Have fun with Bruce! I did it last month. It was a journey but worth it. "Tracks" was the one that took the longest for me to get through. I may have to do it again before the Hartford show.

another interesting tidbit

More birthday craziness ensued with a full band version of “In The Midnight Hour” as it now was actually the midnight hour and therefore September 23rd, Bruce’s birthday. Let it be noted that the E Street Band had not played this song live since New Years Eve in 1980.


I really hope to get my hands in this boot. I know all 3 of the NJ shws
are availabe on one sight or another

There's 2 different versions on guitars 101, I'd go with the baker stuff one.

i scratch my head with bruce sometimes
all of his tickets say no cameras, recorders, laser pointers, as they have said for years...

why bother printing it on your ticket bruce?? :?

i'm bringing my camera next show, and i just don't care...

Bathgate66

i think many of these are from smart phones.

even the live streamer, outlaw pete-
used a smart phone application to stream the shows
live from the meadowlands this week.

he used Iphone4s with Ustream broadcast app that comes free in the app store

Bathgate66

Vancouver sold out in less than 3.5 minutes.

:shock:

For Met Life, the best seats were to be had the days before the show.

I had no idea.



When Bruce Springsteen started recording a batch of new songs to a four-track tape machine in his New Jersey bedroom in January 1982, he wasn’t planning to release an album. The acoustic demos were to be used as guidelines for the E Street Band, who would bring their epic heft to the two dozen or so songs Springsteen had recently written. But something happened along the way to Springsteen’s sixth album: The more he listened to the bare, stark songs on the cassette he carried around, the more he thought this was how they were supposed to sound.

The music (mostly recorded on acoustic guitar, harmonica and organ) certainly fit the mood of the lyrics. Unlike his previous albums – especially the one that preceded ‘Nebraska,’ 1980’s ‘The River’ – the new songs weren’t hopeful fist-pumping sing-alongs. In fact, they were downright desolate. From the opening title tune (based on the true story of a pair of teens who murdered 11 people during a week-long killing spree in 1958) to the closing ‘Reason to Believe’ (not as optimistic as its title lets on), ‘Nebraska’ is a 40-minute bum trip through America’s badlands.

There are tales of fateful last chances (‘Atlantic City’), haunted wayward brothers (‘Highway Patrolman’) and blue-collar workers pushed to their breaking points (‘Johnny 99’). ‘Open All Night,’ the album’s only song to feature an electric guitar, is also the LP’s only song to stray from the core themes of futility and despair.

Surprisingly, the album was a hit when it was released on Sept. 30, 1982. It reached No. 3 and has become one of the decade’s essential recordings. Over the years, Springsteen has reworked several of the songs in concert with the E Street Band, finally giving them the full-group treatment he originally intended. And a few of the leftover cuts – including the drastically different and downcast versions of ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ and ‘Downbound Train’ – ended up on his next album, 1984’s ‘Born in the U.S.A.’

‘Nebraska’ remains one of the best folk albums of the past 30 years. It’s rooted in tradition, but it’s also a crucial leap forward for Springsteen, who sharpened his narrative skills here and found an America that wasn’t an open-armed invitation to a land of hope and dreams. Sometimes it’s a very bad place populated by very bad people who’ve made some very bad decisions.



I wouldve loved to have heard those 2 original versions of BITUSA and Downbound Train.
