEN PULLS OUT SOME BIG GUNS: A MIGHTY "ROULETTE" TO OPEN, AND A BEAUTIFUL "NEW YORK CITY SERENADE," WITH GARRY ON STAND-UP BASS, TO WARM UP A CHILLY NIGHT AT SHEA. BOTH WERE TOUR PREMIERES, AS WERE "RENDEZVOUS" AND "ANOTHER THIN LINE" (AN UNRELEASED SONG CO-WRITTEN WITH JOE GRUSHECKY, DEBUTED AT THE END OF THE REUNION TOUR, AND A STRONG CONTENDER FOR ESSENTIAL DISC 3). "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" AGAIN INCLUDED THE "57 CHANNELS"-STYLE "MASS DESTRUCTION" SOUND-BITE INTRO, AND WHILE NIGHT 2 WAS LESS OVERTLY POLITICAL THAN NIGHT 1, THE SHOW DID INCLUDE A QUICK GUEST SPOT FROM AL FRANKEN DURING THE BAND INTROS, AS AN ALTERNATE "BIG MAN." A WILD SETLIST AND POWERFUL PERFORMANCE ALL AROUND, THOUGH THOSE HOPING FOR SONGS WRITTEN AFTER 1979 MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS THRILLED WITH "THAT '70S SHOW" (AS ONE FAN CALLED IT) UNTIL THE ENCORES, WHEN A ROLLICKING "PINK CADILLAC" FOLLOWED "JANEY DON'T YOU LOSE HEART." INTRODUCING "MY CITY OF RUINS," SPRINGSTEEN THANKED FANS FOR THEIR SUPPORT, AND CALLED IT THE "BEST YEAR WE'VE EVER HAD, REALLY." GUESTS GALORE JOINED IN DURING THE SECOND ENCORE, INCLUDING METS PITCHER (AND BIG BRUCE FAN) AL LEITER ON TAMBOURINE FOR "ROSALITA"; JON LANDAU AND WILLIE NILE, BOTH ON GUITAR, FOR "DANCING IN THE DARK"; AND A FULL STAGE WITH THE ADDITION OF GARY U.S. BONDS FOR A BONUS SHOW-CLOSING "TWIST AND SHOUT." "INTO THE FIRE" INCLUDED A DEDICATION TO A FDNY FIREMAN KILLED A FEWS DAYS EARLIER FIGHTING A FIRE WHO WAS TO BE AT THE SHOW FOR HIS 41ST BIRTHDAY. SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD- (A BIT THIN). DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN. DISC THREE: TRACK 7 "ROSALITA" FEATURES METS PITCHER AL LIETER ON TAMBOURINE AND VOCALS. TRACK 8 "DANCING IN THE DARK" FEATURES GUEST WILLIE NILE ON GUITAR. TRACK 9 "TWIST AND SHOUT" FEATURES GUEST VOCALISTS GARY U.S. BONDS AND HIS DAUGHTER.

C23 – OCTOBER 4, 2003 “PRELUDE TO THE LAST DANCE” 1 CDR (SOUNDCHECK ONLY)

SOUND IS GOOD-/AVERAGE+. TAPER WAS DISTANT AS WIND SOUNDS ARE VERY PRESENT. TRACKS 1-3 ARE TAKES OF “I WISH I WAS BLIND”. ALL TAKES VARY IN LENGTH. TRACKS 4 & 5, “BLOOD BROTHERS”, ONE FULL AND SEVERAL PARTIAL TAKES, FEATURE THE IDENTICAL VERSE CHANGE THAT WAS PERFORMED AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN JULY 7, 2000, THE FINALE OF THE 1999-2000 REUNION TOUR. TRACK 6 “CODE OF SILENCE”, IS A COMPLETE TAKE. TRACK 7 “BACK IN YOUR ARMS” IS A COMPLETE TAKE. TRACK 8 “JOHNNY 99” IS A COMPLETE TAKE.

C19 - OCTOBER 4, 2003 “THE LAST DANCE” NEW YORK, NY SHEA STADIUM 3 CDR’S
NOTES: EVEN THE ELEMENTS WERE ON OUR SIDE. THE ALL-DAY DRIZZLE STOPPED JUST IN TIME FOR THE SHOW, AND WHILE BRUCE LATER KNOCKED ON THE WOOD OF HIS ACOUSTIC, HOPING THE SKIES WOULD HOLD, WE'D ALREADY STOPPED THE RAIN. "CODE OF SILENCE" OPENED THE SHOW, ANOTHER GRUSHECKY CO-WRITE LAST PLAYED IN PITTSBURGH. "ROULETTE," "JOHNNY 99," "TUNNEL," AND "ANOTHER THIN LINE" CAME BACK; A STUNNING "I WISH I WERE BLIND" HAD ITS E STREET BAND DEBUT, A BEAUTIFUL FULL-BAND ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE THAT WE WISH HAD APPEARED BEFORE THE FINAL SHOW... OTHER TOUR PREMIERES WERE "BACK IN YOUR ARMS" AND, OPENING THE ENCORES, THE RETURN OF THE REUNION TOUR STAPLE, "LIGHT OF DAY." A 30-SONG BLOWOUT (PREVIOUSLY, THE LONGEST RISING SHOW HAD BEEN 27 SONGS) THAT LASTED NEARLY 3 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES, THIS FINAL SHOW WAS ONE THAT MAY HAVE HAD EMOTIONS RUNNING HIGH, BUT BRUCE SEEMED COMMITTED TO KEEPING THINGS LOOSE AND FUN. "WELCOME TO THE LAST DANCE," HE SAID BEFORE "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY." "I'M GETTING A LITTLE MISTY HERE RIGHT ABOUT NOW... STEVE, CHEER ME UP!" AND HE WAS CHATTIER THAN USUAL, LEADING INTO "BACK IN YOUR ARMS" WITH SOME AUDIENCE BANTER: "LADIES, HAVE YOU EVER FELT TAKEN FOR GRANTED?" BUT BRUCE SAVED HIS SPEECHIFIYIN' FOR THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT, AS A FELLOW LEGEND CAME OUT TO SHARE THE STAGE FOR "HIGHWAY 61." BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "WE HAVE MY GREAT FRIEND AND INSPIRATION WITH US TONIGHT, MR. BOB DYLAN... WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT WITHOUT HIM." THE RESULTING PERFORMANCE WAS ROUGH AND RAMSHACKLE, BEST IN THEORY, BUT IT WAS CLEARLY A MEANINGFUL MOMENT FOR SPRINGSTEEN. INTRODUCING "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" A COUPLE OF SONGS LATER, HE CONTINUED TALKING ABOUT DYLAN AS AN ARTIST "WHO WAS WILLING TO STAND IN THE FIRE... HE MADE ME THINK BIG THOUGHTS... GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE MY LITTLE TOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF GREAT MEN MAKE HISTORY OR IF HISTORY MAKES GREAT MEN, BUT I KNOW BOB'S ONE OF THE GREATEST. NOW AND FOREVER. I DEDICATE THIS ONE TO HIM TONIGHT, AND THANK HIM FOR GRACING MY STAGE... WHEN I WROTE THIS ONE I WAS DOING MY BEST TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS." AND AFTER HIS CALL FOR VIGILANCE, AND STRESSING THE NOTION THAT THE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH IS "THE AMERICAN WAY": "AND I LEARNED THAT FROM BOB DYLAN. THIS IS 'LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS.'" AFTER THE HISTORICAL SUMMIT, THE SHOW BECAME ABOUT CELEBRATION. "ROSIE, I'M HOME!" WILLIE NILE AND JON LANDAU RETURNED FOR "DANCING," BONDS RETURNED THIS TIME WITH GARLAND JEFFREYS FOR THE TOUR DEBUT OF THE CHESTNUT "QUARTER TO THREE" ALONG WITH "TWIST AND SHOUT." AND THAT TAKES US TO SONG 29. SONG 30, THE LAST SONG OF THE NIGHT? HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, WITH THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OF "BLOOD BROTHERS" SINCE BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS CLOSED THE REUNION TOUR WITH THE SAME. ALL GUESTS LEFT THE STAGE BEFORE THIS ONE, LEAVING JUST THE E STREET BAND THAT HAS BROUGHT US THE POWER, HOUR AFTER HOUR, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, OVER THE LAST 14 MONTHS. SPRINGSTEEN SEEMED TO BE HOLDING IT TOGETHER, BUT THERE WERE TEARS STREAMING DOWN CLARENCE'S FACE. ONCE AGAIN, BRUCE BROUGHT BANDMEMBERS FRONT AND CENTER TO HOLD HANDS FOR THE EXTRA VERSE. IT'S A GOOD NIGHT FOR A RIDE, AND WITH THAT, THE RISING TOUR RIDES OFF INTO THE SUNSET. "THE PAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST FUN AND EXCITING OF MY LIFE," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "THANKS FOR SHARING THEM WITH US.” SOUND IS VERY GOOD+ (RECORDING LEVEL IS A LITTLE LOW). ALL DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C20 - NOVEMBER 1, 2003 “LIGHT OF DAY IV”, STONE PONY, ASBURY PARK, NJ 2 CDR’S

SOUND IS A VERY GOOD MINI DISC SOURCE WHICH DOES RESULT IN SMALL STATIC POPS AT EACH TRACK CHANGE. DISC ONE: CLEAN OTHER THAN NOTED. DISC TWO: CLEAN. THIS WAS THE FOURTH ANNUAL LIGHT OF DAY SHOW TO BENEFIT PARKINSON'S - JUST AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT OF MUSIC AND FUN AT THE STONE PONY.

C14 - DECEMBER 5, 2003 “CHRISTMAS IN JERSEY-FIRST NIGHT” ASBURY PARK, NJ CONVENTION HALL 3 CDR’S

NOTES: SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. WILL BE REVIEWED UPON REQUEST ONLY. NIGHT ONE OF THE 2003 HOLIDAY SHOWS, AS THE "SPRINGSTEEN AND FRIENDS" TRADITION RETURNS TO THE ASBURY PARK BOARDWALK AFTER A 2002 HIATUS. EMCEE DANNY DEVITO CAME OUT FIRST WITH BRUCE AND A GOSPEL CHOIR TO WELCOME THE CROWD. AFTER A COUPLE OF GOSPEL NUMBERS, THE MAX WEINBERG 7 TOOK THE STAGE ONCE MORE AS THE HOUSE BAND, WITH GUITARIST JIMMY VIVINO AGAIN STEPPING UP TO TAKE LEAD ON "CHRISTMAS DAY." BUT THIS WASN'T QUITE BUSINESS AS USUAL, WITH FEWER CHRISTMAS SONGS THAN IN YEARS PAST, AND MORE OF A SPOTLIGHT ON THE "FRIENDS." SAM MOORE WAS A NEW ADDITION THIS YEAR: HE AND BRUCE WORKED OUT A STUNNING QUADRUPLE-SHOT OF DUETS, AND MOORE LATER RETURNED FOR "MY CITY OF RUINS." JESSE MALIN WAS A SO NEW TO THESE SHOWS, PLAYING TWO SONGS FROM HIS FINE ART OF SELF DESTRUCTION RECORD. AS FOR RETURNING GUESTS: LITTLE STEVEN BROUGHT A TASTE OF HIS UNDERGROUND GARAGE WITH A COVER OF THE RAMONES' CHRISTMAS CLASSIC, AND STUCK AROUND FOR SOME JUKE RAVE-UPS WITH SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY. GARLAND JEFFREYS, BOBBY BANDIERA, NILS LOFGREN, DANNY FEDERICI, AND TWO-THIRDS OF THE REDHEADED WOMEN WERE BACK-- SOOZIE TYRELL AND LISA LOWELL WERE THERE, BUT PATTI SCIALFA WAS OUT SICK. BRUCE HIMSELF WAS ONSTAGE MOST OF THE NIGHT, FROM PLAYING SOME SERIOUS BOOGIE-WOOGIE PIANO ON "CHRISTMAS DAY," TO BACKING HIS NEW FRIEND JESSE MALIN. AS FOR SPRINGSTEEN SONGS, A PAIR FROM ESSENTIAL WAS UP FIRST: "FROM SMALL THINGS" WITH BANDIERA, AND A HORN-DRENCHED HIGHLIGHT IN THE LIVE PREMIERE OF "NONE BUT THE BRAVE." "SEASIDE BAR SONG" AND "THUNDERCRACK" MADE SURE THAT THOSE SHORE ROOTS WERE WELL-EXPOSED. "THE WISH" WAS A HUSHED SOLO-PIANO AFFAIR, WITH SOME JINGLE BELLS IN THE BACKGROUND AND VIVINO ADDING SOME VERY LIGHT GUITAR. "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WAS ACTUALLY A NILS SELECTION, THE GREAT NILS LOFGREN TAKING LEAD WHILE BRUCE AND STEVE BACKED HIM ON GUITAR. BUT "MARY'S PLACE," THAT WAS BRUCE, ADDING THE ALLIANCE SINGERS AND THE HORNS FOR A TRUE ASBURY PARK-STYLE HOUSE PARTY, LEADING INTO "CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)" WITH ALL ONSTAGE TO CLOSE THE MAIN SET. IN THE ENCORES, BRUCE INTRODUCES A SONG AS "A PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ AND THEIR SAFE RETURN," AND WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED WHAT FOLLOWED, BUT IT WAS PERFECT: "WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING" – WHICH ALSO BODES WELL FOR THE RUMORED IMPENDING APPEARANCE OF ELVIS COSTELLO AT ONE OF THE REMAINING SHOWS. EMCEE DEVITO RETURNS TO READ "THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS" (BRUCE SAYING

AFTERWARD, "THAT IS ONE LONG MOTHERFUCKER OF A STORY!") BEFORE "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN" AS USUAL BRINGS EVERYONE ON STAGE TO CLOSE THE NIGHT.

C20 - DECEMBER 7, 2003 “CHRISTMAS IN JERSEY-SECOND NIGHT” ASBURY PARK, NJ CONVENTION HALL 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THANKS TO MOTHER NATURE, WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CLOSING NIGHT IS NOW THE SECOND OF THREE SHOWS. DANNY DEVITO WAS NOT ON HAND BUT ANOTHER LOCAL BOY STEPPED UP: JON BON JOVI. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER RETURNING GUESTS FROM NIGHT ONE, WILLIE NILE JOINED IN FOR THREE OF THE CLOSING RAVE-UPS, "CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)," "WHAT'S SO FUNNY..." AND "SANTA CLAUS." THE STRUCTURE OF THE SHOW REMAINED THE SAME, A COUPLE NOTABLE SUBSTITUTIONS INCLUDED "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE" FOR "FROM SMALL THINGS" AND "KITTY'S BACK" FOR "MARY'S PLACE." SAM MOORE WAS EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE ON HIS SECOND NIGHT - "MY CITY OF RUINS" WENT FROM A SONG HE BARELY KNEW TO ONE HE OWNS. "MY CITY" AND "WHAT'S SO FUNNY..." IS ONE HECK OF A MOOD-SWITCHING ONE-TWO PUNCH. WORTH WAITING IN THE COLD AND SNOW FOR. SONGS LISTED BELOW HAVE THE MOST PROMINENT GUEST-ARTIST LISTED IN PARENTHESES, BUT MANY PERFORMERS WERE ON AND OFF STAGE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT. WILL BE REVIEWED UPON REQUEST ONLY.

C20 - DECEMBER 8, 2003 “CHRISTMAS IN JERSEY-SECOND NIGHT” 3 CDR’S

NOTES: THE LONGEST, AT THREE AND A HALF HOURS, AND ARGUABLY THE HOTTEST OF THE THREE HOLIDAY SHOWS. AS BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD AT THE BEGINNING, "THIS IS OUR SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL EVEN THOUGH IT'S MONDAY NIGHT." THERE WAS LITTLE VARIATION IN THE SET, BUT AS PRACTICE TENDS TO MAKE PERFECT, A TIGHT NIGHT THREE HAD MVP SAM MOORE IN PEAK FORM. NO DEVITO OR JBJ, THOUGH ALL OF THE OTHER GUESTS RETURNED -- AND WE GOT A LITTLE MORE SAM AND A LITTLE MORE HOLIDAY SPIRIT AS THE SOUL MAN JOINED IN FOR THE ONLY "MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY" OF THE RUN. WE ALSO GOT "96 TEARS" IN GARLAND'S SET AND A REAL HIGHLIGHT IN SOUTHSIDE'S SET, WITH THE BRUCE-PENNED "TALK TO ME." THE BLAZING "WHAT'S SO FUNNY..." WAS AGAIN SENT OUT TO OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ AS A PRAYER FOR PEACE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. WILL BE REVIEWED IN DETAIL UPON REQUEST ONLY.

2004

14 SHOWS

C22 - MARCH 16, 2004 JACKSON BROWNE INDUCTION CEREMONY 1 CDR

24 HOURS AFTER INDUCTING HIM INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, SPRINGSTEEN PERFORMED WITH JACKSON BROWNE, AT BROWNE'S BEACON THEATRE SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY. AFTER WATCHING MUCH OF THE SHOW WITH PATTI SCIALFA FROM THE AUDIENCE, SPRINGSTEEN CAME OUT FOR THE LAST ENCORE, CLOSING THE SHOW WITH "TAKE IT EASY." BRUCE PLAYED ELECTRIC GUITAR AND SANG BACK-UP ON THE SONG THAT BROWNE CO-WROTE WITH GLENN FREY. SOUND IS SUPURB. RECORDING FEATURES ONLY THE SONG BRUCE GUESTED ON "TAKE IT EASY".

C22 – OCTOBER 1, 2004 PHILADELPHIA, PA / WACHOVIA CENTER 2 CDR’S
THE VOTE FOR CHANGE TOUR LAUNCHED ITS OPENING NIGHT IN PHILLY WITH THE EMPHASIS PLACED FIRMLY ON HARD ROCKIN' RATHER THAN GRANDIOSE SPEECHIFYIN'. BRUCE PLAYED MC, APPEARING ON STAGE VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE TICKETED START TIME WITH REM'S MICHAEL STIPE TO GREET THE CROWD. BRUCE OFFICIALLY DECLARED A "NO BRUUUCE ZONE," SAYING "I WILL COME OUT AND SLAP YOU SILLY. WE HAVE TOO MUCH GREAT MUSIC TONIGHT. NO BRUUUCING!" HE ALSO SET OUT THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE NIGHT: TO "FIGHT FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT IS OPEN, FORWARD-LOOKING, RATIONAL, AND HUMANE -- AND WE PLAN TO ROCK THE JOINT WHILE DOING SO." NEXT, BRUCE INTRODUCED OPENING ACT BRIGHT EYES AS "SOMEONE WHOSE RECORD FLOORED ME WHEN IT CAME OUT." AFTER A SOLID 30-MINUTE BRIGHT EYES SET, SPRINGSTEEN RETURNED AROUND 8:30 TO INTRODUCE REM BY SAYING THAT THEY HAD INSPIRED HIM FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. THEY PLAYED FOR AN HOUR; BRUCE SHARED LEAD VOCALS WITH STIPE ON THE SET-CLOSING "MAN ON THE MOON," HAVING FUN GOOFING ON ELVIS. HEY BABY! MAIN SET NOTES: SHORTLY AFTER 10:00, BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND TOOK THE STAGE FOR A TWO-HOUR SET, BEGINNING WITH BRUCE'S SOLO INSTRUMENTAL, 12-STRING ACCOUSTIC VERSION OF "THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER." THAT LED INTO A RELENTLESS, HIGH-INTENSITY OPENING BARRAGE WITH NOT A MOMENT WASTED -- THOSE FIRST EIGHT SONGS FORMED A TIGHT, THEMATIC SEGMENT THAT ROCKED NONSTOP, INCLUDING A FULL-BAND VERSION OF "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," AND THE VERY WELCOME RETURN OF THE FULL-BAND "JOHNNY 99" FROM THE VERY END OF THE RISING TOUR.
JOHN FOGERTY CAME OUT FOR 4 SONGS BACKED BY BRUCE AND THE BAND, INCLUDING A HARD-DRIVING "FORTUNATE SON" (A REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT) AND ENDING BY TRADING OFF VOCALS WITH BRUCE ON "THE PROMISED LAND." GUESTS CAME AND WENT FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF THE 19 SONG SET, WITH PATTI SMITH DEVOTEE STIPE JOINING IN FOR "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" (STIPE AND SPRINGSTEEN TRADING OFF ON THE SMITH VERSION OF THE LYRIC), REM'S MIKE MILLS AND PETER BUCK CLEARLY HAVING A BLAST ON "BORN TO RUN," FOGERTY ON "PROUD MARY," AND ALL THE NIGHT'S PERFORMERS ON "(WHAT'S SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING" AND AN EXPLOSIVE CLOSER OF PATTI SMITH'S "PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER."
ALONG WITH SOME LAYING-ON-OF-HANDS PREACHER SHTICK, "MARY'S PLACE" INCLUDED A NEW P.S.A. ("THE MOMENT EVERYONE'S BEEN WAITING FOR...MY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!") THAT WAS TAILOR-MADE FOR AN EVENING OF INSPIRATIONAL WORDS AND MUSIC. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: RECORDING BEGINS WITH BRUCE'S SOLO ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER". TRACK 9 BEGINS JOHN FOGERTY'S FIRST 4 SONG MINI-SET WITH BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS. TRACK 14 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" FEATURES R.E.M.'S MICHAEL STIPE ON CO-LEAD VOCALS. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: MIKE MILLS AND PETER BUCK FROM REM JOIN BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS FOR TRACK 3 "BORN TO RUN". THE ENCORES BEGIN WITH JOHN FOGERTY AGAIN TAKING THE STAGE FOR TRACK 4 "PROUD MARY". TRACKS 5 AND 6 FEATURE THE WHOLE CAST OF STARS. TRACK 7 IS BRUCE GUESTING WITH REM ON "MAN IN THE MOON" FROM EARLIER IN THE CONCERT.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 2, 2004 CLEVELAND, OH / GUND ARENA 2 CDR’S
NIGHT TWO BRINGS TWO CHANGES TO THE SPRINGSTEEN SET, WITH "THE RIVER" IN FOR "LOST IN THE FLOOD" AND "BAD MOON RISING" REPLACING "PROUD MARY." HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN INCLUDE "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" (WITH MICHAEL STIPE) AND "FORTUNATE SON," WITH A NON-STOP-HOPPING JOHN FOGERTY HAVING A BLAST. R.E.M. (THE "PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE," AS BRUCE SAYS) SHOOK UP THEIR SET A BIT MORE, INCLUDING "CUYAHOGA," "LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT" AND "IMITATION OF LIFE." SPRINGSTEEN JOINED THEM FOR TWO SONGS THIS TIME: "MAN ON THE MOON" AGAIN, PLUS "BAD DAY" WITH A SCORCHING BRUCE GUITAR LEAD TO CLOSE. SOUND IS VERY GOOD PLUS. RECORDING STARTS AS BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND TAKE THE STAGE. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: THE TWO TRACKS THAT BRUCE GUESTS WITH REM ARE PRESENTED AS TRACKS 10-12. SLIGHT EDIT FROM TRACKS 9-10, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 3, 2004 DETROIT, MI COBO ARENA 2 CDR’S

NOTES: STRINGENT UNION RULES IN THE MOTOR CITY HAD THE SHOW RUNNING AT A FASTER CLIP, AND IT WAS OVER WELL BEFORE MIDNIGHT; BUT STILL A TWO-HOUR SET FOR BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS, WHO PLAYED FROM 9:42 - 11:35. THREE MAIN CHANGES IN THEIR SET, WITH "THE TIES THAT BIND" REPLACING "LONESOME DAY," "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN" IN THE "LOST IN THE FLOOD"/"RIVER" SLOT, AND "TRAVELIN' BAND" THE CCR SONG OF CHOICE TO KICK OFF THE ENCORE. IN ADDITION TO THE POST-"MARY'S PLACE" PSA, AND THE PRE-RECORDED INTERVIEW CLIPS THAT RUN BETWEEN ACTS (FEATURING BRUCE, MAX, AND OTHER VFC ARTISTS), BRUCE MAKES SOME STATE-SPECIFIC COMMENTS BEFORE "JOHNNY 99": "MICHIGAN HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY HARD-HIT. 140,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS GONE. 7,500 CITIZENS SERVING IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. WE SALUTE THEM AND HONOR THEIR SERVICE, AND WANT THEM HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." THE ENCORE EACH NIGHT HAS INCLUDED ALL THE PERFORMERS-- ENLIVENED, IT OUGHTTA BE SAID, BY CONOR OBERST (BRIGHT EYES), HOLDING HIS OWN AMONG LEGENDS -- AND TONIGHT THE STAGE WAS EVEN MORE PACKED BY THE END. SPECIAL GUESTS THE DIXIE CHICKS SHOWED UP FOR THE FINAL SONG, FRESH FROM THEIR FOX THEATER GIG. BRUCE ASKED, "YOU GIRLS HAVEN'T STARTED ANY TROUBLE, HAVE YOU?" THAT SHOW CLOSER, "PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER," WAS WRITTEN BY PATTI SMITH WHILE SHE WAS LIVING IN DETROIT, INSPIRED BY A DIEGO RIVERA MURAL AT THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS. FOR R.E.M SET WATCHERS ("WE DREW STRAWS," SAYS BRUCE, "AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR BEAUTY BEFORE AGE TONIGHT"), THIS SHOW FINALLY BROUGHT "EXHUMING MCCARTHY" -- AND AS DOCUMENT FANS, WE'RE HOLDING OUT HOPE FOR "FINEST WORKSONG" WITH BRUCE BEFORE TOUR'S END. TONIGHT, SPRINGSTEEN JOINED THEM AGAIN FOR "BAD DAY" AND "MAN ON THE MOON," TRADING VERSES ON THE LATTER. SETLIST: BAD DAY (WITH REM)/MAN ON THE MOON (WITH REM)//THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER/BORN IN THE U.S.A./BADLANDS/NO SURRENDER/THE TIES THAT BIND/DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN/JOHNNY 99/YOUNGSTOWN/CENTERFIELD (WITH FOGERTY)/DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN (WITH FOGERTY)/FORTUNATE SON (WITH FOGERTY)/THE PROMISED LAND (WITH FOGERTY)/THE RISING/BECAUSE THE NIGHT (WITH STIPE)/MARY'S PLACE/BORN TO RUN (WITH MILLS AND BUCK)//TRAVELIN' BAND (WITH FOGERTY)/(WHAT'S SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING (WITH ALL)/PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER (WITH ALL, PLUS THE DIXIE CHICKS). SOUND IS VERY GOOD. TRACK 10 BEGINS A 4 SONG MINI SET FEATURING GUEST JOHN FOGERTY. TRACK 15 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" FEATURES GUEST MICHAEL STIPE. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 3 "BORN TO RUN" FEATURES PETER BUCK AND MIKE MILLS FROM REM. JOHN FOGERTY RETURNS FOR TRACK 4 "TRAVELIN' BAND". THE LAST TWO TRACKS OF THIS CONCERT FEATURE ALL OF THE ARTISTS THAT PARTOOK IN THE "SPRINGSTEEN" PORTION OF THE VFC TOUR. IN ADDITION, THE DIXIE CHICKS APPEAR ON TRACK 6 "PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER." THE LAST TWO SONGS OF REM'S SET "BAD DAY" AND "MAN ON THE MOON" WHICH HAD BRUCE GUESTING ARE TRACKS 7 AND 8 OF DISC 2. GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 6-7, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C22 - OCTOBER 5, 2004 ST. PAUL, MN XCEL ENERGY CENTER 2 CDR’S

NOTES: NOTHING RAGGED ABOUT THIS ONE--JUST FULL-ON GUITAR GLORY AS NEIL YOUNG CAME OUT AND CRANKED UP THE ENERGY FOR THE BEST VFC SHOW YET. "ANY CANADIANS FOR KERRY IN THE HOUSE? I THOUGHT I SAW ONE HERE EARLIER..." SAID BRUCE. AND YEAH, YOUNG HAD BEEN OUT EARLIER FOR "COUNTRY FEEDBACK" WITH REM, BUT THAT DIDN'T DIMINISH THE "HOLY SHIT" FACTOR AS NEIL FACED OFF WITH BRUCE FOR MONSTER JAMS ON "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" AND A FIERCE "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER." EVEN CLARENCE GOT SWEPT AWAY. BLOW, BIG MAN, BLOW! WAIL, SHAKEY, WAIL! AND THE WIND BEGAN TO HOWL... NEIL WAS BACK IN THE ENCORES TRADING OFF VOCALS WITH BRUCE ON "ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD" ALONG WITH FOGERTY, ALL OF REM, AND NEIL'S WIFE PEGI. FOGERTY GOT A HUGE CHEER WHEN HE ANNOUNCED "I GOT A FINAL SCORE FOR YOU: MINNESOTA TWINS 2, YANKEES NOTHIN'!" YEAH, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO GO THE TWIN CITIES' WAY TONIGHT. AT THE END OF THE SHOW, BRUCE PRESENTED CONOR OBERST WITH A COMMEMORATIVE JACKET TO MARK THE END OF HIS RUN WITH THE TOUR. BRIGHT EYES, WE'LL MISS YOU IN ORLANDO--THAT'S THE NEXT STOP, FRIDAY NIGHT. SOUND IS GOOD+(A LITTLE LOW RECORDING VOLUME). DISC ONE: FIRST TWO SONGS "BAD DAY" AND "MAN ON THE MOON" ARE BRUCE GUESTING WITH REM. BRUCE AND THE THE E STREET BAND'S SET BEGINS WITH TRACK 4. NEIL YOUNG JOINS BRUCE AND THE BAND FOR TWO SONGS "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED" AND "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER" STARTING WITH TRACK 10. TRACK 16 BEGINS A 4 SONG SET WITH GUEST JOHN FOGERTY. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 IS THE FOURTH SONG OF THE FIRST SET WITH JOHN FOGERTY. TRACK 3 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" FEATURES GUEST MICHAEL STIPE. TRACK 5 "BORN TO RUN" FEATURES PETER BUCK AND MIKE MILLS FROM REM. JOHN FOGERTY RETURNS FOR TRACK 6 "PROUD MARY". TRACK 7 "ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD" FEATURES ALL STAR JAM WITH REM, JOHN FOGERTY, NEIL AND PEGI YOUNG. THE LAST TWO TRACKS OF THIS CONCERT FETURE ALL OF THE ARTISTS THAT PARTOOK IN THE "SPRINGSTEEN" PORTION OF THE VFC TOUR.

C22 - OCTOBER 8, 2004 ORLANDO, FL TD WATEHOUSE 2 CDR’S

NOTES: THE IMPORTANCE OF FLORIDA AS A BATTLEGROUND STATE WAS NOT LOST ON THE ARTISTS TONIGHT, WITH BRUCE GLAD TO BE IN "THE SUNSHINE STATE... OR AS I LIKE TO CALL IT, THE SCENE OF THE CRIME!" SPRINGSTEEN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECENT HURRICANES: "WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU UP NORTH -- WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GET BLOWN AWAY BEFORE WE GOT HERE!" THIS WAS THE LAST OF THE ORIGINALLY ANNOUNCED RUN OF SHOWS, THE LAST TO INCLUDE A FULL SET FROM R.E.M., AND BRUCE CALLED IT "BITTERSWEET": "I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE A PLEASURE," HE SAID OF SHARING THE STAGE WITH HIS VFC TOURMATES, "BUT IT ENDED UP BEING A THRILL." NOTABLE MOMENTS TONIGHT INVOLVED SUCH COLLABORATIONS. TAKING INSPIRATION FROM OLD FRIEND NEIL YOUNG, NILS LOFGREN JOINED R.E.M. TONIGHT FOR "COUNTRY FEEDBACK" -- THANKS TO LOFGREN'S DISTINCTIVE STYLE IT SOUNDED WORLDS DIFFERENT THAN IN ST. PAUL. THEY ALSO SHOOK UP ONE OF THE BRUCE DUET SLOTS, DOING "PERMANENT VACATION" WITH THE BOSS (WHO SHARED VOCALS) INSTEAD OF "BAD DAY." ORLANDO OPENER TRACY CHAPMAN CAME BACK OUT DURING SPRINGSTEEN'S SET FOR A DUET OF "MY HOMETOWN." OTHER HIGHLIGHTS IN SPRINGSTEEN'S SET: THE TOUR DEBUT OF "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT," PART OF THE BLISTERING OPENING RUN; A STAND-OUT VERSION OF THE ALWAYS-FINE "JOHNNY 99"; AND "BAD MOON RISING" WITH FOGERTY IN THE ENCORE. SOUND IS GOOD/VERY GOOD-. DISC 1: RECORDING BEGINS WITH THE TWO SONGS THAT BRUCE GUESTED ON WITH REM. THE BRUCE AND E STREET STREET BAND SET BEGINS WITH TRACK 3. TRACEY CHAPMAN JOINS BRUCE ONSTAGE FOR CO-LEAD VOCALS ON TRACK 8 "MY HOMETOWN". DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: THIS DISC KICKS OFF WITH JOHN FOGARTY'S 5 SONG (INCLUDING HIS CO-LEAD VOCALS ON THE PROMISED LAND) APPEARANCE WITH BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS. MICHAEL STIPE JOINS BRUCE ON STAGE FOR TRACK 6 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT". MIKE MILLS AND PETER BUCK FROM R.E.M. JOIN BRUCE ON STAGE FOT TRACK 8 "BORN TO RUN". JOHN FOGERTY RETURNS TO THE STAGE FOR AN ENCORE OF TRACK 9 "BAD MOON RISING". THE LAST TWO TRACKS OF THE DISC FEATURE ALL OF THE PERFORMERS WHO PLAYED AT THIS CONCERT.

C22 - OCTOBER 11, 2004 WASHINGTON, DC / MCI CENTER 1 CDR

NOTES: IN THE CITY THAT WILL HOST A PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION IN A LITTLE MORE THAN THREE MONTHS, THE VOTE FOR CHANGE TOUR FINALE BROUGHT MANY OF ITS ARTISTS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE PRESIDENT'S BACKYARD. SPRINGSTEEN, DAVE MATTHEWS, EDDIE VEDDER, DIXIE CHICK MARTIE MAGUIRE, AND MICHAEL STIPE GREETED THE CROWD AS THE FIVE-HOUR-PLUS SHOW BEGAN, THE REM FRONTMAN OFFERING A SIMPLE AND CLEAR REJOINDER TO THE "SHUT UP AND SING" CONTINGENT: "WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, AND WE HAVE ALL BEEN U.S. CITIZENS LONGER THAN WE HAVE BEEN SINGERS, SONGWRITERS, POP STARS, PUBLIC FIGURES, CELEBRITIES WITH A PUBLIC VOICE. WE ARE EACH OF US PLACING OUR YARDSIGNS IN OUR FRONT YARDS. OUR FRONT YARD JUST HAPPENS TO BE A STAGE. AND TONIGHT IT IS THIS STAGE; THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING." IT WAS A REVOLVING STAGE, ALLOWING FOR EXPEDIENT EQUIPMENT CHANGES TO KEEP THE CONCERT MOVING AT A FAST CLIP CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF ARTISTS; THE SHOW STILL RAN AN HOUR LONGER THAN SCHEDULED. BUT SUNDANCE KEPT THE CAMERAS ROLLING AS THE TOUR'S FLAGSHIP ACT, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND, ROCKED THE SHOW TO A CLOSE WELL PAST THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. IT WAS AN ABRIDGED VERSION OF THEIR STANDARD VFC SET THAT HIT MOST OF THE HIGHLIGHTS (ALAS, NO TIME FOR "JOHNNY 99"), INCLUDING THE COLLABORATIONS WITH STIPE FOR "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND FOGERTY FOR "FORTUNATE SON." SPRINGSTEEN'S REFINED PSA GOT HUGE CHEERS FROM THE D.C. CROWD (THE LEAST BRUCE-PARTISAN AUDIENCE OF THE TOUR), AS DID A NEW TO-THE-POINT EXHORTATION DURING "MARY'S PLACE": "ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT 'THE SWING VOTER'... ALL I WANNA SAY IS, IT'S OCTOBER 11, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR? YOU MISLEAD THE NATION TO WAR, YOU LOSE YOUR JOB. IT AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE!" AS THE STANDARD ENCORES FROM BRUCE'S SHOWS ("PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING" AND "PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER") BROUGHT THE CONCERT TO A ROUSING CLOSE, THE STAGE FILLED WITH THE NIGHT'S ARTISTS (INCLUDING JOHN MELLENCAMP, KENNETH "BABYFACE" EDMONDS, BONNIE RAITT, JACKSON BROWNE, KEB’ MO’, REM, JAMES TAYLOR, THE DIXIE CHICKS, JURASSIC 5, PEARL JAM, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, AND JOHN FOGERTY) TO SHARE THE VOCALS. MELLENCAMP STARTED THE EVENING, WITH HIGHLIGHTS THROUGHOUT INCLUDING BROWNE, RAITT, AND KEB' MO' DOING LITTLE STEVEN'S "I AM A PATRIOT" (THE SONGWRITER HIMSELF CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT HERE, UNFORTUNATELY); A GOLDEN SET FROM JURASSIC 5; AND EDDIE VEDDER JOINING REM FOR "BEGIN THE BEGIN." THE PENNEBAKER/MAYSLES DOCUMENTARY FOOTAGE INCLUDED REM LEARNING "BORN TO RUN" ("WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT HE DIDN'T CHANGE KEYS DOWNWARDS OVER THE YEARS!"), SPRINGSTEEN REHEARSING WITH FOGERTY (AND MARVELING AT THE OUTPUT OF CCR IN JUST TWO-AND-A-HALF YEARS), AND BRUCE HANDWRITING AN EARLY SETLIST THAT WOULD HAVE STARTED HIS SET WITH "DEVILS." "DEVILS AND DUST" IS A SONG BRUCE REHEARSED WITH THE BAND BUT NEVER DID PLAY... BUT WAITASEC, DID WE SAY THIS WAS THE TOUR FINALE? AS SPRINGSTEEN SAID TONIGHT, "HOLD ON, NEW JERSEY -- WE'RE COMIN'!" SETLIST: MAN ON THE MOON (WITH REM)//THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER/BORN IN THE U.S.A./BADLANDS/NO SURRENDER/DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN (WITH FOGERTY)/FORTUNATE SON (WITH FOGERTY)/BECAUSE THE NIGHT (WITH STIPE)/MARY'S PLACE/BORN TO RUN (WITH MILLS AND BUCK)//(WHAT'S SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING (WITH MOST)/PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER (WITH ALL). SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: RECORDING BEGINS WITH "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER". JOHN FOGERTY JOINS FOR TWO SONGS STARTING

WITH TRACK 6. TRACK 9 "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" FEATURES MICHAEL STIPE ON CO-LEAD VOCALS. MIKE MILLS AND PETER BUCK FROM REM COME ONSTAGE FOR TRACK 12 "BORN TO RUN". TRACKS 13-15 FEATURE ALMOST ALL WHO PLAYED AT THIS CONCERT. BOTH DISCS ARE CLEAN. TRACK 16 IS BRUCE GUESTING ON “MAN ON THE MOON” FROM REM’S SET EARLIER IN THE NIGHT.

C22 - OCTOBER 13, 2004 E. RUTHERFORD, NJ CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE FINAL NIGHT OF SPRINGSTEEN'S VFC TOUR BROUGHT A UNIQUE BILL TO THE MEADOWLANDS, WITH PATTI SCIALFA AND HER BAND OPENING THIS HOMECOMING SHOW, AND JACKSON BROWNE IN FOR REM. WHILE BRUCE JOINED REM AT EACH OF THE PREVIOUS CONCERTS, TONIGHT WE HAD A TRIFECTA AS HE PLAYED IN THE OPENING SET WITH PATTI, IN THE SECOND SET WITH BROWNE, AND ONE OF THE LONGEST HEADLINING SETS OF THE RUN (RIVALING ST. PAUL IN BOTH LENGTH, AT 21 SONGS, AND PERFORMANCE). SPEAKING OF TRIFECTAS, SURPRISE GUEST EDDIE VEDDER JOINED THE E STREET BAND FOR A POWERFUL TRIO OF "NO SURRENDER," "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN," AND PEARL JAM'S "BETTERMAN." AND CONTINUING TO SPEAK OF TRIFECTAS, THE ENCORE OPENED WITH NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE CLASSIC CCR SONGS WITH FOGERTY. BUT THE EMOTIONAL HIGHLIGHT OF AN EMOTIONAL SHOW HAD TO BE IN THE POST-"RISING" SLOT (FORMERLY OCCUPIED BY "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WITH MICHAEL STIPE), WHEN THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE GASP AS BROWNE CAME OUT FOR "RACING IN THE STREET." AS ONE CONCERTGOER SAID, "ALL THE AIR WAS SUCKED OUT OF THE BUILDING." IN A GOOD WAY. BROWNE'S OWN SET INCLUDED TOPICAL SONGS LIKE "FOR AMERICA" AND "LIVES IN THE BALANCE," AND LITTLE STEVEN FINALLY TOOK A BOW ON A SONG OF HIS THAT HAS CROPPED UP AT SEVERAL OTHER VFC SHOWS THIS MONTH, JOINING JACKSON FOR "I AM A PATRIOT." A FINE END TO A RIGHTEOUS TOUR. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: RECORDING BEGINS WITH THE SOLO ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER". EDDIE VEDDER JOINS BRUCE AND THE BOYS FOR TRACKS 5-7. JOHN FOGERTY BEGINS HIS MINI-SET WITH TRACK 9 AND CONTINUES THROUGH TRACK 12. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC TWO: JACKSON BROWNE JOINS BRUCE FOR TRACK 2 "RACING IN THE STREET". THE LAST TWO TRACKS OF THIS CONCERT FEATURE ALL OF THE ARTISTS THAT PARTOOK IN THIS CONCERT. THE SONGS WHERE BRUCE GUESTS WITH PATTI AND JACKSON BROWNE ARE NOT ON THIS RECORDING.

C22 - OCTOBER 28, 2004 MADISON, WI 1 CDR

NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN APPEARED WITH SENATOR JOHN KERRY AT A FRESH START FOR AMERICA RALLY, PERFORMING TWO SONGS ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR (INCLUDING ONE OF KERRY'S CAMPAIGN THEMES, "NO SURRENDER,") AND INTRODUCING THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. BETWEEN SONGS, SPRINGSTEEN GAVE A BRIEF SPEECH SIMILAR TO HIS VOTE FOR CHANGE TOUR P.S.A. HE ADDED, "WE HAD A SAX PLAYER... WE NEED A GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WHITE HOUSE!" AND INTRODUCED KERRY AS "THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." SETLIST: THE PROMISED LAND/NO SURRENDER (BOTH ACOUSTIC). SOUND IS VERY GOOD.

C22 - OCTOBER 29, 2004 MIAMI, FL 1 CDR

NOTES: FRESH START FOR AMERICA RALLY WITH JOHN KERRY. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC IS CLEAN.

C22 - NOVEMBER 6, 2004 THE STONE PONY, ASBURY PARK, NJ 2 CDR’S

BRUCE JOINS JOE GRUSHECKY AND HIS BAND FOR THE 5TH YEAR RUNNING AT THE ANNUAL LIGHT OF DAY BENEFIT CONCERT. BRUCE WAS AT THE PONY THE DAY BEFORE BUT DID NOT PERFORM - JUST STOPPED ALONG TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. SOUND IS VERY GOOD-. THIS IS THE FULL JOE G. SHOW, NOT JUST THE SONGS WHERE BRUCE GUESTS. DISC ONE: BRUCE JOINS THE SHOW WITH THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 5. DISC IS CLEAN. DISC 2: CLEAN.

C22 - DECEMBER 2, 2004 PITTSBURGH, PA HEINZ HALL 2 CDR’S

FLOOD AID '04, BENEFITTING PENNSYLVANIANS WHO SUFFERED DAMAGE FROM HURRICANE IVAN IN SEPTEMBER, BROUGHT JOE GRUSHECKY AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TOGETHER AGAIN, LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THEIR LIGHT OF DAY PERFORMANCE -- AND THIS TIME, ON JOE'S HOME TURF. JUST ACROSS THE RIVER FROM PNC PARK, SPRINGSTEEN'S LAST STOP IN STEELTOWN, FLOOD AID FEATURED A SIMILAR BATCH OF SONGS AS LOD5 AT THE PONY, BUT IN A VASTLY DIFFERENT SETTING: A BEAUTIFUL OLD THEATER WITH CHANDELIERS, RED CARPET AND GOLD TRIM. WITH WREATHS HUNG AND EGG NOG SOLD IN THE LOBBY, WE GOT OUR OFFICIAL START OF THE HOLIDAYS WITH THE SHOW-CLOSING "SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN." THAT WAS THE SETLIST'S ONLY NOD TO THE SEASON, BUT FAR FROM ITS ONLY TREAT. SPRINGSTEEN FIRST JOINED EXIT 105 FOR "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER" (NO NEIL YOUNG THIS TIME, BUT A STRONG PERFORMANCE). LATER, BEFORE THE HOUSEROCKERS TOOK THE STAGE, BRUCE TURNED IN A SURPRISE THREE-SONG SOLO SET FEATURING A RARE SOLO-ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE OF "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" (FIRST PLAYED AT THE 2001 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL). IT WAS A RESPECTFUL, PIN-DROP CROWD FOR "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" AND "FOR YOU" AS WELL, THE LATTER DEDICATED TO "ALL THE OLD FANS." AFTERWARD, SPRINGSTEEN PLAYED THE ENTIRE HEADLINE SET WITH JOE & THE HOUSEROCKERS, INCLUDING MANY OF THE DUO'S STANDARDS LIKE "CODE OF SILENCE" AND "NEVER BE ENOUGH TIME," WITH BOCCIGALUPE JOINING IN ON KEYBOARDS FOR "MURDER INC." SPRINGSTEEN'S OWN SONGS IN THE SET INCLUDED "JOHNNY 99," "ATLANTIC CITY," "THIS HARD LAND," AND -- THE "GOOSEBUMP MOMENT" OF THE NIGHT -- "FACTORY." WHILE A STRIPPED-DOWN VERSION HAS TURNED UP AT E STREET BAND SHOWS SEMI-REGULARLY IN RECENT YEARS, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE MOST HAD HEARD IT LIKE THIS, AS GRUSHECKY NOTED IN AN INTRO. AFTER THE PENULTIMATE "LUCKY TOWN," THE STAGE FILLED WITH MANY OF THE NIGHT'S PERFORMERS -- AS WELL AS JESSE MALIN AND HIS BAND, SOME ELVES, AND SANTA HIMSELF -- FOR THE TYPICALLY AND JOYOUSLY CHAOTIC FINALE. CONCERT FOR FLOOD AID. THE FIRST 3 SONGS OF THE MAIN SET WERE PERFORMED SOLO. REST WERE WITH JOE GRUSHECKY AND FOR THE LAST SONG JESSE MALIN JOINED IN. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 8 IS BRUCE'S PERFORANCE OF "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER" WITH THE BAND EXIT 105. DISC IS CLEAN.

C22 – DEC. 19, 2004 “CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY TO ASBURY PARK” HARRY'S ROADHOUSE 4:30PM SHOW 2 CDR’S

HOLIDAY SHOW. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & FRIENDS PERFORMED TWO SHOWS; ONE AT 4:30PM AND ANOTHER AT 8:30PM. SPEAKERS WERE SET UP OUTSIDE THE VENUE FOR THE MASSED CROWDS - WHO DESPITE THE WEATHER WERE TREATED TO TWO FANTASTIC SHOWS. DURING THE EARLY SHOW, BRUCE INTRODUCED TALK TO ME BY SAYING THAT THIS IS ONE HE WROTE FOR SOUTHSIDE BUT SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY DIDN'T PLAY OR SING DURING THAT SONG. THIS IS THE PREMIERE OF THIS TRACK WITH BRUCE ONLY SINGING. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD-. HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE DURING THE QUIETER SONGS THROUGHOUT. TRACK 6 "TWO HEARTS" HAS SOUND PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE FIRST 2:00. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - APR 4, 2005 “STORYTELLERS” BROADCAST AUDIO OF VH1’S STORYTELLERS RED BANK, NJ TWO RIVER THEATRE 1 CDR

TWO YEARS AGO, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HELD A PAIR OF "MASTER CLASS"-STYLE SHOWS IN SOMERVILLE, MA, OFFERING GLIMPSES INTO HIS SONGWRITING CRAFT, EXPLICATING SONGS LINE-BY-LINE, AND EVEN TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. WHILE A STUNNING CHANGE OF PACE FROM THE RECENT E STREET BAND SHOWS, VERY FEW FANS ACTUALLY GOT TO WITNESS THOSE PERFORMANCES (AND ONLY AFTER PAYING BIG BUCKS) -- AND BY THE TIME THE Q&A SESSION BIT THE DUST ON THE SECOND NIGHT, ONE KINDA HAD THE FEELING THAT IT'D NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. LAST NIGHT AT THE NEW TWO RIVER THEATRE IN RED BANK, NJ, BRUCE TOOK ANOTHER SWING -- AND KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. NO STEROIDS NECESSARY. AND THE BEST PART IS, WHILE THE TINY VENUE ONLY HELD ABOUT 300, THIS ONE'S GETTING SHARED WITH THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO TELLYVISION SCREENS IN A MATTER OF WEEKS, ON VH1 STORYTELLERS. FOR THE SAKE OF THE (RIGHTFULLY) SPOILER-PHOBIC, WE'LL TRY TO GIVE YOU BROAD STROKES HERE; SURELY YOU'D RATHER HEAR SPRINGSTEEN'S HILARIOUS AND POIGNANT MUSINGS-ON-IDENTITY-BY-WAY-OF-STRIP-CLUB-ANECDOTE-AS-INTRO-TO-"BRILLIANT DISGUISE" FOR YOURSELF RATHER THAN OUR MIND-BLOWN RECOLLECTION OF IT. AND HIS IMITATION OF SMOKEY ROBINSON SINGING "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" IS SOMETHING WE CAN'T EVEN TRY TO RECREATE HERE. BUT AN OVERVIEW: FOR WELL OVER TWO HOURS, SPRINGSTEEN REGALED THE AWE-STRUCK SHOEBOX-SIZED ROOM WITH PERFORMANCES AND DISCUSSIONS OF SONGS FROM DEVILS & DUST, THE RISING, NEBRASKA, GREETINGS, TUNNEL, AND BORN TO RUN; THE SETLIST SELECTION, HE LATER REVEALED, WAS DRIVEN BY A DESIRE TO SHOWCASE THE DIFFERENT TYPES, STYLES, AND MOODS OF HIS SONGS FROM EACH STAGE OF HIS CAREER. HE GAVE PREMIERE PERFORMANCES OF TWO NEW TRACKS FROM THE FORTHCOMING DEVILS & DUST -- THE TITLE TRACK ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR, AND "JESUS WAS AN ONLY SON" AT THE PIANO. (OH YES, A GRAND PIANO ON STAGE -- ALONG WITH ABOUT 60 FANS ON RISERS.) A DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL ACOUSTIC ARRANGEMENT OF "THE RISING" BROUGHT A STANDING OVATION BOTH TIMES IT WAS PERFORMED (A SECOND TIME THROUGH WAS REQUIRED DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES; OTHER SONGS BRUCE TRIED A SECOND TAKE OF "BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME I COULD"). PATTI JOINED HIM FOR A "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" DUET, NAILED IN ONE TAKE. SPRINGSTEEN'S VISION OF THE EVENING WAS BEYOND THE USUAL SCOPE OF STORYTELLERS, STRETCHING OUT THE NIGHT WITH NOT ONLY CANDID STORIES BUT ALSO SOMERVILLE-LIKE LINE-BY-LINE READINGS OF HIS SONGS, STOPPING TO EXPLAIN HIS INTENT ALONG THE WAY. THESE RANGED FROM ENLIGHTENING TO GUT-BUSTING TO AMBIGUOUS; AT TIMES HIS EXPLANATIONS WERE MORE BEGUILING THAN THE LYRICS THEMSELVES. EVEN SO, IT FELT AS RARE AND ENTRANCING AS A MAGICIAN SLOWING DOWN HIS ACT TO SHOW YOU HOW A TRICK WORKS -- AND YOU STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE HELL HE DID IT. "WAITING ON A SUNNY DAY" HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN PLANNED AS THE SET-CLOSER, BUT SPRINGSTEEN SMARTLY MOVED IT TO THE MIDDLE AND INSTEAD ENDED THE MUSICAL PORTION WITH TRUE MAGIC IN THE NIGHT: "THUNDER ROAD." AT THE PIANO. TWICE. AND A THIRD TIME THROUGH TO TRY AND SHOW HOW THE RABBIT CAME OUT OF THE HAT. THERE WAS NO TOPPING THAT. BEFORE CALLING IT A NIGHT, HOWEVER, SPRINGSTEEN CAME DOWNSTAGE FOR A LITTLE BACK-AND-FORTH. ONE AFTER ANOTHER, TEN FANS IN THE AUDIENCE HAD A CHANCE TO ASK BRUCE THEIR "ONE QUESTION," SELECTED BY VH1 FROM AMONG THE BACKSTREETS CONTEST WINNERS. THIS WAS WHERE SOMERVILLE 2 SPIRALED DOWNWARD INTO INANITY; NOT TONIGHT. SPRINGSTEEN DID OFFER TO COME OUT AND SMACK ONE GUY AROUND... BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS ASKING IF BRUCE EVER WANTED TO "GET ALL JOHNNY ROTTEN" ON SOMEBODY TO SHAKE UP HIS NICE-GUY IMAGE. IF THERE WAS A DOWNSIDE, IT WAS THAT SPRINGSTEEN'S SET HAD BEEN SO LONG AND HEAVY ON THE REVEALING BANTER, A FAIR AMOUNT OF THE Q&A WOUND UP TREADING ON RECENTLY FAMILIAR GROUND. BUT IF BRUCE WANTED AN AUDIENCE TO BE "IN CONCERT" WITH HIM, IT'D BE HARD TO THINK OF A BETTER EXAMPLE. FINALLY, HE RAISED HIS GUITAR, GAVE A BENEDICTION, AND LEFT THE STAGE. PERSISTENT CHEERING AND FOOT-STOMPING COULDN'T BRING HIM BACK; EVENTUALLY, VH1'S BILL FLANAGAN CAME OUT TO TELL US THAT WAS IT, BRUCE WAS "ON A RESPIRATOR." OUT IN THE CROWD, AFTER A CHECK OF THE WATCH AND THE GRADUAL SINKING-IN OF WHAT WE'D JUST WITNESSED, IT BECAME PRETTY CLEAR THAT HE'D EARNED SOME BREATHING ROOM. APPEARS TO BE AN AUDIO DUB FROM THE VH1 BROADCAST. SOUND IS SUPERB BROADCAST QUALITY. DISC IS FLAWLESS!!

C22 - APRIL 21, 2005 / ASBURY PARK, NJ / PARAMOUNT THEATRE 2 CDR’S

A BENEFIT FOR WORLD HUNGER YEAR. THE FIRST OF TWO WARM-UP SHOWS AT THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE, AND FANS' FIRST REAL TASTE OF THE NEW TOUR -- UNLESS YOU COUNT STORYTELLERS, WHICH DOES SEEM TO BE A REAL BELLWETHER FOR THE DEVILS & DUST SHOW. YEAH, SPRINGSTEEN THE STORYTELLER IS BACK: SETTING THE SCENE, PROVIDING CONTEXT, MAKING WITH THE FUNNY, AND GENERALLY ILLUMINATING THE SONGS AND THE SETLIST THROUGHOUT THIS ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE. THE TALK STARTED RIGHT AFTER THE "DEVILS & DUST" OPENER, WHEN HE TOLD THE CROWD THAT "TOM JOAD RULES ARE IN EFFECT." (A VERY QUIET CROWD COMPLIED, OTHER THAN SOME SING-ALONG AT THE END OF "FURTHER ON" AND "THIS HARD LAND," WITHOUT BEING OTHERWISE TOLD TO STFU.) SOME IN THE CROWD MIGHT HAVE BEEN FLASHING BACK TO 1996... BUT SURPRISINGLY, ONLY TWO SONGS FROM THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD MADE THE SET. AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THEM WAS "MY BEST WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH"? OTHER BIG SURPRISES: TUNNEL TOUR STAPLE "PART MAN, PART MONKEY," AND JOAD TOUR ULTRA-RARITY "USED CARS" (ONE OF TWO SONGS FROM NEBRASKA). AND YOU KNEW IT WASN'T THE JOAD TOUR WITH THAT PIANO ONSTAGE. NEARLY 15 YEARS AFTER THE LEGENDARY CHRISTIC SHOWS, FANS FINALLY GET THE PAYOFF OF A SOLO TOUR WITH PIANO. BRUCE TICKLED THE IVORIES FOR FIVE SONGS: "FOR YOU," "TOUGHER THAN THE REST," "MY HOMETOWN," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," AND "JESUS WAS AN ONLY SON." THE STOOL CAME OUT FOR THE TWO MAIN-SET CLOSERS, "THE HITTER" AND "MATAMOROS BANKS," TWO OF NINE SONGS PLAYED FROM THE NEW RECORD TONIGHT. FIVE OF 'EM BEING LIVE PREMIERES. PLUS ACOUSTIC TAKES ON "LONESOME DAY" AND "THE RISING," AND "THE PROMISED LAND" TO CLOSE. AND THIS TOUR AIN'T EVEN STARTED YET! SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD-. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - APRIL 22, 2005 / ASBURY PARK, NJ / PARAMOUNT THEATRE 2 CDR’S

NOTES: A BENEFIT FOR LOCAL CHARITIES. THE SECOND REHEARSAL SHOW WAS A FRIDAY AFTERNOON MATINEE, AND HOT DAMN, WHO CARES IF THIS IS A RUN-ON SENTENCE, WE CAN'T FINISH IT WITHOUT MENTIONING "REAL WORLD" RIGHT UP FRONT. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE ITS 1990 DEBUT AT THE PAIR OF CHRISTIC BENEFITS, SPRINGSTEEN SAT DOWN AT THE KEYS FOR THE MUCH-PINED-FOR, FAN-FAVORITE, SOLO-PIANO VERSION OF "REAL WORLD." IT BROUGHT AUDIBLE GASPS FROM THE AUDIENCE, AND A STANDING OVATION AT THE END. AT LAST, AT LAST. YEAH, THERE WAS A REST-OF-A-SHOW, TOO. A RADICAL REWORKING OF "REASON TO BELIEVE" STARTED THINGS OFF, SUNG INTO HIS ELECTRIC-HARMONICA MIC -- BOOT-STOMPIN', DISTORTED DELTA-BLUES. AFTER "PART MAN, PART MONKEY" WAS THE LIVE PREMIERE OF "RENO," FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY "RACING IN THE STREET" ON PIANO. ANOTHER STANDING O. (TURNS OUT THAT WHOLE PIANO THING WAS A GOOD IDEA, HUH?) IN THE ENCORES, "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" AND "BOBBY JEAN" SUBBED FOR "THIS HARD LAND" AND "MY BEST." OTHERWISE A SIMILAR SET AS 4/21, THOUGH BRUCE TINKERED WITH THE ORDER OF THINGS A BIT, WITH LOTS OF TALK ONCE AGAIN; AND EVEN THOUGH HIS VOICE STARTED TO GIVE OUT TOWARD THE END, THIS WAS AN EVEN STRONGER SHOW. AND THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE LIKE TO SEE THINGS GOING. THAT'S IT FOR THE WARM-UP; NEXT STOP IS THE "REAL THING" IN DETROIT ON MONDAY NIGHT. WHICH REMINDS ME, DID WE MENTION HE PLAYED "REAL WORLD"? SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/VERY GOOD (HIGH HISS AND HIGH AUDIENCE NOISE AT TIMES). DISC ONE: TRACK 1 "REASON TO BELIEVE" CUTS IN DURING BRUCE'S PRE-SHOW INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS, NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED. THE HEAVILY DISTORTED VERSION OF "REASON TO BELIEVE" IS SIMPLY STUNNING. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - APRIL 25, 2005 FOX THEATRE, DETROIT, MI 2 CDR’S

NOTES: JUST AS DEVILS & DUST IS AN AURAL STEP UP FROM THE STARK SONICS OF THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD, SO THE SOLO ACOUSTIC TOUR FOR DEVILS GUSSIES THINGS UP A BIT. SURE, THE STOOL IS BACK... BUT YOU'VE ALSO GOT A CHANDELIER, A TIFFANY LAMP, AND THE CENTERPIECE IN SEVERAL RESPECTS, THE PIANO. BLESSEDLY, THE SOLO PIANO "REAL WORLD" STAYED IN THE SET FOR OPENING NIGHT (AS DID ALL OF THE PIANO SONGS FROM 4/22, ACTUALLY), A TREND WE HOPE CONTINUES. A SLIGHTLY LONGER SHOW THAN THE ASBURY WARM-UPS, STARTING AT 8:00 AND ENDING AT 10:25, BUT THOSE REHEARSAL SHOWS GAVE A GOOD TASTE OF WHAT WAS TO COME. THE SETLIST FOR TONIGHT'S TOUR OPENER HEWED CLOSELY TO FRIDAY'S MATINEE, FROM THE BOOT-STOMP ACCOMPANIMENT OF "REASON TO BELIEVE" AT THE START TO THE PERCUSSIVE "THE PROMISED LAND" CLOSER (A FAMILIAR ARRANGEMENT FROM THE LATTER HALF OF THE JOAD TOUR). EXTENDING THE SET: "BLACK COWBOYS" WAS ADDED BACK IN, AND THE ENCORE EXPANDED TO FOUR SONGS. "YOUNGSTOWN" WAS DEDICATED "TO MY GOOD FRIEND TOMMY MORELLO, PLAYING NEXT DOOR WITH AUDIOSLAVE"; MORELLO WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FOX FOR THE START OF BRUCE'S SHOW BEFORE HEADING TO HIS OWN GIG AT THE STATE THEATRE. IN "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN," CHEERS ROSE UP AT THE MENTION OF THE "MICHIGAN COUNTY LINE." SPRINGSTEEN TOOK CARE TO DISCUSS HIS NEW SONGS THROUGHOUT, AND AS HE WOUND UP THE SET WITH "MATAMOROS BANKS," HE REFERENCED THE JORGE RAMOS BOOK “DYING TO CROSS” AND SAID, "WE NEED NOTHING MORE RIGHT NOW THAN A HUMANE IMMIGRATION POLICY." THERE WERE A FEW MINOR OPENING-NIGHT SNAFUS, BUT NOTHING BRUCE WASN'T ABLE TO ROLL WITH. AFTER A BRIGHT LIGHT LIT UP THE FIFTH ROW INSTEAD OF THE STAGE DURING "MATAMOROS," HE SAID, "I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THAT BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS TO THAT SPOTLIGHT OPERATOR." ON THE PLUS-SIDE IN THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT, TWO VIDEO SCREENS WERE SET UP (WITH STATIC CAMERAS) TO GIVE THE WHOLE VENUE THAT FRONT-ROW VIEW. SO NOW THAT THE "REAL WORLD" HAS BECOME REALITY, WHAT CAN WE WISH FOR NEXT? WELL, WE DON'T WANNA BE GREEDY, BUT AS LONG AS BRUCE IS BREAKING OUT A GRETSCH ELECTRIC FOR "PART MAN, PART MONKEY"... HOW ABOUT ROCKIN' THAT JOINT WITH "OPEN ALL NIGHT"? SOUND IS AVERAGE/AVERAGE+ (MODERATELY MUFFLED AND ECHOEY, IT SEENS THAT THE TAPER WAS DISTANT FROM THE STAGE). DISC ONE: TRACK 10 "MARIA'S BED" FADES IN ABOUT 1/2-WAY INTO THE TRACK. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 8-9 (MAIN SET TO ENCORE).

C22 - APRIL 28, 2005 GRAND PRAIRIE, DALLAS, TX 2 CDR’S

AS THE TOUR SWINGS WEST INTO TEXAS, "GALVESTON BAY" DEBUTS, NATURALLY. FOLLOWING "FOR YOU," WHICH BRUCE HAD TALKED ABOUT AS A LOVE SONG, HE SAID, "15 YEARS LATER I WROTE ANOTHER ONE..." NOT "REAL WORLD," WHICH HAD BEEN IN THAT NEXT SLOT AT THE PREVIOUS TWO SHOWS, BUT A SONG HE INTRODUCED WITH THOSE MAGICAL WORDS, "I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS ONE BEFORE, SO WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES." AND WITH THAT, BRUCE DUG DEEP FOR A TUNNEL OF LOVE RARITY, THE FIRST SOLO-PIANO VERSION OF "TWO FACES" (COMPLETE WITH THE ORGAN SOLO, DONE VOCALLY NOTE-FOR-NOTE). "REAL WORLD" STILL MADE AN APPEARANCE BY REQUEST WHEN BRUCE SAT BACK DOWN AT THE PIANO LATER IN THE SET (KEEP IT COMIN', BRUCE!). FOR "MATAMOROS BANKS," BRUCE SET THE SCENE "JUST ACROSS THE BORDER FROM BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS." AND KICKING OFF THE ENCORE, A SPECIAL GUEST: A DUET WITH AUSTIN SINGER-SONGWRITER JIMMY LAFAVE ON AN OFF-THE-CUFF VERSION OF WOODY & JACK GUTHRIE'S "OKLAHOMA HILLS." SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 10 "OKLAHOMA HILLS" FEATURES GUEST JIMMY LAFAVE ON CO-LEAD VOCALS/GUITAR. JIMMY IS A SINGER/SONGWRITER OF SOME NOTE BASED IN NORTHERN TEXAS. DISC IS CLEAN.

C22 - APRIL 30, 2005 GLENDALE, AZ GLENDALE ARENA 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THOUGH "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT" IS ONE OF THE CATCHIEST SONGS ON DEVILS & DUST, IT'S ONE OF THE LAST TO BE PLAYED LIVE. THAT SONG HAD ITS CONCERT PREMIERE AT SATURDAY NIGHT'S PHOENIX SHOW, ALSO THE FIRST SHOW OF THE TOUR IN ONE OF THESE HALF-ARENA CONFIGURATIONS. COMAPRED TO THEATERS, THE SETUP WAS A MIXED BAG IN TERMS OF ACOUSTICS AND ATMOSPHERE, BUT BY SEVERAL ACCOUNTS IT DIDN'T HAMPER AUDIENCE ATTENTIVENESS OR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SHOW (HAVING THE CONCESSIONS SHUT DOWN DURING THE PERFORMANCE COULDN'T HAVE HURT). THE CROWD WAS REWARDED WITH THE ULTRA-RARE "BOOK OF DREAMS" (A SONG ONLY PLAYED LIVE A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND NOT SINCE THE 1992 PLUGGED PERFORMANCE), ON PIANO FOR THE FIRST TIME. BRUCE DESCRIBED IT AS "A SONG ABOUT WEDDING DAYS," BEFORE CHUCKLING, "I SAY 'DAYS' PLURAL, UNFORTUNATELY...." ALSO ON THE PIANO, "RACING IN THE STREET" BROUGHT THE BIGGEST AUDIENCE RESPONSE OF THE NIGHT; AS ON 4/22, SPRINGSTEEN INTRODUCED IT BY TALKING ABOUT THE 1971 FILM TWO-LANE BLACKTOP. "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN" CAME BACK TO THE SET, AND IN THE ENCORES, THE FIRST E STREET GUEST OF THE TOUR: PART-TIME ARIZONA RESIDENT NILS LOFGREN ON DOBRO FOR "THIS HARD LAND." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 6 "SILVER PALOMINO" HAS A DISC ERROR @ 4:38. DISC TWO: NILS LOFGREN, PLAYING DOBRO, JOINS BRUCE FOR TRACK 9 "THIS HARD LAND", THE FIRST SONG OF THE ENCORE. DISC IS CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 2, 2005 “LOS ANGELES FIRST NIGHT” LOS ANGELES, CA PANTAGES THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: FOUR TOUR PREMIERES AT THE FIRST NIGHT IN L.A.: THE STUNNING PAIR OF "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" AND "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND," BOTH ON PIANO, ONE LEADING RIGHT INTO THE OTHER; ANOTHER TUNNEL RARITY, "CAUTIOUS MAN," LAST PLAYED ON MAY 10, 1988 AND PLAYED HERE FOR THE SECOND TIME EVER, DEDICATED TO SEAN PENN (WHO WAS IN THE CROWD); AND "JOHNNY 99" TO LEAD OFF THE ENCORE, BRUCE PLAYING DOBRO AND SINGING INTO THAT HARMONICA MIC, A LA "REASON TO BELIEVE." "REAL WORLD" WAS A HIGHLIGHT ONCE AGAIN, WITH BRUCE TALKING ABOUT THE DEBUT OF THAT SONG IN L.A. BACK IN 1990 AND DEDICATING IT TO HIS CHRISTIC STAGE-MATE, JACKSON BROWNE. THIS LONGER SET FEATURED 11 OUT OF THE 12 DEVILS & DUST SONGS, WITH ONLY "ALL THE WAY HOME" REMAINING TO BE PLAYED. ALSO IN THE CROWD: PROFESSOR ROY BITTAN.

SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD-. DISC ONE: TRACK 10 "PART MAN, PART MONKEY" HAS A SKIP @ 3:21 THE RESULTS IN SEVERAL WORDS OF THE FIRST VERSE BEING OMITTED. THE INTRODUCTORY "DISCLAIMER" TO RENO IS TACKED ONTO THE END OF TRACK 14, THE SONG ITSELF IS TRACK 1 OF DISC 2. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 3, 2005 “LOS ANGELES SECOND NIGHT” LOS ANGELES, CA PANTAGES THEATRE 2 CDR’S

THE SECOND NIGHT OF A SPECTACULAR TWO-NIGHT STAND IN L.A. "DEVILS & DUST" GETS BUMPED TO THE THIRD SLOT AS BRUCE OPENS WITH A TOUR DEBUT; ANYONE WONDERING WHAT THAT PUMP ORGAN WAS DOING IN THE SHADOWS ON THE FIRST NIGHT GOT THEIR ANSWER HERE, AS BRUCE PLAYED IT ON THE OPENING "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD." ALSO MAKING THEIR TOUR DEBUTS: "EMPTY SKY," "ALL THE WAY HOME" (THE LAST REMAINING SONG TO BE PLAYED FROM DEVILS & DUST), "THE LINE" (FROM THE SURPRISINGLY UNDERUTILIZED THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD), AND HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS, A SOLO-PIANO VERSION OF "THE RIVER." AN "UNBELIEVABLE" HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT, "THE RIVER" GOT A STANDING OVATION. PIANO VERSIONS OF "RACING IN THE STREET" AND THE TOUR-PROPER DEBUT OF "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" AIN'T TOO SHABBY NEITHER. IN THE ENCORE, SPRINGSTEEN TACKLED "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" ON GUITAR THIS TIME (LAST PLAYED IN THE SAME SHOW WITH "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD" ON 3/31/93 IN GLASGOW). NILS LOFGREN JOINED IN AGAIN, NOW FOR ON AN EXTENDED "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," ADDING GUITAR AND BACKING VOCALS. FANTASTIC SOUND IN THIS WONDERFUL OLD THEATER, IT SHOULD BE NOTED; ON NIGHT TWO YOU COULD EVEN MAKE OUT THE WORDS ON THE BULLET-MIC SONGS ("REASON TO BELIEVE" AND "JOHNNY 99"). IN THE CROWD WAS BOB CLEARMOUNTAIN (ALONG WITH A GAGGLE OF REQUISITE CELEBS), AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE APPROVED.

C22 - MAY 5, 2005 OAKLAND, CA PARAMOUNT THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: SETLIST-WISE, VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS SHOW IN L.A. (NOT A BAD THING AT ALL, CONSIDERING THE SETLIST), WITH A FEW NOTABLE CHANGE-UPS: THE SECOND PIANO PERFORMANCE OF "TWO FACES," AND THE TOUR DEBUTS OF "NEBRASKA" AND "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" ON ACOUSTIC. (ALSO DEBUTING IN OAKLAND: A NEW LAMP, AFTER THE OLD ONE GOT BUSTED IN L.A.) THE TOUR IS REALLY HITTING ITS STRIDE IN TERMS OF MATERIAL -- 'MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD' IS A MAGICAL OPENER; 'ALL THE WAY HOME' IS WORKING REALLY WELL IN THE 'MARIA'S BED' SLOT. AND SPRINGSTEEN'S PIANO-AS-A-SECOND-INSTRUMENT SLIP-UPS WIND UP BEING BEAUTY MARKS, REMINDING THE AUDIENCE WHAT A BOLD THING IT IS HE'S DOING UP THERE. AN EAGER BAY AREA CROWD GOT SOME GENTLE ADMONISHMENT ABOUT CLAPPING AT THE BEGINNING OF SONGS ("I KNOW WHAT IT IS, YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS... I FEEL LIKE I'M IN VEGAS WHEN I HEAR THAT CLAPPING"), AND BRUCE ALSO DISCOURAGED APPLAUSE FOR HIS RIFF ON EVOLUTION ("I DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE I'M PREACHING TO THE CONVERTED"). BUT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING A LAUGH, EVEN AT HIS OWN EXPENSE: REFERENCING THE RECENT FLAP OVER STARBUCKS, WHICH JUST DECIDED NOT TO CARRY HIS NEW ALBUM, BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD THAT DEVILS & DUST WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT DUNKIN DONUTS INSTEAD. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. THERE ARE SMALL STATIC POPS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE SOURCE RECORDING FOR THIS SHOW WAS COMPRESSED. I WOULD GUESS THAT A MINI-DISC RECORDER WAS USED. DISC ONE: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE. DISC TWO: CLEAN EXCEPT AS NOTED ABOVE.

C22 - MAY 7, 2005 DENVER, CO LECTURE HALL AT THE CONVENTION CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: AS WITH THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS, SPRINGSTEEN CONTINUES TO PLAY "ONLY" THREE-QUARTERS OF DEVILS & DUST, WHILE GIVING LONG-OVERDUE ATTENTION TO UNDERPLAYED SONGS FROM HIS LATER CATALOG: "REAL WORLD" AND "CAUTIOUS MAN" RETURN TO THE SET IN DENVER. A FAVORITE FROM THE 2002 LEG OF THE RISING TOUR, A SOLO-PIANO VERSION OF "THE PROMISE" DEBUTS, LEADING RIGHT INTO "MY HOMETOWN." AND BRUCE DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GET OUTTA DENVER, AS THE ENCORE STRETCHED TO FIVE SONGS FOR THE FIRST TIME, MAKING FOR A 26-SONG SHOW. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD- THERE ARE SMALL STATIC POPS BETWEEN ALL TRACKS THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE SOURCE RECORDING FOR THIS SHOW WAS COMPRESSED. I WOULD GUESS THAT A MINI-DISC RECORDER WAS USED. DISC ONE: TRACK 9 “REAL WORLD” HAS SOME STATIC BURNER ERRORS FROM 1:29-1:32. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 3-4, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.TRACK 5 “HAS A FEW MINOR STATIC POPS FROM 6:29-6:34, NO MUSIC IS AFFECTED.

