    Side B of The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle might possibly be the greatest side of any record in history. Those 3 songs are simply stunning.

    this is so sad. I've seen so many rehearsal shows here,
    as well as The Rising on The Today Show,
    and The Seeger Sessions Band on Good Morning America ( railing ).



    ANOTHER TURN FOR THE WORSE FOR ASBURY'S CONVENTION HALL
    Asbury Park's historic Convention Hall — site of dozens of Bruce Springsteen/E Street Band rehearsals and concerts (as well as high-profile Today Show broadcasts for The Rising) will close to public events on May 1 due to fire code issues, and its already uncertain future now looks even bleaker.

    Backstreets recently reported about potential structural damage to the building resulting from Asbury Park master developer Madison Marquette's removal of copper panels from the building's exterior (and their subsequent theft), and about ongoing problems with the building's fire safety. Then came "Superstorm" Sandy, which further worsened the already deteriorating infrastructure of the 90-plus-year-old building (damage assessments have not been officially released).

    Now the Asbury Park Sun reveals that the failure of the city of Asbury Park and property owner Madison Marquette to resolve Convention Hall's fire code issues could have dire consequences for the future of the building.

    In the Sun’s report, Asbury Park Fire Chief Kevin Keddy explains that a 2006 update to the New Jersey fire code requires public facilities to install sprinkler systems. To keep the building open Madison Marquette, which has been paying monthly fines as a result of fire code violations, bought some time by signing a consent order with the city that requires sprinklers to be installed by 2015 as long as consistent progress toward that goal could be demonstrated.

    But despite Madison Marquette's willingness to proceed with other projects in the waterfront redevelopment zone — a recent bond issue deal its partner iStar Financial reached with the city would purportedly finance several future construction projects — the developer is pleading poverty when it comes to one of the city's most recognizable landmarks (the Convention Hall complex is on both the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places). Madison Marquette is declaring that unless a workable financial solution is found, the building will remain closed.

    In the Sun piece, the company's senior vice president Anselm Fusco states that “The requirement to install sprinklers in nearly all of historic Convention Hall is very expensive — we've received quotes for the work in excess of $1 million. The building is costly to operate — it runs at a significant loss every year — and to invest so much additional capital in this situation is not economically feasible."

    Convention Hall, a building central not just to the careers of Bruce Springsteen and other prominent Asbury Park musicians but to the musical history of the city itself, will be temporarily closed on May 1 because of the sprinkler issue. Other structural issues remain, the cost to repair them unknown and certainly steep. Every day these problems are not addressed, every day the building is not repaired, it falls further into decay. Additionally, every day it is not used, it slips further from public consciousness. And any of these might eventually be the reason Convention Hall — like Palace Amusements, the Baronet Theater and so many other historic Asbury Park landmarks — could one day be demolished.

    Ok, so can't compare to other Aussie shows, or other Bruce concerts I have been to in the past as last night was my 1st one !!!

    One word for it....AMAZING !!! It was like a freaking religious experience.....Incredible the man is a force of nature......And I gotta say this..I've never had the pleasure of seeing Steve Zahn play live..but Tom Morello.......IS OUT OF THIS WORLD......He was an animal last night..

    Highlights for me were, (in no particular order..... Ghost of Tom Joad,..again Tom Morello. amazing, :D Cover Me, No surrender and I'm on fire !!.... Can not believe my luck in getting that last one played....

    It's only taken about 26 years, but thanks Mr Springsteen for an experience that will last with me forever !!! :D:D:D

    The first Melbourne show in Australia
    was the very first show on the entire tour
    that " My City Of Ruins" wasnt played.

    I do like the song, but still cant believe that has become one of the staples.

    Last week I got the 4 LP box set of Live at the Main Point from Feb of 75. I know this is a very widely known show to all the hardcore Bruce fans but this is the first time I have heard it. It's absolutley amazing. To think Bruce hadn't even released BTR at this point is hard to imagine. It sounds like a show from the early or mid 80's energy and talent wise. At this show he sounds like hes been rocking for at least 10 years. It's easy to say now, but how did people not think Bruce would be the biggest artist in the world at this time?

    Can't believe it's been a year since the Springsteen in DC. Best impulse decision ever--left work early and made my way to the venue alone in search of a ticket for face. Scored an extra with two lovely Irish gentlemen and then we all proceeded to have our faces melted off. Don't even have words to explain how incredible the show was. Came at a time when I really, really needed it and it honestly carried me through the rest of the semester. I hope I get to see Bruce again!

    BILLY JOEL IS BUILDING A MOTORCYCLE FOR BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

    Born a few months apart in the New York area, lifelong labelmates and members of the (other) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen have a lot in common. In addition, both are also well-known motorcycle fans, and Joel is currently building a bike for his old friend.

    Speaking to Cycle World, Joel, who owns a custom motorcycle shop in a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island, tells of how it came to be. “Bruce is always looking for a character bike,” he said. “I told him about our shop, so he came down in the middle of winter. It’s freezing—minus five degrees—and he wants to take out my Sacred Cow bobber. I said, ‘Are you crazy?’ It’s so cold, and he had no gear, just a helmet.”

    Still, the weather and lack of apparel did not deter Springsteen from testing out the bike. “After a ride, he came back and said, ‘I want you to build me that bike.’” Joel continued. “So he gave us the specs, and we’re almost finished with it. It started out as a Kawasaki W650. The frame is black and the tank will be metalflake gold. Man, he’s hard core.”

    Billy Joel’s love of motorcycles is nothing new. He’s been collecting bikes since the mid-1970s. In 1982, he was involved in a motorcycle accident when a driver ran a red light and hit him. In an ironic twist, the only damage the Piano Man suffered was to his hands – he shattered a bone in his left thumb and dislocated his right wrist.
