Bruce Springsteen Working on 'Wrecking Ball' Follow-Up
Artist confirms Australian studio time with Tom Morello
"I have stuff I'm working on that I'm very happy about," Bruce Springsteen said backstage before his June 3rd concert in Milan, Italy, during a rare interview for a story about his European tour in the new issue of Rolling Stone. He was talking about his plans for the followup to the 2012 studio album, Wrecking Ball. "I hate to say, because I don't like to be wrong," he added, laughing. "But I have a lot of material. I still feel like I'm in the middle of the well."
Springsteen, whose European trek ends in Kilkenny, Ireland on July 28th, has already cut new tracks this year, during the recent Australian leg of his world tour. He and the E Street Band – with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine temporarily subbing for guitarist Steve Van Zandt – spent one of their days off in a studio in Sydney. That was a first, Springsteen pointed out: "We've never had a recording session during a tour in our lives. We did a couple of things that I wanted to put down. So that was very exciting. And being with Tommy was exciting. The band – Steven, Nils, all those guys – continues to be a source of inspiration for me."
"I always used to say, in the past decades, that I wanted to make more records – and I've done that," Springsteen said, noting his recent rate of production: six studio albums since 2002's The Rising. "I struggled through the Nineties. We weren't playing together," referring to the E Street Band, "and I didn't know how we sounded on record. Brendan O'Brien" – who produced The Rising, 2007's Magic and 2009's Working on a Dream – "gave us that gift. It gave us a rebirth and inspired me, I believe, to write more songs. Of course, it was a decade with an awful lot going on in the United States and elsewhere."
Springsteen wouldn't divulge any more specifics on the new album or the songs he is writing for it. But he was certain that the momentum from his year-long touring with the E Street Band will carry over into his next work. "It's ongoing," insisted Springsteen, who has one more confirmed show after the European tour, on September 21st at Rock in Rio in Brazil. "A week or two later, after stopping, I'm in the studio working, making a demo. You stop the performing for awhile, because this level of intensity. . . You need a break from it."
"But this has been a great, tremendously rewarding period of our time together," Springsteen said. "This has been the best ten, twelve years we've ever had."

Thats right -- how was the show? Would love to hear your review...
I'll try and keep it brief...
Opening with We Take Care Of Our Own got me introduced nicely without setting the heather alight. Really love Wrecking Ball as an album and I knew something from it would open but my heart truly started racing with the next song, The Ties That Bind. I was instantly transported into another place and time and before the song had finished Bruce had almost crawled into the seething pit and hauled out a number of request signs including one from my wishlist I'd never have expected, It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City plus Radio Nowhere and the first up, Jole Blon which I knew nothing about but was delighted to hear.
No Surrender, Wrecking Ball and Death To My Hometown provided plenty reason to keep on singing and by now I was pretty starstruck. However things were about to escalate! My City Of Ruins was extended to over 10 minutes to pay respect and tribute to Danny Federici and of course Clarence Clemons who had passed away sadly exactly 2 years ago to the day. It was really a very touching version.
Spirit In The Night and The E Street Shuffle raised the bar again before the next 2 sign requests, I'm On Fire (very personal for Mrs. Veddertown) and Tougher Than The Rest played for a young woman whose father had passed away (Bruce placed her sign below his mic stand for the song before returning it to her afterwards).
The next 5 songs were absolutely amazing and changed my mind quickly about who the greatest artist/band I've ever seen is. A brooding Atlantic City, Murder Inc, Johnny 99 given full rock n' roll treatment, Open All Night done in the swing style of the sessions band tour and Darlington County. Open All Night was an absolute joy to watch as you can see in the clip I posted, especially the loose groove of the horns and the utter enjoyment of the musicians.
The gospel heavy Shackled And Drawn, Waiting On A Sunny Day and The Rising were largely swallowed up by leaving our spot to refuel, find toilets, etc but we still didn't miss that much before settling back in time for a raucous Badlands and Land Of Hope And Dreams. This ended the main set. Just to add a significant point about my first but definitely not last Bruce show, I looked at my phone for the time after what seemed quite a long time and he'd been playing for an hour. Little did I know he'd continue for another 2 and 1/2 hours!
Encore time brought a fabulous Born To Run, Rosalita, Dancing In The Dark and very emotional 10th Avenue Freeze Out before the hamming it up segment of Twist And Shout, Shout, La Bamba medley which took an eternity to close the set. The audience as they were for the whole evening were bouncing, dancing and singing in style and created a total carnival atmosphere.
Last up, Bruce ushered the fabulous E Street Band off stage before returning alone with an acoustic and harmonica to deliver an emotional and delicate solo version of Thunder Road to send us home in raptures.
I can't explain to anyone who hasn't witnessed The Boss in action how his live show affects you but I can say for sure that by Open All Night that I knew I'd never witnessed anything quite like this. Bruce had fans up on stage, made requests very personal and gave time, souvenirs and an intimate experience for many of the fans lucky enough to be in the front rows. He is an an amazing performer with the ability to keep a line between cheesy rock show cliche and pure heartfelt performance. I've seen pretty much everyone dear to me in the music industry I care to see including PJ 6 times but there's not one that has ever compared to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and I'll be surprised if one ever comes close. Absolutely immaculate performance but as much about the band to fan relationship too. Not just any other show and one I'd recommend above any other.