22 - MAY 10, 2005 ST. PAUL ST. PAUL, MN XCEL ENERGY CENTER 3 CDR’S
NOTES: AFTER A COUPLE NIGHTS OFF, THE DEVILS AND DUST TOUR RESUMED LAST NIGHT AT THE XCEL ENERGY CENTER IN ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA. THOSE TWO DAYS OFF MUST HAVE GIVEN BRUCE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT SOME DIFFERENT SONGS TO BRING INTO THE MIX. FANS CERTAINLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN AN OLD RHODES KEYBOARD WAS CARRIED OUT ONTO THE STAGE AFTER "RENO," ESPECIALLY AFTER SPRINGSTEEN HAD TO ASK, "WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?" AFTER ALL PARTS WERE ACCOUNTED FOR, BRUCE UNVEILED "PARADISE" --A QUIET TRAGEDY OFF 2002'S THE RISING, AND PERFORMED ONLY ONCE ON THAT TOUR--REINTERPRETED HERE FOR THE CROWD OF NEARLY 8000, THE LARGEST OF THE TOUR SO FAR. THE SONG COMBINES THE STORY OF A TEENAGE SUICIDE BOMBER WITH THAT OF A WOMAN WHO LOSES HER HUSBAND AT THE PENTAGON ON SEPTEMBER 11. SPRINGSTEEN TRANSITIONED SEAMLESSLY FROM THE RHODES TO THE PIANO TO FINISH THE SONG, BUT THAT WASN'T THE END OF THE "WOW-FACTOR" THIS EVENING. COMING OUT FOR THE ENCORES, SPRINGSTEEN MENTIONED LOCAL POLICE OFFICER SGT. GERALD VICK, WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY THIS PAST WEEK IN ST. PAUL. HE THEN PERFORMED "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND (PITTSBURGH)" IN HONOR OF SGT. VICK AND HIS FAMILY. IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT "GOOD MAN" HAS EVER BEEN PLAYED IN FRONT OF ANY AUDIENCE, BUT EVEN THOSE WHO'D NEVER HEARD OF IT WERE TOUCHED BY ITS INCLUSION. ALSO OF NOTE, "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" IS BACK IN THE ENCORE, WHILE "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" DROPPED OUT FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME THIS TOUR. "EMPTY SKY" WAS BUMPED UP A SLOT TO FOLLOW "DEVILS AND DUST," A MOVE THAT SEEMS TO WORK THEMATICALLY. AND "BOOK OF DREAMS" WAS BACK AGAIN, AT THE PIANO, IN BEAUTIFUL TANDEM WITH THE NEW ARRANGEMENT OF "THE RIVER." SPRINGSTEEN SURE HAS PUT TOGETHER SOME INTERESTING AND EXCITING SETLISTS FOR BEING ONLY EIGHT SHOWS INTO A TOUR. SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS! DISC THREE: FLAWLESS!

C22 - MAY 11, 2005 CHICAGO, IL ROSEMONT THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE WINDY CITY HAD QUITE A FEW HEADS SWIRLING AFTER LAST NIGHT'S SHOW AT THE ROSEMONT THEATRE. SPRINGSTEEN DELIVERED AN INTENSE SET TO ANOTHER GREAT CROWD, AND THEY WERE REWARDED WITH A FOUR-SONG ENCORE THAT REALLY ENERGIZED THE PLACE. AFTER THE MAIN SET ENDED--AND IT HAD ITS OWN SHARE OF HIGHLIGHTS FOR SURE--SPRINGSTEEN WALKED BACK OUT ON STAGE WITH A BANJO STRAPPED AROUND HIM. PICKIN' ON SPRINGSTEEN? FAR FROM IT. IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE FIRST TIME BRUCE HAS PLAYED THE INSTRUMENT ON STAGE (AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF THAT GOING ON THIS TOUR!) SPRINGSTEEN DELIVERED A "SINISTER" AND "TWISTED" RENDITION OF HIS MID-80S HIT "I'M ON FIRE." AND IF A BANJO'S STEELY STRINGS HAD 'EM HAPPY AND EXCITED, WHY NOT TRY SOMETHING NEW ON "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS"...LIKE NO STRINGS! IN A TIGHT SPOT AFTER BUSTING A FEW OF HIS GUITAR STRINGS MID-SONG ("WELL, NOW WE'RE SCREWED!"), SPRINGSTEEN KEPT THE SONG GOING, UNSTRAPPED HIS GUITAR AND HANDED IT OFF TO HIS TECH. SINGING WITHOUT INSTRUMENTATION SEEMED TO REALLY GRIP THIS CROWD, WHO ROSE TO THEIR FEET, CLAPPING ALONG. (NO ADMONITIONS HERE!) A NEW GUITAR WAS DELIVERED SOON ENOUGH FOR THE LAST CHORUS, AND SPRINGSTEEN FINISHED THE SONG BY SAYING, "THANK THE LORD FOR HAPPY ACCIDENTS!" AFTER A WELL RECEIVED "PROMISED LAND," BRUCE THANKED THE CROWD FOR BEING SO ATTENTIVE, SHOOK HANDS AT THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND SAID, "ONE MORE FOR CHICAGO." BACK AT THE PUMP ORGAN AND WITHOUT ANY INTRODUCTION, HE BEGAN PLAYING A SONG CALLED "DREAM BABY DREAM." MANY IN THE CROWD WERE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS...IS IT A NEW BRUCE SONG? AN OLD BRUCE SONG? A SPRINGSTEEN/ORBISON HYBRID? THE CROWD WAS CERTAINLY INTO THE DREAMLIKE QUALITY OF THE PERFORMANCE, WITH ITS LYRICAL MANTRA AND DRONING FOUNDATION. SPRINGSTEEN'S VOICE WAS UNIQUE, TOO, HAVING A BIT OF THAT EARLY 80S QUALITY, LONELY AND DISTANT. ONE FAN DESCRIBED IT AS "'FOLLOW THAT DREAM' MEETS DAVID LYNCH'S BLUE VELVET." A SYNTHESIZER COULD BE HEARD UNDERNEATH IT ALL, AND AS BRUCE GOT UP FROM THE ORGAN THE MUSIC KEPT GOING. SPRINGSTEEN GRABBED THE MIC AND SHUFFLED TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE, SINGING THE REPETITIVE LYRICS, AND SCUFFLING ALONG THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AREA. AS HE WALKED OFF FOR THE NIGHT THE MUSIC CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER MINUTE OR SO, ALLOWING EVERYONE THE CHANCE TO SHAKE OFF THE GOOSEBUMPS AND SAY, "WHAT WAS THAT?" WE THINK WE HAVE THE ANSWER--THERE'S A SONG BY THAT NAME THAT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT DESCRIPTION FROM THE BAND SUICIDE WHO CAME OUT OF NEW YORK CITY'S LOWER EAST SIDE IN THE 1970S. IF WE'RE RIGHT, IT'S A PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE REACH AS FAR AS SPRINGSTEEN COVERS GO. HEY, WE WANTED BRUCE TO DIG DEEP FOR SONGS! KEEP DIGGING, MAESTRO! SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS. DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - MAY 14, 2005 FAIRFAX, VA PATRIOT CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: JUST ACROSS THE POTOMAC FROM WASHINGTON DC, SPRINGSTEEN CHOSE SOME SOMBER WILDCARDS (INCLUDING TWO TOUR PREMIERES, "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD" AND "DRY LIGHTNING") TO MAKE FOR A SLIGHTLY MORE SERIOUS NIGHT THAN RECENT OUTINGS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT WAS A GREAT "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY," PERFORMED ON ELECTRIC PIANO; "WRECK" WAS LAST PERFORMED WITH JOHN WESLEY HARDING IN 1994 AND BEFORE THAT IN 1985 IN AUSTRALIA. AND "PARADISE" WAS AGAIN PLAYED ON BRUCE'S VISIT TO THE AREA, JUST AS ON THE RISING TOUR. AS FAR AS WASHINGTON-SPECIFIC COMMENTARY, BRUCE WARNED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO SWEEP THE CROWD WITH A CHAINSAW IF HE HEARD ANY CELL PHONES, ADDING "I DON'T WANT TO DECAPITATE ANY LOBBYISTS OR SENATORS." AND THE EVOLUTIONARY RIFF BEFORE "PART MAN, PART MONKEY," ADDRESSING THAT PRESIDENT BUSH FINDS EVOLUTION AN "IFFY" PROPOSITION, WAS SLIGHTLY MORE SPECIFIC TONIGHT: "EVOLUTION IS IN DOUBT RIGHT HERE IN WASHINGTON. IF IT'S IN DOUBT RIGHT HERE, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING OTHER PLACES? OF COURSE, I PERSONALLY THINK THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES IN EVOLUTION, BUT HE CAN'T SAY SO. HE'S BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK ENOUGH; HE'S DOING WHAT HE HAS TO SO HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS TO. A LOT OF FOLKS DO THAT.... BUT OUT IN KANSAS, THEY'RE TAKING THIS SHIT SERIOUS!... THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE LEADER." "DREAM BABY DREAM" REMAINED IN THE ENCORE AND WAS JUST WAS COMPELLING AS ITS DEBUT IN CHICAGO. SOUND IS GOOD/GOOD-. DISC ONE: TRACK 9 HAS SOME STATIC PROBLEMS FROM 6:20-6:26 BUT THIS OCCURS DURING THE “DOO-WOP” RAP AFTER THE SONG AND PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 10 “THE RIVER’”. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 15, 2005 CLEVELAND, OH CSU CONVOCATION CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE FIRST DEVILS & DUST SHOW WITHOUT "LONG TIME COMIN'" AND "SILVER PALOMINO," WHILE "YOUNGSTOWN" OF COURSE RETURNS TO THE SET FOR THIS OHIO STOP. BUT THE TRULY MOMENTOUS SELECTION OF THE NIGHT CAME A FEW SONGS LATER, AS "STOLEN CAR" HAD ITS FIRST LIVE AIRING IN MANY A YEAR AND ITS FIRST-EVER WORKOUT ON THE PIANO. QUITE A FOURSOME ON THE BLACK & WHITES: "INCIDENT" INTO "STOLEN CAR," AND LATER, "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY" (ON THE ELECTRIC PIANO, AS IN FAIRFAX) INTO "RACING IN THE STREET." AND SPRINGSTEEN SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND AN ENCORE HE'S HAPPY WITH, AS THE FOUR-SONG SHOW CLOSER HAS STABLIZED FOR THREE NIGHTS RUNNING, FROM THE NEW BANJO ARRANGEMENT OF "I'M ON FIRE" TO THE ENTHRALLING "DREAM BABY DREAM." SOUND IS VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: WELL DONE FADE FROM TRACK 8 TO TRACK 9, THE MAIN SET TO ENCORE TRANSITION.

C22 - MAY 17, 2005 PHILADELPHIA, PA TOWER THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: NICE TO SEE SOME THINGS DON'T CHANGE: 30 YEARS AGO, TOURING FOR BORN TO RUN, SPRINGSTEEN PLAYED A FOUR-NIGHT STAND AT PHILLY'S TOWER THEATRE; TONIGHT, AS ON THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD TOUR, HE RETURNED TO THIS NEARLY 80-YEAR-OLD VENUE. "IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK AT THE TOWER," HE SAID, ADDING THAT THE ALLEY OUT BACK HAD GIVEN HIM FLASHBACKS. OF COURSE, SPRINGSTEEN'S 2005 MODEL IS QUITE A DIFFERENT EVENING AT THE THEATER, AND DESPITE HIS USUAL PENCHANT FOR HIS OLDER TUNES IN PHILLY, BRUCE PLAYED NOT A SINGLE SONG FROM THAT 1975 STAND -- "INCIDENT" WAS THE ONLY SONG IN TONIGHT'S SET THAT EVEN DATED BACK THAT FAR. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THERE WASN'T ANYTHING FOR THE AFICIONADOS: "THIS IS SOMETHING I RECORDED FOR THE DARKNESS RECORD, AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE... SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE TOWER." AND WITH THAT, AT THE PIANO, HE WENT INTO "THE ICEMAN," THE LONG-CHERISHED OUTTAKE THAT FINALLY SURFACED ON TRACKS IN 1998, HERE A LIVE WORLD PREMIERE. WE CAN EXHALE, AS "REAL WORLD" FINALLY RETURNED TO THE SET (WHERE WE HOPE IT STAYS) AS AN AUDIBLE. AND A TOUR DEBUT KICKED OFF THE ENCORE, A REWORKING OF "RAMOD" ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND HARMONICA -- A LIGHT, UPBEAT ARRANGEMENT THAT BORROWED THE TUNE FROM NICK LOWE'S "HALF A BOY AND HALF A MAN." SO THOUGH "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY" STAYED IN, TONIGHT WASN'T QUITE AS DARK AS THE PREVIOUS PAIR OF ARENA SHOWS. NOT AS MUCH TALK FROM SPRINGSTEEN (COULD BE HE WAS BITING HIS TONGUE -- IT WAS A ROWDY CROWD), BUT LOTS OF SUBTLE MUSICAL DIFFERENCES (LIKE A NEW INTRO TO "FURTHER ON") KEEP THE SHOW MOVING FORWARD AS WE NEAR THE END OF THE U.S. LEG. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. ROWDY PHILLY CROWD DOES IMPACT THE LISTENABILITY OF THIS CONCERT SOMEWHAT. DISC ONE: (MUSIC) FLAWLESS! (CROWD) LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS! DISC TWO: (MUSIC) FLAWLESS! (CROWD) LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS!

C22 - MAY 19, 2005 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA 2 CDR’S
NOTES: AFTER A DOZEN SHOWS ON THE TOUR PROPER, SPRINGSTEEN RETURNED ALL THE WAY HOME TO NEW JERSEY LAST NIGHT, AND HIS PERFORMANCE AT CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA CERTAINLY HAD AN EXTENDED-FAMILY FEEL TO IT. ONLY PROBLEM WAS THIS FAMILY SEEMED READY TO APPEAR ON "DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY FEUD." SHOW #13 WAS NOT A LUCKY ONE FOR SPRINGSTEEN NOR A NUMBER OF FANS PRESENT. SURE, THERE WAS SOME LOVE IN THE ROOM, ESPECIALLY IN THE PREMIUM SEATS WHERE ELVIS COSTELLO, WIFE DIANA KRALL, TIM ROBBINS, AND DON MATTINGLY WERE ALL SPOTTED. BUT THERE WAS ALSO SOME ANGER, POOR COMMUNICATION, MISUNDERSTANDING, AND FINALLY, SOME TENSION-RELIEVING HUMOR. IN WHAT PROVED TO BE THE MAIN STORY LAST NIGHT, A BANK OF SPEAKERS ON THE UPPER LEFT COLUMN (STAGE RIGHT) BLEW OUT VERY EARLY-ON AND MANY IN THE LOW 200 SECTIONS WERE LEFT WITHOUT SOUND. ONE FAN SAID, "IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE WATCHING THE SHOW FROM OUTSIDE." WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS PRETTY UGLY AS DISGRUNTLED FANS CALLED OUT WITH SHOUTS AND CHANTS OF "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!"...WHICH SPRINGSTEEN MISUNDERSTOOD FOR DISRESPECTFUL IDIOTS WHO MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT FOR "ROSALITA." BRUCE PULLED OUT A COUPLE STFUS, AND TOLD THE SCREAMERS POINTEDLY THAT IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM THEIR "MONEY'S AT THE DOOR." (NO WORD YET ON IF THAT'S GOING TO HOLD UP!) ONE ATTENDEE REPORTED THAT "IT WAS LIKE A JERRY SPRINGER SHOW BROKE OUT" IN THOSE SECTIONS. APPARENTLY, ALL EQUIPMENT WORKED JUST FINE AT SOUNDCHECK WHEN SPRINGSTEEN TESTED OUT "LOCAL HERO," BUT THAT SONG, AND THE GOOD SOUND THAT ACCOMPANIED IT, WERE NOT PRESENT DURING THE FIRST THIRD OF THE SHOW. SOMEWHERE AROUND SEVEN SONGS INTO THE SET, THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED, FIXED, AND SPRINGSTEEN WAS INFORMED OF THE REASON FOR THE RUCKUS. SOFTENING THE EDGES AND CALMING SOME NERVES, SPRINGSTEEN JOKED ABOUT HIS FAMILY CAUSING THE DISTURBANCE AND CALLED THE SHOW "ATTACK OF THE RELATIVES!" DURING HIS INTRO TO "THE WISH," BRUCE OFFERED THIS: "IT'S KINDA BORING WITHOUT THE SHOUTING." HEY, SOME REVIEWERS HAVE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT THE WHOLE TOUR! MAYBE THE FIVE-SONG ENCORE, WITH BOTH "RAMROD" AND "I'M ON FIRE," WAS HIS WAY OF SAYING, "ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL." SOUND IS SUPERB.VERY ROWDY JERSEY AUDIENCE MEMBERS ARE BOOTED OUT AT BRUCE’S URGING AFTER TRACKS 5 AND 6 OF DISC ONE. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - MAY 20, 2005 BOSTON, MA ORPHEUM THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: CLOSING OUT THE U.S. LEG OF THE DEVILS AND DUST TOUR LAST NIGHT IN BOSTON, SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE ORPHEUM THEATRE CROWD, "WE'LL BE BACK TO DO THIS AGAIN... I'LL BE SEEING MY FANS IN NEW JERSEY AGAIN, TOO." MAKING A SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO PLAYING MORE DATES WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM EUROPE, SPRINGSTEEN GAVE HIS STATESIDE FANS WHAT THEY'D BEEN HOPING TO HEAR--REASONS TO BELIEVE THERE'LL BE TOUR DATES AFTER THE END OF JUNE. ON A NIGHT THAT HAD JOHN KERRY IN THE HOUSE (HE RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION AS HE FOUND HIS SEAT, AND SPRINGSTEEN LATER DEDICATED "LEAH" TO THE SENATOR), BRUCE CLOSED OUT WHAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY NOW CALL "THE FIRST U.S. LEG OF THE TOUR" IN BRILLIANT FORM. FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW, SPRINGSTEEN OPTED TO PLAY "ALL THE WAY HOME" INSTEAD OF "MARIA'S BED"--SURE WISH HE COULD FIND ROOM FOR BOTH OF THOSE--BUT THIS NIGHT HE FOLLOWED IT BY INTRODUCING THE TUNNEL MASTERPIECE "CAUTIOUS MAN" AS "ONE OF MY FAVORITES." WHO KNEW? APPARENTLY, EVER THE CAUTIOUS MAN HIMSELF, SPRINGSTEEN HAD THE SONG ON LAST NIGHT'S SETLIST BUT WENT WITH "NEBRASKA" INSTEAD. FOLKS, WHEN THOSE ARE THE SONGS HE'S CHOOSING BETWEEN WE KNOW THAT THIS TOUR IS ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL REWARD. LET'S KEEP THAT DREAM ROLLING! SOUND IS VERY GOOD-/GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 24, 2005 DUBLIN, IRELAND THE POINT 2 CDR’S
NOTES: MAKING THE LEAP ACROSS THE POND, SPRINGSTEEN PICKS UP RIGHT WHERE HE LEFT OFF FOR THE SECOND-LEG OPENER IN DUBLIN. AFTER A RAUCOUS STANDING-O RECEPTION WELCOMED HIM TO EUROPE, THE IRISH CROWD QUICKLY SETTLED DOWN TO RESPECTFUL SILENCE AS THE HARMONIUM STRAINS OF "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD" AGAIN LED OFF THE NIGHT. EARLY TOUR OFFERINGS LIKE "FOR YOU," "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," AND "MY BEST WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH" REMAINED BACK ON U.S. SHORES AS BRUCE REPRISED HIS WELL-HONED, LATE-U.S. LEG SHOW INCLUDING THE FIVE-SONG ENCORE FROM "RAMROD" THROUGH "DREAM BABY DREAM." "NEBRASKA" MADE THE SET, WITH PIANO HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDING "THE RIVER," "REAL WORLD," AND "RACING IN THE STREET." SPRINGSTEEN ADMITTED THAT HE PROBABLY DIDN'T NEED TO TELL AN IRISH CROWD ABOUT CATHOLIC GUILT, THOUGH HE DIDN'T SHY AWAY FROM HIS RELIGIOUS RIFFS, AGAIN LIKENING THE SELECTION OF THE POPE TO WATCHING A HIGH-END TRADE FOR A SPORTS TEAM HE DOESN'T FOLLOW ANYMORE. ALL IN ALL, A FINE VENUE TO DISPLAY BRUCE'S "MOODY IRISH SIDE." SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD FADE FROM TRACK 6-7 (MAIN SET TO ENCORES). DISC IS CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 27, 2005 LONDON, GBR ROYAL ALBERT HALL 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT LONDON AND "THE WISH"... BRUCE PLAYED THE RARITY THREE TIMES THERE ON THE JOAD TOUR IN 1996, AND IT CAME OUT AGAIN TONIGHT AT ROYAL ALBERT HALL. ALSO HARKENING BACK TO JOAD, "MY BEST WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH" RETURNS TO THE SET TO SHAKE UP THE ENCORE A BIT, TAKING THE PLACE OF "I'M ON FIRE" AND "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS." AND TUNNEL WAS WELL-REPRESENTED, WITH BOTH "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" AND "CAUTIOUS MAN." TONIGHT IS THE FIRST NIGHT OF A TWO-NIGHT STAND, AND IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT "TOUGHER" HAS ONLY COME OUT AT SUCH TWO-FERS SO FAR THIS TOUR (THE ASBURY WARM-UPS AND THE PANTAGES IN L.A.). BACK TO A FOUR-SONG ENCORE, BUT A 25-SONG SET -- WHICH MEANS NOW WE KNOW HOW MANY SONGS IT TAKES TO FILL THE ALBERT HALL. MORE TRAINSPOTTING TOMORROW...

SOUND IS SUPERB/SUPERB+. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - MAY 28, 2005 LONDON, GBR ROYAL ALBERT HALL 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE SECOND SHOW OF A TWO-NIGHT LONDON STAND BRINGS SEVEN CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS NIGHT: "LONESOME DAY" WAS REPLACED BY "EMPTY SKY," "SILVER PALOMINO" BY "BLACK COWBOYS," "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" BY "TWO FACES," "MARIA'S BED" BY "ALL THE WAY HOME," "CAUTIOUS MAN" AND "NEBRASKA" BY "THE LINE," "THE WISH" BY "REAL WORLD," AND "PARADISE" REPLACED BY "RACING IN THE STREET." THE LAST TEN SONGS OF BOTH SHOWS WERE THE SAME, BUT WITH THE SATURDAY NIGHT SHOW FINDING BRUCE A BIT MORE UPBEAT, RELAXED AND CHATTY -- NOT TO MENTION THE POWERFUL "REAL WORLD"/"RACING IN THE STREET" COMBO AT THE PIANO -- REPEAT ATTENDEES WERE WELL-REWARDED. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - MAY 30, 2005 BRUSSELS, BELGIUM FOREST NATIONAL AUDITORIUM 2 CDR’S
NOTES: A TOUR PREMIERE IN BRUSSELS, AS "STATE TROOPER" GOT ITS FIRST LIVE AIRING SINCE 1996. BRUCE PLAYED THE SUICIDE-INFLUENCED SONG ON HIS GRETSCH GUITAR, TAKING THE PLACE OF "PART MAN, PART MONKEY," WHICH DROPS OUT OF THE SET FOR THE FIRST TIME. ALONG WITH "NEBRASKA" AND "REASON TO BELIEVE," THAT MADE FOR THREE SONGS FROM NEBRASKA; ADD PIANO VERSIONS OF "TOUGHER THAN THE REST," "REAL WORLD," AND "RACING," AND YOU'VE GOT QUITE A SET. THE BRUSSELS AUDIENCE WAS QUIET AND RESPECTFUL, THOUGH CLEARLY ENTHUSIASTIC, RUSHING THE STAGE FOR THE "RAMROD" ENCORE.

SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: GOOD EDIT FROM TRACKS 6-7 (MAIN SET-ENCORE) DISC IS FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 1, 2005 BARCELONA PAVELLO OLIMPIC BADALONA 2 CDR’S

BRUCE RETURNS TO THE FAN HAVEN OF BARCELONA, HOME TO THE 1999 REUNION TOUR KICK-OFF AND SCENE OF THE OFFICIAL RISING DVD FILMED IN 2002. "STATE TROOPER" AND "NEBRASKA" STAY IN THE SET FROM BRUSSELS TO BARCELONA, AS DO PIANO NOTABLES "REAL WORLD" AND "RACING IN THE STREET"; OTHERWISE SOME STANDARD SWITCH-OFFS: "LONESOME DAY" IN FOR "EMPTY SKY," "ALL THE WAY HOME" REPLACING "MARIA'S BED," AND "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS" BACK IN THE ENCORE IN PLACE OF "MY BEST." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 6-7, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 8-9, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 10-11, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 11-12, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. TRACK 12 “NEBRASKA” HAS MODERATE TAPER NOISE FOR THE FIRST 90 SECONDS. TRACKS 13-15 HAVE MINOR TO MODERATE TAPER ADJUSTMENT NOISES THROUGHOUT. DISC TWO: QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 1-2, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. QUICK FADE FROM TRACKS 4-5 NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C22 - JUNE 2, 2005 MADRID PALACIO DE DEPORTES DE LA COMUNIDAD 2 CDR’S

MADRID GETS THE EUROPEAN TOUR PREMIERES OF "FOR YOU," "MY HOMETOWN," AND "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN," NONE OF WHICH HAD BEEN PERFORMED SINCE THE FIRST HALF OF THE U.S. LEG. AS AT ITS LAST PERFORMANCE IN ARIZONA, "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN" IS AT THE CENTER OF A THREE-IN-A-ROW "MARIA SUITE," BEGINNING WITH "MARIA'S BED" AND ENDING WITH "RENO." HOW'S THAT FOR STORYTELLING? PLUS, THE GREAT SURF-NOIR "STATE TROOPER" STAYS IN THE SET, PLAYED FOR THE THIRD SHOW IN A ROW. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: GOOD FADE FROM TRACKS 8-9, NO MUSIC AFFECTED. DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 – JUNE 4, 2005 PALAMALAGUTI ARENA, BOLOGNA, ITALY 2 CDR’S

BRUCE KEEPS DIGGING INTO NEBRASKA, WITH TONIGHT'S TOUR PREMIERE OF "MY FATHER'S HOUSE" JOINING "REASON TO BELIEVE" AND "STATE TROOPER." A FEW SONGS LATER, HE OFFERED A RARE TRIPLE-SHOT ON PIANO ("PARADISE" INTO "REAL WORLD" INTO "MY HOMETOWN"), MAKING FOR SIX SONGS ON PIANO FOR BOLOGNA. SOUND IS SUPERB. A VERY ETHUSIASTIC ITALIAN AUDIENCE WHO IS LOUD AND APPRECIATIVE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES AND QUIET WHEN IT COUNTS REALLY HIGHLIGHTS HOW BOORISH AND UNDESERVING MOST AMERICAN AUDIENCES ARE OF THIS QUIET, INTROSPECIVE AND BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 6, 2005 ROME, ITA PALALOTTOMATICA ARENA 2 CDR’S
NOTES: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A MONTH "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD" DOES NOT OPEN THE SHOW, AND FALLS OUT OF THE SETLIST. INSTEAD, ROME IS WELCOMED BY THE SOUNDS OF ONE OF THEIR OWN, ENNIO MORRICONE, AS BRUCE ENTERED TO THE THEME FROM "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST." HE THEN DEDICATED "I'M ON FIRE" TO ROME AND MORRICONE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT OFF-KEY WHISTLING HAD A BIT MORE CONTEXT IF YOU THINK A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. HOW LUCKY IS ROME? WELL, THEY WERE ALSO TREATED TO TWO TOUR PREMIERES, AS "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" FINALLY MAKES ITS WAY IN, AND "LUCKY TOWN" REPRESENTS FOR ITS NAMESAKE ALBUM. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE BOTH "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" AND "RACING IN THE STREET" ON PIANO, AND THE ENCORES WHERE BRUCE ENCOURAGED THE CROWD TO "COME IN 'FIGLI MIEI' (MY SONS)." YOU THINK BRUCE FEELS A SPECIAL KINSHIP WITH ITALIANS? HEY, IS THE POPE GERMAN?! SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 1 IS THE PRE CONCERT MUSIC WHICH IS THE HAUTING OPENING THEME OF THE 1969 SERGIO LEONE FILM "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST." BY ITALIAN COMPOSER ENNIO MORRICONE. BOTH DISCS ARE CLEAN.

C22 - JUNE 7, 2005 MILAN MILAN FORUM 2 CDR’S

ON THE EVE OF HIS 14TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO HIS RED-HEADED WOMAN PATTI SCIALFA, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TREATED THE CROWD AT THE MILAN FORUM TO SOME ROMANCE. WHETHER IT WAS INTENDED AS A LONG DISTANCE DEDICATION OR NOT, SPRINGSTEEN OFFERED UP A TRILOGY OF SONGS FOR SEPARATED LOVERS: "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" ON PIANO, FOLLOWED BY THE WILDLY RECEIVED "OPEN ALL NIGHT" ON ELECTRIC GUITAR, AND ROUNDED OUT BY "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT," THAT BEAUTIFULLY HIGH-PITCHED DITTY PLAYED FOR JUST THE THIRD TIME THIS TOUR. YES, BRUCE HAS TALKED ABOUT HAVING TO HIDE HIS LOVE SONGS WITHIN HIS EARLY WORK, BUT HEARING THESE THREE BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK MADE YOU WONDER IF HE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE "AN ALL NIGHT RUN TO GET BACK TO WHERE (HIS) BABY LIVES." AND "OPEN ALL NIGHT" (LAST PLAYED AT THE ST ROSE OF LIMA SHOW IN LATE 1996) WASN'T THE ONLY TOUR PREMIERE FOR THE ROWDY MILANESE--"LOST IN THE FLOOD" MADE ITS TOUR-PROPER DEBUT, WHILE BOTH "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" AND "LUCKY TOWN" STAYED IN THE SET FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE. AND HOW GREAT IS THE SETLIST WHEN THE LAST THING WE MENTION IS "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY" ON PIANO? BRAVO, ITALIA, BRAVO. SOUND IS GOOD+/VERY GOOD-, THE TAPERS MICROPHONE FREQUENTLY OVERMODULATES IN THE HIGHER REGISTERS. THIS TRANSLASTES INTO SLIGHTLY STATICKY SOUND AT TIMES. THERE ARE QUICK, WELL DONE FADES BETWEEN MOST TRACKS, BOTH DISCS. DISC ONE: TRACK 7 “THE RIVER” HAS MODERATE TO SEVERE TAPER NOISES THROUGHOUT THE FIRST 2 MINUTES. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 “JESUS WAS AN ONLY SON” CUTS OFF/FADES OUT @ 5:15 DURING THE PIANO OUTRO, TRACK 2 “LEAH” CUTS IN DURING THE OPENING GUITAR CHORDS.

C22 – JUNE 13, 2005 OLYMPIA HALL, MUNICH, GERMANY 2 CDR’S
JUST ANOTHER MUNICH MONDAY... WHAT WAS TO BE THE THIRD OF FIVE GERMAN SHOWS BECOMES THE FIRST, WITH SPRINGSTEEN GETTING BACK TO THE TOUR-AS-SCHEDULED TONIGHT AFTER POSTPONING HAMBURG AND BERLIN. ROARING BACK, ACTUALLY, WITH A WUNDERBAR SETLIST -- NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED AT THE PREVIOUS SHOW, INCLUDING THREE TOUR DEBUTS. THE SOLO TOUR'S FIRST "INTO THE FIRE" OPENED THE SET, PLAYED ON PUMP ORGAN IN PLACE OF "MY BEAUTIFUL REWARD." IN THE ENCORE, BILLIE JE-- ER, "BOBBY JEAN" WAS A D&D TOUR PREMIERE AS WELL (PLAYED AT THE SECOND ASBURY WARM-UP SHOW, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE TOUR-PROPER TONIGHT). IN BETWEEN, "LUCKY TOWN," "BOOK OF DREAMS," "STATE TROOPER," "REAL WORLD"... AND AT THE OL' EBAY-SUPPLIED ELECTRIC PIANO, BANG BANG BABY, THE TOUR DEBUT OF "POINT BLANK"! SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 15, 2005 FRANKFURT FESTHALLE 2 CDR’S

"INTO THE FIRE" STAYS IN THE SET TO OPEN, THE ELECTRIC "OPEN ALL NIGHT" IS BACK IN, AND "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD" IS PLAYED FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME ON THIS TOUR (IT PREMIERED IN FAIRFAX). BUT THE REAL STAND-OUTS TONIGHT WERE AT THE PIANO: A RARE TRIPLE-SHOT EARLY IN THE SET OF "FOR YOU," "TWO FACES" AND "THE RIVER," AND LATER, "LOST IN THE FLOOD" AND THE FIRST-EVER "COUNTIN ON A MIRACLE" AT THE KEYS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 16, 2005 PHILLIPSHALLE, DUSSELDORF, GERMANY 2 CDR’S

FROM FRANKFURT TO DUSSELDORF, FROM WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY, HALF OF THE SET CHANGES -- IN A 25-SONG SET, 12 DIFFERENT SONGS WERE PLAYED TONIGHT. THAT INCLUDED THREE TOUR PREMIERES: THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OF "HIGHWAY 29" SINCE THE TOM JOAD TOUR; "I WISH I WERE BLIND," LAST PLAYED AT THE RISING TOUR FINALE, HERE ON PIANO AND ELECTRIC PIANO; AS WELL AS THE FIRST-EVER PIANO VERSION OF "MARY'S PLACE." (NO KNEE SLIDES ON THAT ONE THIS TIME.) ALSO ON PIANO TONIGHT: "INCIDENT," "TOUGHER," AND "RACING." WHEW! WITH ALL THESE TOUR DEBUTS AND SHAKE-UPS, SOMETHING ELSE HAD TO GIVE: THERE WERE ONLY 7 SONGS PLAYED FROM DEVILS & DUST, WITH "LEAH" DROPPING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME (REPLACED BY "THIS HARD LAND") AND "HIGHWAY 29" TAKING THE "SILVER PALOMINO"/"BLACK COWBOYS" SLOT. SOUND IS VERY GOOD+/SUPERB. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - JUNE 19, 2005 ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS AHOY THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: A FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, OPENING WITH THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "ADAM RAISED A CAIN," AND LATER ADDING "MY FATHER'S HOUSE," ONLY THE SECOND PERFORMANCE OF THAT SONG THIS TOUR. AND LET'S NOT OVERLOOK THE SUNNIER SIDE OF FATHERHOOD OFFERED UP IN "LONG TIME COMIN'," EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN A NIGHTLY STAPLE SINCE EAST RUTHERFORD. ON THE PAINO: THE TRIPLE-SHOT OF "FOR YOU," "TWO FACES," AND "THE RIVER"; AND LATER, "COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE" INTO "RACING IN THE STREET." "THIS HARD LAND" TAKES "LEAH"'S PLACE FOR THE SECOND SHOW RUNNING, AND A FIVE-SONG ENCORE MAKES FOR A 26-SONG SET. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. SOUND IS VERY CLEAR BUT NOT QUITE AS “FULL” AS OTHER EUROPEAN RECORDINGS OF SIMILAR VINTAGE. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 - JUNE 20, 2005 PARIS, FRANCE BERCY 2 CDR’S

I LOVE PARIS IN THE SUMMER, WHEN IT SIZZLES.... AS IT DOES WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE TRIO OF "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT"/"I'M ON FIRE"/"RENO" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET, FOR THE THIRD SHOW IN A ROW. A TRIPLE-SHOT ON THE PIANO FOLLOWED, WITH "MARY'S PLACE" BOOKENDED BY "POINT BLANK" AND "RACING IN THE STREET"... AHH, ROMANCE. IF IT'S TOUR DEBUTS THAT GET YOU HOT & BOTHERED, BRUCE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST: THE ENCORE KICKED OFF WITH "CADILLAC RANCH," IN A STYLE SIMILAR TO THIS TOUR'S "RAMROD." IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, SPRINGSTEEN BROUGHT ELLIOTT MURPHY TO THE STAGE (IN WHAT'S BECOME A PARIS TRADITION -- MURPHY GUESTED AT THE PARIS JOAD TOUR FINALE IN 1997, AS WELL AS AT THIS VERY VENUE ON 6/2/99), FOR THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "BETTER DAYS." IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT BRUCE BROUGHT THE BUSH-TWEAKING "PART MAN, PART MONKEY" BACK TO THE SET FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE LONDON. YEAH, IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN SEINE CITY...

SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 22, 2005 COPENHAGEN, DENMARK FORUM 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE CIRCUS COMES TO COPENHAGEN! NO LESS THAN THREE TOUR PREMIERES BROUGHT SOME THRILLS AND CHILLS TO THE BIG TOP TONIGHT: "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" ON PIANO (STARTING AND FINISHING ON THE ELECTRIC "EBAY" PIANO); THE FIRST "STRAIGHT TIME" SINCE THE JOAD TOUR; AND IN THE ENCORE... JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT BRUCE MIGHT NOT HAVE MANY MORE SURPRISES UP HIS SLEEVE... JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE ENCORE WOULD BE THE LAST PLACE TO LOOK FOR 'EM... YESSIR, "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY." AND THAT WAS AFTER CANNONBALLING THROUGH RARITIES LIKE "INCIDENT," "I WISH I WERE BLIND," AND "CADILLAC RANCH." WILD, WILD STUFF. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 15 “SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT” FADES OUT DURING THE OUTRO CHANT. DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 23, 2005 GOTHENBURG SCANDANAVIUM THEATRE 2 CDR’S

AN ASTOUNDING SETLIST, START TO FINISH, IN GOTHENBERG -- WHERE THEY'RE SURELY ACCUSTOMED TO SUCH THINGS, BUT STILL. LET'S START WITH THE TRUE JAW-DROPPER OF THE NIGHT: "FADE AWAY," PLAYED BY REQUEST. THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THE RIVER HAD BEEN INEXPLICABLY LEFT TO VANISH IN THE NIGHT OF DECADES PASSED, BUT IT CAME OUT TONIGHT ON ELECTRIC PIANO/PIANO (THERE'S HOPE FOR "THE PRICE YOU PAY" YET, FOLKS!). "INTO THE FIRE" OPENED THE SET, WHICH ALSO INCLUDED "HIGHWAY 29"; "INCIDENT" INTO "REAL WORLD" AT THE PIANO; BOTH "STATE TROOPER" AND "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN"; "RACING," "LUCKY TOWN," "CADILLAC RANCH," A SURPRISE "MARIA'S BED" IN THE ENCORE... ALL IN ALL, LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE'S HARD TO TOP -- BUT AH, HELL, STOCKHOLM'S NEXT, SO HE JUST MIGHT! SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 25, 2005 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN HOVET THEATRE 2 CDR’S

WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED AS THE EUROPEAN TOUR CLOSER IS NOW THE THIRD-TO-LAST SHOW OF THE LEG, WITH TWO GERMAN SHOWS HAVING BEEN BUMPED TO JUNE 27 AND 28. BUT DON'T THINK THE STOCKHOLM SHOW SUFFERED FOR IT: FOUR TOUR PREMIERES TONIGHT, AND ANOTHER WILD SETLIST ALL AROUND. "DOWNBOUND TRAIN" OPENS; "ACROSS THE BORDER" LEADS INTO "RENO." ON THE PIANO, AT LONG LAST (AND LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER FATHER'S DAY), "WALK LIKE A MAN." AND THE ENCORE, MAMA, THAT'S WHERE THE FUN IS: IN ADDITION TO A "CADILLAC RANCH"/"RAMROD" HYBRID, A CELEBRATION OF MIDSUMMER WITH AN IMPROMPTU CROWD SING-ALONG OF THE TRADITIONAL SWEDISH DRINKING SONG "HELAN GAR" BEFORE BREAKING OUT THE FIRST "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" OF THE TOUR. ALONG WITH THESE DEBUTS, SPRINGSTEEN ALSO CUTS LOOSE LIKE A DEUCE WITH RARITIES LIKE "THE PROMISE," "POINT BLANK," "MY HOMETOWN," AND "LUCKY TOWN." 26 SONGS IN ALL, EVEN COUNTING "RAMROD RANCH" AS ONE. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: TRACK 16 “THE RISING” FADES OUT AT 2:57 BUT STARTS ONER IN FULL AS TRACK 1 OF DISC 2.DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!!

C22 - JUNE 27, 2006 HAMBURG, GER COLOR LINE ARENA 2 CDR’S
NOTES: THE PENULTIMATE NIGHT OF THE EUROPEAN TOUR IS THE FIRST OF THE TWO RESCHEDULED GERMANY CONCERTS, AND HOW DOES SPRINGSTEEN SAY "THANKS FOR WAITING"? LET US COUNT THE WAYS: THE PUMP-ORGAN "DOWNBOUND TRAIN" STAYS IN TO OPEN THE SHOW AFTER ITS DEBUT IN STOCKHOLM, AND IN ADDITION TO RARITIES LIKE "HIGHWAY 29" AND "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN," BRUCE PULLED OUT THREE MORE TOUR PREMIERES. ON PIANO, THE WONDERFUL B-SIDE/TRACKS CUT "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART." IN THE "FURTHER"/"LUCKY TOWN" SLOT, THE LAST SONG FROM TUNNEL WE'D EXPECT TO HEAR AT ONE OF THESE SHOWS (WELL, EXCEPT THE EVER-ELUSIVE "VALENTINE'S DAY"), "SPARE PARTS." AND A FINE PAIRING IN THE ENCORE, AS THE DEBUT OF "GROWIN' UP" LEADS INTO "THE PROMISED LAND." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

C22 - JUNE 28, 2005 / BERLIN, GER / ICC
NOTES: FOR THE RESCHEDULED BERLIN SHOW, NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE IN HAMBURG, INCLUDING TWO TOUR PREMIERES. "SINALOA COWBOYS" TURNED UP IN THE MAIN SET, AND IN THE ENCORE, FREQUENT GERMAN GUEST WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN JOINED IN FOR "HUNGRY HEART" (THE SONG FOR WHICH HE FILMED A VIDEO WITH SPRINGSTEEN IN 1995). BRUCE KEPT "SPARE PARTS" IN, REPRISED THE "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" OPENER FROM ROTTERDAM, AND REVISITED A NUMBER OF SONGS THAT HAD DROPPED OUT OF THE SET EARLIER IN THE LEG, LIKE "ALL THE WAY HOME," "PARADISE," AND "TWO FACES." AS WITH EVERY OTHER SHOW ON THIS LEG, THE LAST DANCE FOR EUROPE CAME TO A CLOSE WITH WHAT ELSE BUT "DREAM BABY DREAM"... ENDING A MONTH-LONG RUN THAT HAS NORTH AMERICAN FANS DREAMING OF EUROPEAN SETLISTS. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: GOOD EDIT FROM TRACKS 5-6 (MAIN SET TO FIRST ENCORE) TRACK 7 “HUNGRY HEART” FEATURES FREQUENT BERLIN GUEST WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN ON CO-LEAD VOCALS. GOOD EDIT FROM TRACKS 9-10 (FIRST ENCORE TO SECOND ENCORE).

CASE 22 – JULY 14, 2005 TORONTO, ON / AIR CANADA CENTRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: FROM THE "INTO THE FIRE" OPENER ON THE PUMP ORGAN TO "WILD BILLY" BY REQUEST IN THE ENCORE (DEDICATED TO DANA), A WILDLY UNPREDICTABLE SHOW WITH MORE THAN HALF THE SET CHANGING FROM THE PREVIOUS ONTARIO NIGHT. "DARLINGTON COUNTY" WAS A TOUR PREMIERE TO KICK OFF THE ENCORE (AND A ROUSING ONE, BRUCE ENCOURAGING SOME AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION), WITH OTHER RARITIES LIKE "STATE TROOPER," "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY," AND "LOST IN THE FLOOD" SPRINKLED AROUND. TWO SONGS CAME OUT FROM TUNNEL OF LOVE ("TWO FACES" AND "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" BY REQUEST), AND BRUCE EVEN FLASHED BACK TO THE TUNNEL TOUR AS HE SANG A BIT OF "I'M A COWARD" DURING HIS LOVE-SONG TALK BEFORE "FOR YOU." ALONG THE WAY SOMEONE YELLED OUT FOR "THUNDER ROAD" -- THE NEW "FREEBIRD"? -- AND BRUCE JUST SAID, "AHHHHH, SHUT UP." FAIR ENOUGH, EH?

C22 - JULY 16, 2005 ALBANY, NY / PEPSI ARENA 2 CDR’S

NOTES: WHO'S THE BOSS? "YOU'RE THE BOSS!" SHOUTED A FAN. "THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP," BRUCE REPLIED, CLEARLY HAVING A GOOD TIME AT HIS FIRST U.S. SHOW SINCE BOSTON IN MAY. SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED "LONG TIME COMIN'" TO HIS SON EVAN, IN ATTENDANCE, AND EVEN LAUGHINGLY GOT HIS SON'S GOAT BY PLAYING A BIT OF "PONY BOY" AS AN INTRO. "SILVER PALOMINO" WAS DEDICATED TO EVAN'S FRIEND TYLER (ALSO AT THE SHOW, AND FOR WHOM THE SONG WAS WRITTEN). SOME FINE RARITIES IN THE SET, INCLUDING "THE PROMISE" AND "PARADISE," BOTH BY REQUEST; "CAUTIOUS MAN" (DESCRIBED, AS IN BOSTON, AS "ONE OF MY FAVORITES") MADE FOR THREE TUNNEL SONGS IN THE SET, ALONG WITH "TOUGHER" AND "SPARE PARTS." "LEAH" RETURNED TO SIT ALONGSIDE ITS RECENT REPLACEMENT, "THIS HARD LAND," FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND IN THE ENCORE, THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET." SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS! LONG FADE FROM TRACKS 7-8 ON DISC TWO, NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C22 - JULY 18, 2005 BUFFALO, NY / HSBC ARENA 2 CDR’S

NOTES: WE'LL BE THE FIRST TO POINT OUT THAT THE SETLIST IS NOT NECESSARILY THE STORY OF THE SHOW. EXCEPT ON NIGHTS LIKE TONIGHT. IT WAS A SPARSELY ATTENDED SHOW IN A SEEMINGLY SPARSELY POPULATED UPSTATE BURG: "I'VE BEEN IN BUFFALO FOR TWO DAYS," BRUCE SAID, "THESE ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE I'VE SEEN. WHERE IS EVERYBODY?" BUT AFTER SOME MAN IN BLACK UPGRADES CONSOLIDATED THE CROWD MOSTLY TO THE FLOOR AND LOWER-LEVEL SIDES, THOSE WHO WERE THERE SAW SPRINGSTEEN THROTTLE THE SETLIST WITHIN AN INCH OF ITS LIFE. OPENING WITH "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" ON ACOUSTIC, A PARTICULARLY LOOSE BRUCE PLAYED 14 DIFFERENT SONGS FROM THE PREVIOUS CONCERT, LEAVING ONLY THE BAREST OF SETLIST SKELETONS. SIX TOUR PREMIERES -- THAT'S A QUARTER OF THE SHOW: THE "PROVE IT" OPENER, WHICH WAS AN AUDIBLE AND A NEW ARRANGEMENT; "SANDY" ON ELECTRIC PIANO (BY REQUEST); PIANO VERSIONS OF "LEAP OF FAITH," "WHEN YOU'RE ALONE," AND "YOU'RE MISSING" (REQUESTED AS "EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING," WHICH BRUCE ADMITTED HAD HIM RACKING HIS BRAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES); AND "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN." MANY OF THE NON-PREMIERES WERE RARITIES OR RECENT ABSENTEES WHICH ALONE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTS. SO IF YOU WERE WORRIED THAT HE'D REVERT TO THE "STANDARD" SET AFTER EUROPE... BE NOT AFRAID. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS! GOOD EDIT FROM TRACKS 6-7 (MAIN SET TO ENCORE) NO MUSIC AFFECTED.

C22 - JULY 20, 2005 BRIDGEPORT, CT / ARENA AT HARBOR YARD 2 CDR’S

NOTES: BACK TO THE LAND OF PACKED VENUES, A FULL HOUSE IN CONNECTICUT INCLUDED JESSE MALIN IN THE CROWD (TO WHOM BRUCE DEDICATED "THE PROMISE") AND SUICIDE'S ALAN VEGA, SONGWRITER OF BRUCE'S SHOW CLOSER, WHO ALSO GOT A SHOUT-OUT. THE LONGEST SET YET, AT 27 SONGS, STRETCHING OUT THANKS TO SOME SERIOUS PIANO ACTION. SEVEN SONGS AT THE KEYS TONIGHT, INCLUDING TOUR PREMIERES "ALL THAT HEAVEN WILL ALLOW" AND "NOTHING MAN," BOTH ON ELECTRIC PIANO. A SLIGHT FLASHBACK TO THE MEADOWLANDS, AS SOME SOUND DIFFICULTIES BEFORE "RACING IN THE STREET" HAD SOME IN THE CROWD YELLING FOR A FIX; BRUCE OFFERED TO COME OUT AND SLAP THEM AROUND. BUT LESSONS HAVE BEEN LEARNED IN THE TWO MONTHS SINCE JERSEY, AS SPRINGSTEEN WAS QUICKLY TOLD ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND HE ADDRESSED IT SOON AFTER: "I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A BUZZ IN THE P.A. SYSTEM, AND IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SHOUTING ABOUT, I APOLOGIZE." (OF COURSE, HE COULDN'T RESIST ADDING, "IF IT WASN'T THAT, GO FUCK YOURSELF.") MORE HIGHLIGHTS: "HIGHWAY 29," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," "SPARE PARTS" ON BOTTLENECK 12-STRING... NOT QUITE REACHING THE HIGH BAR SET IN BUFFALO FOR THE RARITY HUNTERS, BUT IF A MEASLY TWO TOUR PREMIERES DON'T DO IT FOR YA, MAYBE YOU NEED SOME SLAPPING AROUND. SOUND IS SUPERB. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

CASE 22 – JULY 23, 2005 ATLANTA, GA / PHILIPS ARENA 2 CDR’S
FOR SOME REASON, SPRINGSTEEN TENDS TO BLESS ATLANTA WITH WORLD PREMIERE PERFORMANCES. FIVE YEARS AGO, IT WAS "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)" AND "AMERICAN SKIN (41 SHOTS)." TONIGHT, NOT NEW SONGS, BUT ANOTHER TWO-FER -- OR IN BRUCE'S WORDS, A "BACK-TO-BACK, NEVER-PLAYED-BEFORE DOUBLE HEADER." THE FIRST, ON ELECTRIC PIANO, WAS "SAD EYES," THE SONG RELEASED ON TRACKS IN 1998. THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE BIG ONE, THE ONLY SONG FROM TUNNEL THAT HAD NEVER BEEN PLAYED LIVE: "VALENTINES DAY." SPRINGSTEEN REHEARSED THE SONG BACK IN EARLY '88 FOR THE TUNNEL OF LOVE EXPRESS TOUR, BUT MORE THAN 17 YEARS PASSED BEFORE ITS FIRST-EVER IN-CONCERT AIRING, ON PIANO. AND THE IMPORT WASN'T LOST ON THE ATLANTA CROWD, WHICH RESPONDED WITH A STANDING OVATION. THE REACTION SEEMED TO TAKE BRUCE BY SURPRISE, AND IT WENT ON LONG ENOUGH THAT THE HOUSE LIGHTS CAME UP TO ILLUMINATE THE MOMENT. "THERE'S A LIGHT GUY EARNING HIS MONEY," SAID BRUCE. A NUMBER OF OTHER HIGHLIGHTS -- INCLUDING "NOTHING MAN," DEDICATED TO LOCAL HERO BRENDAN O'BRIEN; "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT" ("SOMETIMES I HAVE THE VOICE FOR THIS, SOMETIMES I DON'T, WE'LL SEE...." HE WARNED, BUT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION); "INCIDENT" AND "LOST IN THE FLOOD" BY REQUEST -- BUT TONIGHT WILL SURELY BE REMEMBERED AS THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT ON IN GEORGIA FOR "VALENTINE'S DAY."

C22 – JULY 24, 2005 CHARLOTTE, NC / CHARLOTTE COLISEUM
SPRINGSTEEN CLEARLY HAS SOME FONDNESS FOR CHARLOTTE AS THE LONGTIME HOME OF HIS COUSIN FRANK, AND SEVERAL ANECDOTES TONIGHT ADDED TO THE WARMTH OF A RELAXED AND BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE. "HE WAS A LITTLE OLDER THAN ME," BRUCE SAID OF HIS COUSIN, "HE PLAYED THE ACCORDION, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE COOLEST INSTRUMENT I'D EVER SEEN." FRANK'S WARDROBE, TOO, WAS AN INSPIRATION, DOWN TO THE BLACK SOCKS WITH WHITE SNEAKERS. "THAT WAS THE OUTFIT I ASPIRED TO," BRUCE RECALLED (BEFORE ADDING, "I DON'T LOOK RIGHT IN SNEAKERS"). "FRANK RAISED A WHOLE BUNCH OF KIDS HERE, AND THEY ALL TURNED OUT ALRIGHT," BRUCE SAID, INTRODUCING "LONG TIME COMIN'," "SO THIS IS FOR THE MOMS AND POPS." THE MENTION OF "CAROLINE" GOT A HUGE CHEER IN "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT," AND BRUCE REVEALED THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SETTING: "IT RHYMED WITH WINE." HE CONTINUED: "CAROLINE IS GOOD, A LOT RHYMES WITH IT. JERSEY'S NOT SO GOOD THAT WAY... GUERNSEY?..." MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED BACK-TO-BACK TUNNEL RARITIES ON THE KEYS, "WHEN YOU'RE ALONE" AND "TWO FACES"; AND LATER, THE PIANO TRIO OF "NOTHING MAN," "REAL WORLD," AND "RACING IN THE STREET." "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN" WAS PLAYED FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY (BASED RIGHT HERE IN BACKSTREETS' NEIGHBORHOOD OF CARRBORO). BRUCE CAME BACK TO FRANK AGAIN LATER IN THE SHOW, TALKING ABOUT DOING ODD JOBS FOR 50 CENTS AN HOUR TO BUY A GUITAR AT WESTERN AUTO PARTS, "AND IT WAS ACTUALLY MY COUSIN FRANK WHO SHOWED ME MY FIRST CHORDS ON GUITAR." MAYBE IT WAS THOSE MEMORIES THAT INSPIRED THE PAIR OF OLDER SONGS TO KICK OFF THE ENCORE, THE RHYME-LADEN "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" INTO "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY." THE LATTER WAS A BIT ROUGH... BUT WITH A LAID-BACK BRUCE ENJOYING HIMSELF AS MUCH AS THE CROWD, NO NEED TO WHINE OR MALIGN, THAT WAS JUST FINE IN CAROLINE. SOUND IS GOOD+. A LITTLE MUDDIER THAN ONE WOULD EXPECT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE RECENT DATE OF THE RECORDING. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

CASE 22 - JULY 26, 2005 GREENSBORO, NC GREENSBORO COLISEUM 2 CDR’S
NOTES: RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, GREENSBORO GOT SOMETHING UNIQUE, WITH "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE PUMP ORGAN. (PREVIOUSLY ON THIS TOUR, BRUCE HAS PLAYED THE SONG ON GUITAR AND PIANO... IS A BANJITAR VERSION NEXT?) BUT THE BIGGIE OF THE EVENING CAME MIDWAY THROUGH THE SHOW, AS BRUCE SAT AT THE PIANO AND SAID, "THIS IS A SONG I'VE PLAYED ONCE, FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER NIGHT. I'LL GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT..." AND WITH THAT, HE WENT INTO A MAJESTIC AND MOVING "VALENTINE'S DAY," WHICH HAD ITS LIVE WORLD PREMIERE IN ATLANTA. IT'S EASY TO GET WORKED UP OVER THE RARITY FACTOR, WE DO THAT PLENTY. BUT KNOWING THAT THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND TIME BRUCE HAS EVER PLAYED "VALENTINE'S DAY" IN CONCERT WAS, WELL, SECONDARY TO THE FACT THAT PERFORMANCE ITSELF WAS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING. ADD THAT TO THE PIANO DOUBLE-SHOT OF "ALL THAT HEAVEN WILL ALLOW" (SENT OUT TO THE RASPBERRIES, BRUCE FONDLY RECALLING THEIR GREATEST HITS CASSETTE IN HIS CAR STEREO IN THE LATE '70S, "RIDING DOWN TO THE BAR, A GIRL YOU'RE GOING TO SEE") AND "TOUGHER THAN THE REST," AND THE REDISCOVERED TUNNEL OF LOVE MATERIAL CONTINUES TO PROVIDE HIGH POINTS OF THESE SETS. A CAPTIVATING "GALVESTON BAY" WAS PLAYED FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY. AND TOWARD THE END OF THE SET, THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "TWO HEARTS" ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR WAS FOLLOWED BY THE RETURN OF "LEAH," BRIDGED BY BRUCE NOTING, "SAME STORY, DIFFERENT WORDS." ANYONE SEARCHIN' FOR THE GHOST OF JUNIOR JOHNSON MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED -- NO "CADILLAC RANCH," AND NO "DARLINGTON COUNTY" FOR THAT MATTER -- BUT "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT" HAS TAKEN OVER AS THE CAROLINA SPECIAL, THE MENTION OF "CAROLINE" GETTING A BIG CHEER AS IN CHARLOTTE. BRUCE ALSO TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDEEM "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY," LOOSE AT BEST AT THE LAST SHOW, TONIGHT TIGHT AS A DRUM.

C22 – JULY 28, 2005 JULY 28 / PITTSBURGH, PA / PETERSEN EVENTS CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: SOME STEELTOWN SPECIALS TONIGHT: THE 12-STRING "YOUNGSTOWN," NOT PLAYED SINCE BRUCE WAS LAST IN PENNSYLVANIA, IN MAY; AND IN THE ENCORE, BRUCE'S "OLD COMPADRE" JOE GRUSHECKY JOINED IN FOR "HOMESTEAD." SHARING THE MIC WITH BRUCE FOR DUELING VERSES, JOE ALSO PLAYED GUITAR AND HARMONICA ON THIS SONG THEY WROTE TOGETHER. ANOTHER TOUR PREMIERE, "ONE STEP UP" WAS PLAYED ON 6-STRING AND RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION, WITH BRUCE NOTING "I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO PLAY THAT ONE AGAIN!" (AS OF TONIGHT, ONLY TWO SONGS FROM TUNNEL OF LOVE NOW REMAIN TO BE PLAYED ON THIS TOUR: "AIN'T GOT YOU," AND THE TITLE TRACK. CAN HE MAKE THE SWEEP?) CARRYING OVER FROM THE GREENSBORO SHOW WERE "ALL THAT HEAVEN WILL ALLOW" (AN AUDIBLE, AS BRUCE WANTED TO PLAY SOMETHING "HAPPY"), "TWO HEARTS," AND "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY." OTHER HIGHLIGHTS WERE THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE OF "GROWIN' UP," AND A PARTICULARLY STRONG "REAL WORLD." SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE CROWD HE'D BEEN PLAYING THAT ONE A LOT ON THE TOUR, ADDING, "I GUESS I FUCKED IT UP WHEN I RECORDED IT." WE'RE JUST GLAD HE FOUND HIS WAY BACK TO IT -- AND HEY, IT'S NOTHING AN OFFICIAL LIVE RELEASE COULDN'T RECTIFY, RIGHT?

SOUND IS GOOD+. SLIGHTLY MUDDY SOUND ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE RECENT VINTAGE. VERY SLIGHT POPS ARE DESCERNIBLE BETWEEN ALL TRACKS WHICH WOULD INDICATE A MINI-DISC SOURCE. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: CLEAN.

C22 – JULY 31, 2005 COLUMBUS, OH SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT... SPRINGSTEEN STARTED TONIGHT NOT ON PUMP ORGAN BUT ON ELECTRIC PIANO, CONFIDENT ENOUGH WITH HIS FALSETTO TO BREAK OUT THE LIVE PREMIERE OF "LIFT ME UP," WRITTEN FOR THE JOHN SAYLES FILM LIMBO. AND WITH THAT, THE TONE WAS SET EARLY FOR ONE OF THE STRONGEST SHOWS YET OF THIS SUMMER LEG, WITH SURPRISES APLENTY, A RAPT AND RESPECTFUL CROWD, SPRINGSTEEN IN A HAPPY AND EXPANSIVE MOOD. SOON CAME THE TOUR DEBUT OF "BACK IN YOUR ARMS," BRUCE NAILING IT WITH A SOULFUL, HEARTWRENCHING VERSION AT THE PIANO. "STATE TROOPER" RETURNED, IN ITS SUICIDE-INFLUENCED VERSION HEARD IN BRIDGEPORT AND BUFFALO (AS OPPOSED TO THE "SURF-NOIR" RENDITION FROM EUROPE). THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE SAY-WHAT?! HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT: THE FIRST-EVER ACOUSTIC "CYNTHIA," A ROLLICKING, JANGLY VERSION THAT ONE REPEAT ATTENDEE CALLED "THE MOST ROCKING SONG ON THE ENTIRE TOUR." AND THE "HITS" JUST KEPT A-COMIN', WITH "ONE STEP UP," "VALENTINE'S DAY" (DEDICATED TO SAMANTHA), AND A SEARING "LOST IN THE FLOOD." THIS ONE'LL BE HARD TO TOP. THEN AGAIN, YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT AFTER ATLANTA, TOO. SOUND IS SUPERB, NEAR STUDIO QUALITY. DISC ONE: FLAWLESS! DISC TWO: FLAWLESS!

CASE 22 - AUGUST 1, 2005 U.S. BANK ARENA, CINCINNATI, OH

S/C:- AIN'T GOT YOU / TWO FOR THE ROAD / LIVING PROOF (X3)

TWO FOR THE ROAD / REASON TO BELIEVE / DEVILS AND DUST / EMPTY SKY / LONG TIME COMING / SILVER PALOMINO / JANEY DON'T YOU LOSE HEART / THE PROMISE / THE RIVER / AIN'T GOT YOU / ALL I'M THINKING ABOUT / LIVING PROOF / RENO / WALK LIKE A MAN / RACING IN THE STREET / THE RISING / DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN / JESUS WAS AN ONLY SON / TWO HEARTS / THE HITTER / MATAMOROS BANKS / OPEN ALL NIGHT / THIS HARD LAND / THE PROMISED LAND / DREAM BABY DREAM

C22 - AUGUST 3, 2005 GRAND RAPIDS, MI VAN ANDEL ARENA
NOTES: GRAND RAPIDS WAS MOMENTOUS FROM THE GET-GO: AS OF TONIGHT'S OPENER, "TUNNEL OF LOVE," EVERY SONG FROM THAT 1987 ALBUM HAS NOW BEEN PLAYED ON THIS TOUR. (BRUCE EVEN LATER REPRISED "AIN'T GOT YOU" FOR GOOD MEASURE, WHICH WAS JUST DEBUTED AT THE PREVIOUS SHOW.) "TUNNEL" WAS ON THE ELECTRIC PIANO, A BLUESY AND HYPNOTIC READING THAT REFLECTED THE WEIGHT OF ANOTHER 18 YEARS ON THE NARRATOR. AT THE OTHER END OF THE EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM, "SHERRY DARLING" ALSO PREMIERED ON THAT "MAGIC PIANO," OFFERED UP AS A FUN SUMMERTIME SONG; A COUPLE SONGS LATER THE CROWD WAS ROCKING TO THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE OF "CYNTHIA," EVEN SINGING ALONG AT THE END. BUT DESPITE SUCH FUN, WHAT WAS MOST NOTABLE TONIGHT WAS BRUCE'S FOCUS AND INTENSITY: "THE RISING," THOUGH PLAYED NIGHTLY, STOOD OUT AS EXCEPTIONAL, AS DID "FURTHER," WITH A PARTICULARLY AGGRESSIVE INTRO AND DRAWN-OUT ENDING. "I WISH I WERE BLIND" WAS A BEAUTIFUL READING ON THE PIANO (PRECEDED, AS IT WAS IN OTTAWA, BY SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, THIS TIME A DEAD MICROPHONE, WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS SONG?). AND LEADING OFF THE ENCORE, "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY" ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR MADE FOR ANOTHER THREE TOUR PREMIERES, FOR THE THIRD SHOW IN A ROW. SOUND IS VERY GOOD. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: TRACK 1 “THE RISING” CUTS IN AT THE LYRIC “…CAN’T SEE NOTHING COMING UP BEHIND.” DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN.

C22 - AUGUST 6, 2005 ST. LOUIS, MO / FOX THEATRE
NOTES: BACK IN THE THEATER SETTING FOR THE ONLY TIME ON THIS LEG, THE VENUE ALONE MAKES FOR A SPECIAL NIGHT, WITH A RESPECTFUL CROWD AND SPRINGSTEEN TAKING A MOMENT TO NOTE THE BEAUTY OF HIS SURROUNDINGS. SOME EARLY ELECTRIC PIANO HIGHLIGHTS: "BACK IN YOUR ARMS" OPENS, AND BRUCE BREAKS OUT THE TOUR PREMIERE OF THE RARELY PLAYED "COUNTY FAIR," A PERFECT SONG FOR LATE SUMMER. NOTHING FROM TUNNEL OF LOVE, BUT SPRINGSTEEN DELVES INTO BORN TO RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS TOUR, FOR A SONG THAT'S CLOSE TO OUR HEART: "BACKSTREETS" -- THE FIRST-EVER SOLO PERFORMANCE, ON PIANO, PLAYED BY REQUEST FOR BOBBY. THE STATESIDE DEBUT OF "LUCKY TOWN" FOLLOWS, AND A PARTICULARLY STRONG ENCORE, INCLUDING "CYNTHIA," "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY," AND A MOVING "DREAM BABY DREAM," ONE OF THE BEST THERE'S BEEN. SOUND IS GOOD+. DISC ONE: CLEAN. DISC TWO: BOTH HIGHWAY PATROLMAN AND RENO ARE OMITTED MAKING THIS AN INCOMPLETE RECORDING. DISC IS OTHERWISE CLEAN.

CASE 22 – AUGUST 7, 2005 MILWAUKEE, WI / BRADLEY CENTER 2 CDRS
NOTES: SINCE COLUMBUS, THE D&D SHOWS HAVE REALLY BEEN "ANYTHING GOES" AFFAIRS, AND TONIGHT WAS ANOTHER WILD ONE. OPENING WITH THE "BORN IN THE U.S.A." B-SIDE, "SHUT OUT THE LIGHT," A TOUR DEBUT ON PUMP ORGAN, THE STAGE WAS SET FOR A DARKER SHOW, BROODING AND INTENSE. CHECK THIS FOUR-SONG RUN: "BACK IN YOUR ARMS" INTO "AIN'T GOT YOU," "STATE TROOPER," AND "NEBRASKA." (ALL LEADING INTO "RENO"-- CALL IT THE "ISOLATION SUITE"?) THERE WAS ALSO THE RARE "POINT BLANK," "RACING IN THE STREET," "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN," AND (AS IN GRAND RAPIDS) A LINE CHANGE ON "LONG TIME COMIN'": "I HOPE I DON'T FUCK IT UP THIS TIME." FIVE SONGS FROM NEBRASKA IN ALL -- THAT'S HALF THE RECORD -- INCLUDING "OPEN ALL NIGHT" AND "MY FATHER'S HOUSE" (NOT PLAYED SINCE FATHER'S DAY). THE LOAD WAS LIGHTENED A BIT IN THE ENCORE, WITH A FUN GREETINGS DOUBLE-SHOT: "GROWIN' UP" AND "BUS STOP." THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, FROM DARK TO LIGHT, IT WAS A SOLID, PRACTICALLY FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE, WITH NONE OF THE MISCUES THAT SPRINGSTEEN TYPICALLY LAUGHS OFF. EVEN ON MILWAUKEE'S MOST JAW-DROPPING TOUR PREMIERE, AN ETHEREAL "FRANKIE" ON PIANO -- YOU MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED A FEW GOOFS, BUT BRUCE NAILED IT AS IF HE'D BEEN PLAYING THE SONG NIGHTLY. NICE BALANCE OF INSTRUMENTATION, TOO, WITH THREE SONGS ON THE ELECTRIC GUITAR ("AIN'T GOT YOU," "STATE TROOPER," AND "OPEN ALL NIGHT"). SO THE ENGINE'S WIDE OPEN AS BRUCE PULLS INTO THE FINAL STRETCH OF THIS LEG, WITH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SHOWS LATER IN THE WEEK.

CASE 22 – AUGUST 10, 2005 PORTLAND, OR / ROSEGARDEN THEATRE OF THE CLOUDS 2 CDR’S
KICKING OFF THE THREE-SHOW PACIFIC NORTHWEST RUN, SPRINGSTEEN SAID THAT HE'D BEEN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING OBSCURE EVERY NIGHT, AND WITH THAT HE SAT DOWN AT THE ELECTRIC PIANO FOR THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "SOUL DRIVER." LIKE "REAL WORLD," "SOUL DRIVER" WAS FIRST AIRED SOLO AT THE CHRISTIC SHOWS IN 1990, AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE HIM BRING THIS ONE BACK AS WELL. ANOTHER HUMAN TOUCH RARITY LATER IN THE SHOW WAS "I WISH I WERE BLIND," PLAYED BY REQUEST FOR A NORWEGIAN FAN. SPRINGSTEEN NOTED THE LOW REGARD FOR HUMAN TOUCH AMONG CRITICS, SAYING THAT WHENEVER HE READ ONE OF HIS DISCOGRAPHIES THAT ALBUM WAS ALWAYS "STAR-CHALLENGED".... "BUT IT'S CONSIDERED A MASTERPIECE IN NORWAY." A GUEST GUITAR TECH TONIGHT, NONE OTHER THAN EVAN SPRINGSTEEN, WHO BROUGHT OUT THE GUITAR FOR "LONG TIME COMIN'" AND TO WHOM BRUCE DEDICATED THE SONG (ALSO NOTING THAT HIS SON'S ONSTAGE APPEARANCE WOULD COST HIM A HUNDRED BUCKS). ADDRESSING THE CONSTANT QUESTION OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE THE BOSS, SPRINGSTEEN SAID, "THE QUESTION IS A PERENNIAL DILEMMA." HIS ANSWER? "AIN'T GOT YOU" -- INCLUDING THE RECENT LYRIC CHANGE, "PAID A KING'S RANSOM FOR DOIN' WHAT I'D DO FOR FREE." ALSO IN THE SET: "FRANKIE," "ONE STEP UP," "VALENTINE'S DAY," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," AND "WILD BILLY."

