    So who actually rides on the bus? Just the band or crew too? Do they all ride on one?

    They need to get a plane. Then they can play more shows. :)

    oh boy. Those things break down more than the Fung Wah buses did.

    I can see them stranded on 84E near Vernon, CT right now.

    if the boy's still traveled by bus (which i very much doubt), I would imagine it would look much like Uncle Neil's....

    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    you don't think they travel by bus even for the shows that are only hours apart?? I can't see them chillin' in a bus for 18 hours driving cross country but it seems a little silly to fly for all shows.
  • I'm pretty sure they still use busses in the states. The only bands I've heard of that don't are U2 and Coldplay, they fly back to New York or Vegas right after every show.

    And then probably tell us we should ride bikes to work to cut down our carbon footprint.

    You guys are funny. Of course they still take busses!! And no the crews don't ride with the bands. The techies do, but floor, line hangers, line rollers, and step crew all have their own busses or vans. Gear techs ride with their assigned band member, so they can work in issues, pass offs, and they are just generally expected to be up their person's ass.. As for planes.. Usually just over seas.. Busses are much cheaper to run across end the country in.. Whole tour crew for a band this size?? About twenty vehicles and just over one hundred or one fifty, crew members not including the band and their techies. :-)

    Bruce and the E street band travel on chartered planes....A few years ago for the show in DC I was working at Dulles(had to work on their plane actually) and it was a chartered 757. They arrived a few hours before the gig and then they all got off of the plane an into a waiting motorcade of Escalades and vans with a police escort to the show downtown.

    Even better is the small number of people traveling on the plane: the band, whatever family was with them, and some management. Tons of room on the plane for more people but the entire road crew were on buses and trucks as is the norm.

    PS Bruce was in Philly before heading to DC :fp:

  • Its weird last week I saw Everclear in our local airport (Bradley International) I guess they played a couple night prior at the casino's. They were flying to LA....I mean Everclear cant even hold PJ's jock..but just sayin!
    Shoes...Shoes for my friends!
  • Just re-watched the clip from PJ20 of Eddie and Stone working on Daughter on the tourbus (then called Brother). 

    Are there any pics taken of them on the tour bus from the early days? Like from Clinch or Mercer or whatever?

    I think they probably operate like an NBA team.  Bus when its fairly close.  Plane otherwise.  
    A bunch of 50 yr old dudes in a bus for fourteen hours a day isnt happening. Aleve would be the new drug.

    I would prefer they travel in whatever way keeps them the most rested and comfortable.
