    I finally found my Tracks boxset.

    Listened this morning to disc 2
    ( cuz I wanted a refresh on the original BITUSA )

    Alot of these songs:

    a ) couldve easily been on BITUSA

    and

    2 ) I love some of these - Roulette ( reminds of the shore )
    Where the bands are , Loose ends .

    :thumbup:
    :lol: :thumbup: Love that version of BITUSA. Dollhouse and Take 'Em As They Come are also two of my favorites from disc 2. Doesn't Bryan Adams's "Summer of '69" remind you of "Take 'Em As They Come"?

    You must mean the Human Touch/Lucky Town era with "the other band." :) Dark days, indeed. Fortunately he came back around in a big way. Tunnel of Love was an e-street album, though... and a pretty good one, although I haven't listened to it in ages. I'm a bigger fan of the grittier rock songs in his catalog and didn't really dig the twanginess that came with TOL.


    lol @ " the other band ". Wasn't Randy Jackson
    from American Idol on that/those albums?

    :lol:

    Agree that people expected more rock and roll for a follow up to BITUSA,
    but I still enjoy the introspective TOL album nonetheless.
    Thats why he's The Boss and can change his whole " thing " in 1 swift album,...

    MLB has been using it for all the teams and all their postseason commercials. land of hope and dreams is sucha great great song. Also i was just reading the liner notes for the wrecking ball and noticed Matt Chamberlin drums on a few tracks, cool.

    Tunnel of Love being an E Street album is debatable.
    i have to agree. just like wrecking ball being a bruce and estreet band album is also debatable.

    Max is awesome. One of my favorite drummers. So much endurance in him. I couldn't believe he said (in 2002), he had 7 hand operations. Nuts!

    I never saw him on Late Night but the clips I've seen on YouTube are great. If you didn't see him with Conan, you'd think he was this serious guy. Him and Conan's repertoire was always funny. This one is funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vf6sEroZJo

    Is this the only time Bruce was on Conan? If so, wow!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15DqZn4Qc58

    Bruce and the band should go back on Conan and while they're there, have Max and Conan do a skit together.

    I remember watching this when it was broadcast.
    The funniest thing is Jimmy Fallon
    ( who would later get this show ) playing the spoons.

    do you have GA ?

    Theres a new set of rules for GA Lottery this fall:

    http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2012/g ... -fall-2012

    Please see details below regarding policies and procedures for the show’s GA Lottery. The “lottery” allows holders of general admission tickets a random chance to enter the forward barricade area on the floor, closest to the stage. This is entirely optional and can be disregarded by GA ticket holders who do not wish to enter the lottery for a chance to be placed in the forward barricade.

    1) On the day of the show, sequentially numbered wristbands will be distributed beginning at 1:00PM. This will take place at gate designated for GA entrance Lottery. Wristbands will be distributed until 4:00PM. (After 4:00PM, additional lottery/floor wristbands will not be distributed until after doors are open)

    2) Patrons must be present and in possession of their GA ticket to receive a wristband. Only one wristband per patron will be issued.

    3) After the patron’s ticket has been verified as a GA ticket. A wristband will be issued and affixed to the patron’s wrist.

    4) Anyone who receives a numbered wristband prior to doors, has an equal chance to be first in line to enter the Front Area. A wristband does not guarantee a place in the Front Area.

    5) Patrons who have received a wristband may leave the premises. They must return by 4:30PM.

    6) Patrons who received a wristband and are present for the drawing must be ready to enter the venue. This means they should not be carrying any prohibited items with them. e.g. backpacks/ large bags, cameras, recording devices etc… If there are any questions regarding prohibited items, please check with venue staff prior to the drawing.

    7) A starting number will be randomly picked by a patron. This number will be announced at gate designated for GA entrance Lottery.

    The patron wearing the wristband that matches the starting number will be first in line. All participants are requested to remain in sequential order. Venue entry and security screening may begin as soon as immediately following the drawing. Patrons will be directed by tour and venue staff through this process.

    9) All patrons with GA tickets and a wristband who wish to enter according to the lottery, need to remain present to be processed and escorted into the venue. Failure to be present for drawing, or not remaining throughout the lottery entry process will result in forfeiture of lottery position.

    10) Once inside the venue, a second wristband will be issued to identify those who are within the winning range. This is required to enter the Front GA Area.

    See you on the road!