CASE 22 – AUGUST 11, 2005 SEATTLE, WA / KEY ARENA 2 CDR’S

THE SECOND OF THREE NW SHOWS, AND THE PENULTIMATE SHOW OF THIS SUMMER LEG. SEATTLE'S TOUR PREMIERE: THE GREAT "FADE AWAY" B-SIDE AND TUNNEL TOUR STAPLE, LATER ON TRACKS DISC 2, "BE TRUE" ON ELECTRIC PIANO. ALSO IN THE OBSCURITY COLUMN, BRUCE BROUGHT BACK TWO CINCY PREMIERES FOR THEIR SECOND PERFORMANCE: "LIVING PROOF" (PREVIOUSLY PLAYED ON 12-STRING, TONIGHT ON PUMP ORGAN TO OPEN) AND "TWO FOR THE ROAD." AS IN PORTLAND, SON EVAN WAS ON HAND TO BRING HIS POP A GUITAR FOR "LONG TIME COMIN'," WITH BRUCE TELLING THE CROWD, "IT COSTS ME A HUNDRED BUCKS EVERY TIME HE COMES OUT.... DON'T CLAP TOO MUCH, IT'LL COST ME 200 BUCKS." OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: "HIGHWAY 29," "FRANKIE" (FOR THE THIRD SHOW IN A ROW), "AIN'T GOT YOU," "NOTHING MAN," AND A GREETINGS TWO-FER IN THE ENCORE OF "GROWIN' UP" AND "FOR YOU," THE LATTER PLAYED ON GUITAR FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THIS TOUR.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 4, 2005 ASBURY PARK, NJ PARAMOUNT THEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: AFTER A SEVEN-WEEK BREAK FROM THE STAGE, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WAS BACK AT IT TUESDAY NIGHT, BACK IN ASBURY PARK, AND BACK TO HIS DEVILS & DUST TOUR BUSINESS, THIS TIME WITH A TWIST. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE SHOW WERE DONATED TO THE JERSEY COAST CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS, A NOD TO THE RECENT CATASTROPHIC EVENTS ALONG THE GULF COAST. WITH HIS HAIR SLICKED BACK, SPRINGSTEEN DRESSED CASUALLY IN A DENIM SHIRT AND THE SHOW HAD A WORKMAN-LIKE FEEL TO IT. OPENING WITH THE OBSCURE "IDIOT'S DELIGHT," A SONG HE CO-WROTE WITH JOE GRUSHECKY THAT APPEARS ON GRUSHECKY'S COMING HOME CD, SPRINGSTEEN OBSCURED IT EVEN MORE BY SINGING THE LYRICALLY TOPICAL TUNE INTO HIS "REASON TO BELIEVE" BULLET MICROPHONE. SPRINGSTEEN DID NOT ADDRESS THE CROWD TOO MUCH UNTIL THE CLOSING THIRD OF THE SHOW, WHEN HE TRIED TO GIVE SOME PROPS TO HIS ATTENDING MOM AND AUNTS. UNFORTUNATELY, EXCEPT FOR HUMOR'S SAKE, MOM WAS OFF TO THE LOUNGE AND MISSED HER NOD FROM THE STAGE. "SHE'S BEEN WAITING HER WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS!" BRUCE MUSED. SOME HIGHLIGHTS ALONG THE WAY INCLUDED A NEW VERSION OF "THE TIES THAT BIND" THAT HAD AN ORBISON-ESQUE FEEL, A ROCKABILLY-ED "AIN'T GOT YOU," THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "I WANNA MARRY YOU" (ON UKULELE!), AND A QUARTET OF SONGS -- "ATLANTIC CITY," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," "THE RISING," AND "LUCKY TOWN" -- THAT HAD ECHOES OF NEW ORLEANS REVERBERATING. SPRINGSTEEN SPOKE OF THE CRESCENT CITY AS "THE BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN MUSIC... IT'S ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THAT'S KEPT ITS DIRTINESS AND GRITTINESS AND SOUL... AND IT'S A REAL BIG PIECE OF WHO WE ARE." HE SPOKE FONDLY OF ALL THE GREAT STREET MUSICIANS THERE, AND HOPED OUT LOUD THAT WHEN IT IS REBUILT IT'S NOT "DISNEY-IZED." AMEN, BROTHER.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 6, 2005 ROCHESTER, NY BLUE CROSS ARENA 2 CDRS

NICELY WARMED UP WITH THAT ASBURY PARK BENEFIT TWO DAYS AGO, SPRINGSTEEN IS NOW BACK ON THE ROAD FOR THE FALL U.S. LEG. TWO SONGS THAT PREMIERED ON TUESDAY RETURNED TONIGHT IN ROCHESTER: "IDIOT'S DELIGHT" (IN THE STYLE OF "REASON TO BELIEVE") TO OPEN, AND THE NEW ARRANGEMENT OF "THE TIES THAT BIND." ALSO RETURNING WAS THE UKULELE, WHICH BRUCE PLAYED THIS TIME ON "GROWIN' UP." AND FOR THE SECOND SHOW IN A ROW, "GALVESTON BAY" TOOK THE PLACE OF "THE HITTER," WHICH HAD BEEN A NIGHTLY STAPLE UNTIL THIS LEG. OTHERWISE, BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL AS THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR CONTINUES -- AND AIN'T IT NICE THAT "BUSINESS AS USUAL" MEANS MORE TOUR PREMIERES? TONIGHT'S WAS "INDEPENDENCE DAY" ON THE PIANO, PRECEDED BY "MY FATHER'S HOUSE" AND "LONG TIME COMIN'" FOR A POWERFUL FATHERHOOD SUITE. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS WERE "REAL WORLD" AND "RACING IN THE STREET" BACK TO BACK, AND A NICE TRIO OF TUNNEL SONGS: "TWO FACES," "CAUTIOUS MAN," AND A GLIMPSE OF "WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE THE BOSS" WITH "AIN'T GOT YOU." "THE PROMISED LAND" WAS PLAYED FOR THE LATE HAROLD LEVENTHAL, WHO DIED ON TUESDAY AT THE AGE OF 86. A RENOWNED FOLK MUSIC CHAMPION, LEVENTHAL HAD AN ASTOUNDING CAREER (AND IMPACT) AS PROMOTER, PRODUCER, AND MANAGER, WORKING WITH WOODY GUTHRIE, PETE SEEGER, BOB DYLAN, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS; HE WAS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF A VISION SHARED: A TRIBUTE TO WOODY GUTHRIE AND LEADBELLY, FEATURING SPRINGSTEEN, IN 1988.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 7, 2005 / HARTFORD, CT / HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER 2 CDRS
NOTES: A RADICALLY DIFFERENT SHOW FROM ROCHESTER, WITH MORE THAN HALF THE SET CHANGING UP ON THESE BACK-TO-BACK NIGHTS. IN HARTFORD, SPRINGSTEEN PROMISED WITH A CHUCKLE TO ASSUAGE THE PAIN OF RED SOX FANS, AND HE DID SO WITH A 27-SONG SET, THE LONGEST YET. HE OPENED WITH TWO ON THE ELECTRIC PIANO, "BACK IN YOUR ARMS" AND "WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY"; BROKE OUT THE UKULELE AGAIN ON "I WANNA MARRY YOU"; REVISITED CLASSICS "INCIDENT" AND "LOST IN THE FLOOD" ON THE PIANO, BOTH TO TREMENDOUS OVATIONS; AND BROUGHT BACK "THE HITTER." KEEPING ON KEEPIN' ON WERE THOSE NEW ARRANGEMENTS DEBUTED ON THIS THIRD LEG, "THE TIES THAT BIND" (A KNOCK-OUT, ITS MELODY WHOLLY REWORKED) AND "IDIOT'S DELIGHT." AND THEN THERE WERE THE TOUR PREMIERES: A ROLLICKING "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)" ON THE PIANO, AND "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" ON GUITAR BY REQUEST. SPEAKING OF REQUESTS, A COUPLE OF THEM CAME FROM BRUCE HIMSELF: ONE HE STOPPED "THE PROMISED LAND" TO MAKE -- ASKING THE CROWD NOT TO CLAP ALONG, HE SAID HE'LL HANDLE HIS OWN PERCUSSION -- AND ONE THAT HE ASKED THE CROWD TO TAKE HOME WITH THEM. WITH THE STAGE RUSH HITTING DURING THE SOMBER "MATAMOROS BANKS" SET-CLOSER ONCE AGAIN, BRUCE ASKED FANS TO SPREAD THE WORD ON THE INTERNET, AS HIS FINGERS MIMED TYPING IN THE AIR, "PLEASE TELL EVERYONE TO STAY IN THEIR SEATS UNTIL THE SET IS OVER." SOUNDS GOOD TO US.

CASE 22 - CTOBER 9, 2005 UNIONDALE, NY NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM 2 CDR’S
NOTES: "GOOD TO BE BACK AT THE NASSAU COLISEUM," BRUCE SAID, BACK IN THE BUILDING THAT WAS HOME TO HIS MARATHON NEW YEARS 1980 SHOW, A VENUE HE HASN'T PLAYED SINCE 1992. HE TOUCHED ON THE COMMON BOND BETWEEN NEW JERSEY AND LONG ISLAND, LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF NYC: "THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME TRAGIC COIN... YOU SCRATCH A LONG ISLANDER, AND THERE'S A NEW JERSEYAN UNDER THERE." AS THE YANKEES FOUGHT IT OUT IN THE PLAYOFFS -- SURELY, ALONG WITH THE RAIN, ACCOUNTING FOR THE SURPRISING NUMBER OF EMPTY SEATS -- NEW JERSEY'S FAVORITE SON PLAYED HIS NINTH SHOW AT THIS LONG ISLAND VENUE. AND IT WAS ONLY THE TENTH SHOW ON THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR WITHOUT A TOUR PREMIERE. BUT A NICELY VARIED SET -- THE FIRST NINE SONGS CAME FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT ALBUMS -- WITH HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDING "STOLEN CAR" TO OPEN, "LIVING PROOF" ON THE PUMP ORGAN, "TWO FACES," AND A SMOKING "AIN'T GOT YOU." "LOST IN THE FLOOD" STAYED IN THE SET, A SONG THAT SURELY CAN'T BE HEARD THE SAME WAY POST-KATRINA. AND BRUCE BROUGHT THE "REASON TO BELIEVE"-STYLE "JOHNNY 99" BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE VERY EARLY IN THE TOUR, MAKING FOR TWO BULLET-MIC SONGS TONIGHT (ALONG WITH "IDIOT'S DELIGHT"). REVISITING "I WANNA MARRY YOU" ON THE UKULELE, BRUCE TEASED THAT HE'S BEEN "WORKING UP A MEAN VERSION OF 'MAN'S JOB'" ON THE INSTRUMENT. HEY, BRING IT ON! UNLESS, WAITASEC, HE DIDN'T SAY "REAL MAN," DID HE? 'CUZ, NOT TO SEEM UNAPPRECIATIVE, BUT MAYBE WE DON'T NEED THAT MANY TOUR PREMIERES....

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 13, 2005 CHICAGO, IL / UNITED CENTER 2 CDRS
NOTES: RETURNING TO CHI-TOWN, HOME OF THE ULTIMATE D&D DEBUT ("DREAM BABY DREAM" ON 5/11), SPRINGSTEEN OFFERED NO TOUR PREMIERES THE SECOND TIME AROUND. BUT IT WAS A SOLID SHOW, STARTING LATE (AT 8:30) BUT WORTH THE WAIT, A STEP UP FROM LAST NIGHT'S PERFORMANCE IN MINNEAPOLIS DESPITE THE LARGER VENUE TONIGHT. BRUCE WAS INTO IT -- ESPECIALLY ON "THIS HARD LAND," WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL VOCAL. AND EVEN WHEN HIS VOCAL WASN'T EXCEPTIONAL, HE WAS HAVING FUN: HE LAUGHED AS HE HAD TO SING LINES IN "ALL I'M THINKIN' ABOUT" MULTIPLE TIMES TO HIT THEM, AND GOT MUCH APPLAUSE AT SONG'S END FOR THE EFFORT. MENTIONING AGAIN THAT THE LINE IN "LONG TIME COMIN'" SHOULD HAVE BEEN "AIN'T GONNA FUCK IT UP TOO BAD THIS TIME" BUT IT WOULDN'T FIT, HE ADDED THAT IF THE SONG HAD BEEN ON HIS FIRST ALBUM HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL THE WORDS IN. OTHER NOTABLES: "I WISH I WERE BLIND," BOTH "STATE TROOPER AND "HIGHWAY PATROLMAN," "WHEN YOU'RE ALONE," AND THE ALWAYS-WELCOME "RACING IN THE STREET" ON PIANO. ON THE UNUSUAL-INSTRUMENT FRONT, "NEW TIMER" ON AUTOHARP TOOK THE "HITTER" SLOT ONCE AGAIN, AND "GROWIN' UP" ON UKULELE OPENED THE ENCORE. AND THE STAGE RUSH WATCH: THERE WAS A STAGE RUSH TONIGHT, NOT STOPPED BY SECURITY; RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE KIBOSH ON THE RUSH IN MINNEAPOLIS LAST NIGHT WAS JUST A LOCAL SECURITY SNAFU. BUT WE'RE BETTING THE WHOLE WAIT-UNTIL-THE-ENCORE-TO-MOVE THING STILL STANDS.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 15, 2005 / MADISON, WI / DANE COUNTY ARENA AT ALLIANT ENERGY CENTER 2 CDRS
NOTES: A YEAR AFTER APPEARING AT A FRESH START FOR AMERICA RALLY IN MADISON, SPRINGSTEEN RETURNED TO PLAY HIS FIRST ACTUAL CONCERT THERE IN NEARLY 25 YEARS, SINCE 2/2/81. AND FOR THE OCCASION, HE OFFERED FLASHBACKS TO HIS YOUNGER DAYS, WITH A LOT OF EARLY MATERIAL INCLUDING "INCIDENT," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," AND AN ENCORE TRIFECTA OF "GROWIN' UP," "WILD BILLY," AND "BLINDED." AS FOR LATER MATERIAL, BRUCE PULLED OUT RARITIES LIKE "VALENTINE'S DAY," "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS," AND "ACROSS THE BORDER," PLAYED FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME THIS TOUR (THIS TIME ON THE PUMP ORGAN). HE ENGAGED THE CROWD QUITE A BIT, MAKING A FEW JOKES ABOUT THE VIKINGS SEX PARTY THAT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS (AND APPARENTLY HE WAS TOO KIND TO THE VIKINGS, INSPIRING SOME BOOS HERE IN PACKERS COUNTRY), AND APOLOGIZING FOR HAVING TAKEN SO LONG TO PLAY MADISON AGAIN. HE EVEN PROMISED TO COME BACK WITH THE E STREET BAND. "WHEN? IF I KNEW, I WOULDN'T BE ME."

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 20, 2005 / WORCESTER, MA / DCU CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: A LOOSE BRUCE AND A RAMBUNCTIOUS CROWD IN WORCESTER -- MOSTLY THAT MEANT THAT THEY WERE JUST INTO IT, AS ON THE VERY WELL RECEIVED "BRILLIANT DISGUSE," HERE IN THE TOWN WHERE THE TUNNEL TOUR KICKED OFF BACK IN '88. BUT BRUCE DID HAVE TO ASK (RELATIVELY) NICELY TO COOL IT WITH THE CLAPPING: "YOU'RE DRIVING ME FUCKING NUTS!" A HUGE HIGHLIGHT WAS AN 18 TRACKS SPECIAL TWO-FER, "THE FEVER" RIGHT INTO "THE PROMISE," BOTH AT THE KEYS. WHILE THE LATTER HAD COME OUT ALREADY THIS SUMMER, "THE FEVER" ON ELECTRIC PIANO WAS A TOUR DEBUT. "ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING SONGS FANS ALWAYS REQUEST," SPRINGSTEEN CALLED IT LAUGHINGLY DURING THE INTRO, BUT THE SEARING, SULTRY PERFORMANCE SHOWED THAT HE COULD STILL GET BEHIND IT. "TO SOUTHSIDE, WHEREVER YOU ARE!" HE CALLED OUT AT THE END. A PARTICULARLY DRIVING "LOST IN THE FLOOD" WAS ANOTHER NOTABLE. MORE RARITIES: "SINALOA COWBOYS," FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME ON THE TOUR; "I'M ON FIRE" ON THE BANJO, LAST PLAYED IN ATLANTA; AND THAT "BRILLIANT DISGUISE," LAST PLAYED IN TORONTO. AND IN THE ENCORE, BRUCE KNEW THIS WAS A GOOD NIGHT FOR AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION, BREAKING OUT "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY": "OKAY, NOW YOU CAN HELP ME OUT!"

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 21, 2005 / PROVIDENCE, RI / DUNKIN' DONUTS CENTER 2 CDR’S
NOTES: AT TIMES, IT FELT LIKE THE PROVIDENCE SHOW TIME-WARPED BACK A FEW MONTHS -- "LEAH" RETURNED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS LEG, ALONG WITH OTHER EARLY-TOUR STAPLES LIKE "FOR YOU," "THE RIVER," AND "PART MAN PART MONKEY." SPRINGSTEEN REVISITED A LOT OF HIS EARLY STORIES AS WELL, AND THERE WAS NO ELECTRIC PIANO TONIGHT, WITH SIX SONGS ALL ON THE GRAND. BUT BY THE END OF THE SET WE WERE BACK IN OCTOBER, WITH "THE NEW TIMER" ON AUTOHARP AND "GROWIN' UP" ON UKULELE; SPRINGSTEEN EVEN REMARKED, "I'M PLAYING A LOT OF GIZMOS TONIGHT -- I'M GONNA BE READY FOR TED MACK'S AMATEUR HOUR!" ANOTHER NICE BIT OF BANTER WAS ABOUT GROWING UP CATHOLIC: "IT'S A RELIGION OF BEAUTY, POETRY, AND HIDEOUS TERROR." "VALENTINE'S DAY" INTO "REAL WORLD" WAS A "DOUBLE-HEADER DEDICATION" AT THE PIANO FOR KATE LANDAU, AND "JON, HER DADDY," REFERENCED IN THE FIRST SONG'S LYRIC, "A FRIEND OF MINE BECAME A FATHER LAST NIGHT." ALSO ON PIANO WAS A NEW ORLEANS-STYLE "YOU CAN LOOK," WITH BRUCE JOKING ABOUT HIS LIMITED SKILLS. NOT ON PIANO WAS "ATLANTIC CITY" -- PLAYED ONLY ONCE PREVIOUSLY ON THE KEYS, OFFERED UP TONIGHT ON GUITAR AND HARMONICA IN THE ENCORE.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 28, 2005 / BOSTON, MA / T.D. BANKNORTH GARDEN

THE FIRST OF TWO BOSTON SHOWS, WHERE ENTERING THE BUILDING WAS CONSENT "TO HAVE YOUR IMAGE USED BY THRILL HILL PRODUCTIONS." YES, AS RUMORED, CAMERAS WERE ROLLING TO CAPTURE THIS DEVILS & DUST SHOW FOR THE AGES, LIKELY THE REASON THE TOUR HAS BEEN A BIT MORE "STANDARD" OF LATE (THIS SET WAS NOTABLY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS SHOW IN RICHMOND). RATHER THAN AN END-STAGE, THE VENUE WAS SET UP LENGTHWISE; EXTRA CAMERAS COULD BE SEEN BEHIND BOTH THE PIANO AND THE PUMP ORGAN. JUDGING BY THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST, THIS SHOW WAS PLANNED AS EVEN MORE OF A MODEL A SET, BUT BRUCE SHOOK THINGS UP A BIT BY CALLING A COUPLE AUDIBLES: "AIN'T GOT YOU" INSTEAD OF "ALL THE WAY HOME," AND "LUCKY TOWN" IN FOR "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)." AND THERE WAS SOME CURVEBALL BANTER AS WELL, BRUCE RIBBING THE BOSTON CROWD FOR THE OTHER SOX SERIES WIN, AND SETTING THE SCENE FOR "GROWIN' UP": "THERE I WAS -- I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I WAS IN ATLANTIC CITY, IN THE PENTHOUSE OF THE TRUMP PLAZA, WITH TWO HOOKERS AND A UKULELE...." "ALL THAT HEAVEN WILL ALLOW" WAS DEDICATED TO LONGTIME FAN OBIE; "MATAMOROS BANKS" TO THE BOSTON GLOBE'S STAN GROSSFELD.

CASE 22 - OCTOBER 30, 2005 / BOSTON, MA / T.D. BANKNORTH GARDEN
NOTES: WITH CAMERAS STILL ROLLING, TAKE TWO IN BOSTON WAS WILDLY DIFFERENT, A 27-SONG SET WITH ONLY TEN SONGS REPEATED FROM FRIDAY NIGHT. WHILE NOT NECESSARILY A "BETTER" SETLIST, THE SECOND TIME WAS THE CHARM IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE, WITH A HIGH INTENSITY LEVEL (SEE "REASON TO BELIEVE") AND SENSE OF PURPOSE: BRUCE WAS ON A MISSION. WHO KNOWS IF/WHEN/HOW WE'LL SEE THE RESULTS FROM THIS WEEKEND, BUT FROM JUST THIS NIGHT ALONE WE'RE DROOLING FOR LIVE FILM OF "CAUTIOUS MAN," "REAL WORLD" PIANO, "OPEN ALL NIGHT," AND A REAL NICE "FURTHER." "BLACK COWBOYS" WAS DEDICATED TO ROBERT COLES ("IF HE'S STILL HERE... WE WENT TO THE STRIP CLUB EARLIER TODAY AND WERE DRINKING ALL THAT JACK DANIELS..."); BRUCE GAVE THE NOD TO OTHER LOCAL OLD-TIMERS BY DEDICATING "LOST IN THE FLOOD" TO ANYONE WHO WAS AT PAUL'S MALL BACK IN THE DAY. IN A HILARIOUS BIT, HE ALSO EXPANDED ON HIS "LOVE SONGS" RAP: "THE QUESTION ALL LOVE SONGS ASK IS, 'WILL YOU PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN?'" AND BY EXAMPLE, HE RIFFED: "IT'S A TOWN FULL OF LOSERS, WE'RE PULLING OUT OF HERE TO WIN... AND WILL YOU PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN?" "TRAMPS LIKE US, BABY WE WERE BORN TO RUN... AND WILL YOU PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN?" BRUCE ADDED A DOBRO TO THE BULLET MIC READING OF "JOHNNY 99" TO GREAT EFFECT, BUT THE BIGGEST MUSICAL SHAKE-UP OF THE NIGHT CAME WHEN, AFTER "THE PROMISED LAND," HE ASKED TECH KEVIN BUELL FOR A B-FLAT HARP. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE "PROMISED LAND"/"DREAM BABY DREAM" CLOSING PAIR WAS INSEPARABLE, BRUCE INSERTED AN IMPROMPTU COVER OF THE STANDELLS' "DIRTY WATER." ASIDE FROM HARMONICA BLASTS BETWEEN VERSES IT WAS AN A CAPELLA SERENADE, A LOVE SONG TO A TOWN WE CAN ONLY HOPE IS THE SETTING OF HIS NEXT CONCERT DVD. OH, BOSTON, YOU'RE MY HOME... AND WILL YOU PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN?

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 8, 2005 PHILADELPHIA, PA WACHOVIA CENTER

A TOUR DEBUT FIRST THING, "BORN IN THE U.S.A" OPENED THE FIRST OF TWO SPECTRUM SHOWS ON BULLET MIC, A LA "REASON TO BELIEVE." NICE CALL -- HEY, IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS, HOW CAN YOU MISINTERPRET THEM? BUT THE CONCERT'S SECOND TOUR PREMIERE WAS THE TAKE-HOME MOMENT OF THE NIGHT. EARLIER TODAY A FRIEND SAID TO ME, "YEAH, I KNOW IT'S PHILLY, BUT WHAT SURPRISES ARE LEFT?" WELL... HOW ABOUT A SONG THAT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED IN NEARLY 25 YEARS? SPRINGSTEEN BROUGHT BACK "DRIVE ALL NIGHT," WHICH HADN'T BEEN HEARD IN CONCERT SINCE THE EUROPEAN LEG OF THE RIVER TOUR (6/7/81) -- AND OF COURSE NEVER ON SOLO PIANO. THIS ONE WAS "SPECIAL FOR PHILADELPHIA," AND IT WAS BREATHTAKING. (CAN "THE PRICE YOU PAY," LAST PLAYED 5/27/81, BE FAR BEHIND?) (PROBABLY. BUT HERE'S HOPING ANYWAY.) THOUGH MUCH MORE RECENTLY PLAYED, MORE VERY WELCOME RETURNS FROM THE RIVER WERE "THE TIES THAT BIND," "FADE AWAY" AND ITS B-SIDE, "BE TRUE." PLUS, "HIGHWAY 29," "ATLANTIC CITY" ON GUITAR, AND "OPEN ALL NIGHT" IN THE ENCORE. LIKE TAMPA, ANOTHER WILD SHOW.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 9, 2005 PHILADELPHIA, PA WACHOVIA CENTER

IF YOU THOUGHT THE 24-YEAR GAP BETWEEN PERFORMANCES OF "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" WAS SOMETHING, DIG WHAT BRUCE BROKE OUT FOR THE OLD-TIMERS AT PHILLY NIGHT 2: "SANTA ANA," LAST PLAYED LIVE MORE THAN 32 YEARS AGO IN THE SPRING OF '73. WHILE MUCH OF THE CROWD WAS SURELY STILL SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS OVER THAT ONE, BRUCE REALLY RATTLED THEIR BRAINS BY STAYED AT THE PIANO AND GOING RIGHT INTO "THUNDERCRACK," COMPLETE WITH A SING-ALONG AT THE END. BOTH OF THESE EARLY GEMS WERE RELEASED ON TRACKS DISC ONE, AND BOTH WERE TOUR PREMIERES TONIGHT. ALSO MAKING ITS OFFICIAL TOUR DEBUT WAS "USED CARS," LAST PLAYED AT THE ASBURY WARM-UP BACK IN APRIL. PLUS THE TOUR'S SECOND "INDEPENDENCE DAY"; RARE VISITS FROM "ADAM," "JANEY," AND "CYNTHIA"; AND A "DREAM BABY DREAM" THAT CLOCKED IN AT TEN MINUTES. A WHOPPING 17 SONGS NOT PLAYED AT THE FIRST SHOW MAKES A TOTAL OF 41 DIFFERENT SONGS PLAYED AT THIS TWO-NIGHT PHILLY STAND.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 11, 2005 NORFOLK, VA CONSTANT CONVOCATION CENTER AT OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY

SPRINGSTEEN'S VETERANS DAY SHOW BEGAN, APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, WITH "BORN IN THE U.S.A." (ON THE BULLET MIC, AS DEBUTED ON 11/8 IN PHILLY). THAT WASN'T HIS ONLY NOD TO THE OCCASION AS, A FEW SONGS LATER, BRUCE DELIVERED A PERFECTLY FITTING SURPRISE: "THE WALL," PREVIOUSLY PLAYED ONLY AT THE DOUBLETAKE BENEFIT SHOWS IN 2003. HE INTRODUCED IT AS A SONG HE WROTE FOR AN OLD FRIEND FROM FREEHOLD, A MEMBER OF THE MOTIFS WHO DIED IN VIETNAM; IT'S SET AT THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON DC, WHERE THE SINGER COMES TO PAY HIS ANNUAL RESPECTS: "THIS BLACK STONE AND THESE HARD TEARS / ARE ALL I'VE GOT LEFT NOW OF YOU." STILL, THIS WAS AN F-U-N FUN SHOW, WITH A GREAT, RESPECTFUL CROWD AND A LAID-BACK BRUCE... TWO LAID-BACK BRUCES, IN FACT. AS SPRINGSTEEN TICKLED THE IVORIES ON "YOU CAN LOOK," AN UNIMPRESSED BRUCE HORNSBY AMBLED OUT ONSTAGE READING THE NEWSPAPER. "YOU BETTER BE READING THE WANT ADS, HORNSBY," SPRINGSTEEN CRIED, "I'M HERE FOR YOUR JOB!" THE TWO BRUCES SWITCHED OFF ON THE GRAND PIANO, IN PROBABLY THE FUNNIEST BIT OF THE TOUR. AT THE VERY END OF THE MAIN SET, HORNSBY WAS BACK FOR A BEAUTIFUL DUET ON "ACROSS THE BORDER" -- HANDLING PUMP ORGAN AND THEN SWITCHING TO THE GRAND AS SPRINGSTEEN HELD DOWN GUITAR AND HARP -- THE FIRST TIME "MATAMOROS BANKS" HAS GONE UNPLAYED. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: THE RARE AND HAIR-RAISING "DOWNBOUND TRAIN" ON PUMP ORGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET; THE RETURN OF THE VISUAL AID FROM PHILLY (A MAP PROVIDED BY FAN PATTY PAPPOS) FOR THE GUIDED TOUR OF SPRINGSTEEN'S OLD NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE "JESUS"; "POINT BLANK" AND "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" AT THE KEYS; AND AN AUDIBLE OF "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT" IN THE ENCORE. A FANTASTIC VETERANS DAY SHOW ALL AROUND, STRIKING JUST THAT RIGHT BALANCE OF DARK AND LIGHT.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 13, 2005 ATLANTIC CITY, NJ ATLANTIC CITY BOARDWALK HALL

WELL, YOU'D BE A SUCKER IF YOU DIDN'T BET ON "ATLANTIC CITY" TO BE PLAYED AT THE ATLANTIC CITY SHOW. BUT THERE WOULD BE CONSIDERABLY LONGER ODDS ON THE REST OF THIS STRONG SETLIST. LIKE THE RETURNING POCKET ROCKETS, "SANTA ANA" AND "THUNDERCRACK" -- NOT JUST PHILLY-ONLY SPECIALS AFTER ALL -- THAT'S SOME GOOD ACTION. YES, RETURNING TO BOARDWALK HALL TO PLAY A.C. FOR JUST THE SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER, SPRINGSTEEN CHOSE TO DEAL OUT SOME OF THE "GREATEST HITS" FROM THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF THE TOUR, WITH TONIGHT'S RAILBIRDS CATCHING "FADE AWAY," "DRIVE ALL NIGHT," "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART," "LOST IN THE FLOOD," AND "SANDY." JACKPOT, BABY! BRUCE ALSO BROUGHT BACK AN OVERPAIR OF UNDERPLAYED SONGS: "MARIA'S BED" (THE LOCK OF THE NIGHT) WITH A "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" KICKER. WE CAN'T SAY THIS SHOW WAS THE NUTS, AS SPRINGSTEEN SEEMED TO BE (LITERALLY) SLOW-PLAYING HIS HAND AND NEVER QUITE WENT ALL-IN. BUT WITH A SETLIST LIKE THAT, NO ONE COULD CALL IT A FLOP.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 16, 2005 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA

WE'VE ALL GOT BORN TO RUN ON THE BRAIN THIS WEEK, AND TONIGHT -- THE FIRST SHOW SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY BOX -- BRUCE WAS RIGHT THERE TOO, TREATING THE CROWD TO OUR NAMESAKE, "BACKSTREETS." HE DEDICATED THE SONG, WITH A "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY," TO JON LANDAU. IT WAS ONLY THE THIRD TIME A BORN TO RUN SONG HAS BEEN PLAYED ON THIS TOUR, FOLLOWING "THUNDER ROAD" ON 10/12 AND THE DEBUT OF "BACKSTREETS" ON 8/6. PLUS, THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE OF "THE WALL," THE FIRST-EVER "DOES THIS BUS STOP" ON UKULELE, AND, AS IN ATLANTIC CITY, BRUCE KEPT "SANTA ANA" IN THE MAIN SET AND "THUNDERCRACK" IN THE ENCORE. ALSO AS IN ATLANTIC CITY, HOWEVER, HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH A BAD COLD, AND IT CLEARLY AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE. SOME NOTES WERE TOUGH TO HIT TONIGHT, AND HE CALLED OUT FOR SOME HOT TEA... BUT THE SHOW WENT ON, AS IT MUST, AND COLD OR NO, THE "ONE STEP UP" FALESTTO WAS AMAZING. HE DIDN'T LET THE RETURN TO THE MEADOWLANDS PASS WITHOUT A MENTION OF HIS PREVIOUS VISIT BACK ON 5/19: "LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I CURSED OUT A WHOLE SECTION THAT WAS JUST TRYING TO TELL ME ABOUT AN EQUIPMENT PROBLEM. AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS... DON'T FUCK WITH ME, OR I'LL DO IT AGAIN." GOOD TO SEE THE SENSE OF HUMOR INTACT -- "KIDDING ON THE SQUARE" OR NOT -- AND GET WELL SOON.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 17, 2005 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA

THE SECOND OF TWO IN A ROW AT THE MEADOWLANDS, AND THE BORN TO RUN CELEBRATION CONTINUES. AFTER BRINGING OUT "BACKSTREETS" LAST NIGHT, TONIGHT SPRINGSTEEN RETURNED TO THE 1975 CLASSIC FOR A PAIR OF PREMIERES: THE FIRST-EVER SOLO PIANO "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER," AND AN ENCORE OF "BORN TO RUN" ON GUITAR AND HARP. HE SENT "BORN TO RUN" OUT TO DON IENNER AND COLUMBIA RECORDS, AND BY THAT POINT IT WAS PRACTICALLY LIKE A CASEY KASEM SHOW WITH ALL THE DEDICATIONS. BUT WHEN THEY'RE ATTACHED TO RARITIES LIKE THESE, WHO'S COMPLAINING? "TWO FOR THE ROAD" WENT OUT TO SCOTT GREENSTEIN AND SIRIUS ("EVERY ARTIST'S DREAM -- YOU TURN ON THE RADIO, AND ALL YOU HEAR IS YOURSELF"; "USED CARS" TO BRUCE'S DAD; "FRANKIE" TO A FATHER AND SON FROM HOLLAND; "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" BY REQUEST FROM JOHN TO MARIA (SHE GOT HER "BED" SONG, TOO; CONGRATS, YA LOVEBIRDS). AND THEN THERE WAS "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" -- NO NEED FOR A LONG-DISTANCE DEDICATION THERE, AS PATTI SCIALFA CAME OUT FOR AN UP-CLOSE-AND-PERSONAL DUET. (WHILE PATTI ALSO HELPED WITH THIS ONE AT VH1 STORYTELLERS, AND SHE AND BRUCE JOINED U2 LAST MONTH, THIS WAS HER FIRST GUEST SPOT OF THE D&D TOUR.) WHAT'S MORE, THE STELLAR SETLIST WAS MATCHED BY THE PERFORMANCE -- SO AS FOR THAT COLD, SPRINGSTEEN MUST HAVE SWEAT IT OUT IN THE DAY, BECAUSE TONIGHT HE WAS RIDING THROUGH MANSIONS OF GLORY. OR AT LEAST LOOSER, MORE RELAXED, AND IN GREAT VOICE.

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 19, 2005 HOLLYWOOD, FL SEMINOLE HARD ROCK LIVE

THIS MAKE-UP SHOW, POSTPONED AND RELOCATED DUE TO HURRICANE WILMA, GAVE FLORIDA CONCERTGOERS A SPECIAL TREAT TO MAKE UP FOR THE WAIT AS BRUCE WAS JOINED BY NOT ONE BUT TWO E STREETERS. SO FAR ON THE TOUR, NILS LOFGREN AND PATTI SCIALFA HAD PITCHED IN; FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT SHOW, STEVE VAN ZANDT AND LOCAL HERO CLARENCE CLEMONS GUESTED, IN BOTH THE MAIN SET AND THE ENCORE. THEY CAME OUT FIRST FOR "DRIVE ALL NIGHT," ADDING TEXTURE FOR THE MUSICAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT, WITH STEVE PICKING ON A SIX-STRING ACOUSTIC AND THE BIG MAN NAILING THE SAX PART ON A STOOL AT CENTER STAGE. STEVE CAME BACK FOR "TWO HEARTS," JOINING BRUCE ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND VOCALS, AND THEY BOTH RETURNED FOR ANOTHER TRIO ON "THUNDERCRACK" IN THE ENCORE. THIS NEW VENUE -- A NARROW, 6,000 SEAT HALL -- HAD POTENTIAL FOR A REALLY INTIMATE SHOW, BUT A NOISY CROWD NEVER QUITE SETTLED DOWN, DESPITE BRUCE'S ADMONITION EARLY ON: "I CAN GET ALONG WITHOUT BEING CHEERED DURING THE SONG -- I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE." COULD'VE BEEN THE FACT THAT THE HALL WAS PART OF A CASNIO COMPLEX -- WHICH WASN'T ALL BAD, AS IT INSPIRED AN AUDIBLE OF "ROLL OF THE DICE," A TOUR PREMIERE. "LUCKY TOWN" WAS THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE, "FADE AWAY" AND "MEETING" RETURNED, AND "SANTA ANA" WAS DEDICATED TO "ALL OF YOU OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVES."

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 21, 2005 TRENTON, NJ SOVEREIGN BANK ARENA

RIDING ON A WET NIGHT INTO THE HOMESTRETCH, THE PENULTIMATE NIGHT OF THE TOUR WAS A POWERFUL SHOW WITH A POWERFUL OPENER. SPRINGSTEEN EMERGED WITH HIS ELECTRIC GUITAR AND SAID, "THIS IS FOR LINK WRAY"; NEWS OF THE GUITAR GREAT'S DEATH EARLIER THIS MONTH HAS JUST COME OUT IN RECENT DAYS. BRUCE WENT INTO A BLISTERING, FOOT-STOMPING VERSION OF "RUMBLE," WRAY'S 1958 CLASSIC AND ONE OF THE GREAT ROCK INSTRUMENTALS OF ALL TIME. ENDING THE SONG, BRUCE LEFT THE GUITAR SHRIEKING WITH FEEDBACK ON ITS STAND AS HE TRANSITIONED OVER TO THE BULLET MIC "BORN IN THE U.S.A." ANOTHER SURPRISE (TO SAY THE LEAST) TOUR PREMIERE CAME AT THE END OF THE SET, IN THE "HITTER"/"NEW TIMER" SLOT, AS BRUCE INTRODUCED "AN OUTTAKE FROM GREETINGS... NEVER RELEASED... SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA KNOW THIS BASTARD! THOUGH SOME OF YOU MAY...." IT WAS THE LONG-LOST "SONG FOR ORPHANS," NOT PLAYED SINCE 1973. TO TOP IT OFF, HE BROUGHT OUT "THE MYSTERIOUS MR. FITZ!" FOR HIS "STAGE DEBUT" -- THAT'S ALAN FITZGERALD, BRUCE'S KEYBOARD TECH WHO HAS SUPPLEMENTED SONGS FROM OFF-STAGE THROUGHOUT THE TOUR, FINALLY GETTING THE SPOTLIGHT AS HE ACCOMPANIED BRUCE ON GRAND PIANO FOR "ORPHANS." THE WHOLE THING GOT A STANDING OVATION. APPROPRIATELY FOR TRENTON, WHERE BRUCE HADN'T PLAYED SINCE THE EARLY '70S, THIS SONG WAS ONE OF FIVE PLAYED TONIGHT FROM 1973 OR EARLIER, ALONG WITH "SANTA ANA," "THUNDERCRACK," "BUS STOP," AND "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY." AND "SAINT" WAS A WILD NEW ARRANGMENT, A DYLANESQUE BLUES VERSION SUNG THROUGH THE BULLET MIC. STEPPING FORWARD A COUPLE YEARS, HE ALSO OFFERED "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" AS A "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY" MOMENT, WHICH RECEIVED A STANDING-O AS WELL. BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE AN AFFICIANADO OF BEARDED BRUCE TO ENJOY TONIGHT'S SHOW -- THERE WAS PLENTY FOR NEBRASKANS ("ATLANTIC CITY," "STATE TROOPER" INTO "NEBRASKA") AND TUNNELERS ("ONE STEP UP," A VERY STRONG "SPARE PARTS," AND B-SIDE "TWO FOR THE ROAD"). "TWO FOR THE ROAD" WAS AN AUDIBLE DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO HAD TRAVELLED TO FOLLOW THE TOUR, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM EUROPE: "THAT'S A HELL OF A HAUL! THIS IS FOR YOU, GODDAMMIT -- I CAN'T GET OFF MY COUCH TO GO TO ASBURY PARK!" ANOTHER AUDIBLE WAS "FADE AWAY" WHICH, ALONG WITH ITS RIVER-MATE "DRIVE ALL NIGHT," HAD STRONG, STRONG VOCALS ON DISPLAY TONIGHT. BRUCE APPEARED TO BE FEELING GOOD, PLAYING HARD, AND ENJOYING HIMSELF AS THE TOUR NEARS ITS END, TELLING THE CROWD BEFORE "MATAMOROS BANKS": "I'LL TAKE THIS MOMENT TO THANK THE GREAT AUDIENCES I'VE HAD ON THIS TOUR... I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OUT OF IT, I HOPE YOU HAVE TOO."

CASE 22 - NOVEMBER 22, 2005 TRENTON, NJ SOVEREIGN BANK ARENA

AFTER A REMARKABLE SEVEN MONTHS, A TOUR WHICH WAS IN MANY WAYS A FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE OF THE 1990 CHRISTIC INSTITUTE BENEFIT SHOWS, WE FOUND OURSELVES TONIGHT AT THE LAST DANCE (THE DONNA SUMMER SONG EVEN PLAYED OVER THE P.A. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT DOWN.) LIKE OTHER SPRINGSTEEN TOUR-CLOSERS OF RECENT YEARS, IT WAS A SOMEWHAT MEANDERING SHOW; AND IT WAS SURPRISINGLY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, INCLUDING THE OPENING LINK WRAY TRIBUTE, "RUMBLE," THE NEW ARRANGEMENT OF "SAINT IN THE CITY," AND "SONG FOR ORPHANS" WITH ALAN FITZGERALD, "THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN," RETURNING ON THE KEYS. BUT WHEN THIS SHOW DIVERGED, IT DIVERGED: GOTTA LOVE FOUR TOUR PREMIERES AT A TOUR FINALE. THE FIRST CAME AS BRUCE SAT DOWN AT THE PIANO FOR THE FIRST TIME: "I'M GONNA PLAY SOMETHING TONIGHT I'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE. CAN'T LET THE NIGHT PASS WITHOUT ONE OF THOSE!" AND WHILE BRUCE HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED "ZERO AND BLIND TERRY" BEFORE, BACK IN '73 AND '74 WITH THE E STREET BAND, THIS TRACKS TUNE WAS NEAR THE TOP OF THE SNOWBALL'S-CHANCE-IN-HELL LIST UNTIL TONIGHT. (EVEN BETTER, IT WENT RIGHT INTO A MAGNIFICENT "BACKSTREETS," ALSO AT THE GRAND, THE ONLY AUDIBLE OF THE NIGHT.) #2 WAS "FIRE," A STRIPPED-DOWN, PLAYFUL PERFORMANCE ON THE HARP AND BULLET MIC THAT WAS ALSO A NOD TO THE LATE, GREAT WRAY (HE AND ROBERT GORDON COVERED THE SPRINGSTEEN TUNE ON 1978'S FRESH FISH SPECIAL). FOR #3, BRUCE BROUGHT OUT HIS "WAY BETTER HALF," PATTI SCIALFA, FOR A DUET ON "MANSION ON THE HILL." (WITH THAT PERFORMANCE, JUST SQUEAKING IN UNDER THE WIRE, BRUCE HAS PLAYED EVERY SONG FROM NEBRASKA ON THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR.) AND FOR #4, IT WAS THE REAL "ATTACK OF THE RELATIVES," AS PATTI CAME BACK ONSTAGE ALONG WITH ABOUT 15 MORE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS FOR "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN." THEIR KIDS WERE PART OF THE THRONG, SAM SITTING ON THE PIANO BENCH NEXT TO HIS DAD, AS EVERYONE SHOOK TAMBOURINES, JINGLED BELLS, AND SANG ALONG FOR THIS OFFICIAL START OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON. BRUCE HAD NOTED THE KIDS' PRESENCE IN THE CROWD EARLIER IN THE SHOW, AS HE INTRODUCED "LONG TIME COMIN'": "I GOT MY BABIES IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT, SO I'LL SEND THIS OUT TO EVAN, JESSIE, AND SAM... DADDY'S COMING HOME!" (HE LATER DEDICATED "THE PROMISED LAND" TO EVAN, AND "DREAM BABY DREAM" TO JESS.) BRUCE HAD SEVERAL MORE SHOUT-OUTS BEFORE THIS LAST DANCE WAS THROUGH, THANKING "EVERYONE FOR GIVING ME A GOOD YEAR," THANKING ALL OF THE TOUR CREW (EVEN COAXING GUITAR TECH KEVIN BUELL OUT FOR A QUICK WAVE), TERRY MAGOVERN, AND "ALL THE FANS": "I REALLY LOVE PLAYING LIKE THIS... BUT TO DO IT, YOU REALLY NEED A GREAT AUDIENCE -- AND I'VE HAD GREAT AUDIENCES THIS YEAR. YOU DID A GOOD JOB -- AND IT'S A JOB! THAT'S HARD LISTENING! 'WE'RE NOT TALKING! WE'RE LISTENING!'" ANYTIME, BRUCE, ANYTIME. AND SOME RARE FINAL WORDS AS THE LAST "DREAM BABY DREAM" DRONED TO A CLOSE: "SEE YOU UP THE ROAD!"

2006

30 SHOWS

C23 – APRIL 20, 2006 ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL

NOTES: THE FIRST REHEARSAL SHOW, AND THE PUBLIC DEBUT OF SPRINGSTEEN WITH HIS 17-PIECE SEEGER SESSIONS BAND. AND THE FIRST WORDS OUT OF OUR REPORTER'S MOUTH AFTER THE CONCERT: "DO YOU LIKE MUSIC? DO YOU LIKE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN? THEN YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS SHOW." A SPIRITED DIXIELAND ROMP, ALREADY A SUCCESS THAT THE '92-93 EXPERIMENT WITH OTHER MUSICIANS REACHED FOR AND ARGUABLY NEVER ACHIEVED. THE REHEARSAL ASPECT WAS EVIDENT, AS BRUCE ACKNOWLEDGED, WITH SOME ROUGH EDGES, MISCUES, AND SOUND PROBLEMS; BUT AS HE DIRECTED HIS STAGEFUL OF PLAYERS, UNDER A PAIR OF OLD CHANDELIERS, IT WAS THAT RARE THRILL OF MUSIC BEING MADE RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES -- A GLORIOUS NOISE. A GLORIOUS LAMENT, IN A WAY: THERE WAS A POLITICAL EDGE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, SUBTLE YET UNMISTAKABLE, PARTICULARLY IN THE THREE-PACK OF "DEVILS & DUST," "MRS. MCGRATH" (DEDICATED TO CINDY SHEEHAN), AND "HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE?" THE LAST OF THESE IS A BLIND ALFRED REED SONG FROM THE '20S, COVERED MORE RECENTLY BY RY COODER AND THE DEL-LORDS. SPRINGSTEEN TOOK THE TIME TO SET UP MANY OF TONIGHT'S NUMBERS, OFFERING SOME HISTORY TO INTRODUCE SONGS LIKE "OLD DAN TUCKER" AND "EYES ON THE PRIZE." IN ALL, THE BAND PERFORMED ELEVEN SONGS FROM THE ALBUM PLUS "BUFFALO GALS" FROM THE FLIPSIDE; AND SIX BRUCE-PENNED SONGS FROM HIS CATALOG: "JOHNNY 99," "ADAM RAISED A CAIN," "DEVILS & DUST," "OPEN ALL NIGHT," "MY CITY OF RUINS," AND "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)." BRINGING THE TOTAL UP TO 20 SONGS (THE SHOW STARTED AT 7:30, ENDED AT 9:35) WERE TWO UNRELEASED COVERS: THE AFOREMENTIONED "POOR MAN," AND THE SHOW-CLOSING "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN." FOR ANOTHER IDEA OF THE SOUND, AS ANOTHER CONCERT-GOER TOLD US, "THINK 'WALT WHITMAN'S NIECE,' FROM START TO FINISH." TAKE THE WEEKEND TO BREAK OUT YOUR COPY OF BILLY BRAGG & WILCO'S MERMAID AVENUE IF YOU NEED A REFRESHER... AND WE'LL BE BACK FOR MORE ON MONDAY NIGHT.

C23 – APRIL 24, 2006 ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL

NOTES: TOMORROW MORNING COMES EARLY, SO WE'LL KEEP THIS SHORT AND SWEET... REHEARSALS ARE DOING WHAT THEY'RE MEANT TO DO, WITH TONIGHT'S (THE SECOND OF FOUR DRESS REHEARSALS) NOTICEBALY TIGHTER THAN THURSDAY'S, BUT NO LESS RAUCOUS AND FUN. TWO CHANGES IN THE SET: REPLACING "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" WAS "CADILLAC RANCH," WEIRDLY BUT QUITE EFFECTIVELY MASHED UP WITH "MYSTERY TRAIN"; AND IN PLACE OF "DEVILS & DUST," "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" -- A NEW ARRANGEMENT IN THREE-QUARTER TIME THAT OWED A GREAT DEAL TO "THE TENNESSEE WALTZ." BEFORE THE NEWLY WORKED UP "FALL BEHIND," BRUCE CALLED FOR A COUPLE OF SHOTS FOR HIMSELF AND THE MISSUS -- "SORT OF A DISCLAIMER FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT." BY THE END, THOUGH, NO APOLOGIES: "THAT MID-SET POP REALLY GREASES THE WHEELS, MAN!" BRUCE LAUGHED. "SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT 30 YEARS AGO!" YEAH, THE BAND WAS GREASED, THE CROWD WAS GREASED, IT WAS A STELLAR SHOW AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL -- WE'LL JUST SEE HOW EVERYBODY FEELS AT 6:30 A.M. SAID BRUCE WITH BOTH A LAUGH AND A CRINGE: "SEE YOU IN THE MORNIN'!"

C23 – APRIL 25, 2006 (AM SHOW)
NOTES: TODAY'S EARLY SHOW -- AND WE MEAN EARLY. WHEN A DISSHEVELED SPRINGSTEEN SHUFFLED TO THE MIC AROUND 7 A.M. TO GREET THE CROWD ASSEMBLED FOR GOOD MORNING AMERICA, HIS FIRST WORDS WERE: "THIS IS AWFUL!" HE WENT ON: "I SALUTE YOU EARLY RISERS... I MUST REALLY WANNA SELL RECORDS!" THE AMUSING PATTER WENT ON FOR MOST OF THE MORNING, AS HE OFFERED TO GIVE THE GMA WEATHER REPORT HIMSELF -- "WEATHER LOOKED PRETTY DAMN NICE OUT THERE TODAY" -- AND RAN THROUGH SOME SONGS WITH THE BAND "SO WE DON'T FUCK UP IN FRONT OF MILLIONS." TWO SONGS WERE BROADCAST IN FULL DURING GMA'S 8 O'CLOCK HOUR; INCLUDING THOSE WARM-UP RUN-THROUGHS, THE CONVENTION HALL CROWD GOT SEVEN PERFORMANCES: TWO TIMES EACH THROUGH "JACOB'S LADDER," "O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP," AND "OLD DAN TUCKER," PLUS ONCE THROUGH "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN." AT ONE POINT BETWEEN TAKES, BRUCE BEGAN WHISTLING TO KEEP THE CROWD (AND HIMSELF) AMUSED, AND HAD AN IDEA: "WHEN THEY COME BACK, I'M GONNA DO THAT. JUST THREE MINUTES OF WHISTLING." AND A PLAN BEGAN TO COME TOGETHER: "NO MORE 'THE BOSS' -- I'LL JUST BE 'THE WHISTLER.' HEY, THE WHISTLER IS COMING TO TOWN! YOU KNOW THAT GUY WHO WHISTLES? HE'S COMING. THE WHISTLER." THOUGH NIGHT TIME IS SURELY THE RIGHT TIME, PERFORMANCE-WISE, SUCH WAS THE SLEEPY, STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS FUN OF BEING UP EARLY WITH THE BOSS. "THANKS FOR COMING OUT SO DAMN EARLY," BRUCE SAID AS HE WAVED SEE-YA TO THE CROWD, "OUCH!" AND LASTLY, WITH A LAUGH, "I FINALLY GOT MY VOICE!"

C23 – APRIL 25, 2006 (PM SHOW) ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL
NOTES: "WELCOME TO THE EVENING SHOW! OH MY GOD WERE WE UP EARLY THIS MORNING... IT WAS TERRIBLE. EVERYBODY'S ALL BRIGHT-EYED... I HATE THAT." BUT ANY LACK OF SLEEP TOOK NO TOLL ON THE SHOW, WHICH CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN UP -- AS BRUCE SAID TONIGHT OF THESE REHEARSALS, THANKING THE ASBURY CROWD, "YOU HAVE HONED US INTO A WELL-OILED, SWINGIN' MACHINE." DAMN SKIPPY. HE TINKERED WITH SET A BIT, OPENING WITH A SPOTLIGHT ON GREG LISZT AND HIS BANJO FOR "JESSE JAMES," AND SWITCHED THE ORDER OF A FEW OTHER SONGS, TOO. AND IN THE ENCORE, "TURN! TURN! TURN!," SENT OUT TO PETE SEEGER, TOOK THE PLACE OF "MY CITY OF RUINS." ITS FIRST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE HERE INCLUDED A BEAUTIFUL VOCAL TURN BY MARK "CHOCOLATE GENIUS" THOMPSON. (THOMPSON ALSO ADDS STAND-OUT VOX TO "EYES ON THE PRIZE" AND "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN," WHICH CLOSED THE SHOW AGAIN TONIGHT.) AS FOR ORIGINALS, BRUCE KEPT "YOU CAN LOOK" IN ITS BRING-THE-HOUSE DOWN PENULTIMATE SLOT, AND "MYSTERY CADILLAC" AND "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" STAYED IN THE SET FROM LAST NIGHT AS WELL. BEFORE THE "FALL BEHIND" WALTZ, HE GOT A BIG LAUGH: "A LOT OF PEOPLE TELL ME THEY'VE USED THIS AS THEIR WEDDING SONG. I'D LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS AN EMERGENCY PREVENTIVE DIVORCE SONG." THE BAND WAS BREAKING IN ITS FULL EUROPEAN HORN LINE-UP TONIGHT, AND WHEN, MID-SET, LABAMBA AND MARK PENDER JOINED BACK IN AS WELL, WE WERE LOOKING AT A SIX-MAN HORN SECTION AND, LORDY, 20 PEOPLE ON STAGE. THANKFULLY, BRUCE'S TRAFFIC CONTROL REMAINS UP TO THE TASK, FOR ONE BIG, GLORIOUS NOISE. LOOK OUT, NEW ORLEANS -- JUST ONE MORE REHEARSAL SHOW TO GO BETWEEN THEM AND YOU. YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT.

C23 – APRIL 26, 2006 ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL
NOTES: THE FOURTH AND FINAL REHEARSAL SHOW OPENED WITH THE DEBUT OF A STUNNING "LONG BLACK VEIL," SOUNDING PRETTY FAITHFUL TO THE BAND'S RENDITION; BRUCE BROUGHT "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" BACK TO THE SET, DROPPING "JESSE JAMES," "ERIE CANAL," AND "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN." CLOSING THE SHOW IN PLACE OF "SAINTS" WAS ANOTHER DEBUT: "THE DARING YOUNG MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE." (SERIOUSLY. THINK "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY" MEETS TOM WAITS.) BUT NOT EVERYTHING WAS DONE WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE AT THIS 5:30 SHOW: THE LOWER-ENERGY CROWD WASN'T QUITE AS "IN CONCERT" WITH THE PERFORMERS (CHALK THAT UP TO THE MATINEE TIMING, PERHAPS), AND "CADILLAC RANCH" WAS A MYSTERY TRAINWRECK. "WE NEEDED TO FUCK UP!" SAID BRUCE AFTER THAT ONE, SUGGESTING BETTER NOW THAN LATER -- THIS WAS STILL A REHEARSAL, AFTER ALL. AND WITH THAT OUT OF THEIR SYSTEM, AND THE REHEARSING BEHIND THEM, THIS IS A BAND THAT'S PRIMED AND READY FOR THEIR BIG NEW ORLEANS DEBUT THIS SUNDAY.

IN A NEW ASSOCIATED PRESS STORY, SPRINGSTEEN LOOKS AHEAD TO THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL AND SAYS, "WE'RE REHEARSING, BUT WE'RE ALSO THINKING, 'WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THOSE FOLKS?'" AND INDEED, THROUGHOUT THESE REHEARSALS, IT'S BEEN CLEAR TO THE PREVIEW AUDIENCES THAT THOUGHTS OF NEW ORLEANS HOVER OVER THE WHOLE PROCEEDINGS. THAT BEGINS WITH THE SOUND ITSELF, WHICH EMBRACES MUSICAL TRADITIONS FROM THE CRESCENT CITY -- IN ASBURY, BRUCE MENTIONED HIS BAND'S "DEBT TO THAT MELTING POT OF R&B AND JAZZ." BUT IT EXTENDS TO THE SHOW'S TOPICALITY, TOO. "THERE'S A LOT OF MUSIC WE HAVE THAT CUTS RIGHT TO THE HEART OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE," BRUCE TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN," PLAYED AT THREE OUT OF THE FOUR REHEARSALS, IS AN OBVIOUS ONE, BUT SONGS LIKE "WE SHALL OVERCOME" AND "MY CITY OF RUINS" ARE IMBUED WITH NEW MEANING POST-KATRINA, AND "MY OKLAHOMA HOME" TOOK ON MODERN RELEVANCE WITH BRUCE'S INTRO: "THE BIGGEST DISPLACEMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS SINCE THE DUST BOWL HAS BEEN NEW ORLEANS."

THE HORN-FUELED "HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE?" -- THE SHOW'S CENTERPIECE, LITERALLY AND OTHERWISE -- IS THE MOST OVERT REFERENCE TO THE GULF COAST DISASTER AND ITS AFTERMATH. ON MONDAY NIGHT, SPRINGSTEEN INTRODUCED IT BY TELLING THE CROWD THAT IT'S "IMPORTANT THAT WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP THAT AREA GET BACK ON ITS FEET," ADDING, SLIGHTLY OFF-MIC, "AND FORCE OUR GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT." ON TUESDAY, HE EXPLAINED THE NEW TWIST HE PUT ON BLIND ALFRED REED'S DEPRESSION-ERA SONG: "I KEPT THE FIRST VERSE, AND REWROTE THE SECOND THREE, IN TRUE FOLK FASHION." HIS NEW LYRICS INCLUDE "BODIES FLOATING ON CANAL," "I GOT FAMILY SCATTERED FROM TEXAS TO BALTIMORE," AND A NOT-SO-SUBTLY-VEILED DESCRIPTION OF PRESIDENT'S BUSH'S RESPONSE TO THE TRAGEDY: "HE TOOK A LOK AROUND AND GAVE A PEP TALK / SAID 'I'LL BE RIGHT HERE' THEN HE TOOK A LITTLE WALK..." BUT BRUCE, AND THE SHOW, MANAGES TO AVOID ANY HEAVY-HANDEDNESS. WHAT'S ON ITS WAY TO NEW ORLEANS FOR ITS MOST FITTING OFFICIAL DEBUT THIS WEEKEND IS A ROUSING, HOOTIN', HOLLERIN', JOYFUL NOIZE -- IN THAT GREAT AMERICAN MUSICAL TRADITION, TRANSFORMING PAIN INTO JUBILATION.

C23 – APRIL 30, 2006 NEW ORLEANS, LA / JAZZFEST
NOTES: QUITE AN IMPORTANT NIGHT FOR SPRINGSTEEN -- WHEN'S THE LAST TIME HE REALLY HAD TO PROVE HIMSELF TO AN AUDIENCE? CLOSING OUT THE FIRST WEEKEND OF THE NEW ORELANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL, FOLLOWING ELVIS COSTELLO AND ALLEN TOUSSAINT, IT WAS TO A DECIDEDLY NON-PARTISAN CROWD; BRUCE WASN'T PREACHING TO THE CHOIR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, HE HAD A BRAND NEW BAND TO BOOT, AND THIS THEIR FIRST NON-REHEARSAL SHOW. THE SEEGER SESSIONS BAND WAS A 20-PIECE CREW AGAIN TONIGHT, WITH ALL SIX HORNS, AND AS ONE LONGTIME FAN TOLD US -- FASCINATED TO WATCH THEM WIN OVER THE NON-BRUCE CROWD -- "THEY SOLD SOME RECORDS TONIGHT!" YES, ON THIS HUMID NEW ORLEANS EVENING, BRUCE AND HIS BAND MORE THAN MET THE CHALLENGE, PLAYING THE SUN INTO THE GROUND FOR A TWO-HOUR SET THAT HAD THE SLOW-TO-COME-ALONG CROWD EVENTUALLY EATING OUT OF THE PALM OF HIS HAND. SPRINGSTEEN WAS UP AGAINST THE METERS, PERHAPS THE QUINTESSENTIAL JAZZFEST BAND -- SO IT'S A GOOD THING HE TURNED IN A QUINTESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE, ONE WHICH DEMONSTRATED EXACTLY WHY HE'S GOT THAT LEGENDARY LIVE REP. CALLS OF "BLOW'D AWAY!" CAME FROM THE AUDIENCE DURING "MY OKLAHOMA HOME," BUT IT WAS "JACOB'S LADDER" THAT WAS PROBABLY THE TURNING POINT WHEN HE TOOK CONTROL OF THE CROWD. BY THE ENCORE, HE WAS EGGING THEM ON AS IF IT WERE THE SECOND FALSE ENDING OF "BADLANDS." "I AIN'T FEELING THE LOVE!" BRUCE CRIED, AND THE UNTRAINED AUDIENCE POURED IT ON. EARLIER IN THE SHOW, IN A QUIP BEFORE SHOW HIGHLIGHT "HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE?," HE DEDICATED THE SONG TO "PRESIDENT BYSTANDER." SPRINGSTEEN ALSO TALKED ABOUT GETTING TO TOWN THE PREVIOUS DAY AND HEADING DOWN TO THE LOWER 9TH: "I SAW SOME THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE IN AN AMERICAN CITY." THE EMOTIONAL "MY CITY OF RUINS" THAT BEGAN THE ENCORE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON THAT VISIT; DURING THE SONG, THE WHOLE PACKED FAIRGROUNDS FIELD HAD HANDS IN THE AIR. BRUCE WAS CLEARLY TOUCHED BY THE SPONTANEOUS REACTION FROM THIS PARTICULAR CROWD; YOU COULD SEE IT ON HIS FACE, AND HE STEPPED TO THE MIC AND SAID, "YES, YES, YES... YES, YES, YES." "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)," THE LAST OF ONLY FOUR ORIGINALS OF THE NIGHT AND AN OBSCURE ONE AT THAT, HAD 'EM ALL GOING NUTS AND SINGING ALONG. AND CLOSING THE SHOW, NATURALLY, WAS "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN." BRUCE TALKED ABOUT GOING THROUGH AN OLD SONGBOOK AND FINDING SOME VERSES HE HADN'T KNOWN EXISTED, SAID THEY'D PLAY THE SONG "EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE 100 BANDS IN THE CITY THAT CAN DO IT BETTER THAN WE CAN," AND DEDICATED THE PERFORMANCE TO THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. A NIGHT TO BE PROUD YOU'RE A FAN. YES, YES, YES.

C23 – MAY 5, 2006 DUBLIN, IRELAND / THE POINT
NOTES: A SPIRITED EUROPEAN TOUR OPENER HAS THE WELL-REHEARSED SEEGER SESSIONS BAND FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS. AS ONE SHOWGOER TELLS US, "THIS REALLY ROCKS, FLOWS, SMACKS... AND THE HORNS AND THE BEAUTIFUL FIDDLE FROM SOOZIE, PURE MAGIC... LOVELY, JUST LOVELY!" IN THE HOME OF "MRS. MCGRATH," AN IRISH FOLKSONG "KNOWN FROM A DUBLIN BROADSIDE OF 1815," ACCORDING TO DAVE MARSH'S LINER NOTES (AND A SONG WHICH, COINCIDENTALLY ENOUGH, HAPPENS TO MENTION TODAY'S DATE), BRUCE OFFERS THE CORRECT IRISH PRONUNCIATION OF "MCGRAW." SETLIST-WISE, HE RE-EXPANDED THE TRIMMED-DOWN SET FROM NEW ORLEANS FOR A TWO-AND-A-QUARTER-HOUR SHOW, SLIPPING "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" AND "ERIE CANAL" BACK INTO AN OTHERWISE IDENTICAL LINE-UP. HEY, IF IT AIN'T BROKE... SPEAKING TO DAVID MCCULLAGH IN DUBLIN FOR RTE, SPRINGSTEEN TALKED ABOUT THE IRISH INFLUENCE ON THIS MUSIC: "THAT'S WHERE IT CAME FROM! SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT COMING AND STARTING IN DUBLIN FOR THAT VERY REASON -- THOSE INFLUENCES ARE ALL THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT. WATCH INTERVIEW AND PERFORMANCE FOOTAGE HERE. OF THE SHOW, MCCULLAGH TELLS BACKSTREETS: "MORE FUN THAN I'VE HAD WITH MY CLOTHES ON. I HAD MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE WHOLE SEEGER THING, BUT THOSE DOUBTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT, STOMPED ON A GOOD FEW TIMES, AND TOLD NEVER TO COME BACK TO BUFFALO."

C23 – MAY 7, 2006 MANCHESTER, ENGLAND / MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

NOTES: "HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING," ONE OF THE DUALDISC'S BONUS TRACKS, PREMIERED IN MANCHESTER, A NEAR-ACAPELLA PERFORMANCE LEAD OFF BY PATTI SCIALFA. AND RETURNING TO THE SET AFTER "WE FUCKED THIS UP SO BAD BACK IN ASBURY WE HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO IT SINCE" WAS "CADILLAC RANCH," REPLACING "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" ON THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST. WHILE IT WAS A ROWDY, BOOZY CROWD, THAT DIDN'T CARRY OVER TO THE SING-ALONG ON THIS ONE... AFTER CALLING FOR CROWD PARTICIPATION ON THE "MYSTERY TRAIN" CHORUS, BRUCE OBSERVED, "THAT WAS MISERABLE -- WE NEED SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP!" BUT YOU CAN'T SAY THE CROWD WASN'T INTO THE PARTY IN GENERAL; THEY MADE UP FOR THE SING-ALONG IN "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN" AT THE END OF THE SET, AND FOR "OLD DAN TUCKER" FOUR SONGS IN, AS BRUCE PUT IT, "THE STAGE HAS JUST BEEN RUSHED TO A 150-YEAR-OLD SONG!" "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" (NOT PLAYED) WAS AN ALTERNATE FOR "MY CITY OF RUINS" ON THE SETLIST. AND GOOD NEWS FOR NOSEBLEED TICKETHOLDERS -- THE MAN IN BLACK WAS BACK, FILLING UP THE FRONT ROW!

C23 – MAY 8, 2006 LONDON, ENGLAND / HAMMERSMITH APOLLO THEATRE
NOTES: "FINALLY, LONDON IS READY FOR BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE SEEGER SESSIONS BAND!"... AS, THREE DECADES ON, BRUCE RETURNS TO THE SITE OF HIS FIRST UK SHOWS FOR BORN TO RUN. THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "LONG BLACK VEIL" AS AN AD-LIB AFTER "CADILLAC RANCH" MAKES THIS THE LONGEST SET YET. ALTHOUGH THE CROWD KNEW THE "MYSTERY TRAIN" CHORUS TO "CADILLAC RANCH," BRUCE SEEMED NOT TO WANT TO RISK A POOR RESPONSE TWO NIGHTS RUNNING. BUT THE CROWD WAS REALLY UP FOR THIS SHOW, WITH PLENTY OF SINGING ALONG, AND THE SMALLER, MORE INTIMATE VENUE CERTAINLY HELPED. THE "BLOWED AWAY" RESPONSE IN THE CHORUS TO "MY OKLAHOMA HOME" NEARLY KNOCKED BRUCE BACK, AND "OPEN ALL NIGHT" (LOVE THE SWING VERSION) AND "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN" WERE RAUCOUS AS HELL. BRUCE IS SO RELAXED AND OBVIOUSLY ENJOYING HIMSELF -- THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PRESSURE. HE REFERRED TO HIS PREVIOUS VISIT HERE TWICE DURING THE CONCERT: AN OPENING MENTION OF THE VENUE SEEMING FAMILIAR, AND A LENGTHY SPEECH BEFORE "SAINTS" ABOUT HOW EACH SHOW HAS ITS MEMORIES AND GHOSTS, AND HOW GOOD IT WAS TO BE PLAYING HERE AGAIN 30 YEARS LATER. THIS WAS A STUNNING SHOW. WITH APOLOGIES TO JON LANDAU, I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF FOLK/GOSPEL/JAZZ/BLUES/ROCK 'N' ROLL/SOUL/ROCKABILLY FUSION AND ITS NAME IS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. IN THE AUDIENCE: FORMER DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE BBC, GREG DYKE.

C23 – MAY 10, 2006 PARIS, FRANCE / PALAIS BERCY
NOTES: A WORLD PREMIERE TONIGHT: ECHOING HIS "BRING 'EM HOME" SENTIMENT FROM THIS YEAR'S GRAMMYS, SPRINGSTEEN BROKE OUT PETE SEEGER'S "BRING THEM HOME (IF YOU LOVE YOUR UNCLE SAM)" IN THE ENCORE. IN 2003, SEEGER UPDATED HIS VIETNAM-ERA ANTI-WAR SONG FOR A RE-RECORDING WITH BILLY BRAGG, ANI DIFRANCO AND STEVE EARLE, AVAILABLE ON APPLESEED RECORDINGS' SEEDS: THE SONGS OF PETE SEEGER, VOL. III -- FOLLOW THAT LINK TO LISTEN TO THE SONG VIA REAL AUDIO. YOU CAN ALSO HEAR SEEGER TALKING ABOUT THE SONG ON NPR.ORG AS A "WEB EXTRA." BACK TO THE SHOW: THE WALTZ ARRANGEMENT OF "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" HAD ITS FIRST TOUR PERFORMANCE, AFTER A FEW WORKOUTS AT THE ASBURY REHEARSALS. AND FOR "BUFFALO GALS," SOMEHOW THEY FOUND ROOM ON THAT PACKED STAGE FOR TWO MORE, AS BOTH ELLIOTT MURPHY AND GARLAND JEFFREYS JOINED IN.

C23 – MAY 12, 2006 MILAN, ITALY / FORUM
NOTES: BRUCE HAS OFTEN TALKED ABOUT THE AUDIENCE AND PERFORMER BEING "IN CONCERT," AND IF EVER THERE WAS A TOUR THAT TRULY BENEFITS FROM AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION, THIS IS IT. WELCOME TO MILAN! SPRINGSTEEN'S VISITS TO THE MOTHERLAND ALWAYS BRING NIGHTS TO REMEMBER, AND THIS ONE, WITH A TYPICALLY PASSIONATE ITALIAN AUDIENCE, WAS NO EXCEPTION. ANNALENA MAINARDI TELLS US IT WAS "A REAL BLAST! BRUCE WAS ABSOLUTELY AT EASE WITH ALL OUR SINGING AND INTERACTING WITH ALL SONGS -- MANY TIMES HE HAD TO HUSH US IN ORDER TO START THE FOLLOWING SONG... BUT HE DID IT SMILING!" WITH BRUCE AND THE CROWD TAKING EACH OTHER HIGHER, ONE REGULAR SHOW-GOER (FRESH FROM THE MANCHESTER, LONDON, AND PARIS STOPS), PUTS THIS ONE IN HIS TOP TEN BRUCE SHOWS OF ALL TIME. SOME SETLIST-SHUFFLING AT THE BEGINNING, OPENING WITH "JESSE JAMES," BUT BIGGER SURPRISES CAME IN THE ENCORE. BRUCE DEBUTED A "TEXICALI" ARRANGEMENT OF "RAMROD": "THE FIRST TIME... AND THE LAST IF IT STINKS!" "BUFFALO GALS" CLOSED THE SHOW AS A SEMI-AUDIBLE, LISTED ON THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST WITH A QUESTION MARK, AND GAVE THE ITALIANS ONE MORE VOCAL CHORD WORKOUT AS THE SHOW CONTINUED PAST "SAINTS" FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND PERHAPS THE BIGGEST SMILES CAME FROM THESE FIVE WORDS: "SEE YOU IN THE FALL!" IN CASE ANYONE THOUGHT THEY MISHEARD, SPRINGSTEEN REPEATED AND EVEN TRANSLATED THAT MOUTHWATERING PROMISE: "CI VEDIAMO IN AUTUNNO!"

C23 – MAY 14, 2006 BADALONA, SPAIN / PAVELLÓ OLÍMPIC
NOTES: AS WE'VE ALL SEEN ON DVD, A "LIVE IN BARCELONA" SPRINGSTEEN PERFORMANCE IS BOUND TO BRING OUT A DEVOTED, ANIMATED CROWD. NOT TO BE OUTDONE BY THE ITALIANS, SPANISH FANS ON SUNDAY NIGHT LOUDLY SANG "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN" -- BEFORE THE SHOW EVEN STARTED! AND OF COURSE, THEY KEPT UP THE CRAZY FOR THE DURATION OF THE SHOW -- LIKE MILAN, A 21-SONG SET WITH "RAMROD" IN THE ENCORE AND "BUFFALO GALS" TO CLOSE; THE SIGNIFICANT SETLIST CHANGE WAS "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" IN FOR "CADILLAC RANCH." ON THIS MOTHER'S DAY, BRUCE DEDICATED "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" TO WIFE PATTI, THIS BARCELONA SHOW APPARENTLY BEING HER LAST OF THE EUROPEAN LEG. AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, THE SPANISH FANS GOT A BEAUTIFUL REWARD -- AS IN ITALY, BRUCE ANNOUNCED THAT HE'D BE BACK IN THE FALL.

C23 – MAY 16, 2006 AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS / HEINEKEN MUSIC HALL
NOTES: INCLUDES "LONG BLACK VEIL."

C23 – MAY 17, 2006 FRANKFURT, GERMANY / FESTHALLE
NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN HAS CLEARLY FOUND A SET HE LIKES, WITH THE SAME SONGS AS AMSTERDAM, JUST THE FIRST FOUR SONGS SHUFFLED. FREQUENT GERMAN GUEST WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN JOINS IN FOR "BUFFALO GALS," THE NEW SHOW-CLOSER NOW FOR FOUR NIGHTS RUNNING.

C23 – MAY 20, 2006 OSLO, NORWAY / SPEKTRUM ARENA
NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN GOT TO TOWN ON MAY 18, JUST MISSING NORWAY'S NATIONAL DAY ON THE 17TH, AS HE TOLD THE AUDIENCE. HAVING RELAXED IN OSLO FOR A COUPLE DAYS -- IN FACT, THEY WERE ALL IN TOWN LONG ENOUGH THAT SOME OF THE BAND (SANS BRUCE) SCRATCHED A JAMMING ITCH AT A DOWNTOWN BLUES BAR, THE MUDDY WATERS -- BRUCE WAS IN FINE FORM AND GREAT SPIRITS. THE CROWD TOOK SOME COAXING, BUT HE FINALLY "GOT THOSE NORWEGIAN ASSES OFF THOSE NORWEGIAN SEATS!" WITH "JACOB'S LADDER" IN PARTICULAR REVVING THINGS UP. AFTER SKIPPING NORWAY ON THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR, BRUCE MADE UP FOR IT IN OSLO BY GIVING THEM A SPECIAL TASTE OF THAT TITLE TRACK AS A TOUR PREMIERE. "SOME ANTI-WAR SONGS ARE NEW AND SOME ARE OLD... THIS ONE'S NEW," HE TOLD THE CROWD, THEN FOLLOWED "DEVILS & DUST" IMMEDIATELY WITH THE NEARLY 200-YEAR-OLD "MRS. MCGRATH." AND PERHAPS A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME: "MY FATHER'S HOUSE" WAS IN THE SOUNDCHECK.

C23 – MAY 21, 2006 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN / HOVET ARENA
NOTES: WITH THE SURVIVING MEMBERS OF LED ZEPPELIN IN TOWN TO ACCEPT THE POLAR MUSIC PRIZE (AN HONOR SPRINGSTEEN RECEIVED IN 1997), JIMMY PAGE WAS IN THE HOUSE FOR THE STOCKHOLM SHOW. ALAS, BRUCE DIDN'T SEIZE THE MOMENT AND BRING HIM UP FOR "WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS" -- PAGE STAYED IN THE CROWD. (HEARTBREAKER, HUH?) BUT HE SURELY DIDN'T STAY IN HIS SEAT, AS THIS EUROPEAN TOUR-CLOSER HAD EVERYONE FIRED UP, ON STAGE AND OFF. A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE FROM THE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD, A CONTRAST TO THE PREVIOUS NIGHT IN OSLO AS BRUCE HINTED, JOKING, "I DON’T HAVE TO MENTION ANY NAMES...." IT WAS A LONGER SET, GIVING NO QUARTER AT 22 SONGS AND OVER TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS. AND WHILE MOST OF THE SONGS REMAINED THE SAME, BRUCE WORKED IN A FEW OF THE RARITIES FROM THIS LEG: "BRING THEM HOME," "LONG BLACK VEIL," AND "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" (INTRODUCED AS "AN OLD SONG WRITTEN BY A VERY OLD MAN"). SPRINGSTEEN GAVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO HIS FRIENDS IN SWEDEN AND NOTED HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU: "THIS IS THE 31ST YEAR WE’VE BEEN COMING HERE," HE SAID FONDLY, ADDING THAT SINCE HE'S ONLY 30 YEARS OLD, "IT’S A TRUE MIRACLE!" OF THE EUROPEAN TOUR AS A WHOLE: "WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME THE PAST THREE WEEKS. I WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN TWICE AS LONG." SOUNDS LIKE HE'LL BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT COME THE FALL, WITH MORE DANCING DAYS AHEAD FOR EUROPE... FOR NOW, HE'S GONNA BRING IT ON HOME. NEXT: U.S. FANS, YOUR TIME IS GONNA COME: NO MORE OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY... SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND TAKE A NIGHT FLIGHT BACK ACROSS THE OCEAN TO START THE U.S. LEG IN BOSTON THIS SATURDAY. (AND OF COURSE, SOON AFTER THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO CALIFORNIA.) HOT DOG, WE'RE GONNA GROOVE!