I am so happy for you... hope Mrs. had as great a time. My favorite reviews to read are from those coming back from their 1st Bruce show! You're going to wind up like me -- making up for lost time...
Fortunately for us, he doesn't seem to want to slow down.
Love that rollicking tune off The Promise... he should play it more often!
He should play more from the album more often!

With the main set powering towards its climax, “Land of Hope and Dreams” was very poignantly dedicated to Nelson Mandela. The encores opened with a rare, intimate performance of “The Promise” by request, played by Bruce alone on the piano, in a pool of blue light on an otherwise dark stage. When Roy Bittan returned following Bruce’s performance, he gestured to the crowd, smiling, in recognition of how far Bruce’s talents extend.

whens the last time he played Roulette :shock:
Lucky Town ? :shock: :shock: ?
I had to look it up, but I believe last Roulette was in 2009, last Lucky Town in 2005.
Would've loved to hear those songs, and especially Roulette, at my show a few weeks ago. Then again, we got plenty of other great stuff.
Also interesting to see that those past couple of German shows he was playing a bit more off Human Touch and Lucky Town. The two title tracks and Back In Your Arms (Tracks-song also from that era, IIRC) in Leipzig, Leap Of Faith, Better Days, Man's Job in Mönchengladbach.

Bruce Springsteen Working on 'Wrecking Ball' Follow-Up
Artist confirms Australian studio time with Tom Morello
"I have stuff I'm working on that I'm very happy about," Bruce Springsteen said backstage before his June 3rd concert in Milan, Italy, during a rare interview for a story about his European tour in the new issue of Rolling Stone.

Springsteen, whose European trek ends in Kilkenny, Ireland on July 28th, has already cut new tracks this year, during the recent Australian leg of his world tour. He and the E Street Band – with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine temporarily subbing for guitarist Steve Van Zandt – spent one of their days off in a studio in Sydney.

I had to look it up, but I believe last Roulette was in 2009, last Lucky Town in 2005.
Would've loved to hear those songs, and especially Roulette, at my show a few weeks ago. Then again, we got plenty of other great stuff.
Also interesting to see that those past couple of German shows he was playing a bit more off Human Touch and Lucky Town. The two title tracks and Back In Your Arms (Tracks-song also from that era, IIRC) in Leipzig, Leap Of Faith, Better Days, Man's Job in Mönchengladbach.
I LOVE "The Promise"!!! Especially the piano only version featured on 18 tracks. Always my favorite. That's awesome!!!!
