blinded by the light will be interesting

LOL

The Fixer

damn, I've seen 7 shows on this last leg of the tour. been hoping for Lost In the Flood at each show and gotten skunked.

anyone else heard rumors that buffalo will be the last ever show with the E Street Band? Clarence especially hasn't looked too good during this tour (healthwise I mean...he is pushing 70 years old!!)

i was too young to buy asbury park when it came out but i was totally on board with manfred mann's version(a 45 hit single, nonetheless) and many years later i finally bought asbury park and realized it was a bruce song that manfred did!!!

sorry 2 hear your bad luck "thefixer". what's weird is me getting to the idea that i am actually going to hear this song(lost in the flood), finally. after many years/shows of bruce's.

and as far as the estreet's last. so hard to say. my guess is clarence won't be on any more big tours anymore, and he is THE MAN. the estreet to me has always been about clarence.

and that right there says everything about the music market. you can be wildly successful, sell out arenas around the world and never reach # 1

i always knew being # 1 wasn't worth striving for

Watch on the day of or before - I can't believe no more tickets will drop. Also, I never used it but there's a guy on the btx board where you have to pay some small amount and sign up and he'll notify you if and when tickets to a (springsteen) show you want are dropping.

Big news from Jon Landau!!!

This Sunday, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band will wrap up their two-year tour by performing their 1973 debut album Greetings From Asbury Park in its entirety (stick with Rolling Stone for a full report). After that, Springsteen’s next moves are unclear. His manager, Jon Landau, says the only plans for 2010 are the release of the long-delayed Darkness on the Edge of Town box set and a DVD of the Working on a Dream tour. “The Darkness box set is 93 percent done,” he tells RS. “It’s absolutely fantastic and there are just some finishing touches that we need to turn our attention to and finalize and we’ll get it out there.” As for the Dream DVD, Landau says, “We’re working on some different approaches to a DVD for this tour. We’ll release it sometime fairly soon, post-Christmas.” Grab the next issue of RS, out November 25th, to read E Street’s reflections on their magical two years on the road.

The Darkness box will likely contain a remastered edition of the disc, a new documentary about the making of the LP, as well as live footage from the 1978 tour. A handful of pro-shot shows circulate through the fan community, but there’s no word on which concert will be brought out of the vaults for the set. In 2005, fans were stunned when a previously unknown complete performance from London in 1975 appeared on the Born to Run box set. The Darkness on the Edge of Town tour is widely regarded as the high water mark of Springsteen’s live career.

so its all over ,...


....for now !

from Backstreets:

When Backstreets interviewed Bruce Springsteen shortly before this Magic/Dream E Street Band trek began, back in 2007, the Boss had this to say: "I envision the band carrying on for many, many, many more years. There ain't gonna be any farewell tour. That's the only thing I know for sure."

&:

And amid speculation about the last this or the last that, talk elsewhere of retirement of the E Street Band, one more song kept the ending on a high note, John Fogerty's "Rocking All Over the World." It was a celebration of the tour, of the band, of rock 'n' roll... not of a band on the verge of retiring, but of a band firing on all cylinders at this very moment. Bruce's final words matched the mood: "We appreciate you coming out to see the E Street Band. So we're gonna say goodbye, but just for a little while... a very little while... because... because..." before singing again, "I like it, I like it, I like it!"

After acknowledging fans who came from all over — other states, other countries — to take part in these shows, Springsteen said, "I want to thank our crew, who work all day and all night to bring this show to you in your town." He thanked the E Street Band, the road crew, the truckers, carpenters, and everyone in every department by name, from security to sound, video, production, management... and while tonight was certainly the end of something, and no one's quite sure what he means by "a very little while," the overwhelming feeling at the end of the show was summed up by a sign that Bruce and Steve grabbed and paraded across the stage during the encore, laying it to rest below Max's drumkit, Steve every once in a while checking to make sure it was still visible:

It's only rock 'n' roll, but it feels like love.

Amen.

Bruce last night :

"We'll see you further on up the road. We have a long way to go before we sleep"

I'll try to post more later - have to go to work, but at one point and now I forget which song, Bruce struck up, with Clarence, the exact pose as on the cover of Born to Run and stood there like that for a minute. I just broke down and cried.

edit - oh yeah, it was Growin' Up.