C23 – MAY 27, 2006 BOSTON, MA / TWEETER CENTER
NOTES: AFTER A TEN-CITY EUROPEAN TOUR, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE SEEGER SESSIONS BAND RETURN TO THE STATES TO PLAY TO A TYPICALLY FINE BOSTON AUDIENCE -- "A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THE AMERICAN LEG," BRUCE SAID, "EVERY CROWD SHOULD BE LIKE THIS!" THE BAND'S FIRST U.S. DATE SINCE THEIR STUNNING TURN AT JAZZFEST IN NEW ORLEANS NEARLY A MONTH AGO FINDS THEM EVEN TIGHTER, AND AS THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL HAS RISEN, SONGS HAVE STRETCHED OUT WITH MORE SOLOS. PATTI WAS BACK ON STAGE TONIGHT AFTER BOWING OUT OF EUROPE EARLY, SIGNIFYING THE NUMBER OF SHOWS SHE MISSED WITH JUST FOUR WIGGLING FINGERS. WHAT WE'VE THOUGHT OF AS THE EUROPEAN HORN SECTION WAS STILL PART OF THE PROCEEDINGS TONIGHT, TOO; MARK PENDER AND LABAMBA JOINED IN HALFWAY THROUGH TO BRING THE HORN COUNT TO SIX -- AND, WITH THEIR STYLE AND POWER, HELPED RAISE THE ENERGY LEVEL FOR THE SHOW'S BACK HALF. A SIX-SONG ENCORE BEGAN WITH THE FIRST U.S. PERFORMANCE OF "BRING THEM HOME," WHICH DEBUTED IN PARIS, PLAYED TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY WITH MEMORIAL DAY IN MIND. IT TOOK THE PLACE OF "MY CITY OF RUINS," DROPPED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON TOUR. ANOTHER SURPRISE IN THE ENCORE, PER TRADITION, WAS THE JUST-FOR-BOSTON SPECIAL, "DIRTY WATER." LOCAL SHOWGOERS HAVE BEEN TREATED TO THIS STANDELLS CLASSIC REGULARLY ON RECENT TOURS, FROM THE E STREET GARAGE STOMP VERSION AT THE FLEET CENTER AND FENWAY PARK, TO BRUCE'S SOLO VOICE-AND-HARP HOLLER ON THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR. IT WAS GIVEN A DIFFERENT TWIST WITH THIS NEW BAND TONIGHT, OF COURSE, BUT THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME -- OLD PAL PETER WOLF WAS ON HAND ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS ONE, STAYING ON STAGE AS "DIRTY WATER" MOVED RIGHT INTO "BUFFALO GALS" AND ADDING AD LIBS ABOUT A "REDHEADED GIRL."

C23 – MAY 30, 2006 COLUMBUS, OH / GERMAIN AMPHITHEATRE
NOTES: A HUMID NIGHT AND A SPARSE CROWD IN COLUMBUS, AND WITH A TINY G.A. AREA, THE STAGE SEEMED ALMOST AS CROWDED AS THE PIT. BUT AS BRUCE SAID WHILE GEARING UP FOR THE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION OF "OLD DAN TUCKER": "WE ARE NOT GREAT IN NUMBERS, BUT WE ARE MIGHTY!" AND IT WAS, BY SEVERAL ACCOUNTS, A MIGHTIER SHOW THAN DC. "BRING THEM HOME" MOVED TO THE MAIN SET FOR A STRONG MEMORIAL DAY PAIRING WITH "MRS. MCGRATH," AND "MY CITY OF RUINS" WAS BACK IN THE OPENING ENCORE SLOT. WHAT FOLLOWED "MY CITY" WAS THE BIG SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT, AS BRUCE INTRO'D A SONG BY J.R. ROBERTSON (WHY DOES THAT NAME RING A BELL?) AND SAID "WE AIN'T NEVER PLAYED THIS ONE BEFORE." TURNED OUT TO BE A COVER OF THE ROBBIE ROBERTSON-PENNED "RAG MAMA RAG," FROM THE BAND'S 1970 SELF-TITLED ALBUM. FROM THEIR WORK WITH DYLAN ON THE BASEMENT TAPES TO THEIR OWN UNIQUE FUSION OF TRADITIONAL MUSICAL STYLES, THE BAND WERE MODERN GODFATHERS AND PROPAGATORS OF THIS KIND OF ECLECTIC AMERICANA, CLEAR FORERUNNERS TO WHAT SPRINGSTEEN IS BRINGING TO THE STAGE EVERY NIGHT. SO TONIGHT'S WORLD PREMIERE WAS A VERY APPROPRIATE TIP OF THE HAT -- AND A ROCKING ONE AT THAT, PRETTY TRUE TO THE BAND'S ORIGINAL. AFTER THAT WAS A NEW BIT OF SHTICK: EARLIER ON THE TOUR BRUCE HAD LAUGHED THAT THEY WERE PLAYING EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK ON THIS TOUR, AND ONE OF THESE NIGHTS THEY'D HAVE TO ACTUALLY BRING A KITCHEN SINK. WE FIGURED HE WAS KIDDING. BUT TONIGHT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID. DRUMMER LARRY EAGLE BASHED AWAY ON SOME DISHWARE, AND BRUCE TOLD HIM TO TAKE IT EASY: "PATTI'S GONNA KILL ME IF WE BUST THOSE FUCKING PLATES!" PATTI HERSELF WAS ABSENT TONIGHT, AND AS A RESULT SO WAS THE SCAT PORTION OF "OPEN ALL NIGHT." CAN'T SAY IT DIDN'T WORK BETTER WITHOUT IT. "BUFFALO GALS" DIDN'T COME OUT TONIGHT, AND NEITHER DID "RAMROD" -- BOTH WERE LISTED AS POSSIBLES AFTER "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN," BUT A VENUE CURFEW CUT THE NIGHT SHORT AT 20 SONGS. BUT A TREMENDOUS SHOW, AND A REMINDER, IF ANYONE NEEDED ONE, THAT SPRINGSTEEN GIVES IT HIS ALL NO MATTER HOW FULL THE HOUSE.

C23 – MAY 31, 2006 INDIANAPOLIS, IN / VERIZON AMPHITHEATRE
NOTES: THE SHOW OPENS WITH ONE OF SPRINGSTEEN'S OWN TUNES FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "ATLANTIC CITY." DIFFERENT FROM ANY PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENT, THIS ONE SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD HAVE FIT PERFECTLY ON THE SEEGER SESSIONS ALBUM. A SECOND PREMIERE CAME MIDWAY THROUGH THE NIGHT, AS "FROGGIE WENT A COURTIN'" WAS PLAYED FOR A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY, FRONT AND CENTER, HOLDING OUT A STUFFED FROG. OBSERVED BRUCE: "I THINK WE HAVE A REQUEST HERE!" MUSICIANS NODDED AS HE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS UP FOR THE DEBUT, LAUGHING, "I LOVE THE FALSE CONFIDENCE FROM THE BAND!" THE BOY, WHOSE NAME WAS RIVER -- "I COULD DO THAT ONE TOO!" BRUCE TEASED -- GOT A HARMONICA AFTERWARDS. WITH TONIGHT'S "FROGGIE," "SHENANDOAH" IS THE ONLY YET-UNPLAYED SONG FROM THE NEW RECORD. THE BAND'S "RAG MAMA RAG" HAD ITS SECOND PERFORMANCE; BRUCE SAID, "LAST NIGHT IT WAS LIKE A BIG CARNIVAL RIDE," AND TONIGHT IT WAS A BIG HIT IN THE ENCORE ONCE AGAIN. BUT RARITIES ASIDE, THE HIGH POINT OF THE SHOW IS STILL BRUCE'S REWORKING OF THE DEPRESSION-ERA ANTHEM "HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE?" -- A HORN-HEAVY POWERHOUSE OF A PROTEST SONG, FOR FOLKS TIRED OF COMIN' OUT ON THE LOSIN' END. AS ONE INDY SHOWGOER TOLD US TONIGHT, "HE NEEDS TO GET THAT ON ITUNES RIGHT NOW."

JUNE 5, 2006 GREEK THEATRE, LOS ANGELES, CA

C23 – JUNE 10, 2006 DES MOINES, IA / WELLS FARGO ARENA
NOTES: BRUCE FINDS HIMSELF IN DES MOINES AT THE SAME TIME AS THE WORLD PORK EXPO, THE SOURCE OF A GOOD DEAL OF AMUSEMENT. "KIND OF LIKE COMING TO NEW JERSEY WHILE THERE'S A MAFIA CONVENTION GOING ON," HE SAYS, "OR THE POLLUTER'S BALL!" MARK PENDER GOT A CHANCE TO SHINE TONIGHT (AS IF HE DIDN'T EVERY NIGHT), BEING FROM NEARBY KANSAS CITY, WITH HIS MOTHER IN THE CROWD. BRUCE MADE SURE TO POINT HER OUT, AND HE THREW "THE LOVEMAN" THE SOLO IN "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN," A NICE MOMENT. NO PATTI AGAIN, AND A SIMILAR SET TO THE LAST SHOW CONCORD, SUBSTITUTING "CITY OF RUINS" FOR "BRING THEM HOME," AND DROPPING "FROGGIE." WHAT, NO DES MOINES KIDS GOT THE MEMO ABOUT BRINGING A STUFFED ANIMAL? WELL, A PLUSH PIG WOULDN'T HAVE QUITE THE SAME EFFECT ANYWAY.

C23 - JUNE 11, 2006 ST. PAUL, MN / XCEL ARENA
NOTES: A LATER START, AFTER 8:30, BUT GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT, AND IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT IN THE TWIN CITIES. THE STAR TRIBUNE'S JON BREAM -- WHO HAS SEEN HIS FAIR SHARE OF BRUCE SHOWS -- WRITES, "I HAVEN'T SEEN SPRINGSTEEN SEEMING SO REFRESHED AND HAVING SO MUCH FUN SINCE I FIRST SAW HIM IN A NEW YORK CLUB IN 1975 A MONTH BEFORE HIS LANDMARK BORN TO RUN ALBUM WAS RELEASED." ALWAYS FINE TUNIN', SPRINGSTEEN MADE NOTICEABLE TWEAKS TO "OPEN ALL NIGHT" AND "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN." (HE ALSO MIGHT HAVE TWEAKED HIS BACK ALONG THE WAY -- LONGTIME SPORTS COLUMNIST SID HARTMAN WRITES THAT BRUCE CALLED ON HIS OLD PAL AND PRO WRESTLER JIM BRUNZELL TO HELP WORK ON IT.) "O MARY" MOVED TO THE OPENING SLOT IT LAST HAD IN DC, AND "LONG BLACK VEIL" GOTS ITS FIRST AIRING SINCE EUROPE. THE WELL-RESTED "BUFFALO GALS" ALSO RETURNED TO CLOSE THE SHOW, WITH BRUCE TELLING THE ST. PAUL CROWD, "THANKS FOR TAKING A CHANCE ON US." SEEMS LIKE A STRANGE THING TO HEAR COMING FROM THE STAGE AT A SPRINGSTEEN SHOW -- YES, THIS TOUR IS CLEARLY A DIFFERENT ANIMAL, AND BRUCE KNOWS IT. BUT IT WAS THOSE IN THE CROWD WHO WERE THE MOST GRATEFUL, INCLUDING AN ESPECIALLY POSITIVE REACTION FOR "BRING THEM HOME."

C23 - JUNE 13, 2006 TINLEY PARK, IL / FIRST MIDWEST BANK AMPHITHEATRE
NOTES: A BEAUTIFUL CHICAGO NIGHT, MY FIRST SHOW SINCE DC, AND THIS THING JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. FIRST OF ALL, YOU'VE GOT BRUCE PLAYING SO HARD HE RUBS HIS HAND RAW -- HE HAD TO CALL FOR A MASKING TAPE WRAP AFTER THE "JOHN HENRY"/"O MARY" OPENERS. AND THEN MOVE ON TO SOME KNOCKOUT SONGS I HADN'T HEARD YET -- LIKE THE COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF "ATLANTIC CITY," WHICH HAS BEEN A NIGHTLY STAPLE SINCE INDY. IT STARTS WITH BANJO AND BRUCE ON SOME LEAD ACOUSTIC GUITAR, BEFORE LARRY EAGLE'S BOOMING BASS DRUM BRINGS THE WHOLE BAND CRASHING IN WITH A BARRAGE OF SOUND; BY THE END, WE'VE GOT GOSPEL VOCALS CALLING OUT "MEET ME TONIGHT" OVER AND OVER, WITH A "LI LI LI" REFRAIN. AS WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINALS ON THIS TOUR, IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE SONG, AND A REAL MARVEL. "LONG BLACK VEIL" WAS A NEW ONE FOR ME AS WELL, A VOCAL HARMONY TOUR DE FORCE WITH THE SECOND VERSE SUNG BY THE ALWAYS-WELCOME MARC ANTHONY THOMPSON. AND THEN THERE'S THE ONE NO ONE HAD HEARD BEFORE (UNLESS YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO CATCH THE EXTENSIVE WORK ON IT AT THE ST. PAUL SOUNDCHECK). THOSE MAGIC WORDS "THIS IS A SONG WE HAVEN'T QUITE WORKED OUT YET -- LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT" INTRODUCED THE TOUR DEBUT OF "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)." AGAIN, A TOTAL REVAMP, WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MELODY. BRUCE AND THE BAND GAVE THIS RISING SONG AN IRISH LILT, THANKS IN GREAT PART TO ART BARON TRADING IN HIS TUBA FOR THE FLUTE. "ART IS KING OF THE HIGHEST INSTRUMENT AND THE LOWEST INSTRUMENT IN THE BAND," SAYS BRUCE, "HE'S KNOWN AS ART HI-LO." SPOTLIGHT ON CINDY MIZELL'S BEAUTIFUL VOCAL TO KICK IT OFF, AND BY THE END OF THE SONG WE ALSO GOT SOLO VOCAL TURNS FROM MARC, LISA, CURTIS, AND FRANK. "FURTHER ON" STILL NEEDS A LITTLE WORK, AS BRUCE SUGGESTED, BUT IT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SET, AND FURTHER STUNNING EVIDENCE OF THIS BAND'S CAPACITY FOR REINVENTION. ALONG THOSE LINES, "OKLAHOMA HOME" CONTINUED IN THE NEW ARRANGEMENT BRUCE TRIED OUT IN ST. PAUL, ADDING SOME NICE DYNAMIC VARIATION WITH A SPARSER, SOLO BEGINNING BEFORE BUILDING TO THAT CRAZY DIXIELAND HORN BUSINESS. "ERIE CANAL," THE ONLY TIME I THOUGHT PREVIOUS SHOWS DRAGGED, DROPPED OUT TONIGHT -- SO AT THIS POINT I'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A LOW POINT. LARRY'S MAMA, IN THE CROWD TONIGHT, MUST HAVE BEEN PROUD.

C23 - JUNE 14, 2006 MILWAUKEE, WI / BRADLEY CENTER
NOTES: AS I WROTE AFTER CHICAGO, THIS THING OF OURS KEEPS GETTING BETTER, AND TONIGHT CONTINUED THE TREND. WHILE THE ATMOSPHERE MAY HAVE LACKED SOMETHING FOR MOVING INDOORS, A RILED-UP CROWD FED THE BAND, AND YOU COULD PRACTICALLY FEEL THE WIND BLOW -- THEY WERE ON. AN INTENSE "ATLANTIC CITY" WAS A HIGHLIGHT ONCE AGAIN, POWERFUL LIKE A LOCOMOTIVE. BRUCE'S GUITAR CRAPPED OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF "JESSE JAMES," RIGHT AFTER TAKING OVER FROM GREG'S BANJO INTRO, BUT HE TURNED DOWN KEVIN BUELL'S OFFER OF ANOTHER, UNSLUNG THE DEAD ONE, AND SAID "WE DON'T NEED IT ANYWAY!" SPRINGSTEEN DID THE REST OF THE SONG HANDS-FREE, THROWING HIMSELF INTO THE VOCAL -- AND THROWING GREAT SOLOS TO MARTY RIFKIN ON DOBRO, SAM BARDFELD ON FIDDLE, AND THE MIGHTY HORNS. "CADILLAC RANCH" CAME BACK IN AFTER A LENGTHY BREAK, IF ONLY FOR THE INEVITABLE CHEER ON THE "WISCONSIN NIGHT" LINE, BUT IT SOUNDED SMOOTH AND WELL-RESTED. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT WAS A SECOND STAB AT "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)," DEBUTED LAST NIGHT IN CHICAGO, AND IT SOUNDED EVEN BETTER TONIGHT. FOR ALL THE REMARKABLE RECASTING OF THIS SONG -- MELODICALLY, STYLISTICALLY, PENNY-WHISTLEY AND OTHERWISE -- WHAT REALLY STICKS WITH ME ARE THE SIMPLE SOLO VOCAL TURNS FROM CINDY, MARC, LISA, CURTIS AND FRANK, VOICES WE RARELY GET TO HEAR SO CLEARLY ABOVE THE DIN. IT MAY BE ON A DIFFERENT EMOTIONAL PLANE, BUT IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE REUNION TOUR'S VERSION OF "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND," THAT FEELING THAT EVERYONE HERE MATTERS, EVERYBODY PLAYS THEIR PART. (AND THEY CAN SING -- FRANK INCLUDED, WHO KNEW?) HEADING INTO THE ENCORE, BRUCE DELIVERED A SPECIAL PSA REGARDING THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER VOTE ON BRINGING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BACK TO WISCONSIN: "THE DEATH PENALTY WAS ABOLISHED HERE 153 YEARS AGO -- STRANGE THAT IT WOULD BE REINSTATED... ONE THINKS POLITICS MIGHT BE INVOLVED!" HE ENCOURAGED FOLKS TO BE VIGILANT, NOT TO BE "SUCKERED," AND TO "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT ISSUE." THAT LED INTO "MY CITY OF RUINS," WHICH, HONESTLY, I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR AGAIN AND STARTED TO TUNE OUT FOR A SEC... BUT WITH THE HORNS ON BOARD AND AN INCREDIBLE BUILDING GOSPEL VOCAL, THIS ONE SHOOK ME RIGHT BACK AWAKE. WHEN IT FINISHED, MY POP TURNED TO ME AND SAID, "THAT'S ABOUT AS GOOD AS I'VE HEARD THAT TUNE." AND I CAN'T ARGUE. GETTING READY TO ROLL OUT A BARRELL OF FUN WITH "RAMROD," BRUCE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE POLKA -- BUT I MISSED MOST OF IT DUE TO SOME DUDE YELLING "ARE YOU LOOSE?!" OVER AND OVER IN MY EAR. ONCE WAS FUN. OKAY, PAL, SO YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY... BUT THE MILWAUKEE BOMB SCARE SHOW WAS MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO NOW; I BET THAT PARTICULAR BUZZ HAS WORN OFF. THEN AGAIN, THE BAND WAS LOOSE IN THE BEST OF WAYS ALL NIGHT, AND BRUCE PROCEEDED TO BLOW A CHORUS IN "RAMROD," JUMPING TO THE KEY CHANGE TOO SOON, SO MAYBE THIS GUY WAS ONTO SOMETHING. AND THE WAY MARK PENDER IS ABLE TO ROCK THAT "RAMROD" TRUMPET SOLO DOWN FRONT, YOU'D THINK HE WAS ON SOME PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS. SO -- A BEAUT OF A SHOW; SADLY, PROBABLY MY LAST OF THE LEG, BUT IT'S GOOD TO END ON A HIGH, AND OF COURSE I'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP BRINGING THE REPORTS YOUR WAY COURTESY OF OUR INTREPID REPORTERS IN THE FIELD.

C23 - JUNE 17, 2006 DETROIT, MI / DTE ENERGY CENTER
NOTES: A BEAUTIFUL, WARM SUMMER NIGHT -- LOOKED PRETTY HOT ONSTAGE, ACTUALLY -- IN THE FAR NORTH SUBURBS OF DETROIT. AND WELL ATTENDED -- THE PAVILION WAS VIRTUALLY FULL, WITH THE BIGGEST LAWN CROWD SO FAR. "HELLO, PICNICKERS!" BRUCE HOLLERED. THERE WAS NO PIT TONIGHT, BUT THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY REAL EFFECT; THE CROWD WAS BOISTEROUS ENOUGH, AND THERE WAS NO NEED TO CALL FOR ANY DETROIT ASSES TO GET OUT OF ANY DETROIT SEATS. A VERY SIMILAR SET TO CLEVELAND, DROPPING "INTO THE FIRE" BUT ADDING "FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)" BEFORE "LONG TIME COMIN'." THE LATTER WAS AGAIN DEDICATED TO SON EVAN, WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN AT FIRST -- BRUCE SAID HE WAS PROBABLY ASLEEP BACKSTAGE, SINCE THEM TEENAGERS LIKE TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT -- BUT HE CAME OUT AFTER THE SONG TO BRING HIS POP A A GUITAR. PATTI REMAINS ABSENT, BUT WHEN A FAN CALLED OUT FOR HER, BRUCE SAID SHE'D "BE BACK SOON." SPEAKING OF MOMS, DAVE MARSH'S MOTHER GOT A SHOUT-OUT TONIGHT, WITH A DEDICATION OF "WE SHALL OVERCOME." DETROIT CRITIC AND FRIEND-OF-BACKSTREETS GARY GRAFF HAS A REVIEW OF THE SHOW AND AN INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES GIORDANO.

C23 - JUNE 19, 2006 SARATOGA, NY SARATOGA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 2CDR’S
NOTES: AS THE TOUR STOPS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, BRUCE SAYS, "WE MUST BE IN FOLK COUNTRY NOW... I KNOW PETE'S A COUPLE HOURS AWAY, AND HIS EARS MUST BE RINGING!" THOUGH HE DIDN'T SEEM TO RECALL IT HIMSELF, SPRINGSTEEN WAS RETURNING TO THIS VENUE AFTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES, SINCE EARLY ON THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. TOUR. ERIC EISENSTEIN TELLS US: "I'LL NEVER FORGET JULY 27, 1984 AT SPAC, WHERE MY LICENSE PLATES ("THE BOSS") WERE STOLEN DURING THE SHOW. WELL, BRUCE DID GIVE US 'JOHNNY 99' AGAIN AFTER 22 YEARS, THE RAINS STOPPED JUST LIKE ON THAT DAY, AND THE SHOW WAS AS BREATHTAKING AS THE ONE ON THAT MEMORABLE DAY. THANK GOODNESS SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE." A BIG CHEER FOR ALBANY IN "ERIE CANAL," AND "BUFFALO GALS" (REFERRING TO THE BURG, NOT THE BEAST) GETS AN EARLIER SLOT IN THE ENCORE, RIGHT AFTER "BRING THEM HOME." TO GREAT EFFECT, IT OUGHTTA BE SAID: "GALS" GOT EVERYONE UP AND DANCING, AND IT WAS A PARTICULARLY FINE VERSION -- LOTS OF SOLOS, INCLUDING AN EXTENDED TURN FROM GREG ON BANJO. SEE FOR YOURSELF ON AOL. "LONG TIME COMIN'" DROPS OUT BUT "FURTHER" STAYS IN, WITH THE FIRST "ADAM" SINCE COLUMBUS. NO APPEARANCE FROM PETE HIMSELF, BUT BRUCE TOOK A SEC BEFORE "WE SHALL OVERCOME" TO OBSERVE HIS LEGACY OF KEEPING THESE SONGS ALIVE: "THE BEAUTY OF A GREAT SONG IS IN THE DETAIL. MY GOOD FRIEND JACKSON BROWNE SAID, 'THE GOOD SONGS, THEY STAY WRITTEN, FOR THE GREATER GOOD.'"

C23 - JUNE 20, 2006CAMDEN, NJ CAMDEN TWEETER WATERFRONT AMPHITHEATRE 2 CDR’S
NOTES: FOR SOME SENSITIVE FOLKS, IT WAS A SHOW ON THE JERSEY SIDE... AND FOR THOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE, THIS WAS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE A PHILLY SHOW. AS BRUCE PUT IT, IT WAS A "RUMBLE IN NEW JERSEY!" FOR THIS SOLD-OUT, JAM-PACKED CONCERT. AND NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT, IT WAS A SPECIAL NIGHT, WITH BOTH SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY -- "THE GHOST OF NEW JERSEY!" -- AND JOE GRUSHECKY -- "THE GHOST OF PITTSBURGH!" -- JOINING IN THE HOOTENANNY. BACK IN HIS HOME TURF, BRUCE NAMECHECKED WALT WHITMAN AND OBSERVED, "LEAVES OF GRASS WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH"... YOU KNOW YOU'VE MADE IT "WHEN YOU'VE HAD A SERVICE AREA NAMED AFTER YOU." THE TOUR DEBUT AND FULL-BAND PREMIERE OF "MARIA'S BED" WAS SOMETHING OF A LET-DOWN -- "TRAIN WRECK," OUR PREVIOUS DESCRIPTOR, WAS TOO HARSH, IT WAS NO DISASTER... BUT THIS SLUGGISH, ALBUM-FAITHFUL VERSION FAILED TO IGNITE AND PUT A DRAG ON THE SHOW AFTER A HIGH-ENERGY OPENING SIX-PACK. THE SET CLOSED IN FINE FORM WITH SSJ ON HARP AND JOEY G. WIELDING HIS AXE ON "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN," WITH SOUTHSIDE HOLDING HIS OWN ONSTAGE AT CENTER MIC THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SET-ENDING SHTICK.

C23 - JUNE 22, 2006 NEW YORK, NY / MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
NOTES: "THIS IS AN IMMIGRANT SONG FOR NEW YORK CITY," SPRINGSTEEN SAID BEFORE TONIGHT'S NEW OPENING NUMBER -- NO, NOT A SONG OFF LED ZEPPELIN III, BUT AT THE MOMENT WE CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS, EITHER. A NEW SPRINGSTEEN SONG? MORE LIKELY A TRADITIONAL SONG WITH SOME NEW SPRINGSTEEN LYRICS. ON THE SETLIST AS "AMERICAN LAND," IT HAD A RECURRING REFRAIN OF "HOME IN THE AMERICAN LAND," BUT IT WASN'T "HE LIES IN THE AMERICAN LAND," DESPITE THAT SONG'S ASSOCIATION WITH PETE SEEGER AND THE SIMILARITY IN TITLE. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE AS WE KNOW IT.... IN ANY CASE, IT WAS CERTAINLY A WORLD PREMIERE, AN IRISH REEL WITH A CLANCY BROTHERS/TOMMY MAKEM FEEL TO IT; LYRICALLY, A VIVID PORTRAIT OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE IN THE VEIN OF RY COODER'S "ACROSS THE BORDERLINE." AT THE END, BRUCE HAD ONE MORE DEDICATION FOR IT: "FOR ALL YOU TRAVELERS OUT THERE." ALL SIX TOUR HORN PLAYERS WERE FEATURED, WITH CLARK AND CURT EXITING AFTER THE OPENER AND RETURNING TO THE STAGE FOR "POOR MAN" FORWARD. ALSO RETURNING TO THE FOLD WAS PATTI SCIALFA -- AFTER THE JUST-AS-LONG-ABSENT "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "SHE CAME OUT OF SEMI-RETIREMENT TO BE HERE TONIGHT!" DURING "OLD DAN TUCKER" BRUCE HELD A SING-OFF BETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY, BUT HE SAID THAT THIS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN SHOW WAS REALLY A TEST FOR THE BAND, PLAYING FOR "BLOODTHIRSTY NEW YORKERS." AND INDEED, THE CROWD RAN HOT AND COLD. BUT HERE IN THE CURRENT HOMETOWN OF THE MAX WEINBERG 7, THERE WAS A PARTICULARLY RABID RESPONSE FOR THE HORNS ON SONGS LIKE "JESSE JAMES" AND "OKLAHOMA HOME," AND "JACOB'S LADDER" PULLED 'EM ALL IN. IN THE ENCORE, "BRING THEM HOME" WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO FEATURE SPRINGSTEEN ALONE ON HARMONICA AND GUITAR, DEDICATED TO STEVE EARLE. ONE REALLY NICE TOUCH CAME AT THE END OF "PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN," WHEN THE PERSON WHO CAME OUT TO TELL TUBA PLAYER ART BARON "TIME TO GO" WAS NOT BRUCE AS USUAL, BUT ART'S MOTHER. AND JUDGING FROM HIS PRICELESS REACTION, IT CAME AS A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE -- QUITE A SENTIMENTAL MOMENT. MORE FAMILY AND FRIENDS TAKING IN THE GARDEN SHOW: BRUCE'S MOTHER AND AUNTS, STEVEN AND MAUREEN VAN ZANDT, MAX WEINBERG, TIM RUSSERT (WHOSE WIFE, MAUREEN ORTH, WROTE THE NEWSWEEK STORY IN '75), AND IN THE PIT, DAVE MARSH, JON LANDAU, AND BILL FLANAGAN.

C23 - JUNE 25, 2006 HOLMDEL, NJ / PNC BANK ARTS CENTER
NOTES: THE SECOND OF TWO AT THE PNC: A DRIER NIGHT, ANOTHER SOLD-OUT HOMECOMING SHOW, AND THE LAST OF THIS 18-NIGHT U.S. TOUR. BUT THERE WAS NO REAL AIR OF FINALITY TONIGHT -- THOUGH SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE CROWD, "THIS IS OUR LAST DATE HERE IN THE STATES," IT'S WELL-KNOWN THAT HE'LL BE TAKING THE SEEGER SESSIONS BAND BACK OUT FOR ANOTHER EUROPEAN JAUNT IN THE FALL. SO CONSIDER THIS ONE A "SEASON FINALE." AS AT THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR-ENDER, BRUCE HAD HIS FAMILY IN THE HOUSE: "MY BABIES ARE HERE!" HE ALSO REVEALED ONE OF THE THREATS HE USES TO KEEP HIS KIDS IN LINE: "THEY'RE NOT AFRAID OF ME ANYMORE... BUT THEY'RE AFRAID OF THE HORN SECTION!" AND WITH ALL SIX PLAYERS IN THE HORN LINE-UP TONIGHT, THE KIDS MUST HAVE BEEN ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR. THE SHOW OPENED WITH THE POGUES-ISH "AMERICAN LAND" FOR THE THIRD NIGHT RUNNING, AND WHILE SETLIST VARIATION ON THIS TOUR HAS BEEN MINIMAL, THIS SECOND OF TWO BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS IN THE SAME VENUE HAD BRUCE MAKING SURE TO SHAKE THINGS UP FOR REPEAT ATTENDEES. "LONG BLACK VEIL" CAME IN FOR "EYES ON THE PRIZE," WITH "LONG TIME COMIN'" AND "DEVILS & DUST" ALSO IN THE SET. "MY CITY OF RUINS" APPEARED TO BE AN AUDIBLE, WITH BRUCE STARTING ALONE AS HE HAS BEEN LATELY FOR "BRING THEM HOME" IN THAT FIRST ENCORE SLOT, BUT THE BAND QUICKLY COMING OUT TO JOIN IN. THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT, THOUGH, WAS THE CLOSING NUMBER, PLAYED ONLY ONCE PRIOR AT THE LAST ASBURY REHEARSAL SHOW: "THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE." IN TERMS OF SONG-CHOICE, THIS OLD CIRCUS STORY MAY BE KIND OF A HEAD-SCRATCHER, BUT AS BRUCE SAID, IT'S A "SONG THAT EXPLAINS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO... NOT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO -- WHAT WE'RE DOING." AND YEAH, IT NICELY SUGGESTS THE DERRING-DO OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT, THE ADVENTURE AND RISK AND FUN OF IT ALL, THE BIG TOP FEEL OF THIS HUGE BAND WORKING EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT A NET. WE'VE CERTAINLY GOTTEN OUR FAIR SHARE OF THRILLS AND CHILLS. STAY TUNED FOR NEXT LEG DATES AS SOON AS THEY'RE ANNOUNCED... AND IN THE MEANTIME, DON'T FORGET YOU CAN WATCH A SONG FROM EVERY SHOW OF THIS NOW-COMPLETED U.S. LEG AT AOL'S 18 NIGHTS OF BRUCE.

CASE 23 - SEPTEMBER 24 / ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL

NOTES: AND SO IT BEGINS! WELL, IT OFFICIALLY BEGINS NEXT WEEK IN HARTFORD, BUT TONIGHT ON THE ASBURY PARK BOARDWALK, FANS GOT A FIRST TASTE OF THE E STREET BAND'S MAGIC SHOW WITH THE FIRST OF THREE WARM-UP CONCERTS. AFTER SPENDING THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS WORKING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, BRUCE AND THE BAND WELCOMED THEIR FIRST AUDIENCE TO A 21-SONG PERFORMANCE THAT WAS STILL ROUGH, AS EXPECTED, BUT CLEARLY HOLDS A WHOLE LOT OF PROMISE.

THE OPENING WAS PARTICULARLY STRONG, BRUCE COMING OUT TO ASK THE CROWD, "IS ANYBODY ALIVE OUT THERE?" AND SLAMMING INTO "RADIO NOWHERE," WHICH WORKED EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD. THAT WENT STRAIGHT INTO "NO SURRENDER" AND "GYPSY BIKER," THE LATTER FEATURING WELL-DEVELOPED HEAD-TO-HEAD SOLOS FROM BRUCE AND STEVE. A BLISTERING OPENING THREE-PACK, AND A STRONG FIRST HALF-HOUR ALL AROUND. IF THE SHOW NEVER QUITE HUNG TOGETHER AFTER THAT -- SOMETIMES FLOWING, SOMETIMES SPUTTERING, STILL IN SEARCH OF AN ARC -- IT WAS JUST A REMINDER THAT THEY'RE STILL WORKING OUT KINKS. TRANSITIONS, PACING, LIGHTING, EVEN VIDEO, IT'S ALL BEING REHEARSED AND ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS AT THIS POINT. (THEY'VE GOT THE FULL ARENA STAGE SET UP INSIDE CONVENTION HALL, TAKING UP A GOOD DEAL OF THE FLOOR AND MAKING AN ALREADY INTIMATE SPACE EVEN SMALLER. NO WONDER TICKETS WERE SO HARD TO SCORE!)

BUT SOME INSPIRED SONG CHOICES HAVE US LOVING WHERE THIS THING IS HEADED: "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT," "NIGHT," THE PAIRING OF "CANDY'S ROOM" AND "SHE'S THE ONE," AND THE RETENTION OF OUR FAVORITE TWO RISING SONGS FROM THE BAND'S LAST BIG OUTING, "LONESOME DAY" AND "THE RISING." THE OLDIE-BUT-GOOFY "THUNDERCRACK" (WRITTEN WHILE BRUCE WAS "STILL IN THE WOMB," HE SAID) KICKED OFF THE ENCORE. MUCH AS BRUCE HAS BROKEN THIS ROLLICKING SHOWSTOPPER OUT IN RECENT YEARS (ON THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR AND AT HOLIDAY SHOWS), HE RIGHTLY POINTED OUT THAT'S IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME FOR THE E STREET BAND, AND EVEN THE FIRST TIME FOR SOME OF ITS MEMBERS. "AMERICAN LAND" WAS THE FINAL NUMBER, WITH THE E STREETERS TACKLING A SEEGER SESSIONS ARRANGEMENT. NOT HARD, NECESSARILY, WITH SOOZIE ON FIDDLE (YEP, SHE'S PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR, AS BRUCE PROMISED, ALSO PLAYING A GOOD DEAL OF ACOUSTIC GUITAR TONIGHT)... PLUS DOUBLE ACCORDION, AND CLARENCE ON PENNYWHISTLE (!)... BUT STILL A SOMEWHAT STRANGE CARRYOVER AS A SHOW FINALE.

LESSEE, WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW... THE SHOW RAN TWO HOURS ON THE NOSE, FROM 8:35 TO 10:35. EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD, LITTLE STEVEN IS NOTICEABLY TRIM WITH HIS SILVIO DANTE DAYS BEHIND HIM, AND CLARENCE IS IN GREAT FORM, TAKING A SEAT WHEN HE FEELS LIKE IT (ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM NOT TO?) BUT NAILING HIS PARTS. NOTABLE OMISSIONS: "BADLANDS"; BAND INTROS (OR ANY LENGTHY "TENTH AVENUE"- OR "MARY'S PLACE"-STYLE PRODUCTION NUMBER); ANYTHING FROM DEVILS & DUST. HERE'S THE SONG BREAKDOWN: 7 FROM MAGIC, 3 FROM BORN IN THE U.S.A., 3 FROM THE RISING, 3 FROM DARKNESS, 3 FROM BORN TO RUN, 1 FROM TRACKS, 1 FROM AMERICAN LAND. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW, BRUCE SAID THEY'D BE OFFERING UP "A FEW NEW ONES, A FEW OLD ONES, MAYBE A FEW MISTAKES, BUT I DOUBT IT." BY THE ENCORE, HE AMENDED THAT: "WELL... MAYBE THERE WERE A FEW MISTAKES!" THERE WILL SURELY BE MORE TOMORROW NIGHT. AND IT'S PRETTY RIGHTEOUS THAT, AS IS NOW A WELL-ESTABLISHED TRADITION, A COUPLE THOUSAND FANS GET TO BE THERE TO SEE 'EM.

CASE 23 - SEPTEMBER 25 / ASBURY PARK, NJ / CONVENTION HALL

NOTES: A HOT SHOW IN ASBURY TONIGHT, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. WHILE THE SWELTERING TEMPERATURE INSIDE CONVENTION HALL REMAINED BRUTAL FOR THIS SECOND OF TWO REHEARSAL BENEFITS, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS MUCH IMPROVED OVER NIGHT ONE. THERE'S STILL WORK TO BE DONE, BUT TRANSITIONS, PACING, ENERGY LEVEL (BRUCE'S AND THE BIG MAN'S IN PARTICULAR), ALL WERE NOTICEABLY IMPROVED -- EVEN THE SOUND WAS A GOOD DEAL BETTER, WITH SPEAKERS HUNG AND A MUCH CLEARER MIX. "WE'VE GOT OUR FEET UNDER US," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD AT THE BEGINNING, "WE'VE GOT OUR WHEELS TURNING A LITTLE BIT, WE DIDN'T FUCK UP TOO MUCH... AND TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING." WHICH THEY PRETTY MUCH DID -- STILL OPENING WITH "RADIO NOWHERE," BUT NOW CLOSING THE MAIN SET WITH "BADLANDS" AFTER "LONG WALK HOME" AND SHUFFLING MUCH IN BETWEEN. AN EFFECTIVE MOVE OF "LONESOME DAY" TO THE THIRD SLOT WAS KEY TO TIGHTENING THE SET-CLOSING RUN OF SONGS, FROM "BORN IN THE U.S.A." ON, REVEALING THERE HEART OF THE SHOW. IT WAS AN INSPIRED REARRANGEMENT OF THE SET THAT BROUGHT THE SHOW TO A REAL CLIMAX, CAPPED BY A STREAMLINED-FOR-MAXIMUM-EFFICIENCY "BADLANDS." ALONG THE WAY THEY WORKED IN FIVE SONGS NOT PLAYED ON NIGHT ONE: IN ADDITION TO "BORN IN THE U.S.A." AND "BADLANDS," THERE WAS "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT," "MAGIC," AND PATTI SCIALFA'S "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK," FEATURING BRUCE AND PATTI SHARING VOCALS. BRUCE TALKED MUCH MORE TONIGHT AS WELL, WITH A MUCH MORE DEVELOPED RAP IN "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE" AND MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE NEW MATERIAL IN GENERAL. DESPITE WORD THAT MAGIC IS NOT A POLITICAL RECORD, HE MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT HIS NEW SONGS ARE OF COURSE VERY MUCH INSPIRED BY CURRENT EVENTS: "DEVIL'S ARCADE" WAS DEDICATED TO IRAQ WAR VETERANS; THE "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE" RAP ENUMERATED "THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT AS AMERICAN" LIKE "HOT DOGS, HAMBURGERS (FROM THE WINDMILL!)" AND ADDED TO THE LIST "ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING, TORTURE, VOTER SUPPRESSION." "MAGIC," HE EXPLAINED, GOT ITS TITLE FROM "THE TIMES WE'RE LIVING IN: WHEN WE CAN MAKE A LIE SEEM TRUE, AND THE TRUTH SEEM A LIE -- SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT MAGIC." "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES," MOVED TO KICK OFF THE ENCORE, WAS DEDICATED TO THOSE LISTENING ON THE BEACH (AND DOORS WERE OPENED TONIGHT FOR THEIR BENEFIT). "AMERICAN LAND," STILL THE FINAL SONG OF THE NIGHT, GOT SOME HELP FROM TWO SESSIONS BAND MEMBERS, BASSIST JEREMY CHATZKY AND TRUMPETER CURT RAMM. THANKING EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT AND HELPING SPREAD SOME MONEY TO LOCAL CHARITIES, BRUCE ALSO ENCOURAGED FOLKS TO CHECK OUT THE SHOPS ON COOKMAN AVENUE, AND TO VISIT THE WONDER BAR, CLOSING SOON. IN ALL, A GREAT DEAL OF RUST HAS BEEN SHAKEN OFF OVER THE COURSE OF THESE TWO SHOWS -- HAVING "GUNIEA PIGS," AS BRUCE PUT IT TONIGHT, CLEARLY GOES A LONG WAY. MAY THE TREND CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT.

CASE 23 - SEPTEMBER 28 / E. RUTHERFORD, NJ / CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA

NOTES: AFTER THE MORNING'S PERFORMANCE ON THE TODAY SHOW IN NEW YORK, IT WAS ACROSS THE RIVER TO THE JERSEY SIDE THAT NIGHT, WHERE BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "I STILL GOT MY PAJAMAS ON UNDER MY CLOTHES! IT WAS TOO EARLY!" HE WELCOMED EVERYBODY TO "THE LAST NIGHT OF E STREET BOOT CAMP," A 22-SONG REHEARSAL SHOW THAT GOT OFF TO A LATE START, A LITTLE PAST 9. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE: IT WAS A REHEARSAL, VISIBLE NOT ONLY IN THE EERINESS OF THE DRAPED-OFF, MOSTLY-EMPTY CONFINES OF THE BUILDING THAT'S USUALLY FULL FOR SUCH AN OCCASION, BUT ALSO IN THE OCCASIONAL CUE TO ONE BAND MEMBER OR ANOTHER FOR MORE THIS OR THAT, OR IN A TRANSITION FROM ONE SONG TO THE NEXT THAT STILL NEEDS WORK. LOVING THAT "CANDY'S ROOM"/"SHE'S THE ONE" PAIRING, WHICH WAS BACK LAST NIGHT -- THEY JUST GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW ONE GETS TO THE OTHER. OVERALL, THOUGH, SPRINGSTEEN APPEARS TO HAVE A SHOW THAT'S READY FOR ITS FORMAL DEBUT ON TUESDAY IN HARTFORD. THOUGH READY-MADES LIKE "BADLANDS" "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," AND "THE PROMISED LAND" (ITS FOURTH PERFORMANCE ON THIS DAY) ARE RETURNING TO DUTY, THIS IS A NEW SHOW. THE BIG SURPRISE: A COMPLETELY NEW, FULL-BAND ARRANGEMENT OF "REASON TO BELIEVE," THAT BORROWS EQUALLY FROM THE DEVILS & DUST TOUR AND Z.Z. TOP. WE'LL CALL IT THE "LA GRANGE" ARRANGEMENT, AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE BULLET MIC ON THE D&D TOUR, WE BET YOU'LL LIKE IT HERE -- LESS DISTORTION, JUST A GREAT EFFECT FOR DOWN-AND-DIRTY ROCK. ALSO GREAT TO GET "THE TIES THAT BIND" IN THE SECOND SLOT. SUPERB GUITAR WORK IN SPOTS: STEVE VAN ZANDT EMERGES TO TAKE "GYPSY BIKER" TO A LEVEL IT MAY NOT HAVE REACHED OTHERWISE; AND ON "THUNDERCRACK," BRUCE AND NILS REACH GREAT HEIGHTS ON THOSE EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL PASSAGES. MORE TEAMWORK: BRUCE AND PATTI AGAIN PERFORMED "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK," AND HERE, MS. SCIALFA GETS A BONA FIDE MOMENT OF HER OWN WHILE NOT BREAKING THE FLOW OF THE SHOW. SESSIONS BAND PLAYERS LISA LOWELL AND LARRY EAGLE JOINED IN ON MARACAS FOR THE SHOW-CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND," AFTER WHICH BRUCE HOLLERED, "BOOT CAMP IS COMPLETE!" STEVEN TOOK THAT TO HEART, OFFERING A MILITARY-STYLE SALUTE TO ANYONE LOOKING HIS WAY. BRUCE HAD ONE MORE THING TO SAY BEFORE LEAVING THE STAGE, AS IF JUST REMEMBERING HIMSELF THAT THIS WHOLE THING HASN'T EVEN BEGUN YET: "AND WE'LL BE BACK! JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS!"

CASE 23 - SEPTEMBER 28 / NEW YORK, NY / ROCKEFELLER PLAZA

NOTES: THIS DAY STARTED EARLY AND ENDED LATE FOR THE E STREET BAND, WRAPPING UP WHAT BRUCE CALLED "E STREET BOOT CAMP" WITH TWO PERFORMANCES IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. IN NYC, THEY WERE ON STAGE WELL BEFORE THE CRACK OF DAWN, DOING A FULL-HALF HOUR SET FOR THE TODAY SHOW SOUNDCHECK STARTING AT 6 A.M. PRETTY SURREAL TO SEE THOSE LIGHTS AND SOUNDS STREAMING OUT OF ROCKEFELLER PLAZA WHILE MUCH OF THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS WAS STILL SLEEPING. A GOOD NUMBER OF DIE-HARDS DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL, LIKE RALPH AND JOAN TRECASO, WHO CAME FROM CLEVELAND (GO TRIBE!) AND SPENT ALL NIGHT ON 48TH STREET IN ORDER TO GET IN. "SEE YOU IN DAYLIGHT," BRUCE SAID AS THE BAND LEFT THE OUTDOOR STAGE AT 6:30, "THANKS FOR BEING SO LIVELY THIS MORNING!" WITH CAMERAS ROLLING, THE BAND WAS BACK ON AT 8 A.M. FOR "THE PROMISED LAND," AND THEN AGAIN FOR THE MAIN COURSE BETWEEN 8:30 AND 9, ANOTHER FULL HALF-HOUR THAT OPENED WITH THE DAY'S THIRD "PROMISED LAND" AND CLOSED WITH A SURPRISE AUDIBLE OF "NIGHT." THERE IN THE CROWD WE COULD HARDLY HEAR A WORD OF THE INTERVIEW SEGMENTS, ONLY PARTLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE BROOOCING, BUT THE MUSIC SPOKE VOLUMES. OF THE SEVERAL MORNING SHOWS BRUCE HAS DONE IN RECENT YEARS, I'D SAY THAT'S THE MOST AWAKE AND NOT-IN-NEED-OF-COFFEE WE'VE SEEN HIM. AND IT STILL WASN'T OVER -- THEY WERE BACK ON AT 9:30 FOR TWO MORE SONGS. CONSIDERING MOST TODAY CONCERTS ARE A HANDFUL OF SONGS AT BEST, IT WAS QUITE A LOT OF BANG FOR NO BUCKS, FOR BOTH TEEVEE VIEWERS AND THOSE WHO STAYED UP ALL NIGHT.

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 2 / HARTFORD, CT / HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER

NOTES: THE OFFICIAL KICK-OFF OF THE MAGIC TOUR COMES ON BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN DAY, AS IT WAS DECLARED BY CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR JODI RELL. BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND TOOK THE HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER STAGE AT 8:25 AND PLAYED A TWO-HOUR-AND-20-MINUTE SHOW, STICKING PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BASIC SET THEY'D ESTABLISHED AT LAST WEEK'S WARM-UP CONCERTS. BUT IN A FULL ARENA, AS OPPOSED TO THE FEW THOUSAND PEOPLE THEY PLAYED FOR AT THE REHEARSALS, THERE'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT ENERGY LEVEL IN THE ROOM, AND BRUCE AND THE BAND UPPED THEIR GAME ACCORDINGLY. A FEW ROUGH SPOTS, AS TO BE EXPECTED ON OPENING NIGHT, AND PACING ISSUES REMAIN, BUT THEY'VE BEEN MAKING PROGRESS EVERY NIGHT, THE SHOW JUST GETTING BETTER AND TIGHTER. IN FACT, COULD THIS BE THE BEST E STREET BAND OPENING NIGHT YET? CERTAINLY MORE CYLINDERS FIRING FROM THE GET-GO THAN ON THE RISING TOUR, AND WITH BRUCE AND THE BAND IN GREAT SPIRITS, LAUGHING WITH EACH OTHER, IT WAS VERY LOOSE AND COMFORTABLE FOR A FIRST SHOW. THERE'S A REASON FOR THOSE WARM-UPS, HUH? THE OPENING BARRAGE IS A POWERHOUSE, WITH "TIES" WICKEDLY TIGHT, AND THERE WAS ALSO A PARTICULARLY POWERFUL THREE-PACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET: "REASON TO BELIEVE" INTO "NIGHT" INTO "SHE'S THE ONE." AS ONE FAN ELOQUENTLY TOLD ME: "WOWZA!" THIS NEW ARRANGEMENT OF "REASON" REMAINS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW, ASIDE FROM HEARING THE NEW STUFF LIVE. NO ADDITIONAL SONGS FROM MAGIC OTHER THAN WHAT HAD BEEN REHEARSED; THE ONLY SONG ADDED TO THE SET TONIGHT WAS A STRAIGHTFORWARD "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN," REPLACING "BORN IN THE U.S.A." "DARKNESS" WAS AN AUDIBLE, AND IT SEEMED LIKE BRUCE USED IT AS A PLACE OF COMFORT, TO REFOCUS HIMSELF AND THE BAND AFTER "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK," WHICH IS STILL TRYING TO FIND ITS WAY IN TERMS OF CONNECTING WITH THE CROWD. IN THE ENCORE, NOT MANY IN THE HARTFORD CROWD SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE "THUNDERCRACK," BUT "BORN TO RUN" HAD THEM GOING NUTS. ON THE SHOW-CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND," A TRIO OF GALS IN THE PIT WERE MOVED TO DANCE AN IRISH JIG. AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THING? BEFORE THE BAND CAME OUT, A CRAZY MUSICAL CONTRAPTION ROSE UP ON STAGE, LOOKING LIKE IT MIGHT BECOME PART OF THE MAGIC SHOW (WHICH WOULD ALMOST TOP THE KITCHEN SINK FROM THE SESSIONS TOUR). IT DISAPPEARED AS THE CONCERT GOT UNDERWAY, BUT LEFT SOME FANS SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. TURNS OUT IT WAS A RESTORED CALLIOPE THAT BRUCE HAD JUST BEEN GIVEN AS A GIFT, HE FIGURED HE'D SHOW IT OFF. WATCH FOR BRUCE'S NEW TIE IN PHILLY!

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 5 / PHILADELPHIA, PA / WACHOVIA CENTER

NOTES: SEEMINGLY TOO EARLY IN THE TOUR TO BLOW MINDS WITH ANY PHILLY-ONLY SPECIALS, SPRINGSTEEN DID AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE HIS LONG HISTORY WITH THE CITY AS HE INTRODUCED "THUNDERCRACK": "I PLAYED THIS SONG IN PHILADELPHIA BEFORE THE LIBERTY BELL GOT CRACKED.... IN FACT, I THINK THIS ONE CRACKED IT!" THIS BEING THE SECOND SHOW OF THE TOUR PROPER, IT'S A RELATIVELY STABLE SET SO FAR, WITH FOUR SONG SWAP-OUTS FROM OPENING NIGHT: "NO SURRENDER" CAME IN FOR "TIES THAT BIND," "CANDY'S ROOM" FOR "NIGHT," THE TOUR DEBUT OF "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" FOR "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK," AND "MY HOMETOWN" FOR "DARKNESS." “RADIO NOWHERE" INTO "NO SURRENDER" IS A POWERFUL OPENER, AND THERE'S THAT THREE-PACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET THAT JUST SMOKES -- TONIGHT IT WAS REASON / CANDY / SHE'S THE ONE. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER THREE-PACK (BRILLIANT / HOMETOWN / DARLINGTON) THAT FAILED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE MOMENTUM OF A SHOW THAT WAS REALLY COOKING ALONG UP TO THAT POINT. A HALLMARK OF SPRINGSTEEN CONCERTS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WELL-PLOTTED ARC, HIS STEADY-HANDED STEERING THROUGH PEAKS AND VALLEYS OF ENERGY AND EMOTION. ON THIS OUTING SO FAR, WITH "MY HOMETOWN" DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO BEING A DEAD SPOT TONIGHT (PARTICULARLY FRUSTRATING FOR ANYONE WHO GLIMPSED "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" AS ITS ALTERNATE ON THE SETLIST), HE'S STILL WORKING ON NEGOTIATING THOSE VALLEYS. THE PEAKS ARE HIGH. SURE, THERE WAS A TO-BE-EXPECTED OVERALL DROP IN ENERGY FROM OPENING NIGHT, BUT BRUCE WAS IN FINE SPIRITS TONIGHT AND STEVE WAS ESPECIALLY ANIMATED, AND THE BAND JUST CONTINUES TO GET BETTER. AND THEY AIN'T THROUGH WITH PHILLY YET -- AS BRUCE SAID AT THE END, "SEE YA TOMORROW!"

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 6 / PHILADELPHIA, PA / WACHOVIA CENTER

NOTES: ONLY THREE SHOWS INTO THE TOUR, AND BRUCE AND THE BAND HAVE FOUND THAT NEXT LEVEL. CHALK IT UP TO THE LOCALE, TO IT BEING THE SECOND SHOW OF A STAND, TO THEIR DETERMINATION TO RISE UP TO A CHALLENGE, WHATEVER -- PHILLY 2 WAS AN ELECTRIC SHOW. THAT WAS SIGNIFIED RIGHT OUT OF THE THE GATE WITH "NIGHT," A REAL SHOT IN THE ARM AS THE OPENER, BUMPING "RADIO NOWHERE" TO THE SECOND SLOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN ALL THERE WERE SEVEN SONGS NOT PLAYED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, MOST OF WHICH SERVED TO ELEVATE THIS VERY HIGH-ENERGY SHOW. "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK" WAS SUDDENLY TRANSFORMED, WITH A FULL-BAND TREATMENT AND A PARTICULARLY HAPPENING ORGAN INTRO. THAT SONG WENT RIGHT INTO A TRUE PHILLY SPECIAL, "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" -- WHICH THEY NAILED. ODDS WOULD HAVE SEEMED AGAINST SUCH A THING THIS EARLY IN A TOUR.... BUT HEY, IT'S MAGIC. (AND "INCIDENTALLY," THAT'LL TEACH ANYONE WHO DECIDED TO HIT THE BATHROOM DURING THE PATTI SONG.) NEXT UP WAS THE WILDEST ONE OF THE NIGHT, A COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS "CADILLAC RANCH." A TRUE AUDIBLE, BRUCE IMPULSIVELY CALLED FOR SOLOS LEFT AND RIGHT, CATCHING STEVE IN PARTICULAR OFF GUARD, AND PUSHING SOOZIE TO CENTER STAGE TO COUNTRIFY THE SONG A BIT. IN THE ENCORE, "DANCING IN THE DARK" WAS ALSO RAMSHACKLE BUT RIGHT, WORKING REALLY, REALLY WELL AS A REPLACEMENT FOR "SUNNY DAY."

FOR ALL OUR TALK ABOUT REHEARSALS HONING THE NEW SONGS, CHOPS, TRANSITIONS, PACING, YADDA YADDA YADDA... ALL THOSE THINGS HAVE TO BE THERE, SURE, THAT'S THE FOUNDATION (AND YOU DON'T THINK "INCIDENT" SOUNDS THAT GOOD WITHOUT PRACTICE, RIGHT?), BUT THIS ONE DEMONSTRATED THAT WHAT REALLY MAKES FOR A POWERFUL SHOW IS SPONTANEITY, ENERGY, AND A VENTURE OR TWO OFF THE MAP. KEEP KEEPIN' 'EM ON THEIR TOES, BRUCE. IF FRIDAY WAS A BIT WOBBLY, THEY FIXED ALL THOSE WHEELS FOR TONIGHT, CLEARLY THE BEST MAGIC SHOW YET.

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 9 / E. RUTHERFORD, NJ / CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA

NOTES: WELL, SATURDAY NIGHT IN PHILLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HARD TO TOP NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED AT THIS SHOW. NOT THAT BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS DIDN'T TRY -- THE STORY THE SETLIST DOESN'T TELL IS THAT THEY WERE ON FIRE TONIGHT. CAN'T SAY THE SAME OF THE JERSEY CROWD, THOUGH. "TAKE 'REASON TO BELIEVE,'" SAYS ONE GUY WHO SAW BOTH SHOWS. "IN PHILLY, EVERYONE WAS SINGING ALONG. TONIGHT, THEY WERE SITTING ON THEIR ASSES." LATER IN THE SHOW BRUCE NEEDLED HIS FELLOW NEW JERSEYANS, "PHILLY WAS MUCH LOUDER THAN THIS!" AN OLD SHOWBIZ TRICK, OF COURSE, AND THE AUDIENCE WENT NUTS IN RESPONSE... BUT YOU GOT THE SENSE BRUCE WASN'T REALLY JOKING. SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, SEEMINGLY WITH ROY'S ELECTRIC PIANO, PROMPTED SOME SETLIST SWITCH-UPS, RIGHT IN THAT MIDDLE SECTION WHERE SPRINGSTEEN STILL SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH WHAT TO DO. AN AUDIBLED "DARKNESS" SUBBED IN FOR "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK," AND (SPEAKING OF HEARTBREAK) THE SETLISTED "INCIDENT"/"BACKSTREETS" AND "YOU CAN LOOK" SLOTS WERE FILLED BY "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" AND "DARLINGTON COUNTY." "DARLINGTON" DID AT LEAST BRING SOME SIGNS OF LIFE FROM THE JERSEY CROWD. AND OVERALL, DESPITE THOSE FEW OBSTACLES, THIS WAS A VERY STRONG PERFORMANCE -- VERY HIGH ENERGY FROM THE BAND, THE GUITAR SOLOS IN "GYPSY BIKER" CONTINUE TO ASTOUND, BRUCE EVEN WORKED SOME OF HIS "BOOGALOO" DANCE MOVES INTO "DANCING IN THE DARK," HAVING A LAUGH ON HIMSELF.

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 10 / E. RUTHERFORD, NJ / CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ARENA

NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN WAS A MAN ON A MISSION TONIGHT -- VERY ON, VERY PUMPED, AND PUTTING ON A "THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE" KIND OF SHOW AT THE MEADOWLANDS. THIS ONE HIT ALL GENERATIONS OF FANS, STRETCHING OUT TO 25 SONGS, WITH NO LESS THAN FOUR TOUR PREMIERES. NOT THE KIND OF SHOW JERSEY OFTEN GETS, FRANKLY. BUT FOR THIS LAST SCHEDULED STOP IN HIS HOME STATE -- WHICH FOUND BRUCE REPEATING, "LET ME HEAR FROM MY HOMIES!" -- HE WAS CLEARLY DETERMINED TO DELIVER. ANYONE WITH VH1 GOT TO SEE THAT OPENING THREE-FER, A DELICIOUS "NIGHT" SANDWICH... BUT THE BIG SURPRISES CAME AFTER THE CAMERAS WERE OFF. THE TOUR DEBUT OF "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" WAS SHIT HOT AND ROCKING, TO QUOTE A FAVORITE OLD BOOTLEG TITLE; "CYNTHIA," AN AUDIBLE (AND ONLY THE SECOND TIME THE E STREET BAND HAS DONE THIS ONE LIVE), KICKED ASS, TOO. THE LIVE DEBUT OF "YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY" CAME WITH A FEW FALSE STARTS, DANNY STARTING THINGS OFF AT FIRST, THEN A CHANGE OF GUITARS... BRUCE SAID IT WAS A "DEBATE SOCIETY" UP THERE. ONCE THEY GOT THIS "NEVER BEFORE ATTEMPTED" MAGIC SONG GOING, THOUGH, IT WAS A SUCCESS. (WELL, TO US, ANYWAY. BRUCE SAID AFTERWARDS, "THAT'S CLOSE!") STRANGELY, THERE WAS A BIGGER RESPONSE FOR THIS ONE THAN FOR TONIGHT'S "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET." BUT THE JERSEY CROWD HAS ITS OWN SENSIBILITIES: BASED ON THE CHEERS FOR THE ITEMS ON HIS LIST OF WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT, BRUCE REMARKED, "AH, THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS UNDER MAX'S HOT DOGS, THAT'S NOT GOOD!" THE FOURTH TOUR PREMIERE, "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)," FEATURED SOME FIERY GUITAR SOLOS, AND A PARTICULARLY FINE PERFORMANCE FROM THE BIG MAN: "HEY YOU! GET OUT THE CAR!" IN THE ENCORE, "THUNDERCRACK" WAS DEDICATED TO "OUR GOOD FRIEND LENNY KAYE," THE DEAN OF GARAGE ROCK, PATTI SMITH GROUP GUITARIST, AND CURATOR OF THE ORIGINAL NUGGETS. KAYE WAS IN THE PIT TONIGHT, AND AS HE SAID TO A FRIEND AS "AMERICAN LAND" WRAPPED UP THE SHOW: "...AND A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL."

CASE 23 - OCTOBER 14 / OTTAWA, ON / SCOTIABANK PLACE

NOTES: FOUR MORE TOUR PREMIERES TONIGHT, INCLUDING "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" (AN AUDIBLE, IN THE "HEARTBREAK"/"BRILLIANT" SLOT ON THE SETLIST) AND "BACKSTREETS." BUT WHEN THE SPOT-ON DEBUT OF "BACKSTREETS" ISN'T THE BIG STORY OF THE NIGHT, YOU KNOW SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED. YEP, IN THE SIX-SONG ENCORE, BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS WERE JOINED BY MEMBERS OF ARCADE FIRE, HUSBAND-AND-WIFE BAND CO-FOUNDERS WIN BUTLER AND RÉGINE CHASSAGNE. FIRST UP WAS "STATE TROOPER," A SONG ARCADE FIRE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO COVER, AND WHICH THE E STREET BAND HASN'T PLAYED LIVE SINCE THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. TOUR. AFTER THAT, THEY ALL WENT INTO "KEEP THE CAR RUNNING," A HARD-HITTING TRACK FROM ARCADE FIRE'S MAGNIFICENT NEON BIBLE. [STREAM THE ALBUM VERSION HERE.] WE'RE ALWAYS HOPING FOR MORE COVERS IN THE SET, ANY CHANCE THIS ONE STAYS IN? NO? WELL, THE CHANCES WEREN'T GOOD THAT IT'D GET PLAYED IN THE FIRST PLACE, EITHER... SO WE CAN DREAM. IN ANY CASE, QUITE A CURVEBALL IN THE INDIE BAND'S HOMELAND, AND A CROSS-GENERATIONAL MINGLING OF TALENT ON PAR WITH THE R.E.M. TEAM-UP OF 2004. UPDATE: ACTUALLY, UPON REFLECTION, AF'S APPEARANCE HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH EDDIE VEDDER'S, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF BESTOWING THE ULTIMATE HONOR IN A GUEST SPOT: THE E STREET BAND LEARNS YOUR SONG, AND YOU PEFORM IT WITH THEM. DIG THE VIDEO AT PITCHFORK.COM.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 15 / TORONTO, ON / AIR CANADA CENTRE

NOTES: FOR THE BACK HALF OF THEIR TWO-SHOW JAUNT TO CANADA, BRUCE PULLED OUT MORE OF A STANDARD SET. NO ARCADE FIRE REPEAT PERFORMANCE; THAT WAS A ONE-OFF FOR OTTAWA ONLY. BUT THE NIGHTLY TOUR DEBUTS CONTINUE -- TONIGHT'S WAS A BRISK "FOR YOU" -- DEMONSTRATING HOW REMARKABLY ON THEIR METTLE THE BAND IS FOR THIS EARLY IN THE TOUR. ANOTHER GOLDEN OLDIE, "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" WAS DEDICATED TO HUMPHREY KADANER, PRESIDENT OF HMV CANADA AND A LONGTIME BRUCE FAN, WHO PERSONALLY GUARANTEED HIS CUSTOMERS THAT THEY'D LOVE MAGIC OR GET THEIR MONEY BACK. THIS WAS KADANER'S 87TH SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT. THE CROWD AT THIS SOLD-OUT SHOW (THERE WERE A COUPLE THOUSAND EMPTY SEATS IN OTTAWA -- KEEP KICKING YOURSELVES, A.F. FANS!) ATE IT ALL UP. THEY CLEARLY KNEW THE NEW MATERIAL, AND WHILE THE MORE OBSCURE "THUNDERCRACK" DIDN'T SEEM TO RING BELLS FOR MANY, IT WOUND UP BEING VERY WELL RECEIVED. IT DIDN'T HURT THAT THE BAND ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. NO ONE WAS COMPLAINING NINE NIGHTS AGO IN PHILLY, BUT SINCE THEN THE CONFIDENCE, THE PACING, THE TIGHTNESS, HAVE ALL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED. ALSO DURING THAT TIME, "DANCING IN THE DARK" (WITH THE HOUSE LIGHTS STAYING UP, FOLLOWING "BORN TO RUN") HAS FOUND A CONSISTENT HOME AS THE NIGHT'S PENULTIMATE SONG, REPLACING "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" FOR A MUCH STRONGER ENCORE. THIS IS A SHOW, AND A BAND, THAT'S READY TO TAKE MANHATTAN.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 17 / NEW YORK, NY / MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

NOTES: A SOLID, FUN SHOW FOR NIGHT ONE AT THE GARDEN. SPRINGSTEEN WASN'T IN MAN-ON-A-MISSION MODE, HE JUST SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING HIMSELF THOROUGHLY. NOT TO SUGGEST THERE WASN'T PLENTY OF POWER ON THAT STAGE: "BACKSTREETS" KICKED ASS, AND THE "REASON"/"ADAM"/"SHE'S THE ONE" TRIFECTA IS HARD TO DENY. BUT THERE WAS JUST MORE OF THE RELAXED FEEL THAT COMES WITH THIS KIND OF "FRIENDS AND FAMILY" SHOW. SPOTTED IN THE CROWD: JAMES GANDOLFINI, THE KILLERS, AND BONO (WHO WAS RUMORED FOR A GUEST SPOT, BUT DIDN'T LEAVE HIS SEAT ALL NIGHT). AT THE END OF "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" BRUCE DROPPED A BEACH BOYS REFERENCE (BESIDES THE SONG ITSELF), SAYING, "I WISH THEY ALL COULD BE NEW YORK CITY GIRLS...." AND HE CAST HIS MIND BACK TO HIS EARLY DAYS IN THE CITY FOR "THUNDERCRACK": "THIS WAS OUR SHOW CLOSER WHEN WE FIRST PLAYED MAX'S KANSAS CITY. IT WAS US AND THE WAILERS -- THAT WAS A GOOD BILL." I'LL SAY. DURING "DANCING IN THE DARK," BRUCE HOLLERED, "C'MON, STEVIE -- LET'S DANCE!" AND STEVE DIDN'T DISAPPOINT, GOING RIGHT INTO THE MONKEY. IT WAS THAT KIND OF NIGHT.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 18 / NEW YORK, NY / MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

NOTES: NIGHT TWO AT THE GARDEN, WITH SIX SONGS NOT PLAYED LAST NIGHT, INCLUDING THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" AND "JUNGLELAND" (PLAYED BACK-TO-BACK, NATCH). SPRINGSTEEN INTRODUCED THE PAIR WITH A DEDICATION TO THE LATE PETER BOYLE: "AN OLD FRIEND PASSED AWAY A WHILE BACK -- WE MET HIM WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO NEW YORK CITY... TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS BIRTHDAY." "MEETING" FEATURED JUST BRUCE, ROY ON PIANO, AND GARRY ON STAND-UP BASS. A TRAINSPOTTING NOTE: THE "TWO GRAND" PRACTICALLY SITTING IN THE SINGER'S POCKET IS NOW "THREE GRAND" -- CHALK IT UP TO INFLATION. ON "JUNGLELAND," CLARENCE DID HIMSELF VERY PROUD WITH THE SAX SOLO, AND HIS BOSS WAS SMILING EAR-TO-EAR. OTHER RARITIES IN THE SET WERE "TOUGHER THAN THE REST" AND "YOU CAN LOOK." WHILE BRUCE ALWAYS WANTS THE ASSES OUT OF THE SEATS, TONIGHT HE WAS NOTICEABLY WORKING HARD TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN THE CROWD WAS INTO IT. HE WAS PARTICULARLY INTO IT HIMSELF ON THAT EVER-INTENSE THREE-PACK FROM "REASON TO BELIEVE" THROUGH "SHE'S THE ONE," THIS TIME WITH "CANDY'S ROOM" BETWEEN. BANTER INCLUDED HAWKING OF NEW WARES -- "WE'VE GOT A NEW LINE OF E STREET BAND SEXUAL TOYS. WHAT WE USE IN THE COMFORT OF OUR OWN HOME, YOU CAN USE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME" (STRANGELY, THE MERCH TABLES SEEMED TO BE SOLD OUT AFTER THE SHOW) -- AS WELL AS MORE PLAYING ON THE RIVALRY BETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. NOT FORGETTING WHERE HE WAS, THOUGH, HE CAME OUT FOR THE ENCORE AFTER A RARE COSTUME CHANGE, WEARING A BLACK "NEW YORK CITY" T-SHIRT. NOTABLE GUESTS IN THE CROWD INCLUDED HOWARD STERN AND HIS STAFF, BETTE MIDLER, AND CAROLINE KENNEDY. NOTABLE GUESTS ONSTAGE WERE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE SESSIONS BAND, JOINING OLD BANDMATES SOOZIE, PATTI, BRUCE AND THE REST FOR THE SHOW-CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND": LISA LOWELL ON VOCALS, JEREMY CHATZKY ON BASS, LARRY EAGLE ON PERCUSSION, CHARLIE GIORDANO AT ROY'S PIANO (WHLLE THE PROFESSOR PLAYED ACCORDION), AND GREG LISZT ON BANJO.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 21 / CHICAGO, IL / UNITED CENTER

NOTES: HEADING INTO TONIGHT'S SHOW, THE FIRST OF TWO IN CHI-TOWN, A FRIEND OF MINE (WHO CAN'T MAKE IT FOR SHOW #2) WAS CONCERNED ABOUT "FIRST NIGHT SYNDROME" -- IN WHICH THE FIRST OF A TWO-NIGHT STAND GETS A STRAIGHT "MODEL A" SETLIST, WITH ALL THE RARITIES SAVED FOR NIGHT TWO. NO WORRIES THIS TIME. WHO KNOWS, BRUCE MAY GO COMPLETELY OFF THE MAP TOMORROW, BUT CHICAGO 1 GOT A NICE BATCH OF WILD CARDS. "NO SURRENDER" HAD ONLY ITS THIRD TOUR AIRING, "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" WAS THE MEAT IN THAT ALWAYS-TASTY "REASON"/"SHE'S THE ONE" SANDWICH, AND CHECK OUT THE POST-"PROMISED LAND" THREE-PACK: "YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY" (PLAYED TONIGHT FOR THE SECOND TIME EVER), "BACKSTREETS," AND "CADILLAC RANCH." PATTI WAS ABSENT TONIGHT, AND BRUCE DEDICATED "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" TO HER: "PATTI SENDS HER REGARDS... IT'S A KID THING, THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YA!" THE BAND'S OTHER REDHEAD, SOOZIE TYRELL, CAME DOWNSTAGE FROM BEHIND THE PIANO TO TAKE PATTI'S SPOT, EVEN DUETING WITH BRUCE ON "MAGIC." INTRODUCING "THUNDERCRACK" AS HIS ORIGINAL SHOWSTOPPER, BRUCE SAID THAT THE SONG "GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE QUIET KNIGHT DAYS." THE QUIET KNIGHT WAS A CHICAGO CLUB THAT NO LONGER EXISTS -- SPRINGSTEEN PLAYED A FIVE-NIGHT STAND THERE, OPENING FOR THE PERSUASIONS, BACK IN 1973. SENSING THAT THE REFERENCE MIGHT NOT MEAN MUCH TO SOME IN THE CROWD, BRUCE ADDED, "THAT WAS WAY BACK BEFORE THE FIRE."

