Another beautiful day at the beach and another fun day of rehearsals by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
Several members of the E Street Band again stopped for photos and autographs.
The speakers were out again today, playing radio station 107.1 FM "The Breeze." A little bit of music on the lighter side but we could still make out many of the songs played.
Today's setlist:
1. Radio Nowhere
2. Lonesome Day
3. Gypsy Biker
4. Empty Sky
5. Girls In Their Summer Clothes
6. Promised Land
7. She's The One
8. The Rising
9. Last to Die
10. Long Walk Home
Band finished early today, about 12:30 p.m.
Little Steven came out and stopped and signed autographs and took pictures for everyone. About 50 people around and Steven took the time to make sure everyone was taken care of.
Steven continues to sign his autograph as "Stevie was here."
Steven was great throughout the rehearsals, always taking the time to pose for pictures or sign autographs.
Clarence Clemons also stopped to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Clarence had a cigar in his mouth and the "Big Man" looks great.
Roy Bittan did sign one autograph today, for a woman who had a poster signed by all of the E Street Band except Roy and Patti. As far as I know, Roy only signed the one today and one autograph one morning last week.
Garry Tallent also signed autographs today as did Soozie Tyrell.
Patti Scialfa was there today. She didn't stop to sign, but did wave to all the fans as she drove down the ramp.
Bruce left at 2:30 p.m. As he came out to his vehicle on the noth side of Convention Hall there was five fans on the beach who shouted up to him. Bruce did come over and gave them a quick hello. He didn't sign anything. The fans wished him a Happy Birthday. Bruce's birthday is on Sunday.
Bruce then drove down the ramp and waved to the 50 or so fans who were gathered.
Also at rehearsals today were Dave Marsh and Eric Meola, the photographer who shot the "Born to Run" album cover.
As the rehearsals wind up, I just want to give a big thank you to Bruce's security team and the security at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
The entire group including Jerry Fox Sr., Jerry Fox Jr., Fred, Rex and all the others were extremely respectful to the fans the past two weeks.
When members of the band came out to sign autographs, they organized lines and made sure everything was orderly.
They are the best.

A hot night in Asbury Park's Convention Hall and an even hotter performance by Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.
A short show by Bruce's standards, but this was the first shot and they nailed it pretty good.
Show began at 8:35 p.m.
Bruce led the band out on the stage and said "Welcome to our rehearsal. We're going to give it a run through. We might make some mistakes but I doubt it."
Then Bruce shouted: "Is there anyone alive out there?"
It then led into a very hot:
1. Radio Nowhere
This is a great opener, it will have every arena up on its feet. My notes say: "Wow, what an opening song>"
2. No Surrender
I noticed Soozie Tyrell playing an acoustic guitar on this song. She played acoustic on several songs.
3. Gypsy Biker
Bruce introduced several of the new songs. On this one he said "This is called Gypsy Biker."
Some great guitar work here by Steve Van Zandt. Bruce plays the harmonica,
Bruce and Steven trading guitar solos off at the end. Very hot.
At the end of the song Bruce said, "I'm losing weight already!" as it was very hot and he was sweating a lot.
4. Empty Sky
Nice with the full band. Patti shared some of the lead vocals with Bruce.
5. Something in the Night
Roy's piano sounded great at the beginnning. Brought me back to 1978. Great song to hear in Asbury Park.
Bruce jokingly then said: "Wecome to the beautiful, air conditioned Convention Hall. Well the air conditioning is coming back along with everything else!"
6. Girls in Their Summer Clothes
Bruce introduced it by saying "This is for The Girls In Their Summer Clothes."
Very nice sax solo by Clarence Clemons. Bruce brought Clarence right up to the front to do the solo.
At the end Bruce said: "All right C! Good going kid!"
7. Night
It rocked as ususal.
8. Promised Land
Bruce may have audibled this has Kevin Buell had a look of surprise when Bruce wouldn't take a guitar from him.
Bruce came right up to the front of the stage and worked both the left and right far sides to get the crowd into it (not that he needed to get them into it). He threw his harmonica to a child at the end of the song.
9. Livin' in the Future
Bruce did a bit of a rap about this being "a song about what couldn't have happened, happened already."
Bruce comes to the front of the stage and walks back and forth a bit and does a little talking before the song.
10. Devil's Arcade
Bruce dedicated this to the Iraqui War veterans.
Another great guitar song. Some great guitar work by Bruce. They really get into it at the end.
11. Candy's Room
I had trouble hearing Bruce's vocals on this song. His vocals weren't high enough over the other instruments.
12. She's the One
Great to hear, Bruce plays some harmonica at the end.
13. Lonesome Day
At the end of the song, fans started to sign "Happy Birthday>" Bruce came out to the front of the stage and smiled.
14. My Hometown
Crowd sang the "Your hometown" part, just as they did in previous tours.
15. The Rising
16. Last to Die
17 Long Walk Home
I had a feeling this would be the set closer. Patti and Steven join Bruce at the center mic for some of the vocals toward the end. Bruce really wails on the guitar at the end of the song.
Set ends at 10:05 p.m.
Bruce said "There were a few mistakes"
Encores:
18. Thundercrack
Bruce said "this song is older than myself. I wrote this song when I was in the womb. This is one of my first compositions. Max has never played on this song, Roy hasn't played on this song."
Bruce then looked toward the crowd and they started shouting out "Thundercrack."
Bruce said, "you probably found out about it from some A ** hole on the Internet."
Really great to hear this by the E Street Band. Nils and Soozie come up to the front of the stage toward the end, Soozie playing the violin.
19. Born to Run
House lights turned on, crowd goes crazy.
20. Darlington County
Works well as an encore song, crowd really gets into it.
Bruce did some strutting across the stage.
21. American Land
Danny Federici and Roy both play the accordian on this song,. They both come out center stage behind Bruce. Clarence plays the penny whistle."
Bruce said: "Our first go round! We'll be seeing you"
Show over at 10:35 p.m.
Just about two hours.
Some other notes:
Bruce never introduced the band. Many curious what song he would do it in, it still remains a mystery.
Band setup is the same. Clarence to the left, Patti to the right.
Clarence looks in great shape, although he does sit a bit. But hey, he is 65.
Huge stage, it came out past the first two sections on each side of Convention Hall.
The floor wasn't that big at all. Maybe 50 feet from the front of the stage to the soundboard.
There was no pit.
Lights are really bright on the crowd in the floor during "Radio Nowhere."
Bruce wore black jeans and a black shirt. Is in great shape.

I just started getting into Bruce and so far I have listened to Nebraska, The River, and Devils and Dust. I love the slow haunting songs that make up the majority of Nebraska and Devils and Dust. I think The River is decent, some great songs, some filler.
What albums should I look into next?
Also, why does everyone seem to hate Devils and Dust? I thought it sounded very similar to Nebraska, which seems to be a well liked album.