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 22 / CHICAGO, IL / UNITED CENTER

NOTES: WHAT WAS THAT I SAID YESTERDAY ABOUT FIRST NIGHT SYNDROME? NOT THAT CHICAGO 1 WAS AT ALL SHABBY... BUT THIS SECOND SHOW KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. (WHETHER WRIGLEY OR U.S. CELLULAR FIELD, WE'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU). SIX SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, INCLUDING THREE TOUR PREMIERES. "TUNNEL OF LOVE," ALWAYS A THRILL TO GET, FEATURED PATTI, WHO WAS BACK ON STAGE TONIGHT, AND WHITE-HOT GUITAR WORK FROM NILS -- ON HIS SECOND SOLO, HE EVEN PLAYED WITH HIS TEETH. THAT WAS THE FIRST OF A NON-STOP THREE PACK, GOING RIGHT INTO A FINE "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" WITH "DARLINGTON COUNTY" IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, FEATURING CLARENCE AND SOOZIE REALLY HAMMING IT UP. "DEVIL'S ARCADE" WAS DEDICATED TO TOM BROKAW. CLEARLY ABOUT TO PLAY "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES," SPRINGSTEEN CALLED QUITE AN AUDIBLE TO LEAD OFF THE ENCORE INSTEAD. THE CHANGE OF HEART CAME FROM SEEING SOME KIDS RIGHT UP FRONT IN THE PIT: "THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG FOLKS UP HERE TONIGHT," HE SAID, SWITCHING GUITARS AND CALLING OUT (AN UN-SOUNDCHECKED) "THUNDER ROAD" TO THE BAND. "LAST TIME WE PLAYED THIS WAS FIVE YEARS AGO... BUT WE PLAYED IT FOR 35 YEARS BEFORE THAT, SO MAYBE IT'LL BALANCE OUT." IT DID -- WELL-RESTED, WITH BRUCE CLEARLY WANTING TO PLAY IT RATHER THAN FEELING OBLIGATED, IT WAS THE BEST "THUNDER ROAD" IN RECENT MEMORY. THE CROWD LAPPED IT UP. NO DOUBLE THUNDER, THOUGH -- BRUCE DROPPED "THUNDERCRACK" FROM ITS USUAL SLOT, KEEPING THE ENCORE TO JUST FOUR SONGS. A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE FROM THE SECOND NIGHT IN PHILADELPHIA -- WHILE PHILLY 2 WAS ALL ABOUT INTENSITY, TONIGHT IN CHICAGO WAS VERY FUN AND LOOSE -- BUT THEY'RE EVENLY MATCHED AS THE BEST OF THE TOUR SO FAR.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 25 / OAKLAND, CA / ORACLE ARENA

NOTES: THE FIRST MAGIC SHOW ON THE WEST COAST, AND A SOLID ONE FOR THE BAY AREA, THOUGH THERE WAS THE TYPICAL DROP IN AUDIENCE EFFUSIVENESS. NOT AN INDIFFERENT OR DISRESPECTFUL CROWD, JUST TO BE CLEAR -- FEWER PEOPLE SEEMED TO BE TAKING BATHROOM BREAKS OR LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO SIT THAN ELSEWHERE -- JUST LESS DEMONSTRATIVE. A THUNDEROUS PERFORMANCE OF "BACKSTREETS" WAS MET WITH RELATIVELY LITTLE REACTION, AND THERE SEEMED TO BE LESS AUDIENCE FAMILIARITY WITH THE NEW MATERIAL. OF COURSE, BRUCE HAVING TO WORK HARD TO GET THE CROWD INTO IT AIN'T ALWAYS A BAD THING. "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" ABSOLUTELY KILLED, WITH A SCREAMING LEAD FROM BRUCE, AND HE EVENTUALLY GOT EVERYONE SINGING ALONG ON "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" IN THE ENCORE. "YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY" CAME OUT FOR JUST THE THIRD TIME, AND IT WAS THE ONLY MOMENT WHEN THE BAND, RATHER THAN THE CROWD, SEEMED TENTATIVE; BRUCE TURNED UP THE BANDLEADER JUICE, THOUGH, AND IT PICKED UP AS IT WENT ALONG. "THUNDER ROAD" IN THE ENCORE AGAIN CAME ACROSS AS REJUVENATED, A SONG SPRINGSTEEN WANTS TO PLAY. AND THE CROWD LAPPED UP OLDER MATERIAL LIKE THIS -- WHEN HE CAME TO THE EDGE OF THE STAGE WITH THAT OLD BATTERED ESQUIRE, LETTING THE FRONT ROW BANG AWAY AT IT TO "MAKE IT TALK," YOU COULD THROW ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CROWD BEING RESERVED OUT THE WINDOW.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 26 / OAKLAND, CA / ORACLE ARENA

NOTES: THIS WAS ORIGINALLY THE ONLY BAY AREA SHOW ON THE SCHEDULE, SO IT'S BEEN LONG-SOLD OUT, AND THE ENERGY IN THE PLACE WAS HIGH -- EVEN BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED, WITH SPONTANEOUS CHEERS ARISING BEFORE THE LIGHTS WENT DOWN. AS ONE FAN PUTS IT, "CHURCH WAS BACK IN SESSION TONIGHT... ANOTHER GREAT SHOW, BUT THIS TIME WITH THE APPROPRIATE FEEDBACK FROM THE CROWD!" SIX SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, INCLUDING "TUNNEL OF LOVE" AND THE DEBUT OF "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY," BOTH OF WHICH WERE SETLISTED BUT NOT PLAYED ON NIGHT ONE; PLUS AS THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "TWO HEARTS" (COMPLETE WITH THE "IT TAKES TWO" OUTRO) AND "RACING IN THE STREET." "WORKING" WAS A WHOLE LOT OF FUN, FEELING FRESH AND RECALLING MORE ITS CLOSING SLOT ON THE '92/93 TOUR THAN ITS PLACE AS A SEMI-DISAPPOINTING POST-"TENTH" WILDCARD ON THE REUNION TOUR. IT'S GOOD TO SEE BRUCE REMEMBER THAT HE'S GOT OTHER SONGS IN THE CANON THAT CAN DO THE JOB OF "DARLINGTON" (AND OF COURSE THIS IS STILL JUST THE TOP OF THE ICEBERG). "RACING IN THE STREET" BROUGHT THE ENERGY LEVEL DOWN A BIT -- "I'VE SEEN 'RACING' BUILD AT THE END TO HAVE CROWD COMING TO ITS FEET," SAYS ANOTHER FAN, "BUT IT DIDN'T DO THAT TONIGHT" -- BUT IT WAS STILL ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T GO OVER, SADLY, WAS "THUNDERCRACK." BRUCE INTRODUCED IT BY MENTIONING THE MATRIX, WHERE HE PLAYED WITH STEEL MILL WHEN HE WAS JUST 19... BUT SINCE HE PLAYED RELATIVELY FEW WEST COAST SHOWS IN THE EARLY '70S, THERE JUST WASN'T THAT MUCH FAMILIARITY WITH THIS SONG. AFTER HIS CUE TO SING ALONG AT THE BEGINNING WAS MET WITH BEWILDERMENT BY THE CROWD, BRUCE SAID, "THAT WAS TERRIBLE!" BUT OF COURSE AFTER THE SONG BUILDS, AND FROM THERE GOES INTO "BORN TO RUN," "DANCING IN THE DARK," AND "AMERICAN LAND," ANY TERRIBLENESS ON ANYONE'S PART WAS SOON FORGOTTEN.

CASE 23 – OCTOBER 29 / LOS ANGELES, CA / SPORTS ARENA

NOTES: THE WILDFIRES MAY NOT HAVE REACHED THE L.A. SPORTS ARENA, BUT THE HEAT SURE DID. ON THE FIGURATIVE SIDE, IT WAS A POWERFUL PERFORMANCE THAT HAD THE USUAL STAID, LAID-BACK L.A. CROWD ON THEIR FEET AND PUTTING THEIR CELL PHONES AWAY. "I LOVE THE SPORTS ARENA!" HOLLERED BRUCE, AND THOUGH THE VENUE HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS, RETURNING TO THE E STREET BAND'S OLD '80S HAUNT RATHER THAN THE CAVERNOUS NEWFANGLED STAPLES CENTER SURELY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENERGY -- "VERY OLD SCHOOL!" AS HE PUT IT. ON THE LITERAL SIDE, ALSO VERY OLD SCHOOL, IT WAS HOT. AS IN FAINTING HOT. SPRINGSTEEN BROUGHT WATER TO THE PIT FROM HIS OWN SUPPLY, AND SOON WATER BOTTLES WERE BEING DISTRIBUTED, BUT A COUPLE FOLKS STILL WENT DOWN. "WE ONLY LOST ONE, RIGHT?" BRUCE ASKED TOWARD THE END OF THE SHOW. "OH, WE LOST TWO?..." "GYPSY BIKER," WITH ITS SCREAMING GUITARS, WAS AWE-INSPIRING, AND "REASON TO BELIEVE" TOOK THE SET TO ANOTHER LEVEL -- FOLLOWED BY "CANDY'S ROOM" AND "SHE'S THE ONE," AND THE PLACE WAS JUMPING, NO ONE IN THEIR SEATS. THERE WAS A GREAT REACTION TO NEW MATERIAL FROM MAGIC AS WELL, WHICH BRUCE REFERRED TO AS "OUR SMASH HIT ALBUM." THERE WERE SCREAMS FOR "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES," AS BRUCE SENT IT OUT TO "ALL THE CALIFORNIA GIRLS!" A TERRIFIC STORY PRECEDED "THUNDERCRACK." BRUCE TALKED ABOUT THE BAND'S FIRST VISIT TO L.A., FOR THE 1973 AHMANSON THEATER CBS SHOWCASE -- NOTABLE BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ANY MEMBER OF THE E STREET BAND HAD EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE. HE INTRODUCED THE SONG AS "OUR BIG SHOWSTOPPER BACK THEN," ADDING THAT BY THE TIME THEY'D PLAYED IT THE SHOW HAD PRETTY MUCH STOPPED (TO VISIBLE LAUGHTER FROM CLARENCE AND DANNY). HE DIDN'T PLAY "HAUNTED HOUSE" WITH A MENTION OF HIS FIRST GIGS AT THE SPORTS ARENA ON THE RIVER TOUR EXACTLY 27 YEARS AGO... BUT THERE'S ALWAYS TONIGHT!

CASE 24 – OCTOBER 30 / LOS ANGELES, CA / SPORTS ARENA

NOTES: A SPOOOOKY BEGINNING TO THIS ALL HALLOW'S EVE EVE SHOW, WITH CAULDRONS AND JACK O'LANTERNS ON THE STAGE, A TOUCH OF SMOKE... GOTTA LOVE BRUCE'S SENSE OF HISTORY, NOT TO MENTION SENSE OF FUN, AS 27 YEARS SINCE HIS FIRST OF TWO HALLOWEEN SHOWS AT THIS VERY VENUE (10/31/80, 10/31//84), HE ONCE AGAIN CAME ON STAGE IN A COFFIN. A HALF-DOZEN CREW MEMBERS DRESSED AS ZOMBIES SERVED AS PALLBEARERS, BRUCE'S HAND ROSE UP TO TAKE HIS GUITAR, THE COFFIN TIPPED FORWARD AND OFF WE WENT INTO "RADIO NOWHERE." COOL, COOL, COOL. [WATCH THE VIDEO CLIP AT BRUCESPRINGSTEEN.NET.] AND NOT JUST THE START -- IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT SHOW FOR L.A. ALL AROUND, WITH THE BAND IN INCREDIBLE FORM AND BRUCE IN PARTICULARLY HIGH SPIRITS. IN THE MAIN SET, THREE SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE: "THE TIES THAT BIND," "NIGHT," AND "TUNNEL OF LOVE." THEY'VE REALLY GOT "TUNNEL" FIGURED OUT NOW -- THIS WAS A KILLER VERSION WITH NILS JUST ALL OVER THE SOLOS, AND IMPRESSIVE VOCALS FROM PATTI. "DEVIL'S ARCADE" WAS MAX'S HIGH POINT OF THE NIGHT, AND HE ALSO ADDED LOTS OF FUN EXTRA FILLS ON "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" (A SONG ALSO WORTH MENTIONING FOR CLARENCE'S SPOT-ON SOLO). AFTER "GIRLS" CAME THE BIGGIE OF THE NIGHT, WHICH BRUCE CALLED THE "PRE-HALLOWEEN TREAT FOR LOS ANGELES": "KITTY'S BACK." YES, THE CAT CAME BACK, AND IT WAS PERFECT, BRUCE JUST NAILING THE GUITAR INTRO, AND THE WHOLE BAND COMPLETELY IN THE GROOVE. QUITE A RARITY FOR ANY CROWD, LET ALONE ONE ON THE WEST COAST. THEY ATE IT UP, TOO. AS ONE LONGTIME CONCERT-GOER PUT IT, "IT WAS 1975-GOOD. HOW CAN THEY PLAY A SONG LIKE THAT ONCE EVERY TEN YEARS AND ABSOLUTELY NAIL IT?" MAYBE JUST A LITTLE HALLOWEEN MAGIC.

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 2 / ST. PAUL, MN / XCEL ENERGY CENTER

NOTES: A FUN, HIGH-ENERGY SHOW FOR A GREAT CROWD IN THE TWIN CITIES, WHICH WENT NUTS WHEN NECESSARY AND QUIET WHEN CALLED FOR (AND IT WAS CALLED FOR, BRUCE SHUSHING THE CROWD A FEW TIMES FOR THE "REASON TO BELIEVE" HARP INTRO). A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS WERE RIGHT UP FRONT, AND SPRINGSTEEN SEEMED TO BE HAVING A GREAT TIME PLAYING TO THEM. BASICALLY, IT WAS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT BRUCE MEANS WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE CROWD AND PERFORMER BEING "IN CONCERT": HE WAS INTO THE CROWD, THEY WERE INTO HIM, AND THEY JUST FED OFF EACH OTHER. SETLIST-WISE, NOTHING TO RAISE EYEBROWS, NO TOUR PREMIERES... BUT "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" WAS AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE, THEY PLAYED THE PANTS OFF IT. GARRY TALLENT IN PARTICULAR WAS A WONDER TO BEHOLD AS THE SONG'S SOLID BEDROCK. GOING FROM "INCIDENT" INTO THE ALL-OUT GOOFINESS OF "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" WAS THE EPITOME OF "FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS"... BUT IT WORKED. GARRY EVEN STEPPED UP FOR BACKING VOCALS ON "HIGHWAY" -- GO FUNKY! OTHER NOTABLES: "GYPSY BIKER" WAS AN EARLY STAND-OUT, AS WAS "REASON." NO PATTI TONIGHT, SO SOOZIE ONCE AGAIN TOOK OVER THE "MAGIC" DUET. AND "THUNDER ROAD" STILL HAS LIFE IN IT YET, PLAYED BY "SPECIAL REQUEST" -- WITH BRUCE WIELDING THE FENDER ESQUIRE FROM THERE INTO "BORN TO RUN." KUDOS TO MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY AT THE XCEL CENTER FOR A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH THE GA PROCESS; EXPECIALLY CONSIDERING THERE WERE 1,135 FANS WRISTBANDED FOR THE LOTTERY, THE ENTRY WAS ORGANIZED, ORDERLY, SAFE AND SMOOTH. THAT CERTAINLY DIDN'T HURT THE VIBE IN THE ARENA. "THANK YOU, TWIN CITIES. YOU'VE BEEN A FANTASTIC AUDIENCE," BRUCE SAID AT THE CLOSE OF THE SHOW, AND HE OFFERED A BENEDICTION: "LONG LIVE HAPPINESS!" AND AS THE LIGHTS CAME UP AND FANS READ WHAT WAS ON THE SCREENS, THERE WAS ONE MORE THING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT: "BRUCE RETURNS MARCH 16. TICKETS ON SALE NOVEMBER 10 AT 10 A.M."

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 4 / CLEVELAND, OH / QUICKEN LOANS ARENA

NOTES: A KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCE FOR CLEVELAND, WITH A SETLIST TO MATCH. EVERY E STREET ALBUM WAS REPRESENTED IN THE SHOW TONIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RIVER -- AND IF YOU COUNT RIVER-ERA B-SIDE "BE TRUE," WHICH HAD ITS TOUR PREMIERE, IT WAS A SWEEP. REPRESENTING GREETINGS WAS ANOTHER TOUR DEBUT, "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY." PAIRED WITH "SHE'S THE ONE," IT WAS JUST MASSIVE. "TUNNEL" REPRESENTED TUNNEL, AND FROM THE WILD, THE INNOCENT & THE E STREET SHUFFLE IN THE ENCORE, IT WAS ANOTHER STUNNING "KITTY'S BACK." ALL THAT, AND THEY STILL HAD ROOM FOR "WOMAN POWER," AS BRUCE PUT IT, WITH PATTI SPOTLIGHTED ON "TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK" AS SHE RETURNED TO THE FOLD AFTER HER ABSENCE IN ST. PAUL. OH, AND SPEAKING OF WOMAN POWER, BRUCE REFERENCED THE LYNN GOLDSMITH PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT DOWN THE ROAD AT THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME: "I HOPE THEY DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF ME WITH MY PANTS DOWN!" IN THE CROWD: THE RASPBERRIES' ERIC CARMEN, AND RETIRED LONGTIME PLAIN DEALER ROCK CRITIC (AND HUGE SPRINGSTEEN FAN) JANE SCOTT.

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 5 / AUBURN HILLS, MI / THE PALACE

NOTES: FINALLY, ONE OF THE M.I.A. MAGIC SONGS JOINED THE PARTY, AS "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE" DEBUTED IN DETROIT, PAIRED NICELY WITH "TUNNEL OF LOVE." EARLIER IN THE DAY AT THE PALACE, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND ALSO SOUNDCHECKED "YOU'LL BE COMIN' DOWN," SO MAYBE THAT HOLDOUT WILL SOON GET ITS DUE AS WELL. "JACKSON CAGE," LAST PLAYED IN AUGUST 2003 (PITTSBURGH), ALSO HAD ITS MAGIC PREMIERE, SETLISTED TO BE THE SECOND SONG BUT BRUCE SWITCHED IT TO THE POST-"REASON" SLOT. A THIRD NEW ADDITION TO THE SET WAS A TOTAL AUDIBLE, NOT PLAYED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2003 (HARTFORD) OR EVEN SOUNDCHECKED, AND WE OWE IT TO A SIX-YEAR-OLD NAMED NOAH WHO WAS VERY INTO THE SHOW. "THIS KID'S BEEN ROCKIN' ALL NIGHT!" BRUCE SAID, SHOWING THE CROWD HIS SIGN, (WHICH EVEN GETS POINTS FOR POLITENESS), AND OBLIGED WITH A ROCKIN' "RAMROD." THAT TOOK THE PLACE OF "KITTY'S BACK" ON THE SET, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE COMPLAIN. CERTAINLY NOT NOAH, WHO WAS GIVEN QUITE A FEW TANGIBLE SOUVENIRS FROM THE BAND AS WELL. HERE'S LOOKIN' AT YOU, KID. ELDER FOLKS IN THE CROWD WERE MARTHA REEVES, DAVE MARSH WITH HIS MOM, AND OUR PAL GARY GRAFF, WHOSE DETROIT REVIEW IS HERE.

CASE 24 - NOVEMBER 7 / NEW YORK, NY / TOWN HALL

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 11 / WASHINGTON DC / VERIZON CENTER

NOTES: "SO GLAD TO BE IN YOUR WICKED -- I MEAN, YOUR BEAUTIFUL CITY TONIGHT!" BRUCE SAID AT THIS FIRST OF TWO SHOWS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL. HE ALSO TOOK NOTE OF THE SETTING BEFORE "MAGIC," AFTER TALKING ABOUT LIVING IN AN AGE WHERE LIES CAN BE TWISTED INTO TRUTH AND VICE VERSA: "HEY, THIS IS WHERE IT HAPPENS! THIS IS THE CITY OF MAGIC!" NOT ONLY LOCATION BUT ALSO THE OCCASION WAS CLEARLY ON BRUCE'S MIND TONIGHT, WITH A RESONANT "NO SURRENDER," "THE PROMISED LAND" GOING OUT TO THE GOOD PEOPLE FROM THE BETHESDA NAVAL HOSPITAL, AND A PARTICULARLY STRONG "DEVIL'S ARCADE" DEDICATED TO "MY GOOD FRIEND BOBBY MULLER, AND FOR VETERAN'S DAY." (MULLER IS PRESIDENT OF VETERANS FOR AMERICA, FORMERLY THE VIETNAM VETERANS OF AMERICA FOR WHOM SPRINGSTEEN PLAYED A LEGENDARY BENEFIT BACK IN '81) A BIG HIGHLIGHT WAS THE SECOND-EVER PERFORMANCE OF "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE" INTO "TUNNEL OF LOVE," WITH BLISTERING SOLOING FROM NILS. THINGS REALLY GOT COOKING IN THE ENCORE, WHICH STRETCHED OUT TO SIX SONGS WITH A KNOCK-OUT DOUBLE-SHOT OF EARLY MATERIAL: THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "GROWIN' UP," INTO AN INCREDIBLE "KITTY'S BACK." COUSIN FRANK FROM THE SESSIONS BAND JOINED IN ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND VOCALS FOR THE SHOW-CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND." HOPE THEY COULD HEAR THAT ONE ON THE HILL...

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 12 / WASHINGTON DC / VERIZON CENTER

NOTES: WHILE TOUR PREMIERES WERE INITIALLY ON OUR MINDS FOR THIS VETERANS DAY SHOW, WHAT SEEMED TO BE ON BRUCE'S MIND WERE THE GUYS IN WHEELCHAIRS SITTING BESIDE THE STAGE -- WHICH QUICKLY PUT EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE. BEFORE THE SHOW, BRUCE, PATTI, AND EVAN SPRINGSTEEN SPENT THE AFTERNOON VISITING WOUNDED SOLDIERS AT WALTER REED ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, AND A CONTINGENT FROM THE HOSPITAL CAME OUT FOR THE CONCERT. SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED "THE PROMISED LAND" TO THEM, TO "HONOR THEIR SERVICE AND THEIR SACRIFICE. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THEM!" HE ALSO MADE A POINT OF PLAYING TO STAGE LEFT REGULARLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT, TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE GETTING A GOOD NIGHT OUT. ONE OF THE SERVICEMEN HAD HIS YOUNG SON WITH HIM, DECKED OUT IN A MAGIC T-SHIRT THAT BRUCE HAD SIGNED BEFORE THE SHOW, AND AS IF THE KID WEREN'T ALREADY HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE, BRUCE SNUCK OVER AND GAVE HIM HIS HARMONICA AT THE END OF THE NIGHT. SO OKAY, WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT OUR DAYDREAMED PERFORMANCE OF "SHUT OUT THE LIGHT."

AND IT'S NOT AS IF RELATED THEMES ARE EVER LACKING IN THE MAGIC SHOW. "GYPSY BIKER" WAS A HOT ONE, "DEVIL'S ARCADE" WAS SENT OUT "FOR VETERANS DAY," AND BEFORE "LAST TO DIE," SPRINGSTEEN HOLLERED "THIS IS FOR JOHN!" SURELY THAT WAS JOHN KERRY, THE SOURCE OF THE SONG'S TITLE, WHO WAS INDEED IN THE HOUSE. BEFORE "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE," BRUCE SANG THE PRAISES OF WASHINGTON DC, IN HIS OWN WAY: "IT'S ALWAYS AN INSPIRING PLACE TO COME TO SEE THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL... IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE THINGS THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. THERE'S ALSO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CITY THAT REMINDS ME OF THE HANDLE ON THE SCREWDRIVER." SONG HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED TWO FROM THE RIVER: "THE TIES THAT BIND" AND THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE OF "JACKSON CAGE." THEY OWNED "JACKSON CAGE" -- WITH GARRY TALLENT THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER -- AND THE TRANSITION FROM THERE TO A HIGH-ENERGY "SHE'S THE ONE" WAS FLAWLESS. "THUNDER ROAD" TOOK THE ENCORE WILD CARD SLOT, AND "AMERICAN LAND" WAS PARTICULARLY ROUSING TONIGHT -- HELL, GARRY WAS DOING A JIG! -- BOTH A CELEBRATORY AND A CLEAR-EYED LOOK AT THE AMERICAN WAY HERE IN OUR NATION'S CAPITOL. AND WITH THE LYRICS ON THE SCREEN, EVEN THE LOBBYISTS WERE SINGING ALONG. EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THAT ONE LINE TOWARD THE END.

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 14 / PITTSBURGH, PA / MELLON ARENA

NOTES: "PATTI'S NOT HERE TONIGHT," SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE PITTSBURGH CROWD AFTER "THE PROMISED LAND," "BUT WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL GUEST: JOE GRUSHECKY, THE MAN WHO SINGLEHANDEDLY BROUGHT SEXY BACK TO PITTSBURGH." YOU MEAN THAT WASN'T JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE? YES, A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER LIGHT OF DAY 8 CAME AND WENT WITHOUT THE TRADITIONAL SPRINGSTEEN APPEARANCE, THE TWO SINGER/SONGWRITERS REUNITED IN GRUSHECKY'S HOMETOWN FOR A SONG THEY WROTE TOGETHER, THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "CODE OF SILENCE." IT WAS A LITTLE ROUGH -- BRUCE'S RECORDING OF THE SONG IS ON ESSENTIAL, JOE'S IS ON HIS OWN A GOOD LIFE (WITH BRUCE GUESTING), AND TONIGHT'S SOUNDED AT TIMES LIKE THE TWO CRASHED INTO EACH OTHER -- BUT IT WAS GOOD TO GET, AND YOU CAN BE SURE THE CROWD APPRECIATED SEEING THEIR FAVORITE SON UP THERE. "BACKSTREETS" WAS PLAYED BY REQUEST, AN AUDIBLE IN PLACE OF "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE." AND ANOTHER IMPROMPTU STEELTOWN SPECIAL KICKED OFF THE ENCORE: SPRINGSTEEN WAS STRUMMING THE CHORDS TO "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" AS USUAL, WHEN HE GOT AN IDEA: "LET'S DO SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE." THERE WAS A CHANGE OF GUITARS AND A QUICK CONFERENCE WITH THE BAND, ESSENTIALLY LETTING THEM KNOW HE'D BE GOING IT ALONE. "WE HAVEN'T DONE A LOT OF ACOUSTIC STUFF ON THIS TOUR," HE TOLD THE CROWD, GOING INTO A SOLO READING OF "YOUNGSTOWN" -- CHEERS AT "MONOGAHELA VALLEY," OF COURSE, AND KUDOS TO THE LIGHTING GUYS FOR THINKING FAST AND BRINGING UP THE RED LIGHT FOR THIS ONE. FIVE MORE SONGS FOLLOWED, INCLUDING A "KITTY'S BACK" THAT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER (IF THAT'S POSSIBLE), AND CLOSING THE SHOW, THOSE LISTENING CAREFULLY HEARD SPRINGSTEEN WELCOMING THE GRUSHECKYS TO THESE SHORES IN "AMERICAN LAND."

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 15 / ALBANY, NY / TIMES UNION CENTER

NOTES: A STUNNER OF A SETLIST, AND A START-TO-FINISH SMOKING PERFORMANCE TO MATCH. FIRST OF ALL, THE "REASON TO BELIEVE"/"SHE'S THE ONE" SANDWICH WAS A DOUBLE-DECKER, WITH BOTH "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN" AND "CANDY'S ROOM" IN THE MIDDLE -- COOL ON PAPER, AND INCREDIBLY POWERFUL IN PERFORMANCE. BUT IT WASN'T THE JAW-DROPPER OF THE SET. FOR THAT, WE DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION FORWARD A FEW SONGS, TO WHAT BRUCE CALLED A "DOUBLE SHOT FROM WILD & INNOCENT!" IT WAS A PASSIONATE "4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)" INTO "THE E STREET SHUFFLE," BOTH RARITIES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, AND BACK-TO-BACK LIKE THIS WE'RE TALKING HEN'S TEETH. THIS WAS A CROWD THAT APPRECIATED WHAT THEY WERE GETTING, TOO. FOR "SANDY," IT WAS SPOTLIGHT ON DANNY FEDERICI, LITERALLY -- PHANTOM DAN WAS BATHED IN LIGHT AS HE STEPPED OUT FROM BEHIND THE ORGAN FOR SOME BEAUTIFUL ACCORDION PLAYING. THE LAST E STREET BAND PERFORMANCE OF "SANDY" WAS AT GIANTS STADIUM IN 2003, BUT FOR "E STREET SHUFFLE," YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK TO THE END OF THE REUNION TOUR, JULY 1, 2000. IN THE ENCORE, SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED "THUNDER ROAD" TO MATTY DELIA, "ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD," ON HIS 53RD BIRTHDAY. AND AFTER THE SPIRITED CROWD HELD THEIR OWN, SINGING OUT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG UP TO "THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME," BRUCE STEPPED BACK TO THE MIC AND SAID, "ME TOO!" NO PATTI TONIGHT, BUT WE HEAR SHE'LL BE BACK FOR BOSTON.

CASE 24 – NOVEMBER 18 / BOSTON, MA / TD BANKNORTH GARDEN

NOTES: THE FIRST NIGHT IN BOSTON, "HOME OF THE WORLD CHAMPION..." BRUCE BEGAN, PUTTING ON A DEJECTED FACE AS THE CROWD WENT NUTS FOR THE SOX, "AH, YOU KNOW THE REST." THAT WAS HIS ONLY SULLEN MOMENT OF THE NIGHT -- IT WAS A HIGH-ENERGY SHOW START TO FINISH, WITH A TYPICALLY GREAT BEANTOWN CROWD TO MATCH. "SHE'S THE ONE" WAS ESPECIALLY INTENSE, BRUCE CHANNELING HIS ENERGY AT THE END INTO A HIGH TOSS OF HIS GUITAR TO TECH KEVIN -- RIGHT OVER GARRY'S HEAD. GOOD THING KEVIN'S GOT HANDS, AND GOOD THING GARRY'S NOT A COUPLE INCHES TALLER. A SPECIAL MOMENT CAME A FEW SONGS LATER, BEFORE "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE": "I'M KIND OF LIKE A CAPTAIN OF A SHIP," SAID BRUCE, "WE'VE GOT A LITTLE PROPOSAL GOING ON!" AT THE FRONT OF THE PIT WAS A GUY WITH A SIGN THAT READ "WE MET 15 YEARS AGO, I'M PROPOSING TONIGHT!" THE LUCKY LADY WAS HELD ALOFT DURING THE SONG AS BRUCE BLESSED THEIR UNION. "ALRIGHT, KIDS, REMEMBER... YOU GOTTA WORK, WORK!" (AND TO STRESS THAT POINT, HE WENT INTO "TUNNEL OF LOVE" NEXT.) HE ALSO ADDED, "NEXT TIME TRY A CANDLELIGHT DINNER, BOTTLE OF WINE, THE USUAL." CLARENCE WAS SPOT-ON ALL NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON... WAIT FOR IT... YEP, "JUNGLELAND," IN THE ENCORE. THE BIG MAN NAILED HIS SPOTLIGHT MOMENT. THE ONLY REAL CURVEBALL IN THE SET, "JUNGLELAND" WENT OUT TO BRUCE'S FRIEND BOB COLES, AS WELL AS A WHOLE HOST OF "MAMAS" IN THE CROWD, INCLUDING MAX'S MOM AND GEORGE TRAVIS'S TOO, WHO'S 93! ALSO IN THE HOUSE, HOMETOWN FAVE -- AND FREQUENT SPRINGSTEEN GUEST, THOUGH NOT TONIGHT -- PETER WOLF. MAYBE TOMORROW?

CASE 24 - NOVEMBER 19 / BOSTON, MA / TD BANKNORTH GARDEN

AMID RUMORS THAT DANNY FEDERICI'S HEALTH WOULD PREVENT HIM FROM MAKING THE TRIP TO EUROPE NEXT WEEK, BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND CLOSED OUT THEIR NORTH AMERICAN LEG WITH A STUNNER OF A SHOW IN BOSTON. AND WHILE WE BELIEVE STRONGLY IN RESPECTING HIS PRIVACY, WE SIMPLY CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS NIGHT WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT DANNY. HIS TALENT, THE BAND'S LOVE FOR THE MAN, THE CROWD'S LOVE FOR THE MAN -- ALL WERE THERE FOR ALL TO SEE. THIS SHOW WAS ALL ABOUT DAN FEDERICI. THE SETLIST (AND OH, WHAT A SETLIST) WAS CLEARLY CRAFTED WITH HIM IN MIND. THERE WERE THE TWO TOUR PREMIERES -- "THIS HARD LAND" GIVING DANNY A STRETCHED-OUT SOLO SPOT, "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" RECALLING THE FORMATION OF THE E STREET BAND, OF WHICH DANNY WAS OF COURSE A FOUNDING MEMBER (EASY TO FORGET THAT ONLY HE, CLARENCE, AND GARRY GO ALL THE WAY BACK). AND THEN THE THREE SONGS FROM THOSE WILD & INNOCENT EARLY DAYS -- REPRISING THE "4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)"/"E STREET SHUFFLE" TWO-FER FROM ALBANY, AND ADDING "KITTY'S BACK" FOR GOOD MEASURE -- ALL OF WHICH GAVE DANNY CHANCES TO SHINE. FEDERICI'S "KITTY" SOLO, AT BRUCE'S URGING, WENT ON AND ON. "SANDY," TOO, WAS A SPOTLIGHT MOMENT, WITH DANNY STRAPPING ON THE ACCORDION; BRINGING HIM FRONT AND CENTER, BRUCE CALLED OUT, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WINNER OF THE TED MACK AMATEUR HOUR!" TOSSED-OFF AD LIB THAT IT WAS, THAT REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT TO ME AS I THINK BACK ON THE SHOW TODAY. IT WAS A NIGHT OF GOOD HUMOR. IT WAS A NIGHT OF MUSICIANSHIP, OF HISTORY, OF SHARED HISTORY, AND OF THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. IT WASN'T A MAUDLIN NIGHT. THERE WAS NO OVERT REFERENCE TO ANY LEAVE OF ABSENCE, CERTAINLY NO MENTION OF ANY HEALTH ISSUES. WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE FACE OF THOSE THINGS INSTEAD? YOU GET UP THERE AND PLAY. AND THEY PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT. "DARKNESS" WAS ABLAZE. THE WHACKED-OUT FUNK CODA OF "E STREET SHUFFLE" WAS A KILLER, WITH MAX GOING NUTS ON THE DRUMS. "THE RISING" WAS MORE DETERMINED THAN I'VE HEARD IT SINCE '03. "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" WAS A BLAST, AND WICKED TIGHT, EVEN WITH A WAY-LOOSE PETER WOLF UP THERE SHAKIN' IT WITH PATTI. AND WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO? IF YOU'RE NILS, YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS YOU CAN UP ON THE ORGAN RISER, PLAYING SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER. IF YOU'RE BRUCE, YOU HEAD OVER TO DANNY DURING THE BOWS AT SHOW'S END AND THROW YOUR ARM AROUND HIM, WITH A LOOK ON YOUR FACE THAT SAYS "GODAMMIT, I KNOW WE SAID WE WEREN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS TONIGHT, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM DOING THIS," AND YOU BRING HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE PACK, AND HE TAKES A BOW OF HIS OWN. AND IF YOU'RE THE CROWD, YOU CHANT "DANNY! DANNY! DANNY!" IT WAS AS SPONTANEOUS AS THE "E STREET BAND" CHANT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON JULY 1, 2000 -- WITH FEWER DRY EYES, I IMAGINE, BOTH ONSTAGE AND OFF.

CASE 24 - NOVEMBER 25 / MADRID, ESP / PALACIO DE DEPORTES

EARLY ARRIVALS TO THE EUROPEAN OPENER IN MADRID CAUGHT CHARLIE GIORDANO PRACTICING BEFORE THE SHOW, GETTING READY FOR HIS E STREET BAND DEBUT.

DESPITE THAT PRE-SHOW ENTERTAINMENT, IT WAS A RESTLESS CROWD THAT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL 9:50 FOR THE CONCERT TO START -- THEY KEPT THEMSELVES OCCUPIED BY DOING THE WAVE AND CHANTING "BRUCE! BRUCE! BRUCE!" SPRINGSTEEN HIMSELF APPEARED TO BE SUFFERING FROM A COLD, BUT HE FED OFF THE ENERGY OF THE WILD AUDIENCE, WHICH SANG AND SHOUTED ALONG FROM THE BEGINNING. ROSS MILLER DESCRIBES THE SCENE: "THERE WERE 200 PIT BANDS ISSUED, BUT NO LOTTERY; INSTEAD, JUST THE MAD DASH OF OLD, AND A CHECK FOR WRISTBANDS AT THE PIT GATE. BY THE MID-POINT OF THE SHOW THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 600 CRAZIES IN THERE. AS IS TYPICAL FOR SPAIN AND ITALY, FAR MORE RESPECT, SOBRIETY, SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND LOVE THAN ON BRUCE'S U.S. HOME TURF, REMINISCENT OF THE PASSION THAT USED TO BE A PART OF THE PRE-1984 NORTH AMERICAN FAN BEHAVIOR. EXACTLY WHY EUROPE IS THE ESSENTIAL BRUCE EXPERIENCE." "DARKNESS" WAS A STANDOUT, AND "THUNDER ROAD" WAS PLAYED BY REQUEST -- A REQUEST THAT WAS ECHOED BY 20,000 PEOPLE CALLING FOR IT, TOO. "OKAY, OKAY, WE GOT IT!" SAID BRUCE. A STRONG SHOWING FROM CLARENCE, AND DAN FEDERICI WASN'T THE ONLY BANDMEMBER MISSING -- PATTI SCIALFA WAS ABSENT, TOO. SURPRISINGLY, THEY KEPT "TUNNEL OF LOVE" IN THE SET ANYWAY, WITH SOOZIE TYRELL STEPPING UP. AND AS FOR GIORDANO, MILLER TELLS US, "THERE WERE POINTS WHERE HE WAS CLEARLY IN AWE. TO PARAPHRASE THE OLD OLDSMOBILE AD: THIS ISN'T YOUR FATHER'S SEEGER SESSIONS SHOW."

CASE 24 - NOVEMBER 26 / BILBAO, ESP / BILBAO EXHIBITION CENTRE

MADRID AND BILBAO MAY BE 400 KILOMETERS ARE APART, BUT BRUCE STILL GAVE THESE TWO SPANISH CITIES THE NIGHT A/NIGHT B TREATMENT, IN TERMS OF SETLISTS.

FOR THIS SECOND NIGHT OF THE EUROPEAN LEG, BILBAO GOT SIX SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE. IN THE MAIN SET, "NIGHT," "JACKSON CAGE," "BACKSTREETS"

("INCIDENT" WAS AN ALTERNATE ON THE SETLIST), AND "DARLINGTON COUNTY." IN THE SIX-SONG ENCORE, "TENTH AVENE FREEZE-OUT" MADE ITS SECOND TOUR APPEARANCE, AFTER ITS DEBUT ON THE FINAL NIGHT IN BOSTON; IT WENT RIGHT INTO "KITTY'S BACK" ("BORN TO RUN" WAS NOT BETWEEN THEM, AS ORIGINALLY REPORTED).

CASE 24 - NOVEMBER 28 / MILAN, ITA / DATCHFORUM

A FANTASTICO SETLIST FOR THE ITALIANS, WITH THE FIRST "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" SINCE OAKLAND, "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" FOLLOWING "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR

LOVE," AND A HANDFUL OF AUDIBLES SHAKING UP THE PLAN. BRUCE DECIDES TO FOREGO "WORKING"/"DARLINGTON" ALTOGETHER, HAVING "INCIDENT" GO RIGHT INTO "THE E STREET SHUFFLE" INSTEAD. IN THE ENCORE, "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" REPLACES THE SETLISTED "GROWIN' UP," AND "THUNDER ROAD" IS PLAYED IN PLACE OF "KITTY'S BACK."

CASE 24 - DECEMBER 1 / ARNHEM, NED / GELREDOME

THE NETHERLANDS CONCERT WAS POSTPONED TO GIVE BRUCE A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO RECOVER FROM A SEVERE COLD. JUST A 24-HOUR DELAY, BUT THAT MADE THIS A

DECEMBER SHOW INSTEAD OF A NOVEMBER SHOW -- SO ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S HOLIDAY TIME! IN FACT, THE DUTCH HOLIDAY OF SAINT NICHOLAS' EVE IS MERE DAYS AWAY. “SOMEONE TOLD ME... IS IT SINTERKLAAS?" BRUCE ASKED, "SINTERKLAAS? DECEMBER 5? OKAY, IN HONOR OF THE NETHERLANDS...." AND WITH THAT, OUT CAME THE FIRST "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN" OF THE YEAR.

CASE 24 - DECEMBER 2 / MANNHEIM, GER / SAP ARENA

AFTER FRIDAY'S POSTPONEMENT, SPRINGSTEEN MADE IT THROUGH BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS -- SATURDAY'S MAKE-UP SHOW IN ARNHEM AND TONIGHT IN MANNHEIM -- WITH

HARDLY A SNIFFLE. "BRUCE WAS AMAZING AS ALWAYS, DESPITE GETTING OVER A BAD COLD," DANIELE CLARK TELLS US. "FULL OF ENERGY AS USUAL," ANOTHER SHOWGOER SAYS, "ONE HELL OF AN E STREET BLAST." THE EUROPEAN SETLISTS HAVE REMAINED RELATIVELY STATIC SO FAR, WITHOUT THE TOUR PREMIERES THAT MARKED SO MANY OF THE U.S. SHOWS; MAYBE THAT'S TO GIVE CHARLIE GIORDANO A CHANCE TO GET UP TO SPEED, OR TO PRESENT A SET TO EUROPE THAT WORKED SO WELL IN THE STATES, OR MAYBE BOTH. BUT IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT ON THESE TWO NIGHTS BRUCE HAS MOVED THE "DARLINGTON"/"WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" SLOT TO JUST AFTER THE NIGHTLY "PROMISED LAND," A SHIFT THAT MAKES FOR A LESS JARRING TRANSISITION INTO "DEVIL'S ARCADE" A FEW SONGS LATER. GOOD TO SEE HIM KEEP TINKERING. WITH PATTI SCIALFA STILL ABSENT FROM THE EUROPEAN LEG, BRUCE DEDICATED "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" TO THE "MAEDCHENS OF DEUTSCHLAND AND TWO GIRLS FROM JERSEY!" AND FOR THE NEXT SONG, "SANTA CLAUS" -- THE ONE NEW ADDITION ON THIS LEG SO FAR, PREMIERING THE NIGHT BEFORE IN THE NETHERLANDS -- CAME TO DEUTSCHLAND, TOO.

CASE 24 - DECEMBER 4 / OSLO, NOR / OSLO SPEKTRUM

"CADILLAC RANCH," NOT PLAYED SINCE OCTOBER, WAS AN AUDIBLE, PLAYED BY REQUEST IN PLACE OF THE SETLISTED "BACKSTREETS." ALSO IN THE SET WERE "JACKSON CAGE" AND "TUNNEL OF LOVE" (WITH SOOZIE STILL FILLING IN FOR PATTI). AND NORWEGIANS HAD "SANTA CLAUS" TO KEEP THEM WARM, AS SOME WENT STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOW TO QUEUE UP FOR TICKETS TO NEXT YEAR'S OSLO SHOW, ON SALE IN THE MORNING.

CASE 24 - DECEMBER 8 / COPENHAGEN, DEN / FORUM COPENHAGEN

THE DANES WERE AN ENERGETIC CROWD, AND THE VENUE SETUP DIDN'T HURT THE VIBE -- THE SMALLEST OF THIS EUROPEAN LEG, HOLDING ONLY 10,000, AND DOMINATED

BY A LARGE FLOOR WITH VERY FEW SEATS AT ALL. INTRODUCING "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE," BRUCE SAID THAT THE BAND HAD DECIDED THAT EUROPEANS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN THE NEXT U.S. ELECTION, "BECAUSE IT'S EVERYBODY'S ASS!" "DARKNESS" GOT A BIG RESPONSE, BUT NOT COMPARED TO THE ELATION IN THE CROWD AT THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "THE RIVER." ROB SMITH TELLS US: "I'VE NEVER HEARD A WILDER RESPONSE TO A SPRINGSTEEN SONG. IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE JOINT WAS BELTING OUT EVERY WORD FROM START TO FINISH." THAT WENT RIGHT INTO "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," THE SONG'S FIRST MAIN-SET APPEARANCE ON THIS TOUR, WHICH SUSTAINED THE PEAK. NO VISIT FROM "SANTA CLAUS" TONIGHT, DESPITE ITS PLACE ON THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST AND A SANTA HAT THROWN ONSTAGE -- INSTEAD, BRUCE CALLED AN AUDIBLE AFTER "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES," RIPPING RIGHT INTO "KITTY'S BACK." WHICH WAS FAR FROM COAL IN THE STOCKING.

DECEMBER 10 / STOCKHOLM, SWE / GLOBE ARENA

WHILE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT SHOW TONIGHT, AND STEVE WAS VERY INTO IT, CLOWNING AROUND EVEN MORE THAN USUAL, THERE WAS NO DENYING THIS WAS THE BIG

MAN'S NIGHT. WITH "SHE'S THE ONE," THE CROWD BEGAN BOWING "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"-STYLE DURING CLARENCE'S SOLO, AND THEY KEPT IT UP FOR HIS TURN IN "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" AND ONWARD. BY "DANCING IN THE DARK," BRUCE AND STEVE WERE DOING IT TOO! "DANCING" ALSO FEATURED CLARENCE'S SON CHRISTOPHER ON ACOUSTIC, AND DURING THE BAND INTROS BRUCE PROCLAIMED CLARENCE "THE GODFATHER OF SWEDISH SOUL!" "THE RIVER" CAME OUT FOR THE SECOND SHOW IN A ROW -- AS IN COPENHAGEN, THIS WAS A TIGHT, ALBUM-STYLE VERSION OF THE SONG, AS OPPOSED TO THE DRAWN-OUT VERSION OF TOURS PREVIOUS. IT'S A SPARE RENDITION, TOO, WITH NO ELECTRIC GUITAR: BRUCE ON JUST HARP AND VOCALS, STEVE ON ACOUSTIC, AND NILS ON PEDAL STEEL. OH -- AND PLUS THE VOCAL STYLINGS OF ABOUT 15,000 FANS. YES, A TREMENDOUS SWEDISH AUDIENCE AS WE'VE COME TO EXPECT, WITH GREAT ENERGY -- EVERYONE INTO THE SHOW, SINGING ALONG IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES. AND NOT IN THE WRONG ONES -- WHEN BRUCE WENT TO SHUSH THE CROWD AS USUAL BEFORE "REASON TO BELIEVE," THEY WENT PIN-DROP SILENT BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIS REQUEST. AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE BRUCE TOOK NOTICE, SAYING IN THE ENCORE, "IT'S AN INCREDIBLE AUDIENCE OUT THERE TONIGHT," AND GRANTING AN ENORMOUS BANNER'S REQUEST OF "JUNGLELAND," DEDICATING IT TO THE CROWD. "JUNGELAND" WAS PLAYED IN PLACE OF THE SETLISTED "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN"... BUT A FEW SONGS LATER, BRUCE DECIDED TO KEEP THE SHOW GOING AFTER "AMERICAN LAND" FOR THE FIRST TIME, ADDING "SANTA" TO CAP THE SHOW AS A BONUS TRACK (THE WAY IT SHOULD BE, WE THINK), WITH A MERRY "GOD JUL FROM THE E STREET BAND!"

CASE 24 - DECEMBER 12 / ANTWERP, BEL / SPORTS PALEIS

NOTES: IT WAS SINGALONG NIGHT IN ANTWERP, AT BRUCE'S URGING -- HE SEEMED TO FIGURE THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE INTO THE SHOW. THE MUSICAL HIGH POINT CAME EARLY ON, WITH THE TOUR PREMIERE OF A STUPENDOUS "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" (WHICH BELONGED TO NILS, THANKS TO HIS MONSTER SOLO), TRANSITIONING SEAMLESSLY INTO "SHE'S THE ONE." ON THE LATTER, PERHAPS INSPIRED BY NILS' STUNNING PERFORMANCE, BRUCE ADDED SOME COOL GUITAR FLOURISHES OF HIS OWN TO THE BEGINNING. BUT WHAT REALLY GOT THE CROWD UP WAS "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," THE SONG'S FIRST PERFORMANCE SINCE PHILLY, AND BRUCE KEPT THAT BALL ROLLING WITH THE SINGALONG-FRIENDLY "THE RIVER" AND "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY." SOON HE WAS ASKING THEM TO JOIN IN ON "LONG WALK HOME," AND HE ADDED A BONUS AUDIBLE IN THE ENCORE, "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," COMPLETE WITH THE I-AIN'T-GONNA-PLAY-IT-UNTIL-YOU'RE-LOUD-ENOUGH EXTENDED INTRO.SPRINGSTEEN SPOKE FLEMISH AND FRENCH, BOTH OFFICIAL LANGUAGES OF BELGIUM. "THE PROMISED LAND," WHICH HAS HAD A GOSPEL-STYLE OUTRO ON THIS LEG, TONIGHT WENT INTO A FULL-BLOWN "PEOPLE GET READY" CODA, WITH SOOZIE, NILS, STEVE, AND CLARENCE ALL JOINING IN ON VOCALS. THE BIG MAN, OR "MR. SOUL SANTA CLAUS," AS BRUCE CALLED HIM, ADDED SOME PARTICULARLY HEARTY HO-HO-HOS TO "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN" -- SAID THE BOSS, "DON'T TIRE YOURSELF OUT, SANTA!"

DECEMBER 13 / COLOGNE, GER / KOLN ARENA

NOTES: A SMOKING SHOW, BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY -- THE KOLN ARENA MUST BE ONE OF THE LAST SUCH VENUES WHERE LIGHTING UP IS STILL PERMITTED, AND WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME UP THEY REVEALED QUITE A CLOUD OVERHEAD. A SURPRISINGLY SIMLAR SET TO THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, CONSIDERING IT'S JUST A COUPLE HOURS' DRIVE. BUT THE ENTHISIASTIC COLOGNE CROWD, ON THEIR FEET ALL NIGHT, SET THIS ONE APART -- AND WHO CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW? "THE PROMISED LAND" HAD THAT NEWLY ADDED "PEOPLE GET READY" GOSPEL CODA AGAIN, TOO. "KITTY'S BACK" WAS ABSOLUTELY SMOKING, PARTICULARLY ROY'S SOLO -- A KILLER, JAZZY IMPROVISATION, WHICH BRUCE ECHOED AS HE FOLLOWED IT WITH AN EXTENDED SOLO OF HIS OWN.

THE END OF "AMERICAN LAND" BROUGHT A PATENTED JAMES BROWN ROUTINE, AS BRUCE FELL OVER BACKWARD, "EXHAUSTED," STILL ON THE FLOOR AS THE BAND WENT INTO A BONUS "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN." NILS AND STEVEN HELPED HIM UP TO SING, AND A SPECIAL GUEST JOINED IN, TOO. "WOLFGANG, DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS?" BRUCE CRIED TO WOLFGANG NIEDECKEN -- LIKE JOE GRUSHECKY IN PITTSBURGH, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH BANK ON NIEDECKEN JOINING IN WHEN BRUCE COMES TO DEUTSCHLAND. THE GERMAN ROCKER DIDN'T REALLY SEEM TO KNOW THE SONG, RARELY STEPPING TO THE MIC, BUT ALL EYES WERE ON BRUCE ANYWAY, ESPECIALLY ONCE HE PUT THAT SANTA HAT ON. HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO MAKE THAT THING LOOK GOOD? TILTING IT AT A RAKISH ANGLE, TWIRLING THE POM-POM AROUND LIKE A HELICOPTER... NO ONE WEARS A SANTA HAT LIKE BRUCE. HEY, THE GUY'S A PROFESSIONAL.

DECEMBER 15 / BELFAST, IRE / ODYSSEY ARENA

NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN PLAYED HERE A YEAR AGO WITH THE SESSIONS BAND, BUT THIS IS THE E STREET BAND'S FIRST SHOW IN BELFAST. A STRANGELY STATIC SETLIST FOR THIS LATE IN THE LEG, WITH JUST ONE CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS SHOW IN COLOGNE: "NO SURRENDER" WAS IN FOR "THE TIES THAT BIND." BUT A LOOSER BRUCE -- MUCH AS HE CONNECTED WITH CROWDS AROUND THE CONTINENT AND MADE AN ALWAYS-APPRECIATED EFFORT TO SPEAK THE LOCAL LANGUAGE, YOU COULD FEEL HIM RELAX A BIT HERE TO BE BACK IN ENGLISH-SPEAKING TERRITORY. AND A LITTLE AMUSEMENT RIDE SURELY DIDN'T HURT HIS MOOD, EITHER. "I LIKE THE NEW FERRIS WHEEL!" HE SAID BEFORE "MAGIC," REFERRING TO THE BELFAST WHEEL AT CITY HALL, JUST OPENED IN OCTOBER. "A TOWN WITH A FERRIS WHEEL -- THAT'S A GOOD THING."

BEFORE A LOVELY "THE RIVER," SPRINGSTEEN MENTIONED THAT HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW WAS IN THE CROWD, THE "INSPIRATION" FOR THE SONG (ALONG WITH BRUCE'S SISTER, OF COURSE). AND JUST IN CASE ANYONE NEEDED THE DOTS CONNECTED BETWEEN "THE RIVER" AND "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE," A WEDDING PARTY WAS ALSO IN THE HOUSE, APPARENTLY HAVING COME STRAIGHT FROM THE NUPTIALS. WHEN BRUCE CALLED OUT "ARE THERE ANY LOVERS HERE TONIGHT?" AS USUAL, HE WAS QUICKLY DIRECTED TO THEM -- THE BRIDE STILL IN HER GOWN, THE GROOM STILL IN HIS TUXEDO. "DID YOU GET MARRIED TODAY?" BRUCE ASKED, AND DEDICATED THE SONG TO THEM. PERFORMANCE HIGH POINTS WERE THE "REASON TO BELIEVE"/"BECAUSE THE NIGHT"/"SHE'S THE ONE" TRIFECTA, "KITTY'S BACK," AND "SANTA CLAUS," WHICH FEATURED SOME IMPRESSIVE HEADGEAR. SOMEONE THREW ONSTAGE A RED FELT COWBOY HAT WITH WHITE FUR TRIM AND A WHITE BAND THAT READ "MERRY CHRISTMAS." AND ONCE AGAIN, BRUCE MANAGED TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.

DECEMBER 17 / PARIS, FRA / PALAIS OMNISPORTS DE BERCY

NOTES: WITH THE SETLISTS ALL BUT STATIC HERE AT THE END OF THE EUROPEAN LEG, WE'VE FIRST GOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME FRUSTRATION AMONG REPEAT ATTENDEES, THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG-DISTANCE TOUR FOLLOWER. A "REAL BALLBUSTER" SAYS ONE OF TONIGHT'S SHOW, THE PENULTIMATE NIGHT OF THE '07 TOUR, BEING VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE LAST THREE -- WHILE OF COURSE GRANTING IT'S A GREAT SHOW FOR ANYONE WHO'S NOT CATCHING MULTIPLE NIGHTS. ("YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF," AS RADIOHEAD SAYS.) DIFFERENTIATING THE PARIS SET FROM BELFAST WAS A SHAKE-UP OF THE STANDARD OPENING TRIO (ADDING BOTH "NIGHT" AND "NO SURRENDER" IN BETWEEN "RADIO NOWHERE" AND "LONESOME DAY") AND MOST REMARKABLY, A KILLER "JUNGLELAND" IN THE ENCORE. CLARENCE WAS PERFECT, BRUCE SOUNDED GREAT, AND "IT HASN'T SOUNDED THAT GOOD SINCE '78" WAS A REASONABLE REACTION. BRUCE SENT "JUNGLELAND" OUT "FOR LEONARDO, AND FOR PARIS." IT WOULDN'T BE PARIS WITHOUT ELLIOTT MURPHY, AND A COUPLE SONGS LATER BRUCE'S OLD FRIEND AND REGULAR GUEST WAS ONSTAGE FOR "DANCING IN THE DARK."

FOR THE CLOSING "SANTA CLAUS" -- "CROYEZ VOUS AU PERE NOEL?" -- ENOUGH SANTA CAPS WERE HURLED ONSTAGE THAT SPRINGSTEEN WAS ABLE TO GO AROUND AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN THE BAND GOT ONE. THE BOSS HIMSELF GOT A CUSTOM MODEL -- WHEN KEVIN BUELL CAME OUT WITH THE GUITAR FOR THE SONG, HE ALSO BROUGHT THE RED COWBOY HAT FROM BELFAST, WHICH BRUCE CLEARLY TOOK A SHINE TO. AND WITH THE ENTIRE BAND DECKED OUT, TONIGHT DEMONSTRATED WHAT WE'VE SAID BEFORE: NO ONE WEARS A SANTA HAT LIKE BRUCE. NOT EVEN STEVE, THOUGH THE HEADSCARF/HAT COMBO IS A UNIQUE TOUCH. "JOYEUX NOEL FROM THE E STREET BAND!"

DECEMBER 19 / LONDON, UK / THE O2 ARENA

NOTES: "THIS IS A REALLY BIG BUILDING," SPRINGSTEEN SAID OF THE NEW O2 COMPLEX, ITS LUXURY-BOXED SURROUNDED BY SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS, ALL UNDERNEATH AN ENORMOUS FABRIC DOME. "THAT'S OKAY -- WE'RE THE BIG BUILDING KILLERS." HE ADDED, "ALSO KNOWN AS DEAD ASS KILLERS, FOR THOSE OF YOU STILL IN YOUR SEATS!" AND IF KILLING IS THEIR BUSINESS, THEN BUSINESS WAS GOOD -- ESPECIALLY WITH THE "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" SANDWICH IN THE MAIN SET, THAT SONG FEATURING AMAZING GUITAR WORK FROM NILS ONCE AGAIN. "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY," LOVED BY THE CROWD, ALSO HELPED ENLIVEN SOME ASSES AND BRING THE ARENA DOWN TO SIZE. NEARLY THE SAME SETLIST AS PARIS, ONLY WITH "THE RIVER" REPLACED BY TWO SONGS BACK-TO-BACK, "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY" AND "RACING IN THE STREET." THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND "RACING" OF THE TOUR, AFTER ITS DEBUT IN OAKLAND NEARLY TWO MONTHS AGO, AND IT WAS AN AUDIBLE, PLAYED BY REQUEST: "YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING US AROUND FOR TWO MONTHS WITH THAT ONE SIGN," BRUCE NODDED TO A GUY IN THE CROWD, "SO WE'RE GONNA GET THAT ONE FOR YOU." THE RARITY WAS AN ESPECIALLY WELCOME MOMENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SEEING THESE SHOWS NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, TOO. HERE AT THIS LAST E STREET BAND SHOW OF THE LEG AND OF 2007, BRUCE SENT THEM A SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT IN THE ENCORE, "I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE FANS THAT FOLLOWED US ACROSS EUROPE."IN THE ENCORE, CLARENCE -- INTRODUCED TONIGHT AS "THE NEXT KING OF ENGLAND!" -- DID A ROYALLY GOOD JOB ON "JUNGLELAND." (LAST TIME "RACING" AND "JUNGLELAND" WERE PLAYED IN THE SAME SHOW WAS 23 YEARS AGO, 12/13/84 IN MEMPHIS.) FOR THE 25TH AND FINAL SONG, BRUCE ASKED, "DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTY CLAUS?" HE ENCOURAGED THE LOBBING OF HATS ONSTAGE, AND AS THE BAND WAS HABERDASHED FOR THE LAST TIME THIS YEAR, A LITTLE GIRL HAD SOME SPECIAL HEADGEAR JUST FOR STEVE: BOBBLEHEAD SANTA EARMUFFS. STEVE HEMMED AND HAWED, BUT HE COULDN'T SAY NO. SURELY A CLASSIC PHOTO IN THE MAKING (ANYONE?). "HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE E STREET BAND," BRUCE CALLED, WRAPPING UP THE 2007 MAGIC TOUR AND "WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE SUMMER!"

2008

64 SHOWS

FEB 28 HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER HARTFORD, CT

NOTES: WE'LL ADMIT IT, FOR THE FIRST NIGHT BACK AFTER MORE THAN TWO MONTHS OFF, WE WERE EXPECTING A STANDARD SHOW, MAYBE A LITTLE HALTING, AS SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND GOT THEIR FEET BACK UNDER THEM. BUT FROM THE BEGINNING -- AS BRUCE HOLLERED "IS THERE ANYBODY ALIVE OUT THERE!" AND WENT NOT INTO "RADIO NOWHERE" BUT "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE" TO START -- HE AND THE BAND WERE IMMEDIATELY UP TO SPEED, AND HARTFORD WAS A HOT, HIGH-ENERGY SHOW. IN MID-SEASON SHAPE FROM THE MOMENT THEY TOOK THE STAGE, THEY WERE ALSO CLEARLY DETERMINED TO OFFER SOMETHING NEW FOR THIS SECOND SWING AROUND NORTH AMERICA, WITH THREE TOP-TIER TOUR DEBUTS FROM TRACKS. IN ADDITION TO THAT SURPRISE OPENER, "LOOSE ENDS" WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED, WITH BRUCE AND STEVE SHARING EXTENDED VOCALS AT THE END. THE THIRD PREMIERE WAS PLAYED APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH "FOR JANEY," IT WAS "JANEY DON'T YOU LOSE HEART." NILS' FIRST RECORDED VOCAL WITH THE E STREET BAND, TONIGHT THE SONG PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON HIM ONCE AGAIN, A GREAT MOMENT AS HE TOOK OVER TO SING THE SECOND VERSE. PATTI SCIALFA WAS ABSENT TONIGHT, AS WAS DANNY FEDERICI, WITH CHARLES GIORDANO CONTINUING TO FILL IN ON ORGAN AS HE DID IN EUROPE (TONIGHT WAS HIS U.S. DEBUT WITH THE E STREETERS). AFTER TELLING THE CROWD THAT PATTI SENDS HER LOVE, BRUCE WENT ON TO SAY THAT DANNY DOES TOO, OFFERING A LONG-AWAITED UPDATE TO FANS WHO'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THE PHANTOM: "HE'S DOING ALL RIGHT. HOPEFULLY HE'LL MAKE IT OUT FOR A FEW SHOWS ON THIS LEG OF THE TOUR." BRUCE ALSO TOOK THE MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE CHARLIE AND GIVE HIM A BOW. WORKING THE STAGE AND THE CROWD HARD, BRUCE ADDED A FEW NEW THOUGHTS TO THE OFTEN DOWNBEAT "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE" RAP: "I FEEL SOME CHANGES COMING... I FEEL A NEW WIND!" THE SET-CLOSING FIVE-PACK REMAINS INTACT, WITH SOME NICE REFINEMENTS TO "LONG WALK HOME" CARRYING OVER FROM ITS EVOLVING ARRANGEMENT ON THE EUROPEAN TOUR. NILS AND PARTICULARLY STEVE GET TO STEP UP ON VOCALS AT THE END, TO GREAT EFFECT. "DANCING IN THE DARK" DROPPED OUT OF THE ENCORE TO MAKE ROOM FOR AN EPIC DOUBLESHOT, "BACKSTREETS" INTO "KITTY'S BACK," WHERE CHARLIE REALLY GOT A CHANCE TO SHINE. AND OPENING NIGHT -- NOT A WARM-UP BY ANY MEANS -- CAME TO A FAMILIAR CLOSE WITH "AMERICAN LAND." "THIS SHOW JUST PUT A BIG DENT IN MY BANK ACCOUNT," A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME AFTERWARD. HOW COME? "BEFORE, I WAS ON THE FENCE ABOUT HOW MANY I WAS GOING TO SEE THIS TIME," HE SAID. "AFTER 'LOOSE ENDS' I REALIZED, DAMMIT, I'M GONNA HAVE TO SEE 'EM ALL."

MAR 2 BELL CENTRE MONTREAL, QC

NOTES: "BON SOIR, MONTREAL!" AFTER THURSDAY NIGHT'S HARTFORD SHOW MET WITH SUCH RAVES, TONIGHT IN QUEBEC BRUCE AND THE BAND PROVED THAT IT WASN'T JUST OPENING NIGHT ADRENALINE. FOR THE LEG'S SECOND SHOW THEY ONCE AGAIN CAME OUT FULL THROTTLE, WITH AN OPENING BLAST OF "NIGHT" BEFORE MOVING INTO "RADIO NOWHERE," AND NEVER LET UP. FEWER SURPRISES, PERHAPS -- NO DEBUTS OR TRACKS MATERIAL HERE -- BUT PLENTY OF CROWD-PLEASERS IN THE SET. "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" (A NORTH AMERICAN TOUR PREMIERE, AT LEAST) WAS MET WITH A HUGE ROAR AS ROY STARTED THE INTRO. AND YOU GOTTA LOVE A NIGHT WHEN BRUCE CALLS AUDIBLES OF "DARKNESS" (REPLACING THE SETLISTED "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY") AND "JUNGLELAND" (IN THE "BOBBY JEAN"/"THUNDER ROAD" SLOT), WITH ANOTHER HOW-DOES-HE-DO-IT STUNNER OF A SOLO FROM CLARENCE. DURING THE OPENING STRAINS OF "JUNGLELAND," BRUCE SHIELDED HIS EYES FROM THE LIGHT AS HE LOOKED BACK TOWARD SECTION 106, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAN WITH THE SIGN CALLING FOR THIS ONE. AND IT WAS DEFINITELY A NIGHT WHEN PERFORMER AND CROWD WERE IN CONCERT. A NOTABLY YOUNG PIT CROWD KEPT HIM FED WITH ENERGY ALL NIGHT (HE WAS HAPPY TO RETURN THE FAVOR WITH AUTOGRAPHS, EVEN SIGNING A BORN TO RUN EIGHT TRACK TAPE DURING THE SHOW), AND THE WHOLE PLACE JOINED IN A LOUD, ECSTATIC SING-ALONG ON "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY." "GREAT AUDIENCE," SAID THE MAN. AND ANOTHER BY-PROXY GREETING FROM THE PHANTOM: "DANNY SENDS HIS REGARDS -- HE SAYS HE'S DOING QUITE WELL."

MAR 3 COPPS COLISEUM, HAMILTON, ON

NOTES: THE THIRD SHOW OF THE LEG MAKES THREE NIGHTS RUNNING WITH A DIFFERENT OPENER -- TONIGHT IN HAMILTON, IT WAS "NO SURRENDER." THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE FROM MONTREAL IN A SRTAIGHTFORWARD MAIN SET; IN THE ENCORE, "JUNGLELAND" WAS REPLACED BY A CROWD-PLEASING TWO-PACK OF "THUNDER ROAD" AND A STAND-OUT "KITTY'S BACK." AND THE CROWD WAS AUDIBLY PLEASED -- THIS WAS "POSSIBLY THE BEST AUDIENCE IN NORTH AMERICA FOR THE MAGIC TOUR -- INCLUDING BOSTON SHOWS," ONE REGULAR CONCERTGOER REPORTS. THE SOLD-OUT 19,000 SEATER STILL HAD AN INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE, AND IN A CHILLINGLY PERFECT MOMENT, BRUCE STEPPED BACK AS THE WHOLE PLACE BECAME A CHOIR ON THE SECOND LINE OF "THE RIVER." AND THEY JUST WOULDN'T LET "BADLANDS" GO.ONE GUY GOT CARRIED AWAY AND STARTED RUNNING ACROSS THE STAGE DURING "LONG WALK HOME" -- WHICH WAS SURELY WHAT HE HAD IN FRONT OF HIM, AFTER HE WAS TACKLED AND QUICKLY WHISKED AWAY. "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY NILS LOFGREN'S THREE-MINUTE GUITAR WORKSHOP AND THEN A SEAMLESS SEGUE INTO "SHE'S THE ONE." "MAGIC" WAS LAUNCHED WITH "HERE'S TO THE END OF 7 YEARS OF TRICKS." AND CHARLES GIORDANO GAVE A SWEET SEND-OFF TO THE "DEVIL'S ARCADE."

MAR 6 BLUE CROSS ARENA ROCHESTER, NY

NOTES: LAST TIME THE E STREET BAND PLAYED HERE, FIVE YEARS AGO THIS MONTH, THEY TOUR-DEBUTED "FIRE." THIS TIME, IT WAS "COME SIT BY MY FIRE," AS AN IMPROMPTU "ROSALITA" CAME OUT IN ROCHESTER, PURELY BY REQUEST. IN THE ENCORE, AFTER A YOUNG GIRL HELD UP A "ROSALITA, PLEASE" SIGN FOR MUCH OF THE SHOW, BRUCE FINALLY SAID "GIMME THAT SIGN," SLOWLY REVEALED IT TO A LOSING-THEIR-SHIT CROWD, AND LAUNCHED INTO A ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE VERSION OF THE WILD & INNOCENT CLASSIC WITH THE SIGN PROPPED AGAINST THE MIC STAND THE ENTIRE TIME. AND THAT THAT WAS JUST THE ICING ON THE CAKE OF AN INTENSELY HIGH ENERGY SHOW, A PERFECT SYNERGY OF PERFORMER, AUDIENCE, SETLIST, AND SETTING. "IS THIS A NEW BUILDING OR AN OLD BUILDING?" BRUCE ASKED THE CROWD. "OLD BUILDING!" "YEAH, I THOUGHT SO... OLD BUILDINGS ARE STILL THE BEST BUILDINGS." AND HE ROCKED IT BY PACKING THE MAIN SET SOLID: "NIGHT" TO OPEN; "JACKSON CAGE" ADDED BETWEEN "LONESOME DAY" AND "GYPSY BIKER"; TWO BARNBURNERS -- "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" AND AN AUDIBLED "LOOSE ENDS" -- SANDWICHED BETWEEN "REASON" AND "SHE'S THE ONE." IT'S WORTH STARTING A NEW SENTENCE FOR ANOTHER OF TONIGHT'S MOMENTS, "RACING IN THE STREET." AND A CROWD TRULY DESERVING OF THE "ROSIE" BOON COMPLETED THE ENERGY FEEDBACK LOOP. STILL NO RED HEADED WOMAN -- PATTI REMAINS ABSENT FROM THIS LEG SO FAR -- BUT DAMN IF THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE DIRTY JOB DONE. "ROCHESTER NUMBER ONE!" BRUCE HOLLERED AT THE END OF THE NIGHT -- AND HE'S RIGHT, THIS IS A CONTENDER FOR BEST SHOW OF THE TOUR SO FAR. "DON'T LET THEM TEAR THIS BUILDING DOWN!"

MAR 7 HSBC ARENA BUFFALO, NY

ROSALITA, COME OUT TONIGHT? NAH, SHE CAME OUT LAST NIGHT. HOW ABOUT BUFFALO GALS, WON'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT? WELL, CONSIDERING THE LOCALE... WHY THE HELL NOT? YEP, AS BRUCE STARTED TO INTRODUCE "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" BY SAYING "THIS IS FOR THE BUFFALO GIRLS," HE LET THAT TAKE HIM RIGHT INTO AN IMPROMPTU VERSION OF THE SEEGER SESSIONS FAVE. NOT A FULL-BLOWN E STREET BAND RENDITION, BUT AS BRUCE CONTINUED SINGING HE GOT SOOZIE TO HELP OUT ON FIDDLE, AND SOON MAX AND NILS WERE PLAYING ALONG, TOO -- AN OFF-THE-CUFF TREAT THAT KICKED OFF A SEVEN-SONG ENCORE. A FEW SONGS LATER, BRUCE KEPT 'EM DANCING BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON WITH THE SURPRISE TOUR PREMIERE OF THE "DETROIT MEDLEY." AND WHAT A "MEDLEY" IT WAS -- THOUGH UNREHEARSED, IT WAS NOTE-PERFECT, AS OPPOSED TO THE RAGGEDLY RIOTOUS "ROSALITA" THE NIGHT BEFORE. AS TWO-FERS GO -- AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE SNOW (TONIGHT BRUCE RECALLED A BUFFALO VISIT AFTER THE BLIZZARD OF '77)-- ROCHESTER AND BUFFALO WERE THUS FAR THE BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS OF THE TOUR. VENUE-WISE, FROM THE INTIMATE, OLD BLUE CROSS ARENA TO THE CAVERNOUS HSBC, IT WAS DAY AND NIGHT FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY. BUT BRUCE HAS BEEN HAVING A BLAST AND PULLING OUT THE STOPS. AT 26 SONGS TOTAL, BUFFALO OFFERED THE MOST YET, AND THE SHAKE-UPS WEREN'T JUST SAVED FOR THE ENCORE. THE MAIN SET OFFERED "THE TIES THAT BIND" TO OPEN; "BE TRUE," PREVIOUSLY PLAYED ONLY IN CLEVELAND ON THIS TOUR; AND THE RETURN OF "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE." THE CLIMAX OF "LONG WALK HOME" HAS TRULY BECOME A TOUR DE FORCE. STILL NO PATTI, WITH BRUCE STRESSING THE NEED FOR ADULT SUPERVISION BACK HOME: "AS I WAS LEAVING, 100 KIDS WITH BEER KEGS WERE RUSHING UP THE DRIVEWAY... PATTI'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT!"

MAR 10 NASSAU COLISEUM HEMPSTEAD, NY "GOOD EVENING, LONG ISLAND -- HALF-BROTHERS AND -SISTERS OF NEW JERSEY!" SPRINGSTEEN SEEMED TO APPRECIATE BEING BACK AT THE NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, HOME OF HIS RENOWNED NEW YEARS' EVE '80 CONCERT WITH THE E STREET BAND, AND THIS WAS THEIR FIRST SHOW AT THE VENUE IN 20 YEARS, SINCE THE '88 TUNNEL TOUR. THERE WEREN'T THE TOUR PREMIERES OF BUFFALO OR ROCHESTER, BUT A VERY SOLID SHOW, WITH AN ALREADY APPRECIATIVE CROWD WHICH THE BOSS WORKED HARD ANYWAY, AND SOME CHOICE RARITIES. "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" WAS A STAND-OUT, FEATURING AN EXTENDED PASSIONATE GUITAR SOLO FROM BRUCE, SCRAPING HIS STRINGS ACROSS THE MIC STAND. "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET," ALWAYS A SPECIAL MOMENT WHEN IT COMES, PUT GARRY IN THE SPOTLIGHT, HIS BASS HIGH IN THE MIX TO WONDERFUL EFFECT. AND THE ENCORE BROUGHT TWO PREVIOUSLY PLAYED RARITIES -- "JUNGLELAND" AND "RAMROD" -- THAT PUT SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE THRILL OF TOUR PREMIERES: NOT "BUFFALO GALS," BUT WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HEAR? "JUNGLELAND" WAS A FINE RENDITION, WITH OPINIONS MIXED ON WHICH WAS BETTER, THIS, OR THE GARDEN VERSION IN THE FALL. NO DOUBT THIS ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE SPECIAL HAD BRUCE KEPT IN THE SETLISTED "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" THAT WAS TO PRECEDE IT. BUT YOU LIVE BY THE AUDIBLES, YOU DIE BY THE AUDIBLES, AND A COUPLE SONGS LATER BRUCE SHOOK UP THE SETLIST AGAIN (PERHAPS INSPIRED BY THE "LET'S ROADHOUSE" SIGN IN THE CROWD?) WITH AN IMPROMPTU "RAMROD." "IS IT SEXY TIME?" BRUCE ASKED, BEFORE SOME SQUALLS OF FEEDBACK PROMPTED HIM TO DECLARE, "IT'S FUCK-UP TIME!" BUT NAH, AS EVER, IT WAS "BOSS TIME!" AND BRUCE RODE IT ON OUT TO THE TWO-AND-A-HALF HOUR MARK, THE LONGEST OF THIS NEW YORK STATE TRIFECTA.

MARCH 14, 2008

MAR 16 XCEL ENERGY CENTER ST. PAUL, MN

A RETURN ENGAGEMENT AT THE XCEL ENERGY CENTER, WHERE BRUCE AND THE BAND ALSO PLAYED BACK ON NOVEMBER 2. "WE'RE SO GLAD TO BE HERE FOR ROUND TWO!" BRUCE HOLLERED. COMPARISONS ARE INEVITABLE -- SEE JON BREAM'S IN THE STAR TRIBUNE -- TO OUR REPORTERS' EARS, ALTHOUGH THE E STREET BAND IS CONSIDERABLY TIGHTER NOW, THIS WASN'T QUITE AS STRONG A SHOW AS WHAT THE TWIN CITIES GOT IN THE FALL. "WORKMANLIKE" WAS A DESCRIPTOR THAT CAME UP MORE THAN ONCE, POST-SHOW. IT WAS GOOD ENERGY, A GOOD CROWD, AND NO ONE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT "JUNGLELAND" AND "BACKSTREETS" IN THE SAME SHOW. "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" GOT ITS FIRST 2008 AIRING. BUT A CONSIDERABLY SHORTER SHOW (BY 20 MINUTES) THAN FRIDAY NIGHT IN OMAHA, BACK TO A FIVE-SONG ENCORE."JUNGLELAND" WAS REQUESTED BY ZACH, A 13-YEAR-OLD KID RIGHT UP FRONT, WHO GAVE BRUCE A TAPE OF HIMSELF PLAYING "BORN TO RUN"; BRUCE SENT THAT ONE OUT TO HIM. AND SOME OTHER YOUNGSTERS IN THE PIT GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION, BRUCE REALLY GETTING A KICK OUT OF PLAYING TO A TRIO OF EXCITED YOUNG GIRLS AND MAKING SURE THEY EACH GOT HARMONICAS. THEY HAD A SIGN REQUESTING "THE PRICE YOU PAY," AND OKAY, HE WASN'T QUITE THAT OBLIGING... BUT HE DID SIGN AN AUTOGRAPH WITH A FLOURISH, AND HE EVEN TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO ACTUALLY MOVE ONE GIRL SO SHE HAD A BETTER VIEW: "SHE SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS -- SHE'S SHORTER!" PATTI REMAINS ABSENT ON THIS 2008 LEG, BRUCE GIVING ANOTHER UPDATE ON WHAT SHE'S GOT TO GUARD AGAINST ON THE HOME FRONT: "AS I WAS LEAVING, THE HASH BROWNIES WERE JUST COMING OUT OF THE OVEN.... SHE KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT." AND AN APPROPRIATE WISH LEADING INTO THE IRISH FLAVORED "AMERICAN LAND": "HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!"

MAR 17 BRADLEY CENTER MILWAUKEE, WI

"ARE YOU LOOSE?" HOT DAMN, BRUCE WAS TONIGHT, EVEN UTTERING THAT LINE TO CASUALLY REFERENCE THE '75 MILWAUKEE BOMB SCARE SHOW. FOR EVIDENCE OF SAID LOOSENESS, LET'S GO STRAIGHT TO THE SETLIST, WHERE SLOT FOUR BROUGHT "STREETS OF FIRE," LAST PLAYED ON THE RISING TOUR NEARLY FIVE YEARS AGO, IN AUGUST OF 2003. A FEW SONGS LATER AND IT'S "SAINT IN THE CITY," PLAYED ONLY ONCE PREVIOUSLY ON THIS TOUR. "THAT ALMOST GOT AWAY FROM US!" SAID BRUCE. FOR "CADILLAC RANCH" HE DIDN'T EVEN SING THE "THROUGH THE WISCONSIN NIGHT" LINE, JUST HELD THE MIC OUT TO THE CROWD, WHICH WAS HAPPY TO OBLIGE. SPEAKING OF "CADILLAC RANCH," IF YOU MISS NILS' GIANT COWBOY HAT OF DAYS OLD, YOU'D HAVE BEEN BEEN HAPPY TO SEE HIM ON THIS ONE IN HIS BRIGHT GREEN ST. PATRICK'S DAY TOPPER. ON TO THE ENCORE, WHERE "LOOSE ENDS" -- "STEVIE REQUEST!" -- REPLACED "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" TO KICK THINGS OFF. NEXT, ALWAYS THE MARK OF A SPECIAL NIGHT, WAS "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" INTO "JUNGLELAND." FOR "MEETING," THEY WERE JOINED BY RENOWNED JAZZ BASSIST RICHARD DAVIS, WHOSE EARLY-'70S RECORDINGS WITH BRUCE INCLUDED PLAYING UPRIGHT ON THIS STUDIO RECORDING FROM BORN TO RUN. VAN ZANDT TOLD ROLLING STONE IN 2005: "WE HAD RICHARD DAVIS, WHO PLAYED BASS ON [VAN MORRISON'S] ASTRAL WEEKS, COME IN FOR ["MEETING'] -- AND ASTRAL WEEKS WAS LIKE A RELIGION TO US." BRUCE TALKED ABOUT THAT A BIT ON STAGE TONIGHT, TOO. AT 77, DAVIS IS A PROFESSOR OF MUSIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON; WE'RE TOLD THIS WAS HIS FIRST SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT. IF "LOOSE ENDS" AND "MEETING" DIDN'T SHAKE THE ENCORE UP ENOUGH FOR YA, "RAMROD" TOOK THE USUAL "DANCING IN THE DARK" SLOT IN THE SIX-SONG ENCORE. "AMERICAN LAND" CLOSED THE NIGHT AS USUAL -- IF EVER THERE'S EVER A NIGHT TO SHAKE THAT ONE UP, ST. PATTY'S DAY AIN'T IT. WHILE STEVIE GOT A GREEN HAT OF HIS OWN AND GARRY ROCKED SOME SHAMROCK GLASSES, BRUCE DEDICATED THE SONG TO PAT RILEY AND OFFERED AN IRISH BENEDICTION, "MAY THE ROAD ALWAYS RISE TO MEET YOU, AND THE WIND BE AT YOUR BACK." A TWIN CITIES RESIDENT, COMING OFF A RELATIVELY UNDISTINGUISHED HOMETOWN SHOW, CALLS THIS ONE "EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT WASN'T." AND LEST YOU THINK IT CAN'T POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS, TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST, WHICH WENT THROUGH FOUR ITERATIONS TONIGHT: THE AUDIBLED "MY HOMETOWN" REPLACED "RACING IN THE STREET," AND "RAMROD" HAD AN ALTERNATE IN "ROSALITA." BUT MILWAUKEE, THEY'RE NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET... "WE'LL BE BACK IN THE SUMMERTIME!"

MAR 20 CONSECO FIELDHOUSE INDIANAPOLIS, IN

BEFORE OPENING WITH "NIGHT," BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN INTRODUCED "THE BIGGEST LITTLE BAR BAND IN THE WORLD!" AND TONIGHT, THEY GOT BIGGER BY ONE. NOT PATTI SCIALFA BACK FROM TENDING THE HOME FIRES, NOT YET... BUT THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF DANNY FEDERICI. THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW HAD ITS HIGHLIGHTS: BRUCE SAYING "LET ME SEE THAT SIGN!" AND USING IT TO CALL "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" AS AN AUDIBLE, THE TOUR DEBUT OF "RENDEZVOUS" AS ANOTHER REQUEST-BY-SIGN. BUT WHEN DANNY EMERGED FOR "THE PROMISED LAND," IT WAS A GAME-CHANGING MOMENT. "WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL TREAT TONIGHT," SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE CROWD AFTER "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE," "DANNY FEDERICI IS WITH US!" COMING OUT FOR HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE WITH THE BAND SINCE BOSTON IN NOVEMBER, DANNY GAVE CHARLIE GIORDANO A HUG BEFORE RECLAIMING HIS OLD SPOT ON THE ORGAN RISER (GIORDANO SUBTLY DISAPPEARED). CONFERRING WITH DANNY AFTER "THE PROMISED LAND," BRUCE THEN STEPPED TO THE MIC AND SAID, "HE'S GONNA MAKE ME GO OLD SCHOOL ON YOU!" AS DANNY RIPPED INTO "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT." BY THIS POINT, THEY WERE FLYING. AND FINALLY -- "WE CAN'T LET HIM LEAVE WITHOUT DOING THIS ONE!" -- IT WAS "FOURTH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)," WITH DANNY STRAPPING ON THE ACCORDION. IN A SEAMLESS TRANSITION, CHARLIE CAME BACK IN ON "DEVIL'S ARCADE," TAKING OVER FOR THE FIVE-PACK. BUT IN THE ENCORE, DANNY WAS BACK AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DO THIS ONE AND DEDICATE THIS ONE TO DAN," BRUCE SAID, AS THEY BEGAN THE ENCORE WITH "BACKSTREETS." THAT WENT INTO A PHENOMENAL "KITTY'S BACK," OF COURSE ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE FOR THE PHANTOM TO SHINE.NOW, THE THING IS, IT'S UNCLEAR HOW MUCH OF THE CROWD APPRECIATED THE GIFT THAT WAS DANNY'S PRESENCE TONIGHT. WITH ONLY 10,000 FANS FILLING AN 18,000 SEATER, THE AUDIENCE ENERGY WASN'T EXACTLY THROUGH THE ROOF AS IT WAS, AND THERE WAS THE SENSE THAT MANY IN THE BUILDING WEREN'T QUITE ATTUNED TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. BUT THE EMOTIONS ONSTAGE WERE UNMISTAKABLE. DURING "KITTY'S BACK," THE HUGE SMILE ON CLARENCE'S FACE AS HE WATCHED DANNY PLAY SAID IT ALL. TO CAP OFF THE NIGHT, ALL THREE KEYBOARD PLAYERS WERE THERE FOR "AMERICAN LAND," CHARLIE COMING BACK OUT TO JOIN ROY FOR THE DUAL ACCORDIONS, AND DANNY AT HIS STATION ON THE ORGAN. WELCOME BACK, DAN. HOPE YOU'LL MAKE A HABIT OF IT. OH, AND I CAN'T FORGET TO MENTION HANNAH, THE LITTLE GIRL WHOM BRUCE BROUGHT ONSTAGE TO DANCE WITH HIM NOT ONCE BUT TWICE ON "DANCING IN THE DARK." A TRADITION WORTH REVIVING, AND IT DON'T GET MUCH CUTER. ADDENDUM: WE'VE HEARD FROM A NUMBER OF INDY FANS LIKE JOHN DAMM, OFFERING NUMEROUS GOOD REASONS FOR THE TURNOUT, FROM SPRING BREAK TO MARCH MADNESS TO THE WISDOM OF LOCALS WHO KNOW THAT "THE UPPER DECK AT CONSECO ABSOLUTELY SUCKS BOTH AUDIO- AND VISION-WISE FOR A ROCK CONCERT. HOOSIERS HAVE LONG AGO LEARNED THAT ONE MIGHT AS WELL BE IN SIBERIA AS SIT IN THE UPPER LEVEL FOR A ROCK CONCERT HERE." STEW BRASE, WHO HAS BEEN TO EVERY INDY SHOW SINCE '76, CONTENDS, "I THINK LAST NIGHT'S MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BEST. WITH DANNY'S RETURN, THE EMOTIONAL LEVEL OF THE 'TRUE BELIEVERS' IN THE AUDIENCE WAS THROUGH THE ROOF, AND ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T A SELL-OUT, THE 10,000 YOU REPORTED WERE VERY SPIRITED AND INTO THE SHOW."

MAR 22 U.S. BANK ARENA CINCINNATI, OH

A DISAPPOINTING NIGHT IN CINCINNATI, A FAR CRY FROM THE EXUBERANT, ADRENALIZED PERFORMANCE IN INDY JUST TWO NIGHTS AGO. NOT THAT ADRENALINE WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY TONIGHT -- YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY CONSIDER IT THE CULPRIT. SPRINGSTEEN TOOK THE BAND THROUGH THE SHOW AT SUCH A BREAKNECK PACE, THEY HAD BARELY PASSED THE TWO-HOUR MARK BY THE TIME "AMERICAN LAND" WAS THROUGH. THAT'S NOT JUST CLOCK-WATCHING -- IT WAS SORELY FELT IN THE PERFORMANCE, WITH HARDCORE FANS IN THE CROWD WONDERING ALL NIGHT, "WHAT THE... WHY IS HE RACING THROUGH THIS?" PACING WITHIN SONGS, PACING BETWEEN SONGS, VERY LITTLE TALK... WAS THERE A PLANE TO CATCH? EVEN BRUCE SEEMED TO KNOW THAT THE FREIGHT TRAIN WENT OFF THE TRACKS: AFTER "AMERICAN LAND," WITH THE HOUSE LIGHTS UP AND THE CREW ALREADY STARTING TO BREAK THINGS DOWN, HE CAME BACK OUT WITH THE BAND. ("THE BOSS SNEAK," AS HE USED TO CALL IT.) SPRINGSTEEN SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHOW BEING TOO SHORT, AND FANS SURGED INTO THE PIT AS THEY GOT A BONUS "KITTY'S BACK." STILL, AS ONE PUT IT, "THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE." THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT, IF THIS WAS YOUR ONLY SHOW, YOU WOULDN'T FEEL THIS WAY AT ALL. AND AT LEAST ON PAPER, IT WOULD LOOK TO BE A FINE NIGHT WITH LOTS OF SETLIST SHAKE-UPS: "DARLINGTON COUNTY" TO OPEN, AUDIBLES OF "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" (WITH A KILLER SOLO FROM NILS) AND "BE TRUE," AND THE TOUR PREMIERES OF "GLORY DAYS" AND "LOST IN THE FLOOD." THE LATTER WAS NO DOUBT A BIG HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW. CROWD WAS GREAT, TOO. WHICH MADE IT PARTICULARLY PUZZLING THAT, COMPARED TO SO MANY PERFORMANCES ON THIS TOUR, "BRUCE SEEMED HALFWAY OUT THE DOOR ALL NIGHT." NOT IN CINCY MYSELF, AND NOT QUITE BELIEVING WHAT I WAS HEARING AFTER THE SHOW, I TALKED TO A FEW MORE FANS ON LOCATION... AND THEY ALL TOLD THE SAME TALE: "SONGS WERE OVER BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN REGISTER WHAT HE WAS DOING." "IT WAS THE FIRST TIME, FOR ME, THAT BRUCE JUST LOOKED LIKE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE ON THAT STAGE." "AFTER 400 SHOWS, I CAN SAY THAT'S THE MOST DISAPPOINTING SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN." AND FOR SOME REASON THE ONE THAT HIT ME THE HARDEST: "PERFUNCTORY." OUCH.

MAR 24 SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTER COLUMBUS, OH

FOR ANYONE WHO TOOK NEGATIVE REPORTS FROM CINCINNATI AS SOME KIND OF DEATH-KNELL, OR THE START OF A DOWNWARD TREND, TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE SHOWED CINCY TO BE AN ABERRATION, JUST A WEIRD BLIP. SPRINGSTEEN QUASHED ANY FEARS NOT WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER, OR ANY KIND OF APPARENT VENGEANCE, BUT BY DOING WHAT HE AND THE E STREETERS TYPICALLY DO NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. A STRONG PERFORMANCE WITH INSPIRING SOLOS AND BAND INTERACTION, BRUCE FEELING THE MATERIAL AND THE CROWD, FOR A GREAT NIGHT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL. AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS. "SO GLAD TO BE IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL CITY TONIGHT!" BRUCE HOLLERED AS USUAL, NOW ADDING, "AND ON THIS CAMPUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION!" YOU MIGHT CONSIDER THIS SETLIST SCHOOL, WITH A GOOD NUMBER OF SHAKE-UPS AND PREMIERES. RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, "THE TIES THAT BIND" WAS A LAST-MINUTE REPLACEMENT FOR THE SETLISTED "TWO HEARTS" OPENER. SPRINGSTEEN AUDIBLED "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" AS WELL, AND A COUPLE SONGS LATER IT WAS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" (LAST PLAYED DURING THE WARM-UPS LAST FALL). IN A MAJOR SHAKE-UP, "MAGIC" -- THE TOUR'S TITLE TRACK -- WAS LEFT OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. BUT ANOTHER MAGIC SONG HAD ITS WORLD PREMIERE, WITH "YOU'LL BE COMIN' DOWN" FINALLY GETTING A LONG-AWAITED LIVE AIRING (HERE'S HOPING IT STAYS IN THE SET). AND THE LOWERCASE MAGIC CONTINUED, LIKE NILS' MASTERFUL SOLO ON "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND THE MOMENT IN "SHE'S THE ONE" WHEN HE AND BRUCE DRAGGED THEIR GUITAR NECKS ACROSS THE MIC STANDS AT THE SAME TIME. BEFORE "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE," BRUCE CRACKED, "I THINK SOMEBODY'S BEEN LOOKING IN MY PASSPORT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU!" THE FUN CONTINUED WITH THE THIRD OF THREE TOUR PREMIERES, A LOOSEY-GOOSEY "SHERRY DARLING" -- WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY BRUCE CALLING OUT, "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!" AT FIRST, HE SEEMED TO BE REFERENCING THE KINDA-CONFUSING NOTION HE SHARED BEFORE THE SONG THAT "SHERRY DARLING" HAD WON A VOTE TO BE PLAYED TONIGHT (APPARENTLY THERE WAS A LOCAL PICK-A-SONG RADIO CONTEST, WHICH FLEW UNDER OUR RADAR AND UNDER MOST OF THE CROWD'S AS WELL)... BUT IT SOON BECAME CLEAR THAT HE WAS MOVING ON, AS HE GRABBED A SIGN IN THE PIT CALLING FOR "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET." THE TWO GIANT DISCO BALLS ON THE SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTER CEILING CAME INTO PLAY -- NO, THOSE DOTS OF LIGHT WEREN'T A HALLUCINATION -- PERHAPS ADDING TO THE '70S FLASHBACK. BUT THIS "INCIDENT" WAS TRULY IN-THE-MOMENT, PARTICULARLY AS BRUCE TURNED AROUND TO THE BAND BEFORE ROY'S PIANO CODA, MAKING A PALPABLE CONNECTION WITH THE BAND. AFTER THE FIVE-PACK, "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" WAS BACK, AND THE SHAKE-UPS CONTINUED WITH "BORN TO RUN" MOVED UP TO THE SECOND ENCORE SLOT. THAT BROUGHT ANOTHER REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT: A TWO-PIECE HORN SECTION FOR "BORN TO RUN," WITH AN UNANNOUNCED ED MANION (LONGTIME JUKE AND A MULTIPLE SPRINGSTEEN TOUR VET) COMING OUT ON BARITONE SAX. THE KINGFISH WAS DANCING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME, HIS FIRST TIME BACK WITH BRUCE SINCE THE SESSIONS TOUR. HOW TO FOLLOW THAT UP? HOW ABOUT A STRONG, TIGHT "ROSALITA"? THE NIGHT'S PENULTIMATE SONG WAS "GLORY DAYS" AS AN AUDIBLE IN PLACE OF "DANCING IN THE DARK," SO INSTEAD OF A SINGLE DANCE PARTNER ON STAGE, BRUCE REACHED OUT TO THE WHOLE PLACE: "IT'S OHIO TIME!"

MAR 28 THE ROSE GARDEN PORTLAND, OR

FRIDAY NIGHT'S SHOW AT THE ROSE GARDEN HAD ITS MOMENTS, BUT IT TOOK A WHILE FOR THEM TO MATERIALIZE. A SLUGGISH START GAVE WAY TO A GOOD RUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW, AND TO SEVERAL SURPRISES, WITH FEW OF THEM WRITTEN ON THE SET LIST. RATHER, THEY CAME COURTESY OF AN ABUNDANCE OF SIGNS. TAKING ONE CUE FROM A FAN, SPRINGSTEEN INDICATED THAT HE WOULD HONOR THE REQUEST DESPITE THE SIGN LOOKING "CHEAP." "WE TREAT THEM ALL ALIKE," HE SAID. AND IN THIS INSTANCE, HE PLAYED NOT ONE BUT TWO FAVORITES OFF GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK IN SUCCESSION, EACH PLAYED FOR ONLY THE SECOND TIME ON THE TOUR: "FOR YOU" FOLLOWED BY "LOST IN THE FLOOD." THE LATTER SHOWED REAL E STREET METTLE, AS ROY AND BRUCE HAD TO WORK TO GET THEIR PARTS SYNCED JUST RIGHT. ONCE THE BAND KICKED IN, THE SONG REALLY BELONGED TO MAX WEINBERG, WHO PUSHED THE BAND HARD ALL NIGHT LONG. NILS LOFGREN HAD HIS MOMENT ON A SUPERB "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT," TAKING AN EXTENDED SOLO TO END THE SONG. AND CLARENCE DIDN'T WAIT UNTIL "JUNGLELAND" TO SHINE (ANOTHER REQUEST IN THE ENCORE, COURTESY OF A SIGN THAT WAS A GORGEOUS LIKENESS OF AN OREGON LICENSE PLATE). THE BIG MAN SOUNDED STRONG THROUGHOUT THE SHOW, PARTICULARLY ON THE "NIGHT" OPENER; HE LOST HIS WAY A BIT AT THE END OF THE "JUNGLELAND" SOLO, BUT THE BAND COVERED NICELY. THOUGH PARTS OF THE SHOW SOUNDED RUSHED -- "LAST TO DIE," IN PARTICULAR WAS A SPRINT -- BRUCE WAS IN GOOD HUMOR THROUGHOUT. HE JOKED THAT THE POT SMOKE WAFTING UP FROM THE PIT MIGHT CAUSE A SHORTER SHOW (IT ENDED UP CLOCKING IN AT A RESPECTABLE 2:20). LATER, SPOTTING A GROUP OF WOMEN IN THE PIT WEARING TEE SHIRTS THAT READ "LESBIANS [HEART] BRUCE," HE CHANGED A LINE IN "AMERICAN LAND" FROM "THE GERMANS AND THE JEWS" TO "LESBIANS AND JEWS." THOUGH THE SHOW DIDN'T SELL OUT, THE CROWD WAS RECEPTIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC, AND THE QUIET PARTS OF THE SHOW WERE PIN-DROP QUIET. THAT MADE "MAGIC" (RETURNING TO THE SET AFTER A NIGHT OFF) AND THE LAST VERSE OF "JUNGLELAND" PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE.

MAR 29 KEY ARENA SEATTLE, WA

SATURDAY'S 24-SONG SET FOUND SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME, DELIVERING A STELLAR PERFORMANCE TO A SOLD-OUT HOUSE. THIS SHOW DREW ON THE HALLMARKS OF THIS TOUR: IT WAS LEAN AND FAST, BUT NEVER FELT RUSHED. WITH THE SURPRISE OPENER -- "TRAPPED," IN ITS TOUR DEBUT -- BRUCE AND THE BAND BEGAN TO ESTABLISH THEIR ENERGY AND PACE, AND THEY MAINTAINED IT THROUGHOUT THE SHOW. WHEN SPRINGSTEEN REMARKED THAT THEY WERE "FLYING BY THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS," HE WAS REFERRING TO NOTHING MORE THAN A MINOR TECHNICAL GLITCH THAT DELAYED THE SOUND FROM THE ORGAN ON THE FIRST SONG. "A LITTLE PANIC IS GOOD FOR THE SYSTEM," SAID SPRINGSTEEN. EVEN BETTER IS THE MUSICIANSHIP THAT WAS THE RULE IN THIS SHOW: "REASON TO BELIEVE" STOOD TALL ONCE AGAIN, AND NILS LOFGREN'S SOLO IN "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" ELICITED ONE OF THE EVENING'S MORE ENTHUSED REPSONSES FOR ITS TECHNICAL AND SONIC WIZARDRY. THE E STREET BAND SOUNDS AS POWERFUL AND COHESIVE ON THIS NUMBER AS IT EVER HAS, AND TONIGHT'S VERSION WAS A PRIME EXAMPLE. AFTER A RARE "YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY" (PLAYED "FOR ED" -- VEDDER, WE PRESUME), "POINT BLANK" MADE ITS TOUR DEBUT AND BROUGHT AN EVEN SHARPER FOCUS ONTO THE BAND'S RANGE AND FEEL FOR A RARELY-PLAYED SONG, AS CHARLES GIORDANO AND STEVE VAN ZANDT PROVIDED AN EERIE VIBE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE INSTRUMENTS. THROUGHOUT, THE MUSIC SOUNDED TIGHT, THE BAND APPEARED RELAXED, AND THEY STAYED IN A GROOVE TO THE FINISH. ALTHOUGH THE ENCORE WAS ONE OR TWO SONGS SHORTER THAN USUAL, ONE LONGTIME SPRINGSTEEN OBSERVER REMARKED THAT "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" (LAST PLAYED IN DECEMBER) AND "ROSALITA" BOTH "FELT LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR" (IN BOTH INSTANCES, SPRINGSTEEN TOOK SIGNS FROM THE AUDIENCE). IN SUM, IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT. THAT WASN'T JUST A REFRAIN FROM FANS: THAT WAS WHAT SPRINGSTEEN THANKED THE AUDIENCE FOR AS HE TOOK HIS FINAL BOW AND WALKED OFF STAGE.

MAR 31 GM PLACE VANCOUVER, BC

HOT OFF AN OUTSTANDING NIGHT IN SEATTLE, AND PLAYING THEIR THIRD PACIFIC NORTHWEST SHOW IN FOUR DAYS, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND BROUGHT SOME OF THE EMERALD CITY MAGIC NORTH OF THE BORDER TO VANCOVER. NAMELY, THREE OF THE SONGS THAT MADE THE SEATTLE SHOW SUCH A SPECIAL ONE: "TRAPPED," "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," AND "ROSALITA," ALL REPRISED HERE. BUT BRUCE WASN'T CONTENT WITH A REPEAT; TWO MORE TOUR PREMIERES KEPT THE SETLIST PROGRESSION ROLLING. RIGHT OFF THE BAT WAS "ATLANTIC CITY," A CLASSIC E STREET ARRANGEMENT THAT SOMEHOW NEVER GETS TIRED, AND A RIGHTEOUS OPENING SHOT (ALONG WITH "NIGHT" IN PORTLAND AND "TRAPPED" IN SEATTLE, WHAT A POWERHOUSE TRIO OF OPENERS FOR THE PNW). LATER IN THE SET WAS ANOTHER TOUR PREMIERE -- A WORLD PREMIERE WITH THE E STREET BAND, IN FACT -- AND IF WE'D REPORTED IT ON APRIL FOOL'S DAY, YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. FOR TWO DECADES, "NONE BUT THE BRAVE" WAS A LONG-LOST BORN IN THE U.S.A. OUTTAKE, OVERLOOKED BY THE 1998 TRACKS BOX SET, BELOVED BY HARDCORE FANS AND TAPE TRADERS AND VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN OTHERWISE. IN 2003, SPRINGSTEEN FINALLY RELEASED THE SONG ON DISC 3 OF ESSENTIAL, AND THAT DECEMBER HE DEBUTED THE SONG LIVE AT HIS ASBURY PARK HOLIDAY SHOWS.... BUT IT STILL REMAINS ONE OF THOSE UNDER-APPRECIATED, UNDER-THE-RADAR CUTS. NEARLY FIVE YEARS LATER, "NONE BUT THE BRAVE" GETS ITS FIRST E STREET IN-CONCERT TREATMENT. NICE TO SEE IT COME OUT INTO THE LIGHT. A MUCH MORE SPARSELY ATTENDED SHOW THAN SEATTLE, AND A GENERAL DROP IN CROWD ENERGY, TOO. BUT BRUCE KEPT IT TURNED ON FROM HIS END -- CHECK OUT AIR SPRINGSTEEN! -- AND IT MUST BE SAID, NILS CONTINUES TO ASTOUND WITH HIS "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" GUITAR WIZARDRY. STILL NO PATTI: "THE FORT MUST BE GUARDED," SAYS BRUCE.

APR 4 ARCO ARENA SACRAMENTO, CA

A REAL FRIDAY NIGHT KIND OF SHOW. BETWEEN "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT," "SHERRY DARLING," AND "ROSALITA" (NOT TO MENTION HIS DESCRIPTION OF WHAT PATTI WAS GUARDING AGAINST BACK HOME AS HE LEFT: "THE BEER KEGS WERE ROLLING UP THE DRIVEWAY, THE POT BROWNIES WERE IN THE OVEN, AND THE GIRLS GONE WILD TOUR BUS WAS PULLING UP!"), IT SEEMED BRUCE HAD YOUTHFUL PARTYING ON THE BRAIN. "SPIRIT" WASN'T QUITE A SURPRISE, SINCE IT WAS THE WINNER OF THE KSEG PICK-A-SONG CONTEST, BUT WHO EXPECTED IT TO KICK OFF THE SHOW? SO THE FIRST SONG OF THE NIGHT FOUND BRUCE SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE STAGE, HIS LEGS HANGING INTO THE CROWD, LOOKING AT ONE POINT LIKE HE MIGHT EVEN JUMP OFF. MORE DYNAMISM AS BRUCE THREW IN SOME TOWNSHEND-ESQUE WINDMILLS AT THE END OF "GYPSY BIKER"; AFTER A BREATHER WITH "MAGIC," THE WAILING GUITARS CONTINUED ON THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "MURDER INCORPORATED." IT LOOKED LIKE "REASON TO BELIVE" WOULD FOLLOW, BUT BRUCE WAVED IT OFF (FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS TOUR) IN FAVOR OF "CANDY'S ROOM," AND THE BREATHLESSNESS CONTINUED FROM THERE THROUGH "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" AND "SHE'S THE ONE." JEFF BRISTOW REPORTS: "THIS SHOW WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TONE FROM THE TWO OAKLAND SHOWS THIS PAST FALL. THEN, IT WAS BRUCE AND THE BAND WORKING VERY HARD, PLAYING HARD, AND A FEW NICE SURPRISES HERE AND THERE. GREAT SHOWS, BUT THEY HAD A VERY STRUCTURED FEEL TO THEM. SACRAMENTO SEEMED TO BE ALL ABOUT HAVING A BLAST. WHEN THEY OPENED WITH 'SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT,' ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED EARLY ON WAS HOW MUCH FUN BRUCE SEEMED TO BE HAVING. FOR A SONG THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED VERY LITTLE ON THE TOUR, THEY NAILED IT. AND THE CROWD WAS COMPLETELY INTO IT. "AND THAT MOOD CARRIED THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT. BRUCE JUST SEEMED TO BE HAVING A LOT OF FUN WITH THE SONGS AND THE CROWD, AT TIMES HE JUST SEEMED ALMOST GOOFY, IN A GOOD WAY! I MANAGED TO CHECK OUT THE SETLIST A FEW SONGS IN, AND THERE WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS ON THAT PAPER AND WHAT WAS PLAYED, LOTS OF AUDIBLES. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT 'SHERRY DARLING,' 'CANDY'S ROOM,' AND 'ROSALITA' WERE NOT ON THE LIST. 'INCIDENT,' 'THUNDER ROAD,' AND 'REASON TO BELIEVE' WERE. BUT I CAN SEE WHY THE CHANGES WERE MADE, WITH BRUCE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND THE CROWD EATING IT UP, THOSE SONGS MIGHT HAVE SLOWED THINGS DOWN, WHERE THIS WAS JUST ONE BIG PARTY. OH, AND NILS KILLED ON HIS SOLO FOR 'BECAUSE THE NIGHT.' "ON THE RISING TOUR WE GOT A VERY SPECIAL SHOW IN SAC, AND TONIGHT WAS AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS WHERE IT FELT LIKE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN, AND I HAVEN’T SEEN HIM HAVING THIS MUCH OF A GOOD TIME ON STAGE PROBABLY SINCE THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. TOUR."SIGNS WERE PART OF THE FUN LAST NIGHT, TOO -- AND NOT JUST SONG REQUESTS. DURING "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE," BRUCE PLUCKED A "CLARENCE FOR PRESIDENT" SIGN OUT OF THE CROWD, AND AFTER CARRYING IT FOR A WHILE HE SET IT UP AGAINTS NILS' MIC STAND, WHERE IT STAYED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHOW. AFTER "SHERRY," BRUCE WAS VISIBLY LOOKING FOR SIGNS, WITH STEVE CALLING HIS ATTENTION TO ONE FOR "HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN." BRUCE REMARKED, INTO THE MIC, "WE CAN'T DO THAT ONE." FINALLY SPOTTING ONE FOR "BACKSTREETS," BRUCE POINTED TO IT AND GAVE THE BAND THEIR CUE. TWO MORE AUDIBLES IN THE ENCORE, WITH BRUCE PROPPING A "ROSIE" SIGN ON THE STAGE AS THEY PLAYED THAT ONE, AND GOING ON TO REPLACE THE SETLISTED "GLORY DAYS" WITH "RAMROD."

APR 5 HP PAVILLION SAN JOSE, CA

JUST DOWN THE ROAD A PIECE -- ONLY A COUPLE HOURS' DRIVE FROM THE PREVIOUS NIGHT'S SHOW IN SACRAMENTO -- SAN JOSE GOT A RADICALLY DIVERGENT SETLIST, WITH TEN SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND A DISTINCT MOOD SHIFT ALL THE WAY AROUND. THE PLAYFUL, LOOSE BRUCE WAS LARGELY SIDELINED, REPLACED BY THE MORE IN-CONTROL BANDLEADER. WHEREAS "PARTY TIME" WAS THE KEY WORD ON FRIDAY, ON SATURDAY IT WAS "ORCHESTRAL." THE SOUND WAS GORGEOUS, AND IT WAS THE RIGHT SHOW FOR THAT: A NOTE-PERFECT "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" AND A STUNNING "INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET" BEING CASES IN POINT. THE ORCHESTRAL FEEL OF "BOBBY JEAN," TOO, WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN ITS TOUR DEBUT AS THE NEXT-TO-LAST NUMBER. SO, NOT NEARLY THE FRENETIC, WHAT-WILL-HAPPEN NEXT FEEL OF FRIDAY, BUT BY NO MEANS A LETDOWN -- JUST ANOTHER SIDE OF BRUCE. THE RADIO WINNER, COURTESY OF KFOG, WAS THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "FIRE" -- AND IT WAS A BLAST, WITH BRUCE AND CLARENCE MUGGING AND MILKING THE ROMEO AND JULIET PART FOR ALL IT WAS WORTH. RATHER THAN OPENING THE SET WITH THE CONTEST PICK, AS THEY DID IN SACREMENTO, BRUCE PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE (CALLING THE POLL A "FABULOUS MARKETING PLAN TO PUT THE FANNIES IN THE SEATS"). INSTEAD, ANOTHER TOUR PREMIERE KICKED OFF THE SHOW, THE SURPRISE DEBUT OF "OUT IN THE STREET," COMPLETE WITH ADUIENCE CALL-AND-RESPONSE (AND THE CROWD WAS RIGHT THERE ALL NIGHT). MORE SHAKE-UPS: "TRAPPED" HAD THE WHOLE CROWD SINGING AND PUMPING THEIR FISTS; "REASON TO BELIEVE" WAS THANKFULLY BACK IN AFTER JUST A ONE-SHOW ABSENCE; NILS' SPOTLIGHT NUMBER WAS "PROVE IT" INSTEAD OF "BECAUSE THE NIGHT." TONS OF SIGNS, ONCE AGAIN -- THE "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" PLACARD BRUCE GRABBED WAS DOUBLE-SIDED, SO IT WAS UNCLEAR AT FIRST IF THEY'D BE PLAYING THAT ONE OF "STREETS OF FIRE." EITHER WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST FINE. "INCIDENT POR FAVOR" WAS ANOTHER GRANTED REQUEST, AND THE AUDIBLED ENCORE OPENER WAS PLAYED FOR A SIGN THAT READ "AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG FOR THE DETROIT MEDLEY." BRUCE ALSO HELD UP A SIGN READING "BRUCE, YOU'RE MY REAL DAD" AS HE RECALLED, "I WAS IN THESE PARTS IN 1969...." BUT THE TOPPER -- LITERALLY -- WAS A GUY IN THE FRONT OF THE PIT WITH "GLORY DAYS" WRITTEN ON HIS FOREHEAD IN BLACK MARKER. BRUCE PULLED HIM ON STAGE AND MARCHED HIM OVER TO THE CAMERA TO GIVE EVERYONE A GOOD LOOK, THEN LAUNCHED THE BAND INTO THE SONG, WHICH DREW A HUGE REACTION FROM THE CROWD. NOW THAT'S USING YOUR HEAD.

APR 7 HONDA CENTER ANAHEIM, CA

BRUCE SAID IT HIMSELF, AFTER "MURDER INCORPORATED": "WE'RE OUT FOR BLOOD!" TRUE ENOUGH, IT WAS A MONSTER SHOW -- ENERGY HIGH, BRUCE LOOSE, SURPRISE SONGS AND SURPRISE GUESTS TAKING THE WHOLE THING EVEN HIGHER. KEEPING THE STRING OF UNIQUE OPENERS GOING, BRUCE HOLLERED TO STEVE, "I SEE A LIGHT UP THERE!" BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE TOUR PREMIERE OF A STREAMLINED "LIGHT OF DAY." SO IT WAS FRENETIC FROM THE START, AND THE CROWD ATE IT UP -- BRUCE MIXED IN A FEW BARS OF "CALIFORNIA SUN" FOR THEM, TOO. BLISTERING SELECTIONS LIKE "MURDER INCORPORATED" AND "TRAPPED" KEPT THE INTENSITY UP. THE NIGHT'S RADIO STATION POLL WINNER WAS "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," AND AS USUAL, NILS CRANKED OUT ANOTHER MIND-BLOWING GUITAR SOLO. A FEW SONGS LATER, THOUGH, HE HAD SOME STIFF COMPETITION... OR, ON SECOND THOUGHT, LET'S CALL IT A FELLOW TRAVELER. AFTER "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY," BRUCE MADE THE INTRODUCTION: "I'VE GOT A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE HERE WITH ME TONIGHT, GONNA COME UP AND DO A SONG -- MISTER TOM MORELLO FROM RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!" AND THE CROWD GOES WILD. "TOMMY ALSO MAKES GREAT ACOUSTIC RECORDS, AS THE NIGHTWATCHMAN," BRUCE ADDED, BUT THERE WAS LITTLE ACOUSTIC ABOUT THIS PREMIERE OF "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD." IT WAS A POUNDING, FULL-BAND ELECTRIC ARRANGEMENT, FEATURING NILS ON PEDAL STEEL, CHARLIE GIORDANO ON ACCORDION, AND MORELLO ON GUITAR (TO PUT IT MILDLY) AND VOCALS. IMAGINE A COMBINATION OF RATM'S "JOAD," WHICH THEY RELEASED IN THE '90S, AND THE E STREET BAND'S TAKE ON "YOUNGSTOWN." OR HECK, HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF. BRUCE AND TOM TRADED VOCALS -- BRUCE TAKING THE FIRST VERSE, TOM THE SECOND, AND THEY SPLIT THE THIRD -- AND HERE WAS A CASE OF A GUY WHO WAS PREPARED FOR HIS GUEST SPOT. MORELLO NAILED IT. ON THE SIX-STRING, MORELLO WAS NO SLOUCH AT ALL DURING THE SONG, BUT FOR THE CLIMAX IT WAS JUST A MASSIVE, WORDS-FAIL-US SOLO, IN HIS INIMITABLE STYLE. THE BAND WAS FOCUSED ON MORELLO AS HE PLAYED, ONE OF THE FEW TIMES YOU'LL SEE THEM WATCHING SOMETHING OTHER THAN BRUCE. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW, AND ONE OF THE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR, FOR THAT MATTER. BRUCE WAS CLEARLY FEELING JUICED BY SET'S END, AS HE KEPT THINGS GOING AFTER "BADLANDS" FOR THE FIRST TIME, CALLING FOR "OUT IN THE STREET" TO RIDE THE WAVE OF MOMENTUM. THE ENCORE HAD HIM CALLING OUT FOR "CALIFORNIA GIRLS... CALIFORNIA GIRLS... COME ON, THRILL ME, I'M GETTING OLD!" AFTER A ROLLICKING "ROSALITA," MORE GUESTS JOINED IN: BOBBY BANDIERA ON "RAMROD"; SESSIONS BAND PLAYERS MARTY RIFKIN AND MARC ANTHONY THOMPSON FOR THE SHOW-CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND." PLENTY OF SIGNS IN THE CROWD, WITH FANS HOPING TO CAPITALIZE ON BRUCE'S RECENT PENCHANT FOR TAKING REQUESTS, BUT HE WASN'T HAVING IT TONIGHT. AND CLEARLY, THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR SPRINGSTEEN MAKING HIS OWN PLANS.

APR 8 HONDA CENTER ANAHEIM, CA

"WHO WAS HERE LAST NIGHT?" BRUCE ASKED AT THE SECOND ANAHEIM SHOW, TO A HUGE CHEER. "GET OUT, THERE'S NO WAY -- REALLY, WHO WAS HERE LAST NIGHT?" AND AN EVEN BIGGER CHEER. "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE IT UP!" ENERGY REMAINED HIGH, AND GUITARS REMAINED LOUD, NO NEED TO CHANGE ANY OF THAT. BUT OTHERWISE, SPRINGSTEEN WAS TRUE TO HIS WORD, WITH NOT ONLY A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SONGS FROM NIGHT ONE, AS EXPECTED, BUT ALSO A RADICAL CHANGE TO THE STRUCTURE, EXPANDING THE FRONT HALF AND BREAKING UP THE END-OF-SET FIVE-PACK FOR THE FIRST TIME. "THUNDER ROAD" OPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE E STREET BAND SINCE EARLY ON THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. TOUR. AND REMEMBER EARLY ON THIS TOUR WHEN THERE WAS JUST A THREE-PACK BETWEEN "MAGIC" AND "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE"? THE OLD "REASON TO BELIEVE"/"SHE'S THE ONE" SANDWICH? WELL, THAT'S BECOME A DAGWOOD. SIX SONGS IN THERE TONIGHT, INCLUDING "ATLANTIC CITY," "CANDY'S ROOM," "PROVE IT" -- NILS STAYED ON ACOUSTIC, NO SOLO ON THIS ONE, AS THEY WERE SAVING IT FOR THE NEXT ONE -- "BECAUSE THE NIGHT." THE FIRST "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" OF 2008 FEATURED NICE BACKUP FROM SOOZIE, THOUGH NOT QUITE THE DUET IT HAD BEEN WHEN PATTI WAS ON THE ROAD. AND THEN, SO AS TO NOT FIX WHAT AIN'T BROKE: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE'S TOM MORELLO WAS BACK ONCE MORE FOR "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD," AND IT WAS ANOTHER GOBSMACKING PERFORMANCE. TOMMY AGAIN TOOK TWO SOLOS, THE SECOND ONE BACK IN THE STRATOSPHERE. ONE REPEATER TELLS US: "SOMETIMES A SONG CAN IMPACT YOU LARGELY DUE TO THE SURPRISE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE WITH THE ELECTRIFIED 'JOAD' -- IT WAS AS STUNNING THE SECOND TIME AS THE FIRST (OR MORE, IF YOU HIT YOUTUBE DURING THE DAY)." AND THAT WENT RIGHT INTO "LAST TO DIE" -- NO "DEVIL'S ARCADE," NO "RISING" -- WITH "BADLANDS" AGAIN FOLLOWED BY A BONUS "OUT IN THE STREET" TO CLOSE THE SET. IS THIS GOODBYE TO THE BIG FIVE, AS BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND START LOOKING TO EVOLVE OUT OF ARENAS? OR JUST A SHAKE-UP FOR A NIGHT TWO? TIME WILL TELL. "MEETING" INTO "JUNGLELAND" WAS A SWEET GIFT TO REPEAT ATTENDEES IN THE ENCORE AS BRUCE SAID, "THANKS FOR COMING OUT. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO CAME BACK. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VERY SMALL AUDIENCE, THEY JUST COME TO ALL THE SHOWS!" AND THERE WAS A PARTICULARLY SWEET GIFT FOR A SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL, WHO GOT TO BE BRUCE'S PARTNER ON "DANCING IN THE DARK."

APR 13 TBA DALLAS, TX

T IS FOR TEXAS, AS JIMMIE RODGERS SANG, AND T IS FOR "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," WHICH OPENED UP TONIGHT'S SHOW IN DALLAS. THIS WAS THE MAGIC TOUR'S FIRST STOP IN TEXAS, AND THEY GOT A STRONG ONE -- BRUCE IN HIGH SPIRITS, GREAT ENERGY, FAST PACE, THE BAND IN FINE FORM. AFTER "MAGIC," IT WAS A STRING OF POWERHOUSES, FROM "TRAPPED" THROUGH "SHE'S THE ONE." "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" AND "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WERE IN THERE BACK-TO-BACK, AND THOUGH IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO SEE NILS' SOLO DROPPED FROM "PROVE IT," IT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT CALL TO SAVE IT UP FOR HIM TO WAIL ON "BECAUSE THE NIGHT." WITH PATTI STILL ABSENT, BRUCE'S TALES OF HAVOC BACK HOME ARE GROWING. THIS TIME HE TOLD THE CROWD THAT AS HE WAS LEAVING, "THE BLACK HELICOPTERS WERE HOVERING, THE POT COOKIES WERE COMING OUT OF THE OVEN... AND ALL MY FAVORITE CLOTHES WERE GOING UP ON EBAY!" PATTI'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT. FOR ANYONE WHO NEVER QUITE FELT "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" AS AN ENCORE OPENER, TONIGHT IT MOVED TO THE MAIN SET AND FELT GOOD AFTER "THE PROMISED LAND." FROM THERE IT WAS ON TO THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "INDEPENDENCE DAY," FEATURING NILS ON PEDAL STEEL BUT REMAINING QUITE TRUE TO THE RECORDED RIVER ARRANGEMENT -- VERY NICE. TTHE FIVE-PACK WAS BACK, AFTER BRUCE BROKE IT UP IN ANAHEIM, "DEVIL'S ARCADE" AND "THE RISING" RECLAIMING THEIR SPOTS. "OUT IN THE STREET" WAS A SETLISTED POSSIBILITY ONCE AGAIN, BUT BRUCE WENT BACK TO CLOSING THE MAIN SET WITH "BADLANDS."

THIS WAS MAX WEINBERG'S BIRTHDAY SHOW -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAX! -- SO BRUCE BROUGHT HIM OUT FOR A SPECIAL CURTAIN CALL AS THE ENCORES BEGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THE DRUMMER WOULDN'T BE PART OF THE NEXT SONG... "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" WAS FIRST UP, WHICH OF COURSE SEGUED INTO "JUNGELAND." THAT ALWAYS-WELCOME PAIRING WAS A REPRISE FROM THE LAST SHOW IN CALIFORNIA. THE SURPRISE CAME A COUPLE SONGS LATER, WHEN BRUCE BROUGHT OUT A SPECIAL GUEST. WITH BON JOVI SET TO PLAY THIS VERY VENUE ON MONDAY NIGHT, JON GOT QUITE A WARM-UP, TAKING THE FIRST VERSE OF "GLORY DAYS" AND TRADING VOCALS WITH BRUCE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE SONG. SPRINGSTEEN CALLED IT "A DOUBLE SHOT OF JERSEY," AND JBJ FOLLOWED UP BY TELLING THE CROWD, "YOU'RE IN TROUBLE!" IT'S NOT LIKELY THAT OTHER SPRINGSTEEN AUDIENCES WILL BE IN SIMILAR HOT WATER; CHECKING OUT BON JOVI'S ITINERARY, IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR PATHS WON'T CROSS AGAIN ON THIS TOUR. AFTER MR. JOVI WAVED GOODBYE, A WHOLE GAGGLE OF "GUESTS" WERE ON STAGE FOR THE NEXT SONG. EARLIER IN THE SET, SPRINGSTEEN HAD TAKEN NOTICE OF A GROUP OF YOUNG GIRLS IN THE PIT, SAYING "WE GOT A WILD BUNCH OVER HERE!" AVERAGE AGE, HE ASKED, "TEN? EIGHT?... HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER HEARD OF A SONG CALLED 'BORN TO RUN'?" HE WAS PLAYFULLY CHAGRINED AT THEIR REPSONSE (OR LACK THEREOF), AND LATER DECIDED TO GIVE THEM THEIR MOMENT WITH AN AUDIBLED "DANCING IN THE DARK." THE GIRLS CAME UP, THEIR CHAPERONES DID TOO; SOMEONE ELSE SAW A WINDOW, AND BEFORE YOU KNEW IT IT WAS PRACTICALLY A FREE-FOR-ALL. NO LESS THAN 17 AUDIENCE MEMBERS WERE UP ON STAGE BEFORE SECURITY GOT WISE, FOR A SPOTLIGHT DANCE USUALLY RESERVED FOR ONE OR NONE. HEY, EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS.

APR 14 TBA HOUSTON, TX

HOUSTON, WE HAVE... NO PROBLEMS. A PHENOMENAL SHOW TONIGHT FOR THE SECOND OF TWO IN TEXAS. JUST OUTSIDE OF AMARILLO, THE CADILLAC RANCH SITS THERE GLEAMING IN THE SUN... TONIGHT IN HOUSTON, THAT SONG STARTED US OFF -- MAKING 11 SHOWS RUNNING WITH A UNIQUE OPENER. A GOOD BIT OF SETLIST SHUFFLING FOLLOWED, ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS WHERE THINGS REALLY FELT FREE-FORM, AND YOU DIDN'T QUITE KNOW WHAT WAS COMING NEXT: "GYPSY BIKER" DROPPED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, REPLACED BY "ATLANTIC CITY"; "REASON TO BELIEVE" WAS GONE, TOO. SO WHAT MADE IT IN? "OUT IN THE STREET" -- WHICH HAS BOTH OPENED AND CLOSED THE MAIN SET ON THIS LEG -- TURNED UP IN THE MIDDLE. "THE E STREET SHUFFLE," IN ITS FIRST PERFORMANCE OF 2008, WAS PLAYED BY REQUEST FOR A KID IN THE CROWD; BRUCE SAID HE PROBABLY WROTE THE SONG BEFORE THE BOY'S GRANDADDY WAS BORN. NEXT UP, A WORLD PREMIERE, BRUCE SAYING THOSE MAGIC WORDS: "WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS." IT WAS "TERRY'S SONG," THE MOVING, UNLISTED TRACK FROM MAGIC, PLAYED IN HONOR OF TERRY MAGOVERN. BRUCE SAID, "A FRIEND OF MINE FOR 23 YEARS... TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS 68TH BIRTHDAY." ROY LED IT OFF ON THE PIANO, WITH JUST CHARLIE, MAX, BRUCE ON ACOUSTIC, AND NILS ON BACKING VOCALS FOR A SPARSE AND REVERENTIAL PERFORMANCE. MUSICALLY AND THEMATICALLY, IT WAS A POWERFUL LEAD-IN TO "DEVILS ARCADE," WHICH FOUND BRUCE ON HIS KNEES TO BEGIN THE SONG. A NOTE-PERFECT "THUNDER ROAD" CLOSED THE SET IN STYLE AFTER THE FIVE-PACK, BUT IT WAS THE ENCORE WHERE THINGS REALLY COOKED. NOT ONE BUT TWO SPECIAL GUESTS IN THE ENCORE: AT THE PREVIOUS SHOW, DALLAS GOT "A DOUBLE SHOT OF JERSEY" IN THE FORM OF JON BON JOVI, BUT HOUSTON GOT A PAIR OF TRUE TEXANS, BOTH AUSTINITES. "I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF THE TEXAS SONGWRITERS," SAID BRUCE, AND HE DEMONSTRATED IT BY PLAYING WITH TWO OF THE BEST OF HIS LONE STAR STATE CONTEMPORARIES: ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO AND JOE ELY. FIRST OFF, MAN, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE THRILL TO FINALLY HAVE ALEJANDRO -- A LONGTIME BACKSTREETS FAVE -- ON STAGE WITH THE BOSS. "HE'S BEEN PUTTING OUT GOOD MUSIC FOR SO LONG," SPRINGSTEEN SAID, AND WE AGREE -- ESCOVEDO'S FORMER BANDS INCLUDE THE NUNS, RANK & FILE, AND THE TRUE BELIEVERS, AND HE'S BEEN OFFERING UP INCREDIBLE SOLO RECORDS SINCE THE EARLY '90S. (ALSO OF NOTE, HE VERY RECENTLY SIGNED WITH JON LANDAU MANAGEMENT). FOR ALEJANDRO, THE E STREET BAND LEARNED "ALWAYS A FRIEND," THE LEAD SINGLE FROM HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM REAL ANIMAL. "ONE OF THE BEST HE'S EVER MADE," BRUCE SAID, PLUGGING THE ALBUM TWICE, "DUE JUNE 10TH!" AND THEN, "THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME OTHER TEXANS AROUND HERE..." AND OUT CAME ANOTHER OF OUR HEROES -- FLATLANDER, CLASH TOURMATE, AND ALL-AROUND BAD-ASS JOE ELY -- FOR "ALL JUST TO GET TO YOU" (WHICH HE AND BRUCE RECORDED TOGETHER ON ELY'S 1995 ALBUM, LETTER TO LAREDO). AND IT ROCKED. WITH THOSE TWO BARNBURNERS KICKING IT OFF, ENERGY STAYED HIGH FOR THE REST OF THE ENCORE, FEATURING "ROSALITA" AND "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT." FOR THE FREEZE-OUT, SPRINGSTEEN HELD A BACKBEND FROM THE MIC STAND SO DEEP AND LONG YOU THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY FROZEN THERE; ON "ROSIE," HE WAS CHANNELING CURLY OF THE THREE STOOGES: "WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP!" COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER OURSELVES. A BRAIN-MELTINGLY GOOD SHOW. JUST ASK ALEJANDRO, WHO TOLD BACKSTREETS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT: "IT WAS MY BEST MUSICAL EXPERIENCE, EVER."

APRIL 22 / TAMPA, FL / ST. PETE TIMES FORUM

AND THE SHOW GOES ON. EIGHT DAYS AFTER THEIR LAST PERFORMANCE, FIVE DAYS AFTER THE PASSING OF DANNY FEDERICI, AND JUST ONE DAY AFTER THE FUNERAL SERVICE, BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND TOOK THE STAGE IN TAMPA. THERE WAS NO QUESTION THAT THEY'D BE HONORING DANNY'S MEMORY TONIGHT. THE REAL QUESTION MIGHT HAVE BEEN, HOW WOULD THEY DO IT? THE ANSWER: BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LOSS, BY EMBRACING DANNY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BAND, BY TAPPING A DEEP WELL OF EMOTION AND PLAYING THEIR HEARTS OUT ALL NIGHT. THE NIGHT BEGAN WITH A FILM MONTAGE. BRUCE AND THE E STREETERS CAME OUT AND TURNED TO WATCH THE SCREEN BEHIND MAX'S DRUMS, STANDING STONE-STILL AS ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE AND STILLS FROM DANNY'S LIFE (REMEMBER THAT LONG, FLOWING HAIR?) PLAYED OUT ACROSS IT, SET TO "BLOOD BROTHERS." PATTI WAS THERE, TOO, FOR HER FIRST SHOW OF 2008 -- THE E STREET BAND OUT IN FULL FORCE. A SPOTLIGHT, MEANWHILE, LIT UP DANNY'S ORGAN RISER (WHERE HIS ACCORDION WAS PROPPED, TOO), AND REMAINED SHINING ON THE EMPTY STATION FOR THE BAND'S FIRST SONG OF THE NIGHT, "BACKSTREETS." BRUCE GAVE A RAW AND EMOTIONAL HOWL AT THE END, AND AS HE POINTED TO THE ORGAN, THE LIGHT FADED.

AFTER THE POIGNANT OPENING, CHARLIE GIORDANO CAME OUT TO JOIN THE BAND FROM "RADIO NOWHERE" ON, REMAINING AS SUBTLE AND DISCREET AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE ON THIS NIGHT, WHILE DOING HIS JOB AND DOING IT WELL. BUT EMOTIONAL -- EVEN EMOTIONALLY DRAINING -- AS IT WAS, IT WASN'T A SOMBER OCCASION. THIS WAS AN INTENSE PERFORMANCE, WITH EACH MEMBER OF THE BAND ELECTRIFIED. SOLOS -- MAX ON "BADLANDS," STEVE ON "GYPSY BIKER," ROY ON "RACING IN THE STREET" (YES, THEY DID "RACING,") NILS ON "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" -- BURNED EVEN BRIGHTER. AND BRUCE HIMSELF PUT IT ALL OUT THERE, STARTING WITH A THEMATIC SETLIST CLEARLY TAILORED TO RECALL FEDERICI'S PLACE IN THIS BAND OF BROTHERS AND THE IMPACT OF HIS MUSICIANSHIP ON SPRINGSTEEN'S WORK.

AFTER "GYPSY BIKER," CHARLIE MOVED OVER TO THE PIANO AS ROY STRAPPED ON THE ACCORDION FOR "4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)." "WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES," SPRINGSEEN TOLD THE CROWD. "ROY, YOU BETTER GET THIS RIGHT -- SOMEBODY'S WATCHING." SOOZIE AND PATTI OFFERED BEAUTIFUL HARMONIES, AND IT WAS A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE OF "SANDY." BRUCE WIPED AWAY TEARS AND GAVE ROY A KISS. "ONE MORE FAIRY TALE," HE SAID, LEADING THE BAND INTO "GROWIN' UP." THAT SONG RECALLED THE OLD DAYS IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE, AS BRUCE BEGAN A LITTLE STORY DURING THE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK WITH THAT FAMILIAR PHRASE, "THERE WE WERE..." "THERE WE WERE, ON THE HIGHEST HILL IN FLEMINGTON, NEW JERSEY... IT WAS A SUNNY, HOT SUMMER MORNING... AND THE PREACHER SAID... 'I TOOK MONTH-LONG VACATIONS IN THE STRATOSPHERE...'" "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT AND HELPING US THROUGH," BRUCE SAID AS THEY CAME OUT FOR THE ENCORE. AND HE WASN'T JUST TALKIN': THE CROWD -- UNUSUALLY FULL FOR A POSTPONED SHOW -- WAS THERE AT EVERY TURN, GIVING THE ENERGY BACK ON SING-ALONGS LIKE "BADLANDS," "OUT IN THE STREET," AND "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY." FOR THE FIRST ENCORE SONG, BRUCE PULLED OUT THE PREMIERE OF AN OLD GOSPEL STANDBY, "I'LL FLY AWAY." THIS ONE WENT OUT TO DANNY, OF COURSE, AND EVERYONE CAME DOWN FRONT -- EVEN MAX, ON TAMBOURINE -- FOR A ROUSING RENDITION WITH A SEEGER SESSIONS FEEL. BRUCE CALLED IT "NEW JERSEY BLUEGRASS." A FEW SONGS LATER, "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" WAS SETLISTED, BUT BRUCE CHOSE TO REPLACE IT WITH ONE OF THE ONLY UNPLANNED SONGS OF THE NIGHT -- "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT." IT WAS A FINE CHOICE, RECALLING THE FORMATION OF THE LEGENDARY BAND THAT DANNY FEDERICI WAS A PART OF FROM THE BEGINNING, ITS LYRICS EQUAL PARTS EXASPERATION, DETERMINATION, AND CELEBRATION. TEARDROPS ON THE CITY, YES... AND TONIGHT THEY BUSTED IT IN HALF FOR DANNY.

APRIL 23 / ORLANDO, FL / AMWAY ARENA

MORE GREATNESS IN FLORIDA. TONIGHT'S WAS AN ENERGETIC, UNPREDICTABLE SHOW, WITH THE STANDARD SETLIST (INCLUDING MUCH OF MAGIC) ALL BUT THROWN OUT THE WINDOW. A TOUR PREMIERE -- ONE OF FOUR -- STARTED THINGS OFF. WHEN WORD OF TAMPA'S DANNY FEDERICI MONTAGE STARTED GOING AROUND, THE VIDEO TRIBUTE WITH A MUSICAL BACKING OF "BLOOD BROTHERS," THERE WAS SOME INITIAL CONFUSION: WAS IT THE RECORDED STUDIO VERSION, OR PLAYED LIVE? TONIGHT, THE ORLANDO CROWD GOT BOTH. AFTER THE MONTAGE, BRUCE AND THE BAND REVISITED "BLOOD BROTHERS" IN A NEW LIVE ARRANGEMENT, MORE AKIN TO THE ALTERNATE VERSION ON THE BLOOD BROTHERS EP, A FIERCE PERFORMANCE WITH NO QUESTION WHO IT WAS FOR, ESPECIALLY AS SPRINGSTEEN REPEATED THE SINGULAR "MY BLOOD BROTHER." "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" WAS "FOR DAN," TOO, A VERY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE FROM BRUCE, HANGING EVERY WHICH WAY FROM THE MIC STAND. AND THE OLDIES JUST KEPT ON COMING, WITH THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET?" "GONNA TEST THE BAND'S MEMORIES," SAID BRUCE, "WE DID 'GROWIN' UP' LAST NIGHT, AND WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS ONE." (SOON, HE HAD REASON TO ADD, "I DON'T REMEMBER IT!") "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" FOUND NILS REACHING NEW HEIGHTS AND EVEN FINDING NEW SOUNDS ON HIS SOLO, WOWING VERYONE, BRUCE AND THE BAND INCLUDED. "FIRE" WAS THE LOCAL RADIO PICK-A-SONG CONTEST WINNER, GIVING SPRINGSTEEN OCCASION FOR HIS LONGEST, FUNNIEST BANTER TO DATE ON THIS TOUR. "THIS IS WHAT PUZZLES ME," HE SAID ABOUT THE CONTESTS, MENTION OF WHICH GOT LITTLE TO NO REACTION FROM THE CROWD, "EVERY TIME I MENTION IT, EVERY ONE SAYS I DON'T KNOW!... THIS WAS A MANAGEMENT DECISION." HE ALSO GAVE A HISTORY OF THE SONG, SAYING HE ORIGINALLY WROTE IT FOR ELVIS AND JUMPED THE GRACELAND WALL WITH STEVE TO TRY TO GET IT TO HIM ("DON'T GO TRYING THAT AT MY HOUSE, NOW!"), RECALLING COVERS BY THE POINTER SISTERS AND ROBERT GORDON, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDING THE LATTER'S "ALL FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK & ROLL" WIH HIS BAND TUFF DARTS ("GO HOME AND LOOK IT UP ON YOUR DAMN THING," BRUCE SAID, MIMING FINGERS ON A KEYBOARD). AND THEN THERE WAS BABYFACE'S "FIRE" COVER: "THE BEST VERSION I EVER HEARD. I WAS SURE IT WAS A HIT -- I RAN OUT AND BOUGHT A NEW CAR. BUT THE CRUEL VICISSITUDES OF ROCK 'N' ROLL... IT WASN'T. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE BEACH WITH MY NEW CAR PARKED AT THE CURB." "LOST IN THE FLOOD" UP NEXT -- FORGET TALK, ALL ACTION. THIS ONE KILLED, AS DID BRUCE'S SOLO. IN THE ENCORE, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST TREAT OF THE NIGHT, "THE INCREDIBLE ROGER MCGUINN" JOINED THE BAND FOR TWO SONGS. BRUCE SET THE BAR HIGH WITH HIS INTRODUCTION, PRAISING THE BYRDS LEADER FOR SINGLEHANDEDLY INVENTING FOLK ROCK, SPACE ROCK, AND FOR HIS PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON BRUCE AND THE BAND. AT 15, SPRINGSTEEN SAID, ON A LITTLE STERO IN HIS ROOM, "I PLAYED THAT FIRST BYRDS ALBUM OVER 200 TIMES IN THE DARK." MCGUINN DID NOT DISAPPOINT, TAKING LEAD FOR "TURN! TURN! TURN!" AND TRADING VERSES WITH BRUCE ON "MR. TAMBOURINE MAN," A KNOCK-OUT GUEST SPOT THAT WAS CLEARLY A THRILL FOR THE BAND. JUST ONE LOOK WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU STEVE WAS IN HEAVEN, HE AND ROGER PLAYING MATCHING BLACK, 12-STRING RICKENBACKERS. "SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC EVER WRITTEN AND SUNG," BRUCE DECLARED, BEFORE OFFERING UP ONE OF HIS OWN THAT COULD ARGUABLY FIT THAT DESCRIPTION. IT WAS "JUNGLELAND," AN AUDIBLE, PLAYED BY REQUEST -- "KITTY'S BACK" WAS ON THE SETLIST, BUT WITH ALL THOSE "JUNGLELAND" SIGNS, HOW COULD HE NOT?

APR 25 PHILIPS ARENA ATLANTA, GA

FOR THE THIRD SHOW IN FOUR NIGHTS, BRUCE IS CLEARLY KEEN TO RETAIN THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. HE'S WRITING SETLISTS THAT VEER DRAMATICALLY OFF THE COURSE HE'D SET FOR SO MUCH OF THE MAGIC TOUR, AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PERFORM, HE'S EVEN SHAKING THAT UP. TONIGHT IN ATLANTA, AFTER OPENING WITH THAT HIGH-OCTANE "REASON TO BELIEVE" FOR THE FIRST TIME, TWO OF THE NEXT THREE SONGS WERE AUDIBLES. THAT'S KEEPING IT INTERESTING FOR EVERYONE -- PARTICULARLY IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW, THERE WAS NO TELLING WHAT WOULD COME NEXT. AND THE CROWD ATE IT UP -- THE PHILIPS ARENA AIN'T EXACTLY INTIMATE, BUT THE PLACE WAS PACKED TO THE RAFTERS, AND INTO IT. ELEVEN SONGS PLAYED IN ATLANTA THAT DIDN'T COME OUT IN ORLANDO, INCLUDING A MAGNIFICENT "POINT BLANK," "TRAPPED," AND "MURDER INCORPORATED," WITH A GREAT BRUCE/STEVIE GUITAR DUEL THAT MADE US MISS "GYPSY BIKER" AT LEAST A LITTLE LESS. ONLY SIX SONGS FROM MAGIC, THOUGH THIS WAS THE CITY OF ITS BIRTH... AND WITH "LONESOME DAY" DROPPED OUT (AND "OUT IN THE STREET" IN), MY POP RIGHTLY NOTED HALFWAY THROUGH THAT IT FELT LIKE THE REUNION TOUR. THOUGH NOT AS WELL REPRESENTED, MAGIC DID GET A DEEPER CUT PLAYED TONIGHT -- BRUCE BROKE OUT "YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY," WHICH HE SAID WAS "IN HONOR OF PRODUCER EXTRAORDINAIRE BRENDAN O'BRIEN." HE ADDED, "IT WON'T BE AS GOOD AS THE RECORD, BUT WE'LL TRY." AND IT WAS IMPRESSIVE, THE FULL-SOUNDING FOUR-PART VOCALS AT LEAST COMING CLOSE TO REPLICATING THE RECORD'S WALL OF SOUND. GETTING ITS TOUR PREMIERE WAS "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT," IN THE SLOT THAT BROUGHT "SPIRIT" AND "SANDY" THE LAST FEW NIGHTS. "I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES FOR DANNY," SPRINGSTEEN TOLD THE CROWD BEFORE THE SONG (AND WE GOT THE VIDEO MONTAGE AT THE START OF THE SHOW, TOO). "WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. HIS FAMILY APPRECIATES IT VERY MUCH. WE'VE BEEN DIGGING INTO THE 'OLD' BOX THESE LAST FEW NIGHTS," HE SAID TO CHEERS, GOING ON TO REMINISCE A BIT ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS OF THE BAND, MEETING AT THE UPSTAGE IN ASBURY PARK. "I MET STEVE AT 16, DANNY AT 18... DANNY AND MAD DOG ASKED ME TO BE IN THE BAND.... IT WAS ME, DANNY, GARRY, 'MAD DOG' LOPEZ, AND CLARENCE. JUST A LITTLE FIVE PIECE -- WITH A SETLIST OF MASTERPIECES," BRUCE LAUGHED. "WE KNOW THIS ONE!" A ROCKY START, BUT YEAH, THEY KNEW IT, AND "BLINDED" WAS A BLAST. "BOBBY JEAN" WAS A GRANTED REQUEST-BY-SIGN, AND WHILE I'D NEVER PUT SHARPIE TO POSTERBOARD FOR THAT ONE MYSELF, I WAS GLAD I KEPT MY EARS OPEN: I HEARD A POWER AND A POIGNANCY IN THAT SONG TONIGHT THAT, TO ME, HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A LONG TIME. MORE AUDIBLES CAME IN THE ENCORE, WITH "KITTY'S BACK" REPLACED BY "ROSALITA" -- "THIS IS FOR NEW ORLEANS!" BRUCE HOLLERED, IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER SIGN -- AND "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" IN FOR "DANCING IN THE DARK." THINK YOU CAN PIN BRUCE DOWN? KID, YOU BETTER GET THE PICTURE.

APR 27 CHARLOTTE BOBCATS ARENA CHARLOTTE, NC

"NOTHING COULD BE FINER," SAID BRUCE, AND WITH THE MAGIC TOUR FINALLY COMING TO MY HOME STATE, I GOTTA AGREE. YET ANOTHER UNIQUE SONG TO OPEN THE SHOW: THE TOUR PREMIERE, AT LONG LAST, OF A SMOLDERING "SOULS OF THE DEPARTED." GREAT TO HAVE SOME '92 MATERIAL REPRESENTED IN THE SET, AND NOT ONLY IS IT A PERFECT THEMATIC FIT FOR THE MAGIC TOUR, IT GOT ANOTHER LAYER OF MEANING COMING RIGHT AFTER THE DANNY FEDERICI TRIBUTE MONTAGE. KILLER BOTTLENECK SLIDE WORK FROM NILS, TOO. "WE'VE BEEN DIGGING BACK IN THE BOX," BRUCE SAID BEFORE THE NEW OLDIE SLOT, ADDING "WE'RE GONNA PUT THE PROFESSOR TO THE TEST," AS ROY STRAPPED ON THE ACCORDION. GARRY WAS PUT TO THE TEST, TOO, AS HE PICKED UP HIS OLD TUBA FOR "WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY." BEFORE THEY WENT INTO THE ULTRA-RARITY, BRUCE TALKED ABOUT DANNY WINNING THE TED MACK AMATEUR HOUR AS A KID ("HIS MOM SEWED HIM UP A GOLD LAMÉ JACKET!") AND THE PHANTOM'S PENCHANT FOR TROUBLE (DANNY AND MAD DOG BEING THE "UNRULY CITIZENS" OF E STREET). HE ADDED THE STORY FROM HIS EULOGY ABOUT DANNY'S CAR GETTING TOWED WITH A MARIJUANA PLANT IN THE FRONT SEAT, AND DANNY GOING STRAIGHT INTO THE SLAMMER. "THAT'S A SHORT ONE... BUT THEY ALL ENDED THE SAME!" LAUGHED BRUCE. "MY FAVORITE PHONE CALL FROM DANNY WAS ALWAYS, 'BRUCE, COME QUICK!'" A SIGN READ "I LIKE YOU BETTER THAN HANNAH MONTANA" ON ONE SIDE, AND BRUCE QUIPPED "MY ASPIRATIONS HAVE BEEN REALIZED -- WE CAN GO HOME NOW!" BEFORE GRANTING THE REQUEST: "DARLINGTON COUNTY." THAT AUDIBLE TOOK THE PLACE OF THE SETLISTED "STREETS OF FIRE," TO SOME FANS' DISMAY... BUT IT WAS A FUN CAROLINA SPECIAL, AND BRUCE WAS HAPPY TO GET SOME HELP UP ON STAGE FOR THE SHA-LA-LAS: "SHE CAN SING!" IF CLARENCE WERE A J.B., HE WOULD HAVE INCURRED A MAJOR FINE ON "BADLANDS," AS THE MOMENT FOR HIS BIG SOLO CAUGHT HIM COMPLETELY OFF GUARD, HIS MIND APPARENTLY ELSEWHERE. WHETHER OR NOT THE BOSS DOCKS HIS PAY, THE BLOWN CUE WAS GOOD FOR A LAUGH (CERTAINLY A SHEEPISH ONE FROM CLARENCE), AND BRUCE SAID, "LET'S TRY THAT ONE MORE TIME!" AS THE BAND CAME BACK AROUND FOR HIM, THE BIG MAN NAILED IT THE SECOND TIME. BETWEEN THAT AND THE BONUS ENDING FOR THE LOUDLY CHANTING CROWD, IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING OF A "BADLANDS" EXTENDED REMIX. IN THE ENCORE, "KITTY'S BACK" SMOKED, AND FOR THE SHOW CLOSING "AMERICAN LAND" -- AN AUDIBLE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, REPLACING THE SETLISTED "STAND ON IT" -- "COUSIN FRANKIE" JOINED IN THE FUN. THAT'S LOCAL BOY FRANK BRUNO, JR. FROM THE SESSIONS BAND, STRUMMING HARD ON THE ACOUSTIC AND SINGING ALONG.

APR 28 GREENSBORO COLISEUM GREENSBORO, NC

THE SECOND OF TWO CAROLINA SHOWS, AND HERE IN JUNIOR JOHNSON TERRITORY YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN EVEN MONEY ON "CADILLAC RANCH" TO OPEN. LEAVE IT TO BRUCE TO GO FOR THE LONGSHOT ODDS INSTEAD: A KILLER OPENING DUO OF "ROULETTE" INTO "DON'T LOOK BACK." BOTH WERE TOUR PREMIERES, BOTH STUDIO OUTTAKES FROM THE '70S THAT LATER TURNED UP ON TRACKS, AND, LIKE "REASON TO BELIEVE" IN ATLANTA, BOTH LEFT ME SAYING, "OKAY, THAT'S HOW YOU START A SHOW." CHARGING OUT OF THE GATE, THEY SET THE TONE FOR A HIGH-ENERGY PERFORMANCE, THE BEST OF THIS SOUTHERN SWING SO FAR. (AND AS ANY GOOD SOUTHERNER KNOWS, THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE FLORIDA. THE HUSHED "MAGIC" RETURNED TO THE SET AFTER A HIATUS, WITH SISTER SOOZIE TYRELL'S WONDERFUL VOCAL DUET. BUT THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE INTENSITY OF THE SHOW'S BEGINNINGS, WITH A MEAN "GYPSY BIKER." IN CHARLOTTE BRUCE CUT THIS ONE A LITTLE SHORT, BUT HERE IT STRETCHED OUT NICELY WITH A GREAT BRUCE/STEVE GUITAR DUEL. NEXT UP WAS "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY," SENT OUT "FOR OUR OLD PAL," DANNY FEDERICI. "HE HAD NINE LIVES, AND HE USED UP ABOUT FIVE OF MINE," SPRINGSTEEN LAUGHED, ALSO RECALLING DANNY'S HABIT OF LIBERATING STUFF FROM HERE AND THERE. A HILARIOUS STORY ABOUT FINDING DANNY IN THE HOTEL ELEVATOR WITH A SCREWDRIVER: "A TOWEL'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM -- HE'S GOTTA TAKE THE ELEVATOR BUTTONS!" "SAINT IN THE CITY" WAS A BLAST, ENDING WITH A MONSTER GUITAR/DRUMS CRESCENDO COURTESY OF BRUCE AND MAX . "SEE IF WE KNOW THIS ONE," BRUCE SAID AFTER "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE" -- ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN. WHILE THE FIRST STRAINS OF "MARY'S PLACE" MIGHT HAVE RAISED A FEW GROANS FROM THOSE OF US WHO TIRED OF THE PROTRACTED VERSION FROM THE RISING AND VOTE FOR CHANGE TOURS, IT PROVED TO BE A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. TIGHT, CROWD WAY INTO IT, NICE AND HORN-HEAVY (MOSTLY SYNTH HORNS, TO BE CLEAR, BUT MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH), IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TONIGHT. "BADLANDS": YOU BETTER BELIEVE CLARENCE WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS SOLO TONIGHT. AND AFTER HIS "ROULETTE" ROLLS TO START THE SHOW, MAX BOOKENDED THE MAIN SET WITH MORE OF THE HOW-DOES-HE-DO-IT DRUMMING MADNESS THAT'S NOW A "BADLANDS" HIGHLIGHT -- AS IF THE SONG NEEDED SOMETHING ELSE TO PUMP YOUR FIST OVER.LEADING OFF THE ENCORE, A BEAUTIFUL "BACKSTREETS" ALWAYS WARMS MY HEART, ESPECIALLY RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE BACKSTREETS HQ. "RAMROD" HAD THE CROWD POSITIVELY ROARING BEFORE STEVIE DECLARED "BOSS TIME," BUT THE COOLEST PART OF THAT ONE WAS CLARENCE LENDING BRUCE HIS HAT, SPRINGSTEEN WEARING IT WELL AND STRUTTING ACROSS THE STAGE WHILE THE BIG MAN WAILED. PROPS TO THE GRANITE FALLS MIDDLE SCHOOL CONTINGENT BEHIND THE STAGE AND THEIR ENORMOUS BANNER JUDICIOUSLY DISPLAYED: "WE'VE BUSTED OUT OF CLASS!" AND ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, EVEN. YOU GOT A GOOD ONE, KIDS.

APR 30 JOHN PAUL JONES ARENA CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

A SPIRITED START FOR THIS SOLD-OUT SHOW, WITH "LOOSE ENDS" ANOTHER TRACKS RARITY TO KICK IT OFF, JUST AS "ROULETTE" AND "DON'T LOOK BACK" STARTED THE NIGHT ON A HIGH AT THE PREVIOUS BARNBURNER IN GREENSBORO. "MARY'S PLACE" TURNED UP AGAIN, TOO -- BUT THAT'S WHERE THE AFFINITY BETWEEN THE TWO SHOWS END, CHARLOTTESVILLE BEING ONE WHERE THINGS DIDN'T QUITE CLICK. HARD TO SAY, BUT IT COULD BE THAT AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK OF CHANNELING SO MUCH INTO THE PERFORMANCE, AN EMOTIONAL DRAIN HAS UNDERSTANDABLY TAKEN ITS TOLL. WHATEVER THE REASON, THIS WAS A SHORTER SHOW, WITH A LESS INSPIRED SETLIST AND A PERFORMANCE COMING UP SHORT OF OTHERS ON THIS ASTOUNDING RECENT RUN. THE PENULTIMATE SHOW OF A LEG HAS BEEN ONE TO WATCH ON SPRINGSTEEN TOURS, OFTEN TURNING OUT TO BE THE STAND-OUT... NOT SO THIS TIME. "NO SURRENDER" WAS AN AUDIBLE, THE MESSAGE NOT QUITE REACHING EVERYONE AT THE START -- "HANG ON, WE'RE GETTING THERE!" SAID BRUCE. ON THE SETLIST BUT NOT PLAYED WERE "THIS HARD LAND" (BRUCE HAD THE HARMONICA IN HAND, BUT LET THIS ONE GO, LEAVING ONLY "MARY'S PLACE" BETWEEN "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE" AND "DEVIL'S ARCADE"), "STREETS OF FIRE" (GIVEN THE BOOT AGAIN!), AND "I WANNA BE WITH YOU." "FOR YOU" WAS TONIGHT'S OLDIE GOING OUT TO DANNY, AND SPRINGSTEEN CAME UP WITH MORE FUN TALES OF THE OLD DAYS, THIS TIME ABOUT HOW THEY GOT AROUND TO GIGS. AT FIRST, IT WAS MAD DOG'S CAR. "THAT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE," BRUCE SAID, "BECAUSE THE BIG MAN TOOK UP A LOT OF ROOM." THEN THEY STEPPED UP TO AN ECONOLINE VAN. "THAT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE, BECAUSE THE BIG MAN TOOK UP A LOT OF ROOM." THEN IT WAS A JERSEY CENTRAL BUS, MODIFIED WITH COTS IN THE BACK, AND BRUCE SHARED HIS TECHNIQUE FOR PUTTING HIS HAND DOWN TO KEEP FROM ROLLING OFF WHEN THEY TOOK A CURVE. FINALLY THEY GRADUATED TO "COUNTRY SINGER BUSES," AND A MEMORY OF DANNY, WHO "FELL OUT OF THE MIDDLE BUNK, BOUNCED ACROSS THE WALL, FELL TO THE FLOOR, AND GRABBED A BAG TO USE AS A PILLOW... ALL WITHOUT WAKING UP." BRUCE ALSO RECALLED THAT THEIR FIRST GIG AS A BAND WAS OPENING UP FOR CHEECH & CHONG, AND AS THEIR SET WENT ON, SOMEONE TUGGED ON BRUCE'S SHIRT WITH A MESAGE: "CHEECH SAYS IT'S TIME TO GET OFF THE STAGE." THERE WAS NOTABLY STRONG GUITAR WORK TONIGHT -- NILS, AS ALWAYS; STEVE SHINING ON "GYPSY BIKER"; BRUCE TAKING A MEAN LEAD ON "ADAM RAISED A CAIN." AND EVEN A RARE OFF-NIGHT STILL BRINGS SOMETHING LIKE "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" INTO "JUNGLELAND," WITH SPRINGSTEEN IN FINE VOICE. BEFORE THAT MAGICAL PAIRING THAT STARTED THE 4/5 BORN TO RUN ENCORE, BRUCE RECALLED THE OLD DAYS AGAIN, SAYING, "WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN CONNECTED TO VIRGINIA. WE COULD PLAY TWO PLACES IN THOSE DAYS -- WE COULD PLAY NEW JERSEY, AND WE COULD PLAY RICHMOND." HE ALSO GAVE A SHOUT-OUT TO HIS OLD STEEL MEEL BANDMATE ROBBIN THOMPSON, WHO WAS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT. THAT HOUSE WAS PACKED, A NEW AND ATTRACTIVE SMALLER VENUE WITH NOT A SINGLE SEAT LEFT OPEN; BUT IT WAS AN INTIMATE SETTING UNFORTUNATELY NOT PARLAYED INTO A PARTICULARLY SPECIAL SHOW.

MAY 7 / THE COUNT BASIE THEATRE / RED BANK, NJ

AH, THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF... OR AT LEAST THE STUFF THAT FAN RAP SESSIONS ARE MADE OF: "THEY SHOULD DO THE DARKNESS ALBUM START TO FINISH!" WELL, THEY JUST DID. AND IT WASN'T JUST A DARKNESS 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION -- THEY TACKLED THE FULL BORN TO RUN ALBUM IN ORDER, TOO, FOR WHAT BRUCE DESCRIBED AT THE OUTSET AS "SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE ANYWHERE ELSE." AN E STREET BAND THEATER SHOW -- FINDING THEM PACKED TIGHTER THAN EVER ON A SMALL STAGE LIKE THIS, WITH NILS, PATTI, AND SOOZIE ALL ADDED TO THE LINE-UP SINCE THE THEATER DAYS -- WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONAL ENOUGH, BUT THE FOUR PERFECT ALBUM SIDES OF THE SETLIST PUT THIS ONE OVER THE TOP. THE EVENING BEGAN WITH THE BASIE'S RUSTY YOUNG DESCRIBING THE BENEFIT SHOW'S MISSION, TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE RESTORATION OF THIS 80-YEAR-OLD THEATER TO ITS ORIGINAL GLORY -- "WHEN THE CEILING WASN'T COVERED IN NETTING" -- AND THIS NIGHT ALONE BROUGHT IN MORE THAN THREE MILLION DOLLARS. YOUNG NOTED THAT PATTI SCIALFA IS THE "HONORARY CO-CHAIR OF OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN," AND AFTER HE ASKED HER FOR IDEAS... "TONIGHT IS HER ANSWER." GENEROUS DONATIONS ALSO MADE IT POSSIBLE, YOUNG SAID, FOR 37 WOUNDED VETERANS TO ATTEND THE SHOW, TALKING THE BUS IN FROM WALTER REED.

PATTI CAME OUT NEXT TO A MIGHTY STANDING OVATION -- "I'M SUPPOSED TO WELCOME YOU, AND YOU'RE WELCOMING ME!" -- SPEAKING OF HER AND THE REST OF THE BAND'S HISTORY AT THE BASIE, AND OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING VENUES LIKE THIS ONE. SHE WAS FOLLOWED BY NBC ANCHOR BRIAN WILLIAMS, WHO GOES BACK A LONG WAY AS A FAN AND WAS CLEARLY PSYCHED JUST TO BE TALKING THROUGH SPRINGSTEEN'S MIC ("THE FIRST AND LAST TIME THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN"). HE RECALLED HITTING THE STONE PONY AND THE TRADEWINDS BACK IN THE DAY, EVER ON BRUCE-WATCH; HE ALSO TOUCHED ON THE RECENT LOSS OF DANNY FEDERICI, SAYING THAT "GREAT FAMILIES ENDURE. AND GREAT, GREAT BANDS ENDURE." "THE NETTING IS JUST TO KEEP THE LARGER PIECES OF DEBRIS FROM FALLING DOWN," HE ADDED, "AND IF THERE'S AN ENTITY THAT COULD CAUSE THE BIG ONES TO FALL, IT'S THIS GROUP HERE.... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND!" AND WITH THAT, IT WAS DARKNESS, SIDE ONE, TO START THE SHOW. "WE'RE GONNA START WITH DARKNESS, SO WE DON'T SEND YOU HOME SUICIDAL!" BRUCE QUICKLY ABORTED "BADLANDS" SECONDS IN, AFTER A ROUGH START: "WE FUCKED IT UP ALREADY! I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON WHY WE DIDN'T DO THIS," HE LAUGHED. "MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T DO IT!" BUT THEY DID IT. AND MAN, THEY DID IT. FROM TRACK TO TRACK, FOR THE FIRST TIME LIVE, IT WAS DARKNESS SEQUENCED AS BRUCE ORIGINALLY INTENDED IT TO BE HEARD, FULL OF INTENSITY FROM THE HOWLS ON "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT" TO THE SEEMINGLY NEVER-ENDING CODA OF "RACING IN THE STREET," A STRAIGHT-AHEAD "FACTORY" (NOT THE BRUCE/PATTI DUET OF RECENT YEARS) WITH STEVE ON MANDOLIN, THE MODERN TWIST ON "PROVE IT ALL NIGHT" AS NILS ROCKED THE NEW SOLO, AND AT THE END OF "SIDE TWO," A HUGELY POWERFUL VOCAL ON THE TITLE TRACK. LOADS OF GUITAR FROM SPRINGSTEEN, TOO -- EVERY SOLO EXCEPT THAT NILS SPECTACULAR, IN FACT. BRUCE OFFERED A SOLO TO STEVE AT ONE POINT, WHICH WAS RESPECTFULLY DECLINED. AFTER AN ONLY-FITTING INTERMISSION, BORN TO RUN GOT THE SAME SEQUENTIAL TREATMENT, OFFERING A DISTINCT REMINDER OF WHAT A FREAKIN' MASTERPIECE IT IS, AS WELL AS OF THE DIFFERENCE IN TONE BETWEEN THE TWO RECORDS. AFTER THE FEROCITY OF THE FIRST SET, HERE BRUCE WAS HAVING A BLAST, JUMPING INTO THE CROWD ON THE "FREEZE-OUT" AND EVEN BEING HELD UP BY THE CROWD -- DID WE MENTION THIS WAS A THEATER SHOW? SEVERAL CLAMBERS UP ON THE PIANO THROUGHOUT THIS SECOND SET, TOO. "TENTH" ALSO BROUGHT A FULL HORN SECTION TO THE STAGE -- "THE MIGHTY MAX HORNS," AS BRUCE LATER CALLED THEM -- CONSISTING OF MARK PENDER ON TRUMPET, LABAMBA ON TROMBONE, JERRY VIVINO AND ED MANION ON SAXES. PENDER CAME BACK OUT FOR "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER," GIVING HIS OWN SPIN TO RANDY BRECKER'S ORIGINAL TRUMPET PART FOR A FEW MINUTES OF ABSOLUTE MAGIC, ALSO THANKS TO THE BEAUTFIUL ACCOMPANIMENT FROM ROY AND GARRY. "JUNGLELAND" HAD STEVE STEPPING UP FOR A SOARING SOLO, AND OF COURSE CLARENCE -- INVIGORATED, UP AND AROUND FOR MUCH OF THIS NIGHT -- DID HIS THING AND DID IT WELL. AND THAT WASN'T THE END -- AS THE NEEDLE HIT THE RUNOUT GROOVE, BRUCE SAID, "LET'S BRING OUT THE HORNS! WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE FOR YOU!" AND THEY USED THE HORN SECTION TO MAXIMUM EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE ENCORE, FOUR BONUS TRACKS STARTING OFF WITH BTR/DARKNESS OUTTAKE "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE." "KITTY'S BACK" WAS NEXT -- "AND SHE'S GOT SOMEBODY WITH HER!" BRUCE TEASED AT THE END, "KITTY'S BACK, AND SHE'S GOT SOMEBODY WITH HER!" THAT SOMEBODY WAS "ROSALITA," AND FINALLY, EDDIE FLOYD'S "RAISE YOUR HAND" MADE SURE WE GOT AN R&B COVER IN THERE FOR THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS '70S THEATER REVIVAL. IT WAS A PARTICULAR BYGONE ERA BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, A CELEBRATION OF THE BAND'S HISTORY AND JUST ONE OF ITS HEYDAYS, AND A TIP OF THE HAT TO A COUPLE OF 30TH ANNIVERSARIES... YET AS EVER WITH SPRINGSTEEN, IT WAS MOST NOTABLY MOVING FORWARD AND TRYING SOMETHING NEW AT THE SAME TIME. AND PLAYING FOR A TAKE-'EM-ALL-IN-WITH-ONE-GLANCE CROWD FROM THE ORCHESTRA TO THE BALCONY, A PACKED THEATER PRACTICALLY ON TOP OF BRUCE AND THE BAND (AT LEAST COMPARED TO WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE PLAYING IN THIS NEW MILLENIUM), IT WAS THE PERFECT CRUCIBLE FOR REVISITING THE PASSION AND THE POWER OF THESE CLASSIC RECORDS. AN EXPERIMENT, NO DOUBT -- AND AN ELECTRIFYING SUCCESS.

MAY 22, 2008

MAY 23 /DUBLIN, IRE / RDS ARENA

"WHO WAS HERE LAST NIGHT?" BRUCE ASKED THE CROWD FRIDAY NIGHT IN DUBLIN, AND HE GOT A HUGE RESPONSE BACK. "GET OUTTA HERE! WE'LL SWITCH IT UP FOR YOU, THEN." BONO, THOUGH IN ATTENDANCE, DIDN'T JOIN IN AS RUMORS SUGGESTED HE WOULD, SO IT WASN'T SWITCHED UP THAT MUCH... BUT MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE SET CHANGED FOR THE SECOND SHOW OF THE LEG, WITH NINE SONGS NOT PLAYED ON OPENING NIGHT. "TRAPPED" INTO "MURDER INCORPORATED" WAS A PARTICULAR HIGH-ENERGY HIGHLIGHT. THE "DARLINGTON COUNTY" THAT FOLLOWED (ONE OF FOUR SONGS PLAYED FROM BORN IN THE U.S.A.) WAS A VERY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE, WITH BRUCE RUNNING ALL OVER THAT ENORMOUS STAGE. "PROVE IT" FEATURED MORE STUNNING AND EVER-EVOLVING SOLO WORK FROM NILS. THOUGH A HOT DAY, IT WAS ANOHER CHILLY NIGHT, AND BEFORE "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES," BRUCE SAID "I GUESS IT'S A LITTLE COOL FOR THIS ONE...." BUT THE BAND'S FINALLY GETTING THE HANG OF IT, THIS WAS PROBABLY THE BEST-SOUNDING LIVE VERSION OF THE SONG TO DATE, AND BRUCE GENERATED ENOUGH HEAT THAT HE TOOK A BEER FROM THE CROWD AND DRANK IT DOWN BEFORE "DEVIL'S ARCADE." "SO I OWE SOMEONE A BEER NOW!"

IN THE ENCORE, SPRINGSTEEN THANKED DUBLIN FOR THEIR "SUPPORT OF ALL THE MUSIC WE'VE MADE, IN THE PAST TEN YEARS ESPECIALLY." AS HE ASKED STEVIE FOR THE TIME IN "GLORY DAYS" -- SLEEPY TIME? QUITTIN' TIME? -- HE WONDERED ALOUD, "MAYBE IT'S GUINNESS TIME!" WITH "DANCING IN THE DARK" NEXT, BRUCE CAME DOWN TO PULL A YOUNG GIRL UP FOR A DANCE, BUT SEEMINGLY OVERWHELMED, SHE HAD TO GO RIGHT BACK TO HER FOLKS. SO INSTEAD, HE WENT THE OTHER DIRECTION AND GRABBED A GROWN-UP GUY FROM BRESCIA, ITALY FOR THE HONOR. BRUCE ANNOUNCED AT SONG'S END: "I WILL NOW SCARE SMALL CHILDREN!" SO THESE NEW TWO-WAY VIDEO SCREENS ARE COOL -- THEY CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL, THEY CONTROL THE VERTICAL. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THEY'RE STARTING TO PLAY AROUND MORE WITH SOME TALL SHOTS, GIVING EVEN THE FARTHEST REACHES OF THE PLACE A NICE VIEW. STILL, THERE ARE SOME KINKS TO WORK OUT, LIKE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT WHEN FOR THE "E! STREET! BAND!" SPLASH GRAPHICS, THE THING JUST GOT STUCK ON "E!" EMBARASSING? EHHHH... NOT THAT EGREGIOUS. MORE LIKE ENTERTAINING.

MAY 25, 2008

MAY 28 / MANCHESTER, UK / OLD TRAFFORD STADIUM

FIVE YEARS (ALMOST TO THE DAY) AFTER BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND PLAYED THE OLD TRAFFORD CRICKET GROUND ON THE RISING TOUR, THEY RETURN TO MANCHESTER FOR ANOTHER OPEN-AIR SHOW AT NEARBY OLD TRAFFORD STADIUM, HOME OF MANCHESTER UNITED. THEY KEEP UP THE CURRENT TREND OF LONGER SHOWS, AGAIN AT 26 SONGS, WITH A GOOD NUMBER OF AUDIBLES INCLUDING "TRAPPED," "DARLINGTON COUNTY," "IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY," AND "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE." A ROCKING SHOW BY ALL ACCOUNTS; NIGEL FORD TELLS US: "BRUCE TOOK THE STAGE ALONGSIDE CLARENCE AND GREETED US WITH THE WORDS, 'GOOD EVENING MANCHESTER, HOME OF THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! WE GOT SOME CELEBRATING TO DO!' THE MANCHESTER UNITED THEME CONTINUED LATER WHEN HE REVEALED THAT HIS 18-YEAR-OLD SON DOESN'T WATCH AMERICAN SPORTS, BUT 'WATCHES SOCCER ALL WEEKEND -- AND THESE ARE HIS BOYS. SO HE'S BEEN GIVING ME THE LOW-DOWN ON WHAT TO SAY WHEN I TREAD THIS HALLOWED GROUND.' THIS DIDN'T ENDEAR HIM TO THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE BY ANY MEANS, BUT HE WAS PRESENTED WITH A MAN UTD SHIRT WITH 'THE BOSS' INSCRIBED ACROSS THE SHOULDERS, WHICH THE BOSS HIMSELF SEEMED PRETTY PLEASED WITH. "THE OPENING FIVE WERE BELTED OUT WITHOUT A SECOND TO SPARE, WITH 'NIGHT' APPEARING TO BE AN AUDIBLE. THE UNDOUBTED HIGHLIGHT OF A BARNSTORMING PERFORMANCE WAS A STONKING VERSION OF 'BECAUSE THE NIGHT,' WITH NILS, WHO WAS ON GREAT FORM ALL EVENING, TREATING US TO A SOLO WHICH SET THE STADIUM ON FIRE, COMPLETE WITH HALF A DOZEN TWIRLS TO FINISH IT OFF. THE FIRST ENCORE WAS 'GROWIN' UP,' DEDICATED TO AND AT THE REQUEST OF A SIX-YEAR OLD BOY, CLEARLY DELIGHTED THAT BRUCE HAD SINGLED HIM OUT FOR SPECIAL ATTENTION. HE SAT ON HIS DAD'S SHOULDERS , WEARING ORANGE EAR PROTECTORS -- WHICH BRUCE HAD A BIT OF FUN WITH HALFWAY THROUGH THE SONG, FAST FORWARDING TO WHEN THE KID WOULD BE REMINISCING ABOUT HIS FIRST CONCERT WHEN 'MY DAD MADE ME WEAR THIS HUGE PAIR OF FREAKY ORANGE TINS ON MY EARS'."

MAY 30 / LONDON, UK / EMIRATES STADIUM

THIS FIRST OF TWO NIGHTS IN LONDON WAS THE FIRST CONCERT TO BE HELD IN EMIRATES STADIUM, AN ENORMOUS VENUE SET DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT NOISE EVER SINCE THESE SHOWS WERE ANNOUNCED. SO WITH AN ESTABLISHED CURFEW, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREETERS MADE SURE TO GO ON EARLY -- "DID I SEE THE SUN? THAT CAN'T BE!" SAID BRUCE. AS IT TURNED OUT, THEY BLEW RIGHT BY THE CURFEW TIME ANYWAY, WITH THE LONGEST SHOW YET OF THE TOUR, AT 28 SONGS. LET OTHERS WORRY ABOUT THE NOISE, BRUCE HAD BIGGER CONCERNS: "NOBODY'S PLAYED HERE BEFORE? WE GOTTA TEST THAT STRUCTURE TONIGHT!"

OPENING WITH "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" GOT THE CROWD INTO IT RIGHT AWAY, AND THE POST-"MAGIC" RUN FROM "ATLANTIC CITY" THROUGH "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" WAS PARTICULARLY STRUCTURE-RATTLING. DURING "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY," WHICH BRUCE SANG FROM OUT ON THE CENTER STAGE THRUST, HE ASKED, "WHO'S GOT THE SIGNS?" AFTER A SWEEP OF THE CROWD FROM SIDE TO SIDE, GATHERING THOSE REQUEST BANNERS AS HE WENT, HE DEPOSITED AN ARMFUL AT CENTER STAGE. FOREGOING "SHE'S THE ONE," HE DECIDED TO DIG THROUGH THE SIGNS INSTEAD, THROWING THEM OVER HIS SHOULDER AS HE WENT AND SETTLING ON ONE FOR "CADDY RANCH." THAT ONE WAS A REAL HIGHLIGHT, FEATURING SOLOS FROM SOOZIE AND STEVE.

THE "BIG" NUMBERS LIKE "MARY'S PLACE" AND "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" KILL THE MOMENTUM A BIT, BUT OF COURSE THEY'RE PERFECT FOR VENUES OF THIS SIZE. BRUCE MADE SURE TO GET EVERYONE ON THE SIDES AND IN THE WAY BACK INVOLVED. "YOU GOTTA DO THAT BIG STADIUM THING!" HE ENCOURAGED ON "SUNNY DAY," GETTING THEM TO WAVE THEIR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE THEY REALLY, REALLY CARE AND TO SING ALONG. "OH, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD FOR HERE!" HE NEEDLED. BACK TO THE SIGN PILE FOR ANOTHER REQUEST: A MAGNIFICENT "POINT BLANK" THAT RECALLED "RACING" IN DUBLIN AS A SONG THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T WORK IN A RIDICULOUSLY LARGE VENUE... BUT REALLY DID. STANDOUT BASS WORK FROM GARRY TALLENT.

HIT AFTER HIT IN THE ENCORE, STARTING WITH AN INSPIRING, COMMUNAL PERFORMANCE OF "THUNDER ROAD" AS A DEDICATION: "WE WANT TO THANK OUR LONGTIME, FAITHFUL ENGLISH FANS... WE'RE GONNA DO THIS FOR YOU." AFTER "BORN TO RUN" AND "GLORY DAYS" (BRUCE: "IS IT TEA TIME?... IS IT SEXY TIME?" STEVE: "NOT YET!"), IT WAS TIME TO REALLY DRIVE THE CROWD WILD. "YOU CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE!" BRUCE HOLLERED. "WE WANNA GIVE IT TO YOU!" HE REPEATED. "WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU!" THEY DID -- "ROSIE" WAS A BLAST. STRUCTURE TEST PASSED. BUT OF COURSE, THAT'S JUST NIGHT ONE.

MAY 31 / LONDON, UK / EMIRATES STADIUM

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW FOR NIGHT TWO IN LONDON -- THIS ONE ENDED RIGHT AT CURFEW, AT 24 SONGS, BUT WAS NICE AND LOOSE, WITH A FULL HALF OF THE SET NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE. BILL CUNNINGHAM WRITES: "IT'S HARD TO DECIDE WHICH OF THE TWO WAS THE BETTER NIGHT -- WITH SO MANY SETLIST CHANGES, IT FELT ALMOST AS IF THE TWO-NIGHT RUN IN LONDON WAS JUST ONE WONDERFUL SIX-HOUR SHOW."

ONE NOTABLE CHANGE WAS MOVING "RADIO NOWHERE" TO THE FIFTH SLOT. THEY OPENED WITH A BANG WITH "OUT IN THE STREET," AND BURNED THROUGH "NO SURRENDER," "DARKNESS," AND "GYPSY BIKER" -- NONE OF WHICH WERE PLAYED ON FRIDAY -- BEFORE GETTING TO WHAT HAD BEEN THE TRADITIONAL CONCERT OPENER LAST TIME THEY WERE IN THESE PARTS. "SANDY" AND "GROWIN' UP" WERE WRAPPED AROUND SOME DANNY STORIES, AND THEN IT WAS ON TO BACK-TO-BACK BORN IN THE U.S.A. RARITIES: "DOWNBOUND TRAIN" AND "I'M ON FIRE." THESE WERE THE FIRST TOUR PREMIERES OF THIS EUROPEAN LEG.

IAN HENRY TELLS US: "IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FEW SONGS SHORTER, BUT IT WAS SIMPLY SENSATIONAL AND AWESOME TONIGHT. BRUCE WAS SERIOUSLY ON FIRE, THE SET WAS SO RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST NIGHT, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF 'JUNGLELAND' WAS, IN MY 32-SHOW EXPERIENCE, PROBABLY THE FINEST. BUT THE REAL JOY WAS 'SANDY'; THIS WEEK, MY LIST OF SONGS I WAS DESPERATE TO HEAR LIVE WAS THREE: 'POINT BLANK,' 'SANDY,' AND 'NYC SERENADE.' AS ANOTHER BIG MAN ONCE SANG, TO ROY ON THE PIANO I BELIEVE, TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD. AND TONIGHT PROVED ONE THING TO ME, IAN’S FIRST LAW OF BRUCE CONCERTS THEORY: IF HE IS PLAYING TWO SHOWS IN YOUR TOWN AND YOU CAN'T DO BOTH, DO THE SECOND! BUT I DID BOTH, AND I -- LIKE THE BAND -- NEED MY TWO-WEEK REST. ROLL ON CARDIFF!"

JUNE 14 / CARDIFF, UK / MILLENNIUM STADIUM

GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD FOR THE EUROPEAN STADIUM TOUR, BRUCE BEGAN THE MARATHON CARDIFF STADIUM SHOW WITH "A WELSH CONNECTION": THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "FROM SMALL THINGS (BIG THINGS ONE DAY COME)," A SONG HE WROTE AND GAVE TO WELSHMAN DAVE EDMUNDS YEARS AGO. SOME BACK STORY: WHEN THE CARDIFF-BORN EDMUNDS "WENT TO SEE SPRINGSTEEN PERFORM AT WEMBLEY ARENA [IN 1981]," WRITES GARRY GRAFF IN THE TIES THAT BIND, "HE EXPECTED A GOOD SHOW BUT NOT NECESSARILY A NEW SONG TO RECORD. 'I WAS BACKSTAGE IN THE HOSPITALITY AREA AFTER THE GIG,' EDMUNDS REMEMBERED, 'AND ONE OF HIS CREW OF ROAD MANAGERS TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID, "BRUCE WANTS TO MEET YOU." I WENT BACK AND HAD THIS GREAT TALK WITH HIM, AND HE PLAYED ME THIS SONG AND SAID, "I'D LIKE YOU TO DO THIS, IF YOU LIKE IT." HE SAID HE'D SEND ME THE TAPE, WHICH HE DID." EDMUNDS' "FROM SMALL THINGS" WAS RELEASED ON D.E. 7TH IN 1982, AND SPRINGSTEEN'S OWN VERSION FINALLY EMERGED ON ESSENTIAL IN 2003. IN THE ENCORE, A MORE BITTERSWEET CONNECTION, AS SPRINGSTEEN SENT OUT "THUNDER ROAD" TO THE LATE TIM RUSSERT: "I'D LIKE TO DO THIS TONIGHT FOR A LONG TIME FRIEND OF THE E STREET BAND WHO PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY. "TIM RUSSERT WAS AN IMPORTANT UNREPLACABLE VOICE IN AMERICAN JOURNALISM. I WATCHED HIM HOLD OUR POLITICIANS FEET TO THE FIRE ON MANY SUNDAY MORNINGS. HE WAS ALWAYS A STRONG VOICE FOR HONESTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT .. BUT BEYOND THAT HE WAS A LOVELY PRESENCE, A GOOD FATHER, HUSBAND, AND GOOD GUY. HE WAS A REGULAR AT MANY E STREET BAND SHOWS AND I'M GOING TO MISS LOOKING DOWN AND SEEING THAT BIG SMILING FACE IN THE CROWD. "WE SEND THIS OUT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE STATES TONIGHT FOR HIS SON LUKE, HIS WIFE MAUREEN, HIS DAD BIG RUSS, AND ALL THE RUSSERT FAMILY. "TIM, GOD BLESS YOU, WE WILL MISS YOU..."

IN BETWEEN, THERE WAS A RIOTOUS "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT," PRECEDED BY A STORY ABOUT DANNY AND MAD DOG, WITH PARTICULARLY FUNNY BIT AT THE BEGINNING AS STEVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT BRUCE WAS PLAYING. "THE RIVER," WITH SOME STIRRING FALSETTO AT THE END, WAS TRANSCENDENT. NILS' "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" SOLO WAS A REAL HIGHLIGHT, AS USUAL, AND CLARENCE WAS IN PARTICULARLY FINE FORM IN THE ENCORE, WITH WONDERFUL SOLOS ON "THUNDER ROAD" AND "JUNGLELAND." AND ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT AT THE END OF THE SHOW: BRUCE TELLING THE CROWD, "WE'LL BE BACK!"

JUN 16 LTU ARENA DUSSELDORF, GER

NOTES: THE WEATHER WAS FINE, THE ARENA WAS PACKED, AND EVERYBODY WAS IN A GREAT MOOD WHEN THE E STREET BAND STARTED THEIR SET WITH "JACKSON CAGE." AND THEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND VERSE... THE VIDEO SCREENS AND THE SOUND WENT OFF. COMPLETELY. BRUCE AND THE BAND WERE CARRYING ON FOR A FEW MOMENTS, MAYBE HOPING FOR THE SOUND TO COME BACK, BUT THEY FINALLY STOPPED PLAYING. THE SHOCK TURNED INTO A VERY FUNNY MOMENT, WITH THE E STREETERS WAVING AND SMILING APOLOGETICALLY. WHEN THE SOUND CAME BACK A FEW MINUTES LATER BRUCE GRINNED AND SAID, "MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH ANOTHER ONE!" AND SO, THE SHOW RE-STARTED WITH A TRIUMPHANT "NIGHT," WHICH ENDED WITH BRUCE AND CLARENCE CROSSING THEMSELVES, THANKING THE LORD FOR GETTING THROUGH THE SONG WITHOUT ANOTHER SOUND GLITCH. HOWEVER, DURING THE FOLLOWING "RADIO NOWHERE," JUST AS CLARENCE WAS GOING INTO HIS SAX SOLO, THE VIDEO SCREENS AND THE SOUND WENT OFF A SECOND TIME! THIS TIME BRUCE USED THE FREE MOMENTS TO GO RIGHT INTO THE AUDIENCE AND COLLECT BANNERS WITH THE REQUESTS. AGAIN, HE DIDN'T LOSE HIS SENSE OF HUMOR, REMARKING WHEN THE POWER CAME BACK: "THIS GOES TO SHOW, THE E STREET BAND IS 100% LIVE!" THE POWER FAILURE TRANSLATED INTO A POWER HIGH THAT MADE THIS SHOW ONE OF THE MOST FIERCE AND MOST FUN SHOWS I'VE SEEN. "RADIO NOWHERE" WAS PLAYED AGAIN, WITH GREAT DEDICATION AND FORCE IN THE FACE OF EVERYBODY'S FEAR OF HAVING THE SHOW CANCELLED. "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" HAD BRUCE DIVING INTO THE AUDIENCE, LITERALLY BEING LIFTED UP BY THE MANY HANDS OF THE FANS. WHEN THE SONG GOT TO THE QUIET PART (AND EVERYBODY FEARED A NEW POWER GLITCH), BRUCE GRINNED AND ADDED, "WE'RE STILL ON." THIS LOOSE AND "ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME" ATMOSPHERE WAS ON ONE HAND UNSETTLING (AS BRUCE REMARKED AFTER THE POWER GLITCH: "THAT WAS TERRIBLE!"). ON THE OTHER HAND, IT MADE FOR A VERY SPECIAL ENERGY WHICH THE E STREET BAND USED TO CREATE AN EXTREMELY FORCEFUL AND TIGHT SET. AFTER "MAGIC" THE FIRST REQUEST WAS PLAYED: A HAUNTING "TRAPPED" (WHICH FIT VERY NICELY COMING AFTER "MAGIC"). THE MOOD LIGHTENED WITH "DARLINGTON COUNTY," DURING WHICH BRUCE AGAIN DOVE INTO THE PIT, INTERACTING WITH THE CROWD IN A WAY THAT SUGGESTED HE WAS ENJOYING THE EXPERIENCE MORE THAN EVER. THE PERFORMANCE WAS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN, SIMPLY BECAUSE BRUCE AND THE BAND CLEARLY WERE ON A MISSION TO SHOW EVERYBODY THAT NO POWER FAILURE CAN STOP THE POWER OF THE E STREET BAND. IN THE END, EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY -- ALTHOUGH SOOZIE'S FIDDLE SEEMED TO HAVE ITS OWN POWER FAILURE AT THE BEGINNING OF "AMERICAN LAND," SO BRUCE GAVE HER TWO NEW STARTS -- WITHOUT ANOTHER MAJOR TECHNICAL HICCUP. THE LACK OF ELECTRICITY FOR THE EQUIPMENT WAS MORE THAN MADE UP FOR BY THE SHEER ELECTRICITY OF THIS BAND IN TOP FORM. A MAGIC NIGHT, ABSOLUTELY. IF ONLY BRUCE HAD ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WOULD RETURN!

JUNE 18 / AMSTERDAM, NED / AMSTERDAM ARENA

NOTES: A FUN, INTERACTIVE SHOW IN AMSTERDAM TURNED INTO A TRUE STUNNER IN THE ENCORE, AS BRUCE AND THE BAND TACKLED A CLASSIC COVER THEY HAVEN'T DONE SINCE THE RIVER TOUR. WE'LL LET HELEN SET THE SCENE: "THE NETHERLANDS ARE IN A STATE OF EUPHORIA AT THE MOMENT, AS OUR COUNTRY IS DOING VERY WELL IN THE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE TEAM PLAY IN ORANGE, OUR NATIONAL COLOR. ROY CAME ONSTAGE WEARING AN ORANGE CAP, AND BRUCE BELTED OUT: "ITALY, FRANCE, ROMANIA!" (THE THREE COUNTRIES WE BEAT SO FAR). A HUGE ROAR FROM EVERYONE. LATER ON BRUCE COMMENTED ON IT FURTHER, SAYING THAT EVERYTHING IN THE NETHERLANDS SEEMED TO BE ORANGE: THE HOUSES, THE PEOPLE, THE BICYCLES... SOMEONE GAVE BRUCE AN ORANGE GARLAND, WHICH HE WORE AROUND HIS NECK." MASSIMO BENVEGNU REPORTS: "WHAT A FUN NIGHT WE ALL HAD IN AMSTERDAM, BRUCE INCLUDED! AFTER A STANDARD STADIUM START WITH 'OUT IN THE STREET,' THINGS REALLY GOT STARTED WITH AN AMAZINGLY TOUCHING 'PROMISED LAND,' SPRINGSTEEN SINGING THE FINAL VERSE HOLDING THE AUDIENCE'S HANDS. IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY VISITS TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE, WITH BRUCE VISIBLY PLEASED BY THE ATTENTION HE RECEIVED FROM DUTCH GIRLS! AND HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE -- ONE BROUGHT A BANNER THAT READ 'PRINCESS OF LITTLE STEVEN,' WHICH BRUCE PLACED BY STEVE'S MIC. THE OBVIOUS DUTCH CONNECTION OF VAN ZANDT AND SPRINGSTEEN MADE IT FOR A VERY FUN, LOOSE ATMOSPHERE. THROUGHOUT THE EVENING SPRINGSTEEN EXTRACTED MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FROM THE AUDIENCE, INCLUDING A BUNCH OF SUNFLOWERS, A 'WELPIE' (A LION CUB TOY, THE MASCOT FOR THE DUTCH FOOTBALL TEAM), AND A YOUNG GIRL THAT DOVE THROUGH THE AUDIENCE TO HUG THE BOSS DURING 'DARLINGTON COUNTY.'" "BUT WHAT HAD THE BIGGEST IMPACT WAS A SIGN FOR 'SUMMERTIME BLUES,' WHICH THEY ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE ENCORES, MUCH TO EVERYBODY'S AMAZEMENT! AT THE END OF THE OBVIOUSLY IMPROVISED PERFORMANCE (THEY HAD NOT PLAYED THE COVER IN 27 YEARS), STEVE EVEN STARTED THE OPENING CHORDS TO 'GLORIA' -- IT FELT LIKE THE E STREET BAND TURNED INTO A HIGH SCHOOL BAND PLAYING A PROM NIGHT IN, ERRR... WAY BACK WHEN! THEY KEPT ROCKIN' WITH RARITIES FROM THEIR OWN REPERTOIRE -- 'STAND ON IT' AND 'SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK' -- STRAIGHT AFTER IT. 'BOBBY JEAN' WAS PLAYED WITH GREAT FEELING, AND STEVE DID HIS BEST SAM COOKE ON 'LONG WALK HOME,' WHICH SPRINGSTEEN PRAISED WITH A 'BEAUTIFUL!' AND THE BIGGEST GRIN EVER. BRUCE AND THE BAND PLAYED WITH A GREAT HEART. A MOVING NIGHT, BOTH POIGNANT AND FUNNY!"

JUN 21 HSH NORDBANK ARENA HAMBURG, GER

NOTES: "SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT," "SHERRY DARLING," "INCIDENT"... "HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN"?! "WHAT A SHOW AND WHAT A SETLIST," WRITES JAKOB HAUGAARD CHRISTIANSEN, "IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT! IT WAS MORE LIKE A WISHING WELL OR A REQUEST-NIGHT MADE IN HEAVEN." ERIK KNEVELBAARD REPORTS: "THE ENERGY AND FUN BRUCE HAS THIS LEG IS AMAZING. THE NOW-FAMOUS MOVE WHERE BRUCE BENDS OVER BEFORE THE FRONT ROW CROWD HAD A SPECIAL TWIST DURING A HIGH-ENERGY 'SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT.' DURING PREVIOUS SHOWS IT ALWAYS WAS A WOMAN ON THE BIG SCREEN BETWEEN BRUCE'S LEGS, THIS TIME IT WAS A FELLOW -- WHICH MADE FOR A GOOD LAUGH THROUGHOUT THE SOLD-OUT STADIUM. BUT WHAT MADE THIS SHOW EXTRA SPECIAL IS THE FACT THAT HE PLAYED A KILLER SET. "AFTER 'SPIRIT' BRUCE PICKED UP A LOT OF SIGNS, AND SOME VERY GOOD ONES! WE SAW 'SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT' AND ALMOST DIDN'T DARE TO HOPE... BUT THEN BRUCE SAID 'LET'S GO, STEVE' AND SHOWED THE SIGN WE HOPED FOR! I FINALLY GOT TO HEAR ONE OF MY ALLTIME FAVES -- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME ON THIS TOUR SO FAR. AND THAT WAS JUST THE START, BECAUSE STEVE GOT HIS FAVE WITH 'HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN.' BRUCE DESCRIBED IT AS THE BAND'S MOST 'PUNK' SONG. IT WAS GREAT, JUST SMOKING, AND STEVE WAS ALL SMILES! IF I'M CORRECT, IT'S THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SHORT GEM SINCE 1981. "BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE, AS BRUCE SAID 'WE'RE GONNA GET THEM ALL OUT'... AND THEY DID! A GREAT 'HUNGRY HEART' FOR A LADY IN THE FRONT ROW WHO BRUCE HAD SEEN AT MANY SHOWS. BRUCE WANTED TO PLAY IT ACOUSTIC, BUT THE BAND (INCLUDING CHARLIE) CONVINCED HIM THEY KNEW IT, SO AFTER BRUCE PLAYED THE FIRST VERSE ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR TOGETHER WITH THE WHOLE STADIUM, THE BAND KICKED IN AND THE CROWD WENT WILD. A GREAT 'INCIDENT' HAD ME CHOKED FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT, AND THE SOLO AT THE END WAS VERY POWERFUL, BRUCE WAS VERY FOCUSED FOR THIS ONE. THE ENCORES HAD THE WHOLE STADIUM SHAKING AND LEFT US ALL OUT OF BREATH BUT OH SO SATISFIED. AFTER THIS SHOW AND THE SONGS PLAYED, ONE HAS TO WONDER WHAT COMES NEXT? I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SHOWS TO COME -- THE GAME IS REALLY ON NOW!"

JUNE 23 / ANTWERP, BEL / SPORTPALEIS

A ONE-OFF ARENA SHOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS STADIUM LEG, BUT DON'T THINK BECAUSE THEY CAME IN OUT OF THE SUNSHINE THAT IT WAS ANY LESS HOT -- IT WAS HOTTER. BRUCE WAS BRINGING WATER DOWN TO THE AUDIENCE -- SOMETIMES IN CUPS, SOMETIMES VIA SPONGE -- AND EVEN PLAYED JANITOR, MOPPING UP THE WET FLOOR. AFTER "HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN" IN HAMBURG, BRUCE AND THE BAND KEEP THE SURPISES COMING, INCLUDING "SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE" OPENING THE MAIN SET AND "I'M A ROCKER" TO KICK OFF THE ENCORE. ERIK BLOCK REPORTS FROM HIS HOMETOWN: "IT WAS A FULL HOUSE, 17,000 FANS, THE SOUND WAS GREAT, AND IT WAS ROCKING ALL NIGHT LONG. THE SONGS FOLLOWED UP VERY FAST, NO TIME FOR STORIES -- ONLY JUST AFTER A PURE AND REFRESHING 'SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT,' BRUCE HAD A BREAK. HE WENT TO THE CROWD, LOOKING FOR SOME REQUESTS -- SOME WRITTEN ON A CARDBORD PIZZA BOX OR ON A VERY SMALL PAPER -- AND HE TOOK QUITE A LOT OF THEM BACK ON STAGE. DURING THE SHOW, HE WOULD PICK SOME OF THEM OUT, PLAYING SONGS LIKE 'SANDY' AND 'POINT BLANK.' "ANOTHER BREAK CAME WHEN BRUCE WAS LOOKING FOR THE SIGN HANGING ABOVE THE BACK OF THE STAGE, ABOVE MAX. HE WAS ASKING THE LIGHTS AND CAMERAS TO CATCH THE SIGN, BUT IT WAS QUITE DIFFICULT... FINALLY THEY FOUND IT: 'THUNDERCRACK'! A GREAT SONG FROM THE 1970S. BRUCE HAD TO ASK IF EVERYBODY WAS READY, TELLING THE AUDIENCE THAT THE E STREETERS ARE ALWAYS READY... ALMOST ALWAYS! "'FIRE': THE DUET WITH CLARENCE WAS GREAT! AN ESPECIALLY COOL MOMENT, WHEN THEY BOTH STOPPED SINGING. IT LOOKED THAT THE SHOW WAS ONE BIG "ASK FOR YOUR FAVORITE SONGS" PERFORMANCE. BUT IT WAS GREAT, NOBODY WAS COMPLAINING. WHEN THE E STREET BAND CAME BACK OUT FOR THE ENCORE, THEY GAVE US A TOUR PREMIER, 'I'M A ROCKER.' THE AUDIENCE WAS BURNING AND GAVE HIM A STANDING OVATION FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW! THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY A ROCKING 'BORN TO RUN' AND 'THUNDER ROAD.' 'ISN’T IT TOO HOT?' BRUCE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES, AND HE AND STEVE ACTED LIKE WAITERS WHEN THEY GAVE THE CROWD WATER TO REFRESH THEM. BUT NOBODY FELT THE HEAT, ONLY THE WAVES OF THE SOUND."

JUN 25 SAN SIRO MILAN, ITA

NOTES: THE LONGEST MAGIC SHOW YET, AT 29 SONGS, INCLUDING THREE CLASSIC COVERS. WHILE BRUCE'S LAST STOP AT SAN SIRO COINCIDED WITH A DOWNPOUR, THIS TIME THE RAIN HAD TO COME FROM BRUCE HIMSELF, AGAIN DOUSING THE CROWD TO TRY AND COOL THEM OFF ON A SCORCHING DAY. DISTORTED SOUND, PARTICULARLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW, BUT BY ALL ACCOUNTS A PERFORMANCE WORTHY OF THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS IN MILAN -- EVEN WITH "THE RIVER" AND "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" SETLISTED BUT NOT PLAYED. PAOLO FUMAGALLI REPORTS: "WHAT AN AMAZING SHOW! THE CONCERT WAS EXACTLY THREE HOURS LONG, FROM 8:50 TO 11:50 SHARP. I HADN'T SEEN SUCH A LONG CONCERT FROM BRUCE SINCE THE RISING TOUR, OR EVEN THE REUNION TOUR. BRUCE IS SAID TO HAVE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ITALIAN AUDIENCE, AND PARTICULARLY MILANO, WHERE HE FIRST PLAYED SAN SIRO STADIUM ON THE 1985 TOUR. THIS ONE WAS FULL THROTTLE -- IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I'VE SEEN BRUCE SO CHARGED, EXCITED AND POWERFUL. "BRUCE OPENED THE SHOW SHOUTING, 'IS IT HOT ENOUGH IN HERE?!' AND THEN HE ADDED, 'WE'LL MAKE IT EVEN HOTTER!' BEFORE GOING RIGHT INTO 'SUMMERTIME BLUES.' THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCES OF 'NONE BUT THE BRAVE' (BRUCE: "MMHH, LET'S SEE IF I REMEMBER IT...') AND 'HUNGRY HEART' WERE SELECTED BY BRUCE THANKS TO SIGNS FROM THE FANS IN THE PIT. THE FIRST REAL PEAK OF THE GIG WAS 'DARLINGTON'/'BECAUSE THE NIGHT'/'SHE'S THE ONE.' A SECOND EMOTIONAL PEAK WAS 'I'M ON FIRE,' WHICH BRUCE SANG WHILE SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE STAGE, LEANING OUT TO THE PIT WHILE HUGGING NILS (ALSO SITTING) WITH ONE ARM. AND THEN 'RACING IN THE STREET' ESPECIALLY, WITH ROY BITTAN ON THE PIANO AND BRUCE SINGING, AND THEN THE PROGRESSION OF MAX'S DRUMS... ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF THE SHOW. 'RACING' WAS ALSO PLAYED BY REQUEST FROM A SIGN IN THE PIT. "THEN IT WAS A CONSTANT CLIMAX FROM 'BADLANDS' (THE STADIUM SEEMED ABOUT TO CRUMBLE DOWN) ONWARDS. 'DETROIT MEDLEY' WAS PLAYED BECASUE LITTLE STEVEN TAPPED ON BRUCE'S SHOULDER TO POINT OUT THE BANNER HANGING FROM THE UPPER LEVEL. AFTER 'AMERICAN LAND,' BRUCE CALLED BACK THE E STREETERS, WHO WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO LEAVE THE STAGE, AND STARTED A RIFF ON HIS GUITAR. THERE IT WAS: A WONDERFULLY ENJOYABLE 'TWIST AND SHOUT,' A TOUR PREMIER WHICH HAD THE WHOLE AUDIENCE DANCING TILL WE DROPPED."

JUN 27 PARC DES PRINCES PARIS, FRA

SHOW-OPENER "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" IS AS POWERFUL AS IT COMES, AND IT SET THE BAR FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE SET IN PARIS. HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME WERE "SPIRIT," A REQUEST FOR WHICH HAPPENED TO COINCIDE WITH THE SETLIST, ANOTHER POWERHOUSE IN "RENDEZVOUS" (A PERFECT FIT FOR THE SETTING), AND A FIRST OUTING IN EUROPE FOR "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART." BRUCE WAS SO FIRED UP DURING "DARLINGTON COUNTY" THAT HE LEFT NILS BEHIND WHEN HE SHOT OFF TO ONE SIDE TO SEE THE CROWD, AND THEIR DUET WAS CONDUCTED WITH BRUCE ON THE RUN ACROSS THE FRONT APRON. MAX MAY NEED STRONGER SPECS... HE STARTED "I'M ON FIRE" WHEN BRUCE WAS HOLDING UP A REQUEST FOR "FIRE." THEY SOON GOT IT RIGHT, AND CLARENCE COMES INTO HIS OWN HERE WITH THE DEEPEST VOICE IN THE BAND; THE TWO OF THEM MUGGED IT UP, MILKING THE PAUSE FOR ALL IT WAS WORTH -- THAT WAS MAGIC. WITH EVEN MORE MAGIC TO COME, AS BRUCE TOOK OVER THE PIANO FOR A SOLO VERSION OF "FOR YOU." I'M SURE I HEARD A PIN DROP UP THE BACK SOMEWHERE, AND I FELT BAD BUT I HAD TO TAKE A COUPLE OF RARE PICS OF BRUCE AT THE KEYS... WHAT HAS BECOME A FAIRLY STANDARD END-OF-SET SECTION WAS AUGMENTED BY A SHOW-CLOSING "OUT IN THE STREET," BUT IF I'M HONEST, "BADLANDS" WORKS BETTER FOR THAT PURPOSE. FAIRLY STANDARD ENCORES ALSO, BUT OF COURSE THIS BEING PARIS WE WERE TREATED TO NOT ONE BUT TWO GUEST APPEARANCES: ELLIOTT MURPHY OF COURSE, BUT NOW HIS SON GASPARD JOINS IN TOO, ALSO A GUITARIST. GASPARD STAYED AS CLOSE TO BRUCE AS POSSIBLE DURING "BORN TO RUN" TO CHECK OUT BRUCE'S MOVES. THE LOOK ON BRUCE'S FACE SHOWED THAT HE WAS ONLY TOO HAPPY TO BE PASSING ON HIS SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE. ELLIOTT SHARED A MICROPHONE WITH SOOZIE DURING "AMERICAN LAND," BUT -- ESPECIALLY THROUGH A LONG LENS -- IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT HE HAD NO IDEA HOW THE SONG GOES! SO, SOME MOMENTS THAT WERE TRULY WONDERFUL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING IF SOME OF THE OTHER REQUESTS BRUCE PLUCKED OUT HAD COINCIDED WITH THE ALTERNATES ON THE SETLIST SUCH AS "TOUGHER THAN THE REST," "LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS," AND "LOST IN THE FLOOD"... THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING MORE TO LOOK FORWARD TO, ISN'T THERE?

JUNE 29 / COPENHAGEN, DEN / PARKEN

ANOTHER 29-SONG SET TIES COPENHAGEN WITH MILAN FOR THE MOST SONGS YET. AUDIBLES ABOUNDED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, WITH "TWO HEARTS" (PREVIOUSLY PLAYED JUST ONCE ON THIS TOUR, BACK IN OCTOBER) REPLACING THE SETLISTED "THUNDER ROAD" OPENER. CHRISTOPHER LIND ARLAUD WRITES: "EARLY ON IN THE SET, BRUCE GATHERED UP A BUNCH OF REQUESTS SCRAWLED ON PIECES OF CARDBOARD AND SORTED THROUGH THEM WITH COMMENTS LIKE, 'NO, THAT'S TOO HARD,' OR 'GEE, DON'T SEE THAT ONE OFTEN,' OR 'NO, TOO MANY WORDS IN THAT ONE...." SO WITH REMARKS LIKE THAT, IT WAS A BIG SUPRISE THAT HE DID 'BLINDED BY THE LIGHT!'" ALSO PLAYED ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT WERE "OUT IN THE STREET," "TRAPPED," "I'M ON FIRE," "DOWNBOUND TRAIN," "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK," "RAMROD," AND THAT MAGICAL SOLO-PIANO "FOR YOU." MARTIN JENSEN DESCRIBES THE LAST OF THESE: "BRUCE GAVE THE BAND A BREAK WHEN HE WENT TO THE PIANO AND MADE 45,000 PEOPLE SILENT WHILE PLAYING 'FOR YOU' IN THE DARKNESS OF THE STADIUM. THIS SONG GAVE ME THE CONFIRMATION THAT BRUCE'S VOCALS ARE AT THEIR PEAK -- WITH THE STRONG COMBINATION OF POWER, MASCULINITY, VULNERABILITY, AND EVEN PAIN, HE SANG EACH WORD AS A DEEP ECHO FROM HIS HEART. STUNNING, I MUST SAY!" COMPLAINTS CONTINUE TO COME IN ABOUT THE SOUND, EVEN IN A SCALED-DOWN STADIUM LIKE THIS ONE, BUT NOT ABOUT MUCH ELSE. BRUCE IS EVEN HANDLING CONCESSIONS: "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT" -- WHICH MADE FOR THREE SONGS FROM GREETINGS -- FOUND HIM GRABBING A PACK OF CARLSBERG BEER FROM HE CROWD, RUNNING ACROSS THE STAGE AND PASSING THEM OUT TO FANS (THOUGH NOT BEFORE TAKING A SIP HIMSELF). FROM ANDERS SOLBERG'S VANTAGE IN THE PIT: "IN THE ENCORE WHEN THEY PLAYED 'SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK' AND 'RAMROD,' I ALMOST LOST MY HEARING. EVERYBODY WAS SINGING AND SCREAMING SO MUCH THAT I'M SURE IT WAS LOUDER THAN THE MUSIC. JUST AMAZING. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE COPENHAGEN SHOW. 29 SONGS. THREE HOURS. NON-STOP ACTION. GREAT AUDIENCE. AMAZING ENERGY BY THE BAND. I THINK THIS TOUR JUST MADE IT'S WAY UP THERE WITH 1978 AND THE REUNION TOUR."

JULY 4 / GOTEBORG, SWE / ULLEVI

NOTES: SWEDISH SHOWS GENERATE THE SAME LEVEL EXCITEMENT AS BRUCE'S VISITS TO ITALY AND SPAIN. WITH A TWO-NIGHT STAND IN GOTEBORG ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS, JOHN WRITES: "THE WHOLE CITY WENT BRUCE CRAZY FOR THE WEEKEND -- EVERY CAFE BLARING TUNES, NEWSPAPER PULL-OUT SECTIONS, RADIO PROMOTIONS -- IT WAS NUTS. THE EUROPEAN FANS DON'T TAKE BRUCE FOR GRANTED AS SOME OF US JERSEY FANS DO, AND HERE IN SWEDEN THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT WHEN THE FANS BROKE THE STADIUM IN '85." AND THIS 2008 RETURN TO GOTEBORG SPARKED EVEN GREATER ANTICIPATION, WITH A PERFORMANCE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. OF COURSE, BRUCE AND THE BAND CAME THROUGH WITH FLYING COLORS, RED, WHITE AND BLUE. FOR THE OCCASION WE HAD THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "BORN IN THE U.S.A." TO OPEN (LAST PLAYED AT A MAGIC WARM-UP SHOW), PLUS BOTH "4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)" AND "INDEPENDENCE DAY," THE LATTER PLAYED ONLY IN DALLAS ON THIS TOUR. ADDITIONAL RARITIES INCLUDED "THIS HARD LAND," "CADILALC RANCH," AND "BE TRUE." HERE IN THE STATES, SIRIUS' E STREET RADIO BROADCAST LIVE FROM THE SHOW, INCLUDING "SANDY," "ATLANTIC CITY," "BECAUSE THE NIGHT," "CADILLAC RANCH," "INDEPENDENCE DAY," AND THE FINAL FIVE SONGS OF THE NIGHT.

JULY 5 / GOTEBORG, SWE / ULLEVI

NOTES: FOR THIS SECOND SHOW OF A TWO-NIGHT STAND, SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND THRILLED REPEAT-ATTENDEES (AND FOR THAT MATTER, ALL ATTENDEES) WITH AN ASTOUNDING SET, CONTAINING 17 SONGS NOT PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE. THAT INCLUDED "SUMMERTIME BLUES" BY REQUEST, "ROULETTE," AND THE FIRST FULL-BAND "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" SINCE 1981. WITH CLARENCE TAKING TWO SOLOS, "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" WAS PURE MAGIC. AS FOR MAGIC ITSELF, ITS PRESENCE IN THE SHOW WAS NOTABLY DIMINISHED, AS "RADIO NOWHERE" WAS DROPPED FOR THE FIRST TIME; THE FIRST SONG PLAYED FROM THE NEW ALBUM WAS IN SLOT 15. INSTEAD, THERE WERE SURPRISES LEFT AND RIGHT, WITH "HUNGRY HEART" AND "BACKSTREETS" PLAYED EARLY IN THE SET, AND "JANEY" GETTING A RARE AIRING AS WELL. THE CLIMAX OF THE SHOW WAS PERHAPS INEVITABLE, AT LEAST FORESEEABLE, BUT NO LESS THRILLING AS BRUCE AND THE BAND OFFERED UP ONE MORE FOR SWEDEN AFTER "AMERICAN LAND." TOBIAS SONESTEDT WRITES: "THE STANDARD SHOW-CLOSER WAS WONDERFUL, CHEERFUL AND AS FANTASTIC AS COULD BE... BUT WHEN THE BAND WAS PERSUADED BY THE AUDIENCE TO PLAY THE CLASSIC 'STADIUM-WRECKER' 'TWIST AND SHOUT' -- ULLEVI WAS DAMAGED DURING THE TWO SHOWS IN 1985, THANKS TO THAT SONG -- IT FELT LIKE THE STADIUM EXPLODED. IT WAS A FAIRY-TALE ENDING OF A WONDERFUL NIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING WORKED AND THE AUDIENCE WAS AS GOOD AS AN AUDIENCE CAN BE. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IS THE UNDISPUTED CONCERT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD."

JULY 7 / OSLO, NOR / VALLE HOVIN STADION

NOTES: GRAEME JOHANNESSEN WRITES: "WHAT?!? 30 SONGS!?! AND THAT ON A COLD, DAMP AND DREARY EVENING IN OSLO? AN AMAZING RENDITION OF 'COVER ME'? A LITTLE GIRL LEADING THE CHORUS ON 'HUNGRY HEART' AT SONG NUMBER FOUR? HAS BRUCE LOST HIS MARBLES? NEVER MIND THAT VALLE HOVIN IS POSSIBLY THE WORST PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE TO HAVE A CONCERT; THE CROWD WAS INTO IT FROM THE OFF, BRUCE CLEARLY IN A GREAT MOOD AS HE RIPPED INTO 'TWO HEARTS.' FOLLOWING THAT, THE HIGHLIGHTS CAME THICK AND FAST, 'ATLANTIC CITY' A NOTABLE AS WELL AS THE EVER FANTASTIC AND EMOTIONAL 'RACING IN THE STREET.'"

JULY 8 / OSLO, NOR / VALLE HOVIN STADION

ALTHOUGH THE NEWSPAPERS WERE FULL OF PRAISE FOR NIGHT ONE AND GAVE IT TOP MARKS, THIS SECOND SHOW PROVED TO BE EVEN BETTER. AT 30 SONGS AND CLOCKING IN AT ABOUT 3 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES, IT WAS THE LONGEST SHOW OF THE TOUR YET. HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE FIRST HALF INCLUDED "ADAM RAISED A CAIN" AND AND "GROWIN' UP." THE LATTER WAS A REQUEST FORM THE SAME LITTLE GIRL WHO SANG ON "HUNGRY HEART" YESTERDAY. BRUCE NOTED: "OH, YOU'RE BACK TODAY!"

[CORRECTION: TOM GARDNER WRITES, "BRUCE PICKED UP THE 'GROWIN' UP' SIGN FROM MY LITTLE, BUT NOT THAT LITTLE AND CERTAINLY NOT THAT YOUNG, FRIEND JANICE BOLTON WHO WAS IN THE FIRST ROW WITH MYSELF AND HER BOYFRIEND, LAURIE. ON THE REAR OF THE SIGN WAS A REQUEST FOR 'JOLE BLON.' WE WERE TAKING A BREAK OFF FROM OUR ONGOING CAMPAIGN FOR 'THE PRICE YOU PAY'!"] "IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND" WAS PLAYED IN A FULL-BAND ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE E STREET BAND (AS OPPOSED TO THE REUNION TOUR'S STRIPPED-DOWN PERFORMANCE), SIMILAR TO THE RECORDED VERSION FROM LUCKY TOWN BUT WITH THE BIG MAN TAKING THE LEAD VOCAL DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE LAST VERSE. THE WERE LOTS OF CHANGES FROM THE HANDWRITTEN SET LIST, WITH "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE" BEING A PARTICULARLY NICE ADDITION. "FROM SMALL THINGS" WAS PLAYED AS A REQUEST FROM NONE OTHER THAN THE BIG MAN! "BORN IN THE U.S.A." WAS ADDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NOW WELL-ESTABLISHED "FIVE-PACK" -- OR LATELY, FOUR-PACK -- AND IT WORKED GREAT. AS ON JULY 7, THE ENCORES WERE PARTICULARILY HOT. FINALLY, OSLO GOT THEIR VERSION OF "TWIST AND SHOUT" AFTER BRUCE PICKED UP A SIGN FROM A FAN SAYING "LET'S WRECK THIS DUMP TOO!" -- REFERRING TO BOTH THIS SONG'S STATUS AS THE "STADIUM WRECKER" AT ULLEVI, SWEDEN, AND TO THE FACT THAT VALLE HOVIN PROBABLY IS THE WORST VENUE IN EUROPE. IT REMINDS ME MORE OF AN OLD PARKING LOT THAN A STADIUM. REGARDLESS OF THE QUALITY OF THE VENUE, THIS SHOW WAS HOT, FINALLY GIVING NORWAY -- THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE BRUCE SELLS MOST RECORDS PER CAPITA -- AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. HAVING BEEN TO FOUR SHOWS IN FIVE DAYS, I’M NOW BEAT, BUT I WISH I COULD CONTINUE FOREVER…

JULY 11 / HELSINKI, FIN / OLYMPIA STADION

A GORGEOUS FRIDAY NIGHT IN HELSINKI FOR THE LAST SHOW ON THE SCANDINAVIAN LEG OF THE TOUR. A SUNNY DAY IN THE MID-70S COOLED DOWN TO MID-60S BY THE TIME THE SHOW BEGAN AT 8 P.M. OLYMPIA STADION IS A WELL-KEPT VENUE BUILT IN THE 1950S, COMPLETE WITH A REAL GRASS FIELD WHICH GAVE THE EVENT A VERY PARK-LIKE FEEL. THE WALK FROM THE CITY CENTER TO THE STADIUM IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE MOST PLEASANT OF ALL OF THE VENUES, A SHORT 15-20 MINUTE STROLL THROUGH A PARK TEEMING WITH GARDENS, PONDS AND PEOPLE HAVING PICNICS, SUNBATHING (YES THEY DO THAT IN FINLAND) AND SOME EVEN ENGAGED IN PRE-SHOW FESTIVITIES. HELSINKI IS A VERY REFINED, CITY AND THE RESERVED CROWD SEEMED TO REFLECT THAT: THERE WASN'T THE RABID PASSION THAT WAS EVIDENT IN, SAY, GOTEBORG, BUT THE AUDIENCE WAS WARM, APPRECIATIVE, AND EVEN POLITE. UNLIKE SWEDEN, FINLAND HASN'T BEEN A REGULAR STOP FOR BRUCE AND THE BAND OVER THE YEARS (MUCH TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF SOME OF THE LOCALS I TALKED TO), SO I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY PARTICULAR EXPECTATION ABOUT THE NIGHT PRIOR TO THE EVENT . AND I CERTAINLY DIDN'T EXPECT A 31-SONG SHOW WITH AN EIGHT-SONG ENCORE, WHICH ENDED A BIT LATER THAN THE 11 P.M. CURFEW THE LOCALS INSISTED HAD TO BE ADHERED TO. HARD TO FIND MANY FAULTS WITH THIS SHOW -- STRONG SET LIST, GOOD ENERGY, AND NEAR PERFECT SOUND. HIGHLIGHTS IN THE MAIN SET WERE THREE "SUMMER SPECIALS": "SUMMERTIME BLUES," "SHERRY DARLING," AND "SANDY." BRUCE COLLECTED SIGNS DURING THE LONG INTRO OF "SUMMERTIME BLUES" AND MADE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT THE SHORT FINLAND SUMMER AND LONG WINTER AND MADE A FUNNY REMARK ABOUT SANTA CLAUS POSSIBLY BEING FROM FINLAND. "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE" WAS A "SMALL" REQUEST WHICH BRUCE HONORED AND WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE. BUT THE NIGHT'S REAL POWER WAS THE THREE-PACK OF "CANDY'S ROOM," "YOUNGSTOWN," AND "MURDER INCORPORATED." WITH "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" NOT IN TONIGHT'S SETLIST, NILS WAS SHOWCASED IN "YOUNGSTOWN" -- PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ONLY ONCE BY BRUCE ON THIS TOUR, SOLO-ACOUSTIC -- AND IT WAS SEARING. "POINT BLANK" WAS ALSO A SURPRISE, A REQUEST FROM SOMEONE WHO BRUCE SAID HAD BEEN "CHASING [HIM] AROUND FOR A WHILE." "BORN IN THE U.S.A." WAS NICELY WEAVED INTO THE FOUR-PACK (NOW FIVE-PACK) TO END THE SET, WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED BY THE LOCALS, AND GARRY W. TALLENT'S BASS WORK WAS EXCEPTIONAL. IT FELT AS THOUGH THERE WERE A SUB-WOOFER BENEATH THE FIELD. AS GOOD AS ALL THIS WAS, IT WASN'T UNTIL THE ENCORE THAT THE LOCALS REALLY SEEMED TO ROCK OUT. AN EIGHT-SONG STUNNER, WHICH DIDN'T END WITH "AMERICAN LAND." AFTER THAT TRADITIONAL CLOSER, BRUCE WENT ON A HUNT FOR A PARTICULAR SIGN HE HAD SEEN EARLIER IN THE NIGHT, FOUND IT, CONTINUED HIS STORY ABOUT SANTA BEING FROM FINLAND, AND THEN THE BAND BROKE INTO A SURPRISE MID-SUMMER VERSION OF "SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN (COMPLETE WITH SOME GREAT HO-HO-HOS FROM CLARENCE) JUST FOR FINLAND. THE LOCALS ATE IT UP, AND THE BAND WASN'T DONE. THEY WENT STRAIGHT INTO "TWIST AND SHOUT" TO CLOSE, AND EVEN THE MOST RESERVED FINNS SEEMED TO BE UP AND DANCING AT THIS POINT. A NICE SCANDINAVIAN SEND-OFF AS THE BAND PACKS UP AND HEADS DOWN TO SPAIN.

JULY 19, 20 CAMP NOU BARCELONA, ESP

SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND WRAPPED UP THEIR EUROPEAN TOUR WITH BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS AT BARCELONA'S ENORMOUS CAMP NOU -- THE LARGEST STADIUM IN EUROPE. EVEN AT THAT SIZE, THE PLACE WAS PACKED, WITH 80,000 TICKETS SOLD PER NIGHT; THAT MADE THINGS SOMEWHAT UNCOMFORTABLE ON THE FLOOR, BUT WITH THE LEVEL OF BRUCE FANATICISM IN SPAIN BEING WHAT IT IS, IT SURELY ONLY ADDED TO THE ATMOSPHERE FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE CROWD. TROND BROENSAD WRITES: "LAST NIGHT WAS MY FIRST SHOW IN SPAIN, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BRUCE PLAY FOR A SPANISH CROWD, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS. THE ENERGY IN THE CROWD IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE -- THEY WERE INTO IT FROM BEGINNING TO END, DANCING IN THE NOSEBLEEDS 200 METERS FROM THE STAGE!" OVER THE TWO NIGHTS, BRUCE AND THE BAND PLAYED A TOTAL OF 43 DIFFERENT SONGS, WITH 15 SONGS COMING OUT FOR THE FINAL NIGHT THAT WEREN'T PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE. NIGHT ONE, ON SATURDAY, WAS A RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD SET, AT LEAST FOR A TOUR THAT'S CONTINUALLY EVOLVING. BROENSAD CONTINUES: "THE SHOW HAS CHANGED OVER THE COURSE OF THIS LEG, AND PATTI'S RETURN IS A FINE ADDITION. THERE WAS LESS FOCUS ON THE REQESTS THAN I SAW EARLIER ON THE TOUR, WITH A LITTLE MORE STRUCTURE IN THE SET. 'BACKSTREETS' AND 'JANEY' WERE BY REQUEST, AND HE REALLY NAILED 'BACKSTREETS.' NO TOUR PREMIERES OR REALLY BIG SURPRISES, BUT WHAT THE HELL. THOSE DON'T MATTER WHEN YOU HEAR REALLY GREAT VERSIONS OF 'BACKSTREETS,' 'JUNGLELAND,' 'TUNNEL OF LOVE' AND 'THE RIVER.' " BY THE END OF THE SHOW A GOOD DEAL OF THE E STREET BAND: THE NEXT GENERATION WERE TWISTING AND SHOUTING ONSTAGE, TOO. FOR SUNDAY NIGHT'S CLOSING SHOW, REPEAT ATTENDEES MIGHT HAVE FELT LIKE THEY WERE WITNESSING A CONTINUATION OF THE NIGHT BEFORE: "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT," OFTEN AN ENCORE SONG, KICKED THINGS OFF, AND OF THE FIRST TWELVE SONGS, ONLY "RADIO NOWHERE" WAS A REPEAT. ANYONE DISAPPOINTED IN SATURDAY NIGHT'S "STANDARD" SETLIST GOT A SLEW OF RARITIES, TOO, INCLUDING THE TOUR PREMIERE OF "I'M GOIN' DOWN," THE SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE OF "LIGHT OF DAY," AND A TRIFECTA OF "THIS HARD LAND," "YOUNGSTOWN," AND "MURDER INCORPORATED." HEARKENING BACK TO THE SHOW-CLOSING COVER-SONG BLOWOUTS OF OLD, BOTH "DETROIT MEDLEY" AND "TWIST AND SHOUT" CAME OUT IN THE ENCORE, AS DID THE YOUNG SPRINGSTEENS ONCE AGAIN, JOINING THEIR FOLKS TO WAVE GOODBYE TO BARCELONA, AND TO THE 2008 EUROPEAN MAGIC TOUR. IT'S BEEN A REMARKABLE TWO MONTHS, WITH BRUCE AND THE BAND QUICKLY GETTING UP TO SPEED ON THE LARGER STADIUM STAGE AND EXPANDING THE SHOW TO MATCH. IN ADDITION TO SONGS TAILOR-MADE FOR THESE BIGGER VENUES, LIKE "HUNGRY HEART" AND "BORN IN THE U.S.A.," THEY BROKE OUT SOME CLASSIC COVERS ("SUMMERTIME BLUES," "TWIST AND SHOUT," "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK") AND LONG-LOST RAVE-UPS ("HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN," "STAND ON IT," "I'M A ROCKER," "FROM SMALL THINGS") AS WELL AS SURPRISE SLOW-BURNERS -- LIKE "DRIVE ALL NIGHT," "I'M ON FIRE," AND "RACING IN THE STREET" -- THAT OVERCAME THE ENORMOUS ENVIRONS TO PLAY INCREDIBLY WELL. HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S OVER SO SOON. BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SAD SONG, WE AIN'T GONNA PLAY IT: IN JUST ONE WEEK, THE SUMMER U.S. LEG BEGINS -- AND FOR A FEW SHOWS, THE OUTDOOR VENUES CONTINUE -- WITH BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND'S HOMECOMING STAND AT GIANTS STADIUM KICKING OFF ON SUNDAY NIGHT, JULY 27.

JULY 27 GIANTS STADIUM E. RUTHERFORD, NJ

NOTES: JUST ONE WEEK AFTER WRAPPING UP THEIR TWO-MONTH EUROPEAN TOUR, BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND ARE BACK IN THE U.S.A. AND KICKING OFF A HOMECOMING STAND IN NEW JERSEY. THIS FIRST OF THREE SHOWS AT GIANTS STADIUM (AND FIRST U.S. OUTDOOR SHOW OF THE TOUR) FOUND THEM PICKING UP RIGHT WHERE THEY LEFT OFF A WEEK AGO, WITH A LOOSEY-GOOSEY SETLIST, SIGNS COLLECTED AND REQUESTS GRANTED, DIMINISHED EMPHASIS ON MAGIC MATERIAL BUT A CONSIDERABLY LONGER SET THAN LAST TIME THEY WERE ON THESE SHORES. THEY PLAYED 30 SONGS ON THIS OPENING NIGHT, SHOOTING WELL PAST THE THREE-HOUR MARK. THE SHOW OPENED APPROPRIATELY WITH THE RETELLING OF THE LEGEND OF THE E STREET BAND, "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT." LOTS OF DEDICATIONS, INCLUDING "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART" FOR "MY FRIEND JANE," AND "GROWIN' UP" FOR A TEN-YEAR-OLD SIGN-HOLDER NAMED ROSIE. "THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN A QUARTER-CENTURY BEFORE YOU WERE BORN," BRUCE TOLD ROSIE, "IT MUST BE GOOD -- YOUR DADDY WAS A WINK IN HIS MAMA'S EYE!" AND LATER IN THE SONG, HE ADDED, "THERE YOU WERE: A LITTLE EGG INSIDE A LITTLE EGG INSIDE A LITTLE EGG...." "MARY'S PLACE" WAS "FOR MY FRIEND WAYNE MYERS, WHO HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT HOW TO GET THERE," BRUCE SAID, "THANK YOU, DR. WAYNE!" COMPLETE WITH KNEE-SLIDE AND AN EXTENDED PREACHER RAP (INCLUDING CLARENCE IN ED MCMAHON MODE, ECHOING SPRINGSTEEN'S OFFERED WISDOM), "MARY'S PLACE" STRETCHED OUT TO 14 MINUTES, AND THAT'S EVEN WITHOUT BAND INTRODUCTIONS. AFTER REJOINING THE BAND FOR THE FOUR SHOWS IN SPAIN, PATTI SCIALFA WAS WITH US AGAIN TONIGHT, BRINGING OUT "BRILLIANT DISGUISE" AND "TUNNEL OF LOVE." HER HUSBAND GAVE HER A QUICK PECK AFTER "BRILLIANT DISGUISE," EXPLAINING, "I DIDN'T WANT TO MESS UP THAT MAKEUP." TO OPEN THE ENCORE, BRUCE DECIDED TO SEND ONE OUT TO "ONE SPECIAL JERSEY GIRL," WHICH HAD SOME EAGERLY ANTICIPATING A CERTAIN TOM WAITS COVER... BUT JUST FOR A SEC, BEFORE HE WENT INTO, OF COURSE, "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES." AFTER "AMERICAN LAND," AND AFTER MAKING LIKE HE WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT, BRUCE CAME BACK TO THE MIC AND TOLD THE CROWD, "YOU AIN'T GOT IT." HE CONTINUED EGGING THE CROWD ON -- "YOU AIN'T GOT IT. I STILL GOT IT... YOU AIN'T GOT IT" -- BEFORE FINALLY FINDING THEM UP TO THE CHALLENGE: "OH YEAH? LET'S GET IT ON!" NO TWISTING AND SHOUTING TONIGHT, THAT'S BEEN LEFT IN EUROPE FOR THE TIME BEING -- INSTEAD, "ROSALITA" CAME OUT TO JUMP. "A TRUE FAIRY TALE TO OPEN THE SHOW," BRUCE DECLARED, "AND A TRUE FAIRY TALE TO CLOSE THE SHOW."

JULY 28 GIANTS STADIUM E. RUTHERFORD, NJ

NIGHT TWO AT GIANTS STADIUM, AND ANOTHER SHOW TO CRACK THE THREE-HOUR MARK, AT 28 SONGS. WELL, 29, IF YOU COUNT "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" -- MORE ON THAT IN A SEC. IN ALL, IT WAS A MORE FUN, UPBEAT SHOW THAN OPENING NIGHT, WITH LOTS OF GOOFING AROUND FROM BRUCE. EVERYONE WAS ON TOP OF THEIR GAME, WITH SOME CHOICE RARITIES AND SOME SPECIAL GUESTS, TOO. DURING "SUMMERTIME BLUES" BRUCE BEGAN THE NIGHTLY SIGN COLLECTION -- "SEND 'EM DOWN!" HE CHANTED. FLIPPING THROUGH THEM AFTER "TUNNEL," HE FOUND ONE TO HIS LIKING, FOR A SONG PREVIOUSLY ONLY PLAYED TWICE EVER: "HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN." "THAT'S A GOOD SIGN FOR STEVE," HE SAID, CACKLING, AND WENT ON: "I'M GONNA DEDICATE THIS TO WHAT IT COST YOU GUYS TO DRIVE HERE! WE'RE GETTING SCREWED SOMEHOW... THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN IN 1980 -- AND IT WAS PROPHETIC." AFTER BLASTING THROUGH ALL TWO MINUTES OF IT, BRUCE HOLLERED, "GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY! THAT SAID IT ALL!"

BUT THERE WERE MORE GOODIES TO COME -- "SAINT IN THE CITY" WAS NEXT, AND WITH SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE KEY, IT VEERED DANGEROUSLY TOWARD TRAIN-WRECK TERRITORY... BEFORE BRUCE AND STEVE SHREDDED ON AN AMAZING GUITAR DUEL THAT SALVAGED IT ALL AND THEN SOME. AS FOR GUITAR-WORK, NILS HAD A GREAT NIGHT TOO -- MOST ASTOUNDINGLY, PULLING OFF A FORWARD SOMERSAULT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" SOLO, PLAYING STRAIGHT THROUGH. SOME INTRA-FAMILY DEDICATIONS, AS "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" WENT OUT TO SAM AND EVELYN -- "THAT'S FOR MY BOY," BRUCE REITERATED AT THE END. AFTER "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" MADE ITS U.S. TOUR DEBUT, AN OCCASION IN AND OF ITSELF, BRUCE ADDED ANOTHER DEDICATION, TURNING TO PATTI TO SAY, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE." TO START THE ENCORE HE ENCOURAGED A SERENADE, SAYING, "TOMORROW'S MY BABY'S BIRTHDAY, SO GO RIGHT AHEAD..." THE 50,000-STRONG NEW JERSEY CROWD OFFERED UP A WEAK RENDITION OF "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." "THAT'S TERRIBLE!" BRUCE SAID, AND SO HE SANG IT HIMSELF AS THE BAND JOINED IN TO PLAY ALONG. ON THE "GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" THAT FOLLOWED, BRUCE CAME DOWN TO SING AND DANCE WITH DAUGHTER JESSICA, TOO. "DETROIT MEDLEY" ALWAYS ROCKS THE HOUSE, BUT THE REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENCORE WAS WHEN BRUCE SAID "WE'VE GOT THE NEXT GENERATION!" AND WELCOMED MAX'S SON, JAY WEINBERG, WHO TOOK OVER THE KIT FOR "BORN TO RUN." MIGHTY AMBITIOUS, YOU MIGHT THINK... BUT MIGHTY SEEMS TO RUN IN THE FAMILY. JAY KICKED ASS -- HE'S GOT THE POWER, AND MAX LOOKED ON WITH PRIDE. ONE MORE AFTER "AMERICAN LAND" ("I DON'T WANNA HURT NOBODY -- I WANT EVERYONE TO GO HOME HAPPY!"), AND TONIGHT IT WAS THE STADIUM-WRECKER, "TWIST AND SHOUT." JESSE MALIN AND MARAH'S DAVE BIELANKO CAME ON STAGE FOR THE SHOW-CLOSER, AND THE BIRTHDAY GIRL WAS JOINED AT THE MIC BY JESSICA AND SOME OF HER FRIENDS. GARRY'S DAUGHTER WAS UP THERE, TOO -- DEFINITELY FAMILIY AND FRIENDS NIGHT AT GIANTS STADIUM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PATTI!

JULY 31 / E. RUTHERFORD, NJ / GIANTS STADIUM

NOTES: WOW -- WHEN'S THE LAST TIME A U.S. SHOW WENT PAST MIDNIGHT, LET ALONE UNTIL 12:45? GRANTED, THE FINAL JERSEY SHOW DIDN'T START UNTIL 9:30, THANKS TO A HIGHWAY (SPECIFICALLY, THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, EXIT 16W) JAMMED UP WITH A BROKEN TANKER TRUCK. THEY DELAYED SHOWTIME TO ACCOMODATE THE HORRENDOUS TRAFFIC, FINALLY PLAYING TO WHAT APPEARED TO BE A FUIL HOUSE (THOUGH SOME FANS WERE STILL ARRIVING AS LATE AS "LIVIN' IN THE FUTURE)." IN ANY CASE, KUDOS TO BRUCE AND THE BAND FOR DELIVERING A THRILLING, THREE-AND-A-QUARTER-HOUR SHOW, BACK UP TO 30 SONGS AGAIN, GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND IN TERMS OF LENGTH AND ENERGY DESPITE THE LATE START -- AND DESPITE THE HEAT! GIANTS STADIUM WAS AN OVEN LAST NIGHT, HOT AND HUMID, LEADING TO WHAT BRUCE CALLED A "JERSEY BAPTISM" IN "MARY'S PLACE," AS HE SPONGED WATER ONTO THE CROWD "IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND ELVIS!" APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, FOR BOTH THE HEAT AND THE TRAFFIC, BRUCE BEGAN THE SHOW WITH "SUMMERTIME BLUES." THAT ONE HAD BEEN THE SIGN-COLLECTION SONG AT THE PREVIOUS TWO GIANTS SHOWS; NOW "LIGHT OF DAY" FILLED THAT SLOT, WITH BRUCE GATHERING REQUESTS AS MAX POUNDED OUT AN EXTENDED INTRO. THE SIGNS BROUGHT SOME CLASSIC EARLY MATERIAL TO THE SET, BUT FIRST BRUCE HAD HIS OWN IDEA: AN IMPROMPTU "PRETTY FLAMINGO," LAST PLAYED IN THIS VERY VENUE ON THE RISING TOUR FIVE YEARS AGO (AND ONLY ITS THIRD PERFORMANCE SINDE 1978). AS SPRINGSTEEN STRUMMED THE CHORDS, REFRESHING HIMSELF AND THE BAND, HE TOLD THE CROWD THAT IT WAS "JUST PATTI'S BIRTHDAY A FEW DAYS AGO," AND BEGAN RUMINATING ON THEIR HISTORY TOGETHER. "I FIRST MET HER WHEN I WAS 20 AND SHE WAS 17," HE SAID. AND THEN AGAIN WHEN HE WAS 24 AND SHE WAS 21... AND AGAIN WHEN HE WAS 35. "IN THE MEANTIME," HE SAID, "SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME." AS HE WENT ON TO TALK ABOUT CLARENCE'S UPCOMING WEDDING (JUST A WEEK AWAY!), IT WAS CLEAR THAT HE MEANT HE HAD GOTTEN HITCHED, SAYING THAT BOTH THE BIG MAN AND HIMSELF HAD BEEN MARRIED BEFORE. "BUT CLARENCE MORE THAN ME!" HE ADDED, "CLARENCE IS GETTING IT RIGHT THIS TIME," BEFORE SUMMING IT ALL UP: "SO I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT." TAKING THE BAND THROUGH THE MANFRED MANN SONG, IT WAS A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE ALL THE MORE IMPRESSIVE FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY UNREHEARSED. "BRIDGE!" BRUCE CALLED OUT, TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL STAYED TOGETHER. BACK TO THOSE SIGNS: "INCIDENT" WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET A PLAY, THANKS TO A SIGN REQUESTING IT "FOR YOUR OLD, BALD FANS" -- "SEEMS TO BE PARTICULAR!" BRUCE LAUGHED -- WHEN ANOTHER SIGN CAUGHT HIS EYE. "GIVE THAT ONE TO ME," HE SAID, POINTING TO A PLACARD FOR "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT." "WE'LL DO THAT ONE NOW, AND WE'LL DO THE OTHER ONE NEXT." (AND HEY, THAT MAKES FOR TWO MANFRED MANN HITS IN THE SAME SHOW!) AFTER "BLINDED," THOUGH, SPRINGSTEEN OPTED TO KEEP THE TEMPO QUICK, GOING INTO A POWERHOUSE PACK OF "CADILLAC RANCH," "CANDY'S ROOM," NIGHT," AND "BECAUSE THE NIGHT" -- THE LAST OF THESE FEATURING ANOTHER SOMERSAULTING SOLO FROM NILS. WHILE THAT FORWARD ROLL MAY HAVE BEEN LESS OF A SURPRISE THIS TIME, NILS HAVING DONE THE TRICK BEFORE, IT WAS NO LESS SHOCKING -- HOW THE HELL DOES HE DO THAT AND KEEP ON PLAYING? AND AFTER THE DRAWN-OUT "MARY'S PLACE," BRUCE FINALLY MADE GOOD ON HIS EARLIER PROMISE, AS THE STRAINS OF "INCIDENT" FILLED THE STADIUM -- "FOR YOU OLD, BALD FANS." A HIGH-ENERGY ENCORE OPENED WITH "JUNGLELAND," CLARENCE SHINING ON THE SOLO; STEVE HAMMED IT UP GOOD ON "DANCING IN THE DARK" AS HE AND BRUCE STRUCK A TANGO POSE. STEVE, IT SHOULD BE SAID, HAS BEEN REALLY INTO IT ON THIS STAND, LOOKING LIKE HE'S HAVING A BLAST (AND EVER-CONSIDERATE, HANDING OUT BOTTLES OF WATER TO OVERHEATED FANS, TOO). FOR "AMERICAN LAND," THE E STREETERS WERE JOINED BY THREE SESSIONS BAND PLAYERS: JEREMY CHATZKY ON STAND-UP BASS, SAM BARDFELD ON FIDDLE, AND CURTIS KING, SHARING A VOCAL MIC WITH PATTI. OF COURSE, IF YOU THOUGHT "AMERICAN LAND" WOULD BE THE LAST SONG ON THIS NIGHT, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. TWO MORE SONGS, THOUGH? WELL, THAT'S A CLOSING NIGHT SPECIAL. FIRST UP WAS THE LONG-AWAITED "JERSEY GIRL" (YOU KNEW IT HAD TO COME OUT HERE, RIGHT?) PLAYED FOR A FANCY TWO-PART SIGN AND DEDICATED TO BRUCE'S MOM. "SHE'S HERE TONIGHT," HE SAID, "SHE'S WORKING THE CONCESSION STAND." THE FULL-BAND RENDITION OF THE TOM WAITS CLASSIC IS ALWAYS A SPECIAL MOMENT, AND HERE IT WAS LIKE RELIVING THE VERSION FROM THE LIVE/1975-'85 BOX SET, WITH CHEERS FROM THE CROWD COMING AT THE SAME PLACES AS ON THE '81 RECORDING. AND FINALLY, BRUCE AND THE BAND CLOSED OUT THEIR HOMECOMING STAND WITH "ROSALITA," ONE MORE "FAIRYTALE" TO SEND FANS HOME HAPPY, WELL AFTER COACHES HAD TURNED INTO PUMPKINS.

AUG 2 GILLETTE STADIUM FOXBOROUGH, MA

NOTES: ANOTHER U.S. CONCERT GOES INTO THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, WITH THE GILLETTE STADIUM SHOW NOT STARTING UNTIL 9:20, AGAIN WITH "SUMMERTIME BLUES." WEATHER, NOT TRAFFIC, WAS THE CULPRIT THIS TIME, WITH A MASSIVE THUNDERSTORM DRENCHING THE SURROUNDINGS -- BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD, "WE WERE DODGING LIGHTNING BOLTS COMING UP HERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF!" BUT AFTER DELAYING THE START UNTIL ONE LAST DOWNPOUR WAS THROUGH, THERE WAS NO RAIN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE SHOW (UNLESS YOU COUNT WATER RUNNING OFF THE STAGE ROOF INTO THE PIT). AND AS BRUCE SAID AFTER "SPIRIT," "I THINK A LITTLE RAIN AGREES WITH YOU GUYS." IT WAS A SHORTER SHOW COMPARED TO THE THREE NIGHTS IN JERSEY, NOT QUITE CRACKING THE THREE-HOUR MARK, AND JUDGING BY THE CROSS-OFFS ON THE HANDWRITTEN SETLIST (INCLUDING AN UNPLAYED "RACING IN THE STREET" AFTER "MARY'S PLACE"), IT SEEMED BRUCE HAD TO PUT SOME EFFORT INTO HOW TO TRIM THE SHOW A BIT. BUT THEY STILL BLEW WAY PAST GILLETTE'S 11:00 CURFEW, ROCKING "ROSALITA" UNTIL TEN PAST 12. IN BETWEEN, IT WAS ANOTHER PARTY SHOW -- ALL RELEASE, LITTLE TENSION -- WITH EVEN MORE GRANTED REQUESTS THAN USUAL BRINGING A PAIR OF TOUR-DEBUT COVERS AND MORE RARITIES TO SET THIS NIGHT APART. THE BIGGEST MIND-BLOWER CAME AFTER "TUNNEL OF LOVE," AS SPRINGSTEEN GATHERED A HEAP OF SIGNS AND COMPLIMENTED THEIR "PROFESSIONALISM." ONE IN PARTICULAR MADE HIM CHUCKLE: "THE BAND WILL NOT BE READY FOR THIS ONE... OH, THEY WILL NOT BE READY!" IT WAS "LITTLE LATIN LUPE LU," A SONG THEY'VE ONLY DONE A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE THE '70S -- AND AS OPPOSED TO SOME SIGN REQUESTS THAT PROBABLY WOULD GET PLAYED ANYWAY, THERE'S NO WAY BRUCE WOULD HAVE CALLED THIS ONE UP OTHERWISE. BUT IT SEEMED THE BAND WAS READY AFTER ALL, THE SONG SOUNDED GREAT -- AND THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THE SIGN SURE DIDN'T HURT BRUCE'S PERFORMANCE. AS HE POINTED OUT, THE SIGN HAD THE "LUPE LU" LYRICS PRINTED ON THE BACK (IN A BRUCE HANDWRITING FONT, NO LESS) WITH "KEY OF F" WRITTEN AT THE TOP. "THAT'S APPRECIATED!" HE LAUGHED, AND HE WASN'T KIDDING -- HE MADE SURE TO HAVE THE WORDS WHERE HE COULD SEE. THE REQUESTS KEPT COMING, AS "DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET" (ITS SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE) AND "HUNGRY HEART" FOLLOWED, AND THEN IT WAS ANOTHER COVER SPECIAL FOR THE OCCASION. NOT "DIRTY WATER" -- THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY OF THAT ON THE GROUND -- BUT ANOTHER ONE ALMOST AS FORESEEABLE: "WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN." BRUCE PLAYED THIS ONE FOR BILL BELICHICK: "THIS IS FOR THE COACH. HE'S OUT THERE TONIGHT. HE DIDN'T BRING A SIGN, THOUGH!" UNUSUALLY, BRUCE GATHERED MORE SIGNS AS THE ENCORE BEGAN, AND KICKED IT OFF WITH ANOTHER FAN CHOICE: "WE HAVE HERE THE RARELY PLAYED AND EVEN MORE RARELY REQUESTED..." AND HE TURNED THE SIGN AROUND TO REVEAL "I'M GOIN' DOWN." THAT WAS ANOTHER SECOND TOUR PERFORMANCE, GOING INTO "JUNGLELAND," BY REQUEST FOR A BIRTHDAY IN THE CROWD. THINKING OF NEARBY BOSTON, BRUCE ASKED BEFORE "AMERICAN LAND," "DO WE HAVE ANY IRISHMEN OUT THERE?" THE TEPID RESPONSE MUST HAVE REMINDED HIM THAT THIS WASN'T BOSTON, THOUGH, AS AT THE END OF THE SONG HE HOLLERED, "BOSTON! MASSACHUSSETS! RHODE ISLAND! CONNECTICUT! WHEREVER THE FUCK WE ARE! YOU'VE JUST SEEN..." AND ON THIS NIGHT, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LATE, BUT YOU COULD ADD RAIN-STOPPIN' E STREET BAND TO THE LIST.

AUGUST 15 / JACKSONVILLE, FL / VETERANS MEMORIAL ARENA

THE MAGIC TOUR COMES BACK INSIDE BUT THE OPEN-AIR FEEL CONTINUES, WITH THIS ARENA SHOW A CONTINUATION OF THE TOUR'S SUMMER EVOLUTION. AS AT THE STADIUMS, BRUCE AND THE BAND WERE OFTEN FLYING BY THE SEAT OF THEIR PANTS, TAKING REQUESTS BY SIGN, PLAYING ONLY A HANDFUL OF MAGIC SONGS (FOR BETTER OR WORSE), BREAKING OUT "ROSALITA" AND OTHER RECENT BIG-STAGE BARN-BURNERS LIKE "YOUNGSTOWN" AND "MURDER INC.," FOR A SHOW THAT HIT THREE HOURS ON THE NOSE. TONIGHT'S SIGN COLLECTION CAME AFTER "SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT," AND THE FIRST REQUEST WAS A REACH-BACK COVER RIGHT UP THERE WITH "LITTLE LATIN LUPE LU": "YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN." BRUCE POINTED TO THE SIGN BEHIND THE STAGE, AND THE BAND DEFTLY TACKLED IT COLD. AN INTERMITTENT ENCORE TREAT IN THE LATE '70S AND SOMETIMES MEDLEYED IN '81, THE LAST TIME THEY EVEN TOUCHED THIS ONE WAS NEARLY A DECADE AGO, WHEN THEY WORKED A BIT OF IT INTO "LIGHT OF DAY" MIDWAY THROUGH THE REUNION TOUR IN PHILLY. AND JUST AS PHILLY WAS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO BREAK IT OUT (THE PHILADELPHIA-BASED DOVELLS TOOK THE SONG TO #3 IN 1963), THE SUNSHINE STATE IS A FITTING PLACE FOR IT, TOO: STEVE VAN ZANDT PLAYED WITH THE DOVELLS IN THE '70S ON THE FLORIDA OLDIES CIRCUIT, PICKING UP THE NICKNAME "MIAMI STEVE" IN THE PROCESS. "DOES THIS BUS STOP" AND "CANDY'S ROOM" WERE BOTH PLAYED FOR SIGNS, AND THEN BRUCE HAD A FINE CHOICE OF HIS OWN, THE RARE "LOOSE ENDS." AFTER A 14-MINUTE "MARY'S PLACE" (ANOTHER HOLDOVER FROM THE STADIUM LEG), WE GOT A SECOND TOUR PREMIERE AS BRUCE POINTED TO A SIGN FOR "BACK IN YOUR ARMS." THIS ONE HAD BEEN SOUNDCHECKED EARLIER IN THE DAY, BRUCE LIKELY ALREADY HAVING IT IN MIND TO SEND OUT TO JERRY WEXLER, WHO DIED EARLY THIS MORNING. "ONE OF THE GREAT SOUL MEN," AS SPRINGSTEEN CALLED HIM IN HIS DEDICATION, WEXLER WAS AN OWNER AT ATLANTIC RECORDS, PRODUCING GREATS LIKE ARETHA FRANKLIN AND RAY CHARLES, AND COINING THE TERM "RHYTHM & BLUES." IT WAS A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE, WITH A SWEET SOLO FROM CLARENCE AT THE END. MORE REQUESTS IN THE ENCORE: "WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY" FOR A LITTLE GIRL'S SIGN (HE AUTOGRAPHED IT FOR HER MID-SONG), AND "GLORY DAYS" FOR AN IRAQ WAR VETERAN'S FIRST SHOW. AND AFTER "AMERICAN LAND," THERE WAS THE NOW-TRADITIONAL ONE MORE: THIS TIME IT WAS A SMOKIN' "KITTY'S BACK," WHICH DID NOT GET STADIUM PLAY... THAT ALONE SHOWING THE BENEFIT OF BEING BACK INSIDE. NO PATTI TONIGHT, AND UNUSUALLY, NO "PROMISED LAND," EITHER; PAT RILEY WAS IN THE PIT.

AUGUST 16 / CHARLESTON, SC / NORTH CHARLESTON COLISEUM

NOTES: SPRINGSTEEN AND THE BAND'S FIRST VISIT TO CHARLESTON SINCE THE DARKNESS TOUR -- LAST STOP HERE WAS AUGUST 1, 1978 AT GAILLARD AUDITORIUM. BACK IN THE LOWCOUNTRY AGAIN AFTER 30 YEARS, THEY PULL OUT YET ANOTHER COVER FROM THE OLD DAYS, FOLLOWING UP THE PREVIOUS TWO SHOWS' "LITTLE LATIN LUPE LU" AND "YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN" WITH TONIGHT'S OPENER, "DOUBLE SHOT (OF MY BABY'S LOVE)." "LET'S START OFF WITH A LITTLE BEACH MUSIC," BRUCE SAID, AND THIS WAS INDEED A LOCAL SPECIAL: THE GREENWOOD, SC-BASED SWINGIN' MEDALLIONS HAD A #17 HIT WITH THE SONG IN 1966. (WHAT'S NEXT, "MOUNTAIN OF LOVE"? "THEN SHE KISSED ME"? KEEP THOSE SIGNS COMIN'!) SURELY AWARE OF THEIR LONG ABSENCE FROM THESE PARTS, BRUCE AND THE BAND REALLY TURNED IT ON AND, FRANKLY, PLAYED THEIR ASSES OFF -- AND THE ENERGY ONSTAGE WAS MATCHED BY THE THUNDEROUS AUDIENCE, CLEARLY VERY APPRECIATIVE OF GETTING BRUCE BACK. FROM THE BEGINNING, GREETING THE BAND WITH A ROAR TO RIVAL ANY EUROPEAN AUDIENCE, THIS WAS, AS BRUCE DECLARED A COUPLE OF TIMES, A "GREAT, GREAT CROWD." THE SHOW WAS FULL OF REQUESTS AND AUDIBLES, INCLUDING "TWO HEARTS" EARLY IN THE PROCEEDINGS. SIGNS TONIGHT BROUGHT US "LIGHT OF DAY," "GROWIN' UP," AND "JANEY, DON'T YOU LOSE HEART," THEN IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY, "NO SURRENDER," AS A SIGN CALLED FOR SPRINGSTEEN TO "PLAY WANT YOU WANT!" THE "ATLANTIC CITY" THAT FOLLOWED WAS FOR A SIGN, TOO. ONE OF THE FEW TIMES THE CROWD FLAGGED WAS DURING "JANEY" -- GRANTED, THE TEMPO WAS OFF, IT WAS A SLOW VERSION, BUT THOUGH IT WAS A TREAT FOR THE HARDCORES, IT READ AS A HEADSCRATCHER FOR THE CROWD AS A WHOLE. WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR BRUCE DROPPING "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" AND CALLING FOR "HUNGRY HEART" AFTER "MARY'S PLACE" INSTEAD. OPENING THE ENCORE WAS A VERY RARE (ONLY THE SECOND TIME ON THIS TOUR) "STREETS OF FIRE" -- A SEARING VERSION AND A REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW, THANKS AGAIN TO A SIGN. "JUNGLELAND" WAS AN AUDIBLE IN PLACE OF "THUNDER ROAD" -- BRUCE BLEW THE WORDS, BUT NO MATTER, THE CROWD ATE IT ALL UP, FROM THE CAROLINA BEACH MUSIC OPENER TO THE "TWIST AND SHOUT" BY REQUEST THAT CLOSED THE SHOW. AS SPRINGSTEEN SAID, ""WE NEED TO COME BACK MORE OFTEN!"

AUGUST 18 / RICHMOND, VA / RICHMOND COLISEUM

NOTES: BRUCE TO BACKSTREETS IN 2007, WHEN ASKED ABOUT "THE PRICE YOU PAY": "IT'S BECOME A THING JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T PLAYED IT. IF I HAD PLAYED IT, NOBODY WOULD GIVE MUCH OF A DAMN IF THEY HEARD IT OR NOT! JUST BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN PLAYED.... MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE PLAYED 'CRUSH ON YOU.' AND I'M NOT SURE THAT ONE'S GOING TO BE POPPING UP IN THE SET ANY TIME SOON, EITHER, YOU KNOW?" TONIGHT, SPRINGSTEEN BREAKS A 28-YEAR STREAK -- NOT WITH "THE PRICE YOU PAY," BUT WITH THE FIRST "CRUSH ON YOU" SINCE DECEMBER 16, 1980. "CRUSH" WAS PLAYED FREQUENTLY ON THE 1980 LEG OF THE RIVER TOUR, BUT NEVER AGAIN... UNTIL TONIGHT. REACTING TO A SIGN, BRUCE HIMSELF SEEMINGLY COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY WERE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO PLAY IT. STEVE EVEN MORE SO, FROM THE LOOK OF HIM. "WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS THE WORST SONG WE EVER PUT ON A RECORD," BRUCE LAUGHED, ALSO REVEALING THAT HE TOOK THE RIFF FROM THE CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU? THEME. STILL, BUTT OF JOKES THOUGH IT MAY BE, IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOLY-SHIT MOMENTS OF THE TOUR TO DATE, KICKING OFF THE ENCORE WITH A BLAST OF ENERGY. ON ONE HAND, IT'S A THROWAWAY RIVER ROCKER... ON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S... A THROWAWAY RIVER ROCKER! THE PERFECT KIND OF THING (AS "RAMROD" HAS LONG SHOWN) FOR ENCORE TIME. THE ONLY THING WE LIKE BETTER IS SOME VINTAGE ROCK 'N' ROLL, LIKE, YOU KNOW, "QUARTER TO THREE." YEP, THE GARY U.S. BANDS CLASSIC WAS NEXT (LAST PLAYED AT SHEA IN 2003), AS THE NIGHTLY E STREET BAND-AS-COVER-BAND HISTORY LESSON CONTINUES -- WITH "TWIST AND SHOUT" CLOSING THE EIGHT-SONG ENCORE TO BOOT. LOCAL BOY ROBBIN THOMPSON, BRUCE'S STEEL MILL BANDMATE, GUESTED FOR THIS FINAL SONG OF THE NIGHT. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THEY SAVED ALL THE GOOD STUFF FOR THE END. IN A VERY SOLID MAIN SET, A SIGN THAT READ "MY BAND JUST BROKE UP -- PLEASE PLAY 'BACKSTREETS'!" BROUGHT US THE MAJESTIC '75 EPIC, WHICH LED INTO A RARE SOLO READING OF "FOR YOU." SITTING AT THE PIANO, BRUCE INTRODUCED IT WITH SOME MEMORIES OF RICHMOND, "AN ESSENTIAL AUDIENCE THAT ALLOWED US TO GET OUT OF TOWN," AND DEDICATED IT IN PARTICULAR TO OLD FRIEND RUSS CLEM, WHO ALWAYS INTRODUCED STEEL MILL AT THEIR RICHMOND SHOWS. A WELCOME RETURN FROM THE MAGIC RECORD, "I'LL WORK FOR YOUR LOVE," WAS IN PART A CELEBRATION OF CLARENCE -- "THE BIG MAN JUST GOT MARRIED!" -- WHO RAISED HIS ARMS VICTORIOUSLY. "THE PROMISED LAND," THOUGH SETLISTED, GOT A NEEDED REST FOR THE THIRD SHOW RUNNING. IN ALL, 13 SONGS NOT PERFORMED AT THE PREVIOUS SHOW IN CHARLESTON, ALSO INCLUDING "CADILLAC RANCH" AND, PREVIOUSLY PLAYED ONLY IN AMSTERDAM ON THIS TOUR, "STAND ON IT." "THIS IS A LITTLE OBSCURE," BRUCE SAID TO INTRODUCE THE LATTER, "BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE!" WITH ONLY FIVE SHOWS LEFT ON THE TOUR, AIN'T IT NICE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE?

AUGUST 19 / HERSHEY, PA / HERSHEYPARK STADIUM

NOTES: ONCE AGAIN, IT'S E STREET BAND AL FRESCO. AND IT'S NOT LIKE THEY HAD REALLY SCALED BACK PERFORMANCE-WISE IN THE ARENAS, BUT TONIGHT AT HERSHEYPARK STADIUM IT WAS DECIDEDLY A STADIUM-SIZED SHOW. THREE HOURS AND 29 SONGS, WITH A POWERHOUSE EIGHT-SONG ENCORE, AND AN EMPHASIS ON CONFECTIONS LIKE "DARLINGTON COUNTY," "SUNNY DAY," AND "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY," WHICH BRUCE PERFORMED OUT AT THE END OF THE CENTER STAGE THRUST. THOSE WHO EXPECTED LOCALE-SPECIFIC TREATS MAY HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED -- NOT EVEN "CANDY'S ROOM," LET ALONE "GIVE THE GIRL A KISS," "I WANT CANDY," "SUGAR SUGAR" OR "CANDY MAN." SPRINGSTEEN PULLED A SIGN FOR "GIVE THE GIRL A KISS" AS PART OF THE NIGHTLY COLLECTION, BUT OTHERWISE, NO APPARENT SENSE OF THE OCCASION FOR THE BOSS. INSTEAD, THE HERSHEY SHOW WAS A COVER-FEST: COVER SONGS OPENED AND CLOSED (AS IN CHARLESTON), WITH A TOTAL OF FOUR IN THE SET -- TWO OF THEM TOUR PREMIERES. FIRST UP WAS "SUMMERTIME BLUES" TO OPEN. THE NEXT ONE WAS A TOUR PREMIERE FROM THE SIGN COLLECTION -- "OH MY GOD.... WE'VE CREATED A MONSTER!" SAID BRUCE, FACED WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF SIGNS, AND HE GAVE LITTLE STEVEN FIRST CHOICE. "PICK ONE, STEVE! WE'RE GOING WITH OBSCURITY... START WITH OBSCURITY..." AND STEVEN OPTED FOR JOHN LEE HOOKER'S "BOOM BOOM." ("APPEARS HASTILY ASSEMBLED," BRUCE SAID OF THE SIGN, WRITTEN ON A BOX LID -- WITH THE EVEN MORE LONGSHOT "LONDON CALLING" ON THE REVERSE.) STEVE ALSO PICKED "DARLINGTON," WHICH FOLLOWED -- WHAT, NO SIGNS FOR "HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN"? TWO MORE COVERS CAME IN THE ENCORE: "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" HAD ITS FIRST U.S. AIRING ON THE TOUR, WITH GARRY STEPPING UP TO SING ALONG INTO STEVE'S MIC, AND THE TOUR PREMIERE OF THEM'S "GLORIA" WAS A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT TO CLOSE THE SHOW. "LET'S TAKE IT BACK TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED!" BRUCE HOLLERED, BRINGING UP JOE AND JOHNNY GRUSHECKY TO JAM ALONG. ANOTHER TOUR PREMIERE WAS "PART MAN, PART MONKEY" BY REQUEST, JOINING "BOOM BOOM" TO RECALL THE TUNNEL OF LOVE EXPRESS TOUR. AND DID I SAY THERE WAS LOCAL FLAVOR? WELL, NOT OF THE CHOCOLATE VARIETY -- BUT JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE HOME OF THE "SCOPES 2" TRIAL, BRUCE SENT THIS ONE OUT TO "THE DOVER PARENTS, AND GOOD SCIENCE EDUCATION." "WE DON'T KNOW THIS ONE," HE SAID (THOUGH 20 YEARS AGO, THEY WERE PLAYING IT PRACTICALLY EVERY NIGHT), "SEE IF THE BAND CAN GET IT." THEY GOT IT, JUST AS THEY'VE GOTTEN EVERY OTHER CURVEBALL BRUCE AND THE SIGNS HAVE THROWN THEIR WAY. LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY.

AUGUST 21 / NASHVILLE, TN / SOMMET CENTER

NOTES: NASHVILLE WAS ALL ABOUT GOING THE EXTRA MILE. WHY JUST DO "SHE'S THE ONE" WHEN YOU CAN ADD THE "MONA" INTRO? ("MONA"/"SHE'S THE ONE" WAS LAST PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1981, AND EVEN THAT WAS ITS ONLY PERFORMANCE ON THE RIVER TOUR.) WHY JUST DO "I'M ON FIRE" WHEN YOU CAN LEAD INTO IT WITH A BIT OF "I WALK THE LINE"? (WITH THE SOMMET CENTER RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME, SPRINGSTEEN PAID TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH WITH AN IMPROMPTU VERSE OF THE MAN IN BLACK'S TRADEMARK TUNE. WITH BRUCE ON VOCALS AND NILS ON GUITAR, THE ONLY POSSIBLE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MAGICAL MOMENT WAS THAT IT WAS TOO SHORT.) WHY JUST DO "GROWIN' UP" WHEN YOU CAN INCLUDE ONE OF THOSE LONG-LOVED AND MUCH-MISSED STORIES IN THE TRADITIONAL SPOT? (BRUCE WAS OBLIGING A SIGN THAT READ, "PLAY GROWIN' UP... AND TELL US A STORY ABOUT THAT GOD DAMN GUITAR!") JOE STRUMMER'S BIRTHDAY? LET'S DO "I FOUGHT THE LAW." IT'S THOSE KINDS OF MOMENTS THAT HAVE LONG ELEVATED SPRINGSTEEN'S PERFORMANCES TO GREATNESS, AND NASHVILLE WAS FULL OF THEM. BETWEEN THE SIGNS AND THE APPROACHING END OF THE TOUR, SPONTANEITY HAS BECOME THE RULE. "I'M GONNA TEST THE BAND," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD AS THE REQUEST PORTION BEGAN, SHOWING EVERYONE THE SIGN FOR A TENNESSEE SPECIAL, "GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT." "WE PLAYED THIS AT THE CAPITOL THEATRE IN 1978," HE RECALLED, QUICKLY GOING OVER THE SONG WITH THE BAND AS MAX VAMPED (NOW WITH AN "I [HEART] MAX" SIGN PROPPED AGAINST HIS KIT, WHICH REMAINED FOR THE DURATION OF THE SHOW). THAT WASN'T QUITE ENOUGH -- "SHORT CONFERENCE?" BRUCE LAUGHED BEFORE CONVENING THE BAND FOR A REFRESHER HUDDLE. "ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET!" HE HOLLERED BEFORE FINALLY LAUNCHING IN: "WELL HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?" AND IT WAS GOOD ROCKIN', WITH ROY AND BRUCE EACH TAKING FINE SOLOS. AND AGAIN AT THE END: "ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET!" A GREAT SIGN SET CONTINUED WITH "GROWIN' UP," THAT STORY STARTING OFF WITH THE CLASSIC, "WELL THERE I WAS...." HE WENT ON TO SET THE SCENE OF GETTING HIS FIRST GUITAR, STANDING IN FRONT OF THE SHOP WINDOW WITH HIS MOM: "IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE, NINETEEN... SIXTY... FOUR?" AND AS "THAT GOD DAMN GUITAR" BECAME "THAT GOD BLESSED GUITAR," THEY KICKED BACK INTO THE SONG WITH BRUCE PROCLAIMING, "THIS IS FOR YOU, POP!" THE NEXT SIGN REQUEST WAS "I'M GOIN' DOWN": "THIS IS A SONG THAT ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE THE BORN IN THE U.S.A. RECORD; IT WAS THIS OR 'PINK CADILLAC.'... WE'VE PLAYED THIS A FEW TIMES, IT'S GOOD FOR A LAUGH, AND PROBABLY ONE OF MY MOST INSIGHTFUL SONGS ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN," BRUCE SAID WITH A CHUCKLE. NEXT: "THE PRICE OF GAS IS GOING UP, UP, UP, UP, UP... DID YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU WERE HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN?" AND THE RIVER OUTTAKES CONTINUED WITH "LOOSE ENDS" -- JUST A STUNNING RUN. IN THE ENCORE, A SIGN FOR "BOYS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES" GAVE US "GIRLS" TO REPLACE THE SETLISTED "TENTH AVENUE." THE SIGN'S PHOTO OF A YOUNG BRUCE PLAYING BALL IN CUTOFF SHORTS PROMPTED HIM TO ASSURE THE CROWD, "I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE STRANGE, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW MEN WORE THEIR SHORTS! I PROMISE YOU!" AFTER A THRILLING "I FOUGHT THE LAW" ("HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE!"), BRUCE BROUGHT OUT A GUEST FOR "ROSALITA." AND AFTER ALL THE SPECULATION ABOUT WHO MIGHT GUEST IN NASHVILLE, WHO'DA THUNK IT WOULD BE A GUY FROM PHILLY? "DAVE BIELANKO FROM THE GREAT BAND MARAH... CHECK OUT THEIR RECORD!" FOLLWING "AMERICAN LAND" WITH THE NOW-STANDARD ONE MORE, THOUGH SAM COOKE'S "GOOD TIMES" WAS ON THE SETLIST(!), BRUCE SENT THE "INCREDIBLE CROWD" HOME WITH "DANCING IN THE DARK." THE THIRD BORN IN THE U.S.A. SONG OF THE NIGHT, IT MIGHT HAVE DISAPPOINTED SOME HARDCORES WHO HOPED FOR SOMETHING MORE OBSCURE, BUT IT FELT LIKE JUST THE RIGHT ENERGY LEVEL. FOR A SHOW THAT SEEMED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERSOLD OF THE LEG, THE NASHVILLE CROWD WAS INTO IT AND READY TO HOP. "YOU'VE BEEN A FANTASTIC CROWD," BRUCE SAID, "WE COME THROUGH THE SOUTH AND WE GET SOME OF THE BEST CROWDS WE'VE HAD IN THE UNITED STATES." IN THE CROWD: DIERKS BENTLEY, KIX BROOKS, AMY GRANT, KIM CARNES, MAT KEARNEY.

AUGUST 23 / ST. LOUIS, MO / SCOTTRADE CENTER

NOTES: A REAL HUMDINGER, AND I LIKE IT LIKE THAT. AS THE LAST NOTES OF "TWIST AND SHOUT" DIED AWAY, THE BUZZ AND GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS "BEST NIGHT OF THE TOUR." OF COURSE, COMPARING THESE FINAL MAGIC NIGHTS TO PERFORMANCES FROM 2007 IS LIKE APPLES AND SOCKET WRENCHES. BUT NO QUESTION, ST. LOUIS WAS A PEAK PERFORMANCE, WITH A MIND-BLOWING SETLIST AND THE ENERGY TO MATCH. AS THE SHOW STRETCHED TO THREE HOURS AND 15 MINUTES, WITH TWO FALSE ENDINGS TO "BADLANDS," MIGHTY MAX SIMPLY TEARING UP THE DRUMS, AND THREE SONGS AFTER "AMERICAN LAND"... BRUCE DIDN'T WANT TO GET OFF THE STAGE, AND THE ENERGIZED CROWD DIDN'T WANT TO LET HIM GO. IT ALL STARTED WITH "THEN SHE KISSED ME," BRUCE'S SPIN ON THE CRYSTALS CLASSIC THAT HE LAST BROKE OUT IN 1975. A DELIRIOUS OPENER, A SONG I THOUGHT I'D NEVER HEAR, BUT HEY, WE'VE COME TO EXPECT SUCH THINGS THIS MONTH. WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE JUST THE FIRST OF FIVE CLASSIC COVERS IN THE SET -- SIX, IF YOU COUNT THE RESURRECTED "NOT FADE AWAY" INTRO TO "SHE'S THE ONE." AFTER GRANTED REQUESTS FOR "RENDEZVOUS" AND A FULL-BAND "FOR YOU," BRUCE RETURNED TO THE SIGNS AND SAID, "AS SOON AS WE STARTED DOING THESE REQUESTS, PEOPLE STARTED GETTING VERY SASSY. VERY SASSY. TRYING TO STUMP US WITH STUFF WE PLAYED 23 OR 30 YEARS AGO. TONIGHT WE'LL CHALLENGE THE BAND... AND PROBABLY MOST OF THE AUDIENCE, TOO!" HAROLD DORMAN'S "MOUNTAIN OF LOVE" FOLLOWED, A WALL-OF-SOUND COVER THAT PUT ME FIRMLY ON THE PATH TO SPRINGSTEEN FANATICISM WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT ON THE MAIN POINT '75 RECORDING SO MANY YEARS AGO. AND IN THE NINE-SONG ENCORE, THREE MORE ROCK 'N' ROLL RAVE-UPS -- "DETROIT MEDLEY," "LITTLE QUEENIE," AND "TWIST AND SHOUT" -- TOOK IT OVER THE TOP. BUT THE OLDIES WERE ONLY PART OF WHAT SHOT THIS ONE INTO THE STRATOSPHERE. SIZZLING GUITAR ON THE RETURN OF A REVITALIZED "GYPSY BIKER," "ADAM RAISED A CAIN," AND A MUSCULAR (AND RARE) "COVER ME," BRUCE TAKING TWO LEADS. AND THEN THERE WERE THE EPICS: "BACKSTREETS," "JUNGLELAND," AND "DRIVE ALL NIGHT." TRADITIONAL SING-ALONGS LIKE "HUNGRY HEART" AND "SUNNY DAY" WENT OUT THE WINDOW TO MAKE ROOM FOR THIS TRIO, AND JUDGING BY THE REACTION, THEY WERE JUST AS CROWD-PLEASING, IF NOT MORE. "BACKSTREETS" WAS PLAYED FOR A SIGN AFTER "MOUNTAIN OF LOVE" -- BRUCE LAUGHED, "WE KNOW THIS ONE!" AFTER "MARY'S PLACE," STEVE COULD BE SEEN MIMING A STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE WORD AROUND THE STAGE. BRUCE SHOWED THE "DRIVE ALL NIGHT" SIGN TO THE CROWD, AND AFTER AN INITIAL CHEER THERE WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY HUSH, THE WHOLE PLACE SEEMING TO SIT BACK TO LET IT WASH OVER. WITH THE STAGE BATHED IN PURPLE AND BLUE LIGHT, IT WAS A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE -- SOULFUL, UNDERSTATED PLAYING FROM THE BAND LED TO TREMEDOUS CRESCENDOS, AND THEN, IF ANYONE HAD FORGOTTEN, CLARENCE REMINDED US OF HIS POWER ON THAT HORN. "BETTER THAN GIANTS STADIUM," A FRIEND SAID TO ME HALFWAY THROUGH THE SONG... AND IT ONLY GOT BETTER FROM THERE.

FOR THE FIRST "EXTENDED PLAY" SONG AFTER "AMERICAN LAND," SPRINGSTEEN DECIDED TO SET A WRONG RIGHT. "WE GOT THE HOMETOWN OF BOB COSTAS HERE, AM I RIGHT?" IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THE CORRECTIONS COMING OUT OF NBC, BOTH COSTAS AND BRIAN WILLIAMS HAVE OFFERED MEA CULPAS FOR REPORTING THAT SPRINGSTEEN DEDICATED A SONG TO OLYMPIC WUNDERKIND MICHAEL PHELPS -- "NEWS" THAT THRILLED PHELPS HIMSELF -- WHEN NO SUCH THING EVER HAPPENED. WELL, IT HADN'T HAPPENED UNTIL ST. LOUIS. COSTAS HAD CONCULDED HIS CORRECTION BY WRITING: "NOW IF THE BOSS COULD JUST COVER OUR BUTTS BY GIVING MR. PHELPS A SHOUT-OUT ON THURSDAY NIGHT IN NASHVILLE, OR SATURDAY NIGHT IN MY HOMETOWN OF ST. LOUIS -- A SHOW I’D DEFINITELY BE AT WERE I NOT IN BEIJING -- I THINK I'D FEEL A LOT BETTER." THOUGH HE DIDN'T HAVE A SIGN, BRUCE DECIDED TO GRANT THAT REQUEST. HE MADE GOOD RETROACTIVELY ON THE NEWS REPORTS, CONTINUING WITH A KNOWING SMILE, "WE'RE GONNA SEND THIS ONE OUT TO MICHAEL PHELPS. EIGHT GOLDS -- WHEW!" AND AGAIN, VERY DELIBERATELY, "TO MICHAEL PHELPS," BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO "THUNDER ROAD." NOT "BORN IN THE U.S.A." AS REPORTED, BUT BOB, BRIAN... BUTTS ARE COVERED, YOU'RE IN THE CLEAR. (AND BRIAN, THANKS FOR THE SHOUT-OUT.) FROM THERE, THE WHOLE PLACE WAS FIST-PUMPING GO! GO! GO! FOR "LITTLE QUEENIE" -- HEY, THIS IS CHUCK BERRY'S HOMETOWN, TOO. AND NO ONE ACTUALLY EXPECTED THE BAND TO STICK AROUND FOR YET ANOTHER ONE, BUT A PROMINENT SIGN READING "SOPHIE LOVES BRUCE" WAS JUST THE EXCUSE SPRINGSTEEN NEEDED TO KEEP THINGS GOING. "WE GOTTA DO ONE FOR SOPHIE!" HE SHOUTED, KICKING OFF "TWIST AND SHOUT" TO WRING THE LAST DROPS OF ENERGY OUT OF THE SCOTTRADE CENTER. BLESS YOU, SOPHIE, WHEREVER YOU ARE, AND HAIL, HAIL ROCK 'N' ROLL.

AUG 24 AUGUST 24 / KANSAS CITY, MO / SPRINT CENTER

WITH THE E STREET BAND HEADLINING THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL NEXT WEEKEND, MOST OF US HAVE LOOKED AT THE MAGIC TOUR AS ENDING THERE IN MILWAUKEE. BUT AS THE TOUR NEARED ITS CLOSE, THE HARLEY SHOW BEGAN TO LOOK MORE AND MORE LIKE A SEPARATE THING. SATURDAY NIGHT'S ST. LOUIS BARNBURNER HAD THE FEEL OF ONE OF SPRINGSTEEN'S PENULTIMATE NIGHT SPECIALS. INDEED, IN KANSAS CITY ON SUNDAY, BRUCE CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE SAVING THE LAST DANCE FOR MILWAUKEE: "THIS IS THE LAST OFFICIAL NIGHT OF OUR MAGIC TOUR," HE SAID FROM THE SPRINT CENTER STAGE, "SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!" AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING DID -- FROM OPENING AND CLOSING THE 3:10 SHOW WITH TOUR PREMIERES (THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE, NECESSARILY, OPENING NIGHT), TO LEAD VOCAL TURNS FROM BOTH SOOZIE AND MAX. YES, MAX WEINBERG ON THE MIC! THE NIGHT BEFORE WAS THE ROCK 'N' ROLL BLOW-OUT, WITH KANSAS CITY MORE OF A SPRAWLING, CELEBRATORY, EVERYTHING'S-OUT-THE-WINDOW-NOW ROMP -- THE WAY SPRINGSTEEN SEEMS TO LIKE TO WRAP UP A TOUR THESE DAYS. NOT WITH A NEAT BOW, BUT WITH RIBBONS EVERYWHERE. UP FIRST WAS A WORLD PREMIERE, "RICKY WANTS A MAN OF HER OWN," A DEEP TRACKS CUT THAT GOT ITS FIRST LIVE AIRING EVER. THAT LED INTO "CYNTHIA," BRUCE TELLING THE CROWD, "WE'RE GONNA DO BACK-TO-BACK FARFISA SONGS TONIGHT!" STARTING THE SHOW THIS WAY, WITH TWO OBSCURITIES (AND"CYNTHIA" SLOWER THAN USUAL), MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT TOUGH ON THE AUDIENCE; BRUCE SOON BROUGHT THEM BACK IN WITH "HUNGRY HEART" (AN ENORMOUS CHEER FOR THIS CROWD-PLEASER) AND SOME MORE FAMILIAR SIGN REQUESTS, LIKE "CADILLAC RANCH" AND "WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY." IN BETWEEN, THOUGH, WAS A TRULY UNIQUE PERFORMANCE, AND THE KIND OF THING THAT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS: THE VOCAL STYLINGS OF MIGHTY MAX WEINBERG.

"WE HAVE MULTIPLE REQUESTS HERE," BRUCE SAID, GOING THROUGH THE SIGNS AFTER "SPIRIT." "THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE -- HIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE..." AND HE REVEALED A SIGN READING, "LET MAX SING." "GET THAT MAN A MICROPHONE! OH, WE'RE REALLY FLYING BY THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS NOW!... A LITTLE TUTORING, BE RIGHT BACK." BRUCE WENT BACK TO THE DRUM RISER TO CONFER WITH THE MIGHTY ONE. AND MAYBE THERE WAS REALLY ONLY ONE SONG THIS COULD BE -- THE ONE, PERFECTLY FITTING SONG TO BREAK OUT FOR A SIGN LIKE THAT. BUT IN ANY CASE, DAMN IMPRESSIVE THAT THEY CAME UP WITH IT ON THE FLY: IT WAS "BOYS," ORIGINALLY A SHIRELLES SONG, BUT MOST KNOW IT AS SUNG BY MAX'S HERO, RINGO STARR, AS RINGO'S FIRST RECORDED VOCAL WITH THE BEATLES. MAX MADE THE MOST OF IT, HOLLERING OUT TO "KANSAS CITY!" AS THE SONG BEGAN. MUSICALLY, IT SOUNDED FANTASTIC. VOCALLY... WELL, THERE'S A REASON MAX ISN'T A SINGER, BUT HE ACQUITTED HIMSELF NICELY. "YOU ASKED FOR IT!" BRUCE LAUGHED AFTERWARD. A BRILLIANT SIGN MOMENT. BREAKING OUT ANOTHER OLDIE JUST A FEW SONGS LATER, BRUCE PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON ANOTHER E STREETER. "THIS IS FOR SOOZIE TYRELL," BRUCE SAID, SINGING HER PRAISES AND GIVING HER THE LEAD VOCAL ON "IT'S ALL OVER NOW," THE BOBBY WOMACK SONG MADE BIG BY THE STONES (AND OFTEN PERFORMED BY SOOZIE WITH HER OWN BAND). A GREAT PERFORMANCE, WITH BRUCE TAKING A VERSE AND SHARING THE MIC WITH SOOZIE ON THE CHORUS. "GYPSY BIKER" GOT ANOTHER PLAY, SURELY WARMING IT UP FOR THE HARLEY SHOW. BRUCE FINALLY SQUEEZED ONE IN FROM THE DEVILS & DUST RECORD, PLAYING "DEVILS & DUST" SOLO ACOUSTIC FOR THE "SAFE RETURN OF OUR TROOPS." AND CONTINUING E STREET BAND APPRECIATION NIGHT, HE LOOKED OVER AT CLARENCE BEFORE "LONG WALK HOME" AND SAID "THIS IS FOR THE MIGHTY C." A POIGNANT "SANDY" OPENED THE ENCORE "IN HONOR OF OUR GOOD FRIEND DAN," BRUCE SAID, WITH CHARLIE MOVING OVER TO PIANO AND ROY ON THE ACCORDION. BRUCE MENTIONED A DONATION THAT SPRINT MADE TO THE DANNY FEDERICI MELANOMA FUND AND CONTINUED, "WE'RE CLOSING OUT OUR FIRST TOUR EVER WITHOUT HIM. GONNA SEND THIS ONE OUT TO YOU... AND TO TERRY." "TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT" TOLD THE LEGEND OF THE BAND ONE MORE TIME, LIGHTS-UP STANDBYS "BORN TO RUN" AND "ROSALITA" ROCKED THE HOUSE, AND SOON THE LAST "AMERICAN LAND" TOM BEATS WERE ROLLING OUT ACROSS THE ARENA. "MIGHTY MAX WEINBERG -- THE SINGIN' FOOL!" BRUCE HOLLERED DURING THE BAND INTROS AT SONG'S END. BUT OF COURSE THAT WASN'T ALL SHE WROTE JUST YET. "IT AIN'T OVER TIL IT'S OVER!" SAID SPRINGSTEEN, WITH STILL A COUPLE PREMIERES UP HIS SLEEVE. "SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME" WAS A UNIQUE INTRO TO "DANCING IN THE DARK" ON THIS FINAL NIGHT, BRUCE STARTING THE SONG SOLO BEFORE BEING JOINED BY THE KEYBOARDS, THEN GARRY AND NILS. A WONDERFUL, SOULFUL MOMENT BEFORE THE HOPPING COMMENCED. HANNAH, A LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD THE HONOR A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE ON THIS TOUR, CAME BACK FOR ONE LAST DANCE -- SHE UPPED THE ANTE FOR BRUCE WITH A CARTWHEEL, AND HE RESPONDED WITH A SOMERSAULT OF HIS OWN. FINALLY, THE E STREET BAND WRAPPED UP THEIR YEAR-LONG TOUR WITH ONE MORE BLAST FROM THE PAST, JOHN FOGERTY'S "ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD." "THANK YOU FOR SUUPORTING OUR TOUR," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD AT THE END. "THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE MAGIC ALBUM. THANK YOU KANSAS CITY! THANK YOU E STREET NATION!" AFTER THEY ALL LEFT THE STAGE, CHEERS BROUGHT BRUCE OUT FOR ONE LAST WAVE BEFORE DISAPPEARING AGAIN INTO THE DARKNESS. AND IT SURE WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT MORE BITTERSWEET IF WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO BE BACK ON STAGE IN LESS THAN A WEEK!

AUG 30 THE ROADHOUSE AT THE LAKEFRONT, MILWAUKEE, WI

AN ENORMOUS TURNOUT FOR ONE LAST MAGIC SHOW, BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND'S SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL FOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON'S 105TH ANNIVERSARY; IT WAS ONE LAST STADIUM-SIZED PERFORMANCE, THE OUTDOOR SET SLIGHTLY TAILORED (AND LENGTHENED) FOR THE OCCASION TO BE A FUEL-INJECTED, GOOD-TIME ROCK 'N' ROLL BLOWOUT. GATES OPENED EARLY FOR SHOWGOERS TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM THE BRUTALLY HOT DAY -- AT LEAST THE STAGE OFFERED SOME SHADOW. BRUCE HIMSELF ARRIVED IN MILWAUKEE IN TIME TO EMERGE BEFORE HIS OPENING ACTS -- LOOKING LIKE A BIKER HIMSELF, IN LONG SLEEVES, DENIM, AND SUNGLASSES -- COMING OUT ON STAGE TO GREET THE CROWD, SHAKE SOME HANDS AND GIVE SOME WAVES TO THE FIELD BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN. (APPARENTLY NOT IN TIME TO PRACTICE WITH ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO, THOUGH, WHO PUT IN A WELL-RECEIVED 45-MINUTE SET WITH NO BRUCE APPEARANCE.) MAIN EVENT SHOWTIME AT 8:45, WITH BRUCE AND THE E STREET BAND TAKING THE STAGE TO THE VROOM VROOM SOUND OF A REVVING HARLEY, BRUCE SHOUTING OUT, "GOOD EVENING, HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS!" ACTUALLY, THERE SEEMED TO BE AS MANY BRUCE FANS AS RIDERS IN THE CROWD (NOT THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE CROSSOVER BETWEEN THE TWO), JUDGING BY WHAT LOOKED TO BE A ONE-TO-ONE RATIO OF SPRINGSTEEN SHIRTS TO HARLEY SHIRTS. BRUCE MADE 'EM BOTH HAPPY WITH THE OPENER, A SCORCHING "GYPSY BIKER"'S FIRST TIME IN THAT POSITION. A ROCKING SIGN SET COMMENCED WITH "WOOLY BULLY," THE OLD SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHARAOHS HIT, THE REQUEST SPELLED OUT IN COTTON BALLS ON A SIGN IN THE SHAPE OF A BULL. "THIS IS A VERY CREATIVE SIGN... ANY BAR BAND WORTH ITS SALT HAS GOTTA KNOW THIS ONE," BRUCE SAID, CHARLIE'S SODIUM LEVEL MIGHTY HIGH ON HIS ORGAN SOLO. "DARLINGTON COUNTY" AND "YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH)" (STEVE: "NOT EVEN MENTALLY?" BRUCE: "YOU CAN LUST IN YOUR MIND") FOLLOWED BY REQUEST, BRUCE AND THE BAND POWERING THROUGH AT A BLISTERING PACE MORE REMINISCENT OF THE EARLY PART OF THE MAGIC TOUR DESPITE THE SIGN COLLECTION. THE ONLY TIME THEY REALLY SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN TO CATCH THEIR BREATH WAS ON "DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN," A BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE THAT SERVED TO CENTER THE BAND BEFORE THEY DOVE BACK INTO THE FRAY WITH "YOUNGSTOWN." "RACING IN THE STREET," ANOTHER SIGN REQUEST, WAS PLAYED FOR WILLIE G. -- THAT'S HARLEY HERO WILLIE G. DAVIDSON -- AND AS A "GOOD END-OF-SUMMER SONG." IT WAS ONE FOR THE AGES, TOO, JUST A STUNNING, DEFINITIVE LIVE VERSION. JUST WHEN YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS OVER, BRUCE HOLLERED AT THE BAND, "COME ON! LET'S GO! KEEP IT GOING!" FOR AN EXTENDED CODA WITH AN OTHERWORLDY PERFORMANCE FROM ROY AND CHARLIE. AN AMAZING "SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK" KEPT THE ENGINES ROARING AFTER "BADLANDS" TO CLOSE THE MAIN SET, BRUCE TRULY ROCKING OUT ON GUITAR AT THE END. "JASON..." BRUCE SAID AS THE ENCORE BEGAN, "JASON, IF YOU'RE HERE, COME SEE KEVIN." NO IT WASN'T SOMEONE WHO HAD LEFT THEIR LIGHTS ON -- BRUCE WAS CALLING FOR JASON FEDERICI TO JOIN IN ON "SANDY." "THIS IS THE MY FIRST CLOSING OF A TOUR, OF COURSE, WITHOUT DANNY... AND WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE DANNY'S SON WITH US." JASON TOOK THE STAGE WITH AN ACCORDION STRAPPED ON, JOINING ROY TO SQUEEZEBOX ON HIS FATHER'S SIGNATURE FAVORITE. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAMING, GETTING HUGS FROM BRUCE AND STEVE BEFORE LEAVING THE STAGE. OF COURSE, "SANDY" ALSO INCLUDES THE LINE "EVERY SUMMER WHEN THE WEATHER GETS HOT THEY RIDE THAT ROAD DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THEIR HARLEYS..." AND WAS A REMINDER IF ANYONE NEEDED IT, OF HOW LONG BRUCE HAS HAD AN EYE ON HOG HEAVEN. SOME HAVE EXPRESSED SURPRISE THAT SPRINGSTEEN WOULD PLAY A CORPORATE EVENT, BUT IT'S HARD TO DENY HIS AFFINITY WITH THE "PRODUCT." THE RUNAWAY AMERICAN DREAM OF "BORN TO RUN" WAS PURE EUPHORIA, WITH AN OCEAN OF ARMS IN THE AIR. FOR "THUNDER ROAD," THE SCREENS DISPLAYED BRUCE'S MOTORCYCLE CRED, SHOWING A SERIES OF IMAGES OF BRUCE RIDING OVER THE YEARS -- AND THE CROWD ATE THAT UP, TOO. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARLEY-DAVIDSON!" BRUCE REPEATED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

DURING "GLORY DAYS," BRUCE: "DON'T YOU GOTTA BE IN CHURCH TOMORROW?"

STEVE: "WE'RE IN CHURCH."

BRUCE: "WHAT?"

STEVE: "WE'RE IN CHURCH NOW."

A QUICK KISS FOR GINNY -- "THAT'S MY SIS!" -- IN THE FAMILY & FRIENDS SECTION AT THE END OF "TENTH AENUE FREEZE-OUT." A THANKS TO THE CREW BEFORE "DANCING IN THE DARK," BRUCE REELING OFF A LIST OF NAMES AT THIS FINAL SHOW ON THE SCHEDULE AND SAYING, "THIS WAS THE GREATEST TOUR OF OUR LIVES." AND THEN ONE MORE -- "WE'RE ALL WARMED UP NOW... WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT THIS ONE, I GUESS... I HOPE WE KNOW IT!" -- STEPPENWOLF'S "BORN TO BE WILD." THE PLACE WENT APESHIT, AND BRUCE SHOUTED, "IT HAD TO BE DONE!" A FUN SET, A LOOSE SET, A ROCKING SET, A LONG SET, A LAST CHANCE POWER DRIVE, PUTTING THE FINAL PUNCTUATION MARK ON THE MAGIC TOUR WITH THE LONGEST SHOW OF THE PAST YEAR, AT 31 SONGS AND THREE-AND-A-HALF HOURS. "THANK YOU, WE'LL BE SEEING YOU... WE'RE ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED!"

OCTOBER 4 / PHILADELPHIA, PA / BEN FRANKLIN PARKWAY

SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN PHILADELPHIA, SPRINGSTEEN BEGAN HIS THREE-CITY TOUR OF VOTE FOR CHANGE RALLIES FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. AFTER THE INTRODUCTION BY A WISECRACKING GOVERNOR ED RENDELL, SPRINGSTEEN AND HIS ACOUSTIC TOOK THE STAGE FOR A SEVEN-SONG, 45-MINUTE SET THAT OPENED WITH "THE PROMISED LAND." "GREAT TO BE HERE IN MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME, PHILLY," BRUCE TOLD THE CROWD -- A HUGE TURNOUT ON THIS BEN FRANKLIN PARKWAY ESPLANADE -- ADDING LATER, "I TRIED THIS FOUR YEARS AGO... THIS TIME, WE'LL WIN IT!" SONGS INCLUDED THE RELEVANT-AS-EVER "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD," THE INVITATION OF "THUNDER ROAD," THE DETERMINED RALLYING CRIES OF "NO SURRENDER" AND "THE RISING," AND FOR FUN, "A SONG I PLAYED MANY, MANY TIMES AT THE OLD MAIN POINT," "DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET." SPRINGSTEEN ALSO PREPARED A SPEECH THE OCCASION, CALLING FOR A ROCK TO KEEP HIS PAGES FROM BLOWING IN THE WIND -- "DON'T THROW IT!" HE BEGAN BY NOTING THAT HE'D BEEN WRITING ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR 35 YEARS; HE WENT ON TO WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS ACCOMPLISHED HERE IN PHILADELPHIA, WHAT THEY STOOD FOR, AND WHAT THEIR COUNSEL WOULD BE THESE 200-PLUS YEARS LATER: "DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE THESE THINGS REAL." GOING ON TO ADDRESS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROMISE AND REALITY IN AMERICA, BRUCE HAD SOME GOOD LAUGH LINES ("I OCCASIONALLY PLAY BIG STADIUMS LIKE SENATOR OBAMA") AND WRAPPED IT ALL UP BY RETURNING TO THAT METAPHOR HE LIKED TO PULL OUT ON THE MAGIC TOUR, OF BUILDING A HOUSE TOGETHER. "ONE THOUSAND GEORGE BUSHES AND ONE THOUSAND DICK CHENEYS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TEAR THAT HOUSE DOWN.... COME ON, PHILLY, LET'S BUILD THAT HOUSE." TOWARD THE END OF THE SET, THE CROWD BROKE INTO A SPONTANEOUS "YES WE CAN" CHANT, BRUCE ADDING SOME PERCUSSION ON HIS GUITAR BEFORE OFFERING UP ONE MORE, A REGULAR FROM THE '85 STADIUM TOUR, WOODY GUTHRIE'S STIRRING "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND." AND ONE FINAL MESSAGE TO THE THRONG OF VOTERS IN PHILLY: "IT'S UP TO YOU NOW."

THE SPEECH:

"I'VE SPENT 35 YRS WRITING ABOUT AMERICA, ITS PEOPLE, AND THE MEANING OF THE AMERICAN PROMISE. THE PROMISE THAT WAS HANDED DOWN TO US, RIGHT HERE IN THIS CITY FROM OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, WITH ONE INSTRUCTION: DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE THESE THINGS REAL. OPPORTUNITY, EQUALITY, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE, A FAIR SHAKE FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS, THE AMERICAN IDEA, AS A POSITIVE INFLUENCE, AROUND THE WORLD FOR A MORE JUST AND PEACEFUL EXISTENCE. THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT GIVE OUR LIVES HOPE, SHAPE, AND MEANING. THEY ARE THE TIES THAT BIND US TOGETHER AND GIVE US FAITH IN OUR CONTRACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. I'VE SPENT MOST OF MY CREATIVE LIFE MEASURING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THAT AMERICAN PROMISE AND AMERICAN REALITY. FOR MANY AMERICANS, WHO ARE TODAY LOSING THEIR JOBS, THEIR HOMES, SEEING THEIR RETIREMENT FUNDS DISAPPEAR, WHO HAVE NO HEALTHCARE, OR WHO HAVE BEEN ABANDONED IN OUR INNER CITIES, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THAT PROMISE, AND THAT REALITY, HAS NEVER BEEN GREATER OR MORE PAINFUL. I BELIEVE SENATOR OBAMA HAS TAKEN THE MEASURE OF THAT DISTANCE IN HIS OWN LIFE AND IN HIS WORK. I THINK HE UNDERSTANDS IN HIS HEART THE COST OF THAT DISTANCE, IN BLOOD AND SUFFERING, IN THE LIVES OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS. I BELIEVE AS PRESIDENT, HE WOULD WORK TO RESTORE THAT PROMISE TO SO MANY OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO HAVE JUSTIFIABLY LOST FAITH IN ITS MEANING.

AFTER THE DISASTROUS ADMINISTRATION OF THE PAST EIGHT YEARS, WE NEED SOMEBODY TO LEAD US IN AN AMERICAN RECLAMATION PROJECT. IN MY JOB, I TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD, AND I OCCASIONALLY PLAY BIG STADIUMS, JUST LIKE SENATOR OBAMA. I'VE CONTINUED TO FIND, WHEREEVER I GO, THAT AMERICA REMAINS A REPOSITORY OF PEOPLES' HOPES, POSSIBILITIES, AND DESIRES, AND THAT DESPITE THE TERRIBLE EROSION TO OUR STANDING AROUND THE WORLD, ACCOMPLISHED BY OUR RECENT ADMINISTRATION, WE REMAIN FOR MANY, MANY PEOPLE THIS HOUSE OF DREAMS. ONE THOUSAND GEORGE BUSHES AND ONE THOUSAND DICK CHENEYS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TEAR THAT HOUSE DOWN. THEY WILL, HOWEVER, BE LEAVING OFFICE -- THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THEY'LL BE LEAVING OFFICE DROPPING THE NATIONAL TRAGEDIES OF KATRINA, IRAQ, AND OUR FINANCIAL CRISIS IN OUR LAPS. OUR SACRED HOUSE OF DREAMS HAS BEEN ABUSED, IT'S BEEN LOOTED, AND IT'S BEEN LEFT IN A TERRIBLE STATE OF DISREPAIR. IT NEEDS CARE; IT NEEDS SAVING, IT NEEDS DEFENDING AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD SELL IT DOWN THE RIVER FOR POWER OR A QUICK BUCK. IT NEEDS A CITIZENRY WITH STRONG ARMS, HEARTS, AND MINDS. IT NEEDS SOMEONE WITH SENATOR OBAMA'S UNDERSTANDING, TEMPERATENESS, DELIBERATIVENESS, MATURITY, COMPASSION, TOUGHNESS, AND FAITH, TO HELP US REBUILD OUR HOUSE ONCE AGAIN. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT NEEDS YOU. AND ME. IT NEEDS US, TO REBUILD OUR HOUSE WITH THE GENEROSITY THAT IS AT THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. A HOUSE THAT IS TRUER AND BIG ENOUGH TO CONTAIN THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF ALL OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS. BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE OUR FUTURE LIES. WE WILL RISE OR WE WILL FALL AS A PEOPLE BY OUR ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK. NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I KNOW THAT I WANT MY HOUSE BACK, I WANT MY AMERICA BACK, AND I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK.

SO NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND WITH BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN, ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES, AND COME ON UP FOR THE RISING.

OCTOBER 5 / COLUMBUS, OH / OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

THE SECOND DAY OF SPRINGSTEEN'S VOTE FOR CHANGE RALLIES BROUGHT HIM TO COLUMBUS, WHERE HE WAS INTRODUCED BY OHIO NATIVE, MERCURY ASTRONAUT, AND FORMER U.S. SENATOR JOHN GLENN. SPRINGSTEEN OPENED UP WITH A BIT OF THE BYRDS' "HEY MR. SPACEMAN" IN HIS HONOR. AFTER THAT, A SEVEN-SONG ACOUSTIC SET, AS IN PHILLY, BEGINNING WITH "THE PROMISED LAND" AND INCLUDING A VARIATION ON HIS ROUSING SPEECH FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY. ONE SETLIST CHANGE -- INSTEAD OF "DOES THIS BUS STOP," HERE IN OHIO BRUCE GAVE A NOD TO "YOUNGSTOWN." THE EVENT, WHICH BROUGHT 10,000 TO OSU'S MAIN OVAL, WAS "AIMED AT ENCOURAGING OBAMA SUPPORTERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OHIO'S WEEKLONG SAME-DAY VOTING PERIOD," THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS, "IN WHICH STATE RESIDENTS CAN REGISTER AND CAST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT ON THE SAME DAY.... ABSENTEE VOTING IN OHIO BEGAN TUESDAY. THE STATE'S VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS TODAY."

OCTOBER 6 / YPSILANTI, MI / OESTRIKE STADIUM

NOTES: "HELLO YPSILANTI!" BRUCE GREETED THE CROWD MONDAY AFTERNOON AT EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY'S BALLPARK, "GLAD TO BE HERE -- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT, THOUGH." THIS WAS SPRINGSTEEN'S THIRD VOTE FOR CHANGE RALLY FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IN AS MANY DAYS. "I KNOW OUR OPPONENTS HAVE SAID THEY'RE ABANDONING THEIR ATTEMPTS AT MICHIGAN," BRUCE SAID AS HE ENCOURAGED VOTER REGISTRATION, "BUT I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE ABOUT THAT! IT'S NOT A TIME TO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED." ILLUSTRATING THE POINT AT THE END OF "NO SURRENDER," HE ALLUDED TO HIS EFFORTS AND HOPES FOUR YEARS AGO: "IN 2004... I HAD THE TEQUILA LINED UP ON THE BAR..." BEFORE CONCLUDING ONE MORE TIME, "NO RETREAT, BABY, NO SURRENDER." AN OVERCAST DAY BRIGHTENED UP WHILE BRUCE WAS ONSTAGE, AS THE SUN CAME SHINING THROUGH DURING "THE RISING" AS IF ON CUE. HIS ACOUSTIC SET EXPANDED TO EIGHT SONGS THIS TIME, FEATURING THE SOLDIER'S-EYE-VIEW OF "DEVILS & DUST" AND, JUST DOWN I-94 FROM DETROIT, A VERY RARE "USED CARS." THE MENTION OF "MICHIGAN AVENUE" IN THE LATTER GOT A BIG CHEER, BRUCE ADDING THAT MENTIONING THE NAME OF THE STATE YOU'RE IN IS "KIND OF A CHEAP APPLAUSE-GETTER, BUT IT WORKS." HE ALSO GOT A FEW LAUGHS OF RECOGNITION AS HE RECALLED OPENING FOR BLACK OAK ARKANSAS IN THESE PARTS WAY BACK WHEN. ANOTHER INSPIRING SPEECH, "YES WE CAN" CHANTS, "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" TO CLOSE, AND A TAKEWAY MESSAGE: "LET'S TAKE AMERICA BACK!"
