    i'm still a little shocked that Bruce allowed American Idol to use his song
    Dancing In The Dark.
    If you dont count "Because The Night"-- which one of the girls sang at the beginning of this season-- its the first Bruce song that has been used on AI .( that he actually recorded )

    Taylor pulled it off, i wish him the best of luck.

    at this point, if you're in the top 3, you're gonna be famous and make lots of $ .

    http://www.Backstreets.com/news.html had some fun, writing this review using alot of Zeppelin references. Funny stuff:

    5/21: BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU
    After a 3-week run in Europe, Springsteen Rambles On
    With the surviving members of Led Zeppelin in town to accept the Polar Music Prize (an honor Springsteen received in 1997), Jimmy Page was in the house for the Stockholm show. Alas, Bruce didn't seize the moment and bring him up for "When the Levee Breaks" -- Page stayed in the crowd. (Heartbreaker, huh?) But he surely didn't stay in his seat, as this European tour-closer had everyone fired up, on stage and off. A Whole Lotta Love from the enthusiastic crowd, a contrast to the previous night in Oslo as Bruce hinted, joking, "I don’t have to mention any names...." It was a longer set, giving No Quarter at 22 songs and over two-and-a-half hours. And while most of the Songs Remained the Same, Bruce worked in a few of the rarities from this leg: "Bring Them Home," "Long Black Veil," and "Adam Raised a Cain" (introduced as "an old song written by a very old man"). Springsteen gave a special Thank You to his Friends in Sweden and noted how long it's been Since I've Been Loving You: "This is the 31st year we’ve been coming here," he said fondly, adding that since he's only 30 years old, "It’s a true miracle!" Of the European tour as a whole: "We had a wonderful time the past three weeks. I wish it could have been twice as long." Sounds like he'll be doing something about that come the fall, with more Dancing Days ahead for Europe... for now, he's gonna Bring It on Home.


    Next: U.S. fans, Your Time is Gonna Come: No more Over the Hills and Far Away... Springsteen and the band take a Night Flight back across the Ocean to start the U.S. leg in Boston this Saturday. (And of course, soon after that, they're Going to California.) Hot Dog, We're Gonna Groove!

    Bruce " Loves that Dirty Water "

    5/27, BOSTON: OUT COMES THE WOLF
    After a ten-city European tour, Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band return to the States to play to a typically fine Boston audience -- "A great way to start off the American leg," Bruce said, "Every crowd should be like this!" The band's first U.S. date since their stunning turn at Jazzfest in New Orleans nearly a month ago finds them even tighter, and as the confidence level has risen, songs have stretched out with more solos. Patti was back on stage tonight after bowing out of Europe early, signifying the number of shows she missed with just four wiggling fingers. What we've thought of as the European horn section was still part of the proceedings tonight, too; Mark Pender and LaBamba joined in halfway through to bring the horn count to six -- and, with their style and power, helped raise the energy level for the show's back half. A six-song encore began with the first U.S. performance of "Bring Them Home," which debuted in Paris, played tonight specifically with Memorial Day in mind. It took the place of "My City of Ruins," dropped for the first time on tour. Another surprise in the encore, per tradition, was the just-for-Boston special, "Dirty Water." Local showgoers have been treated to this Standells classic regularly on recent tours, from the E Street garage stomp version at the Fleet Center and Fenway Park, to Bruce's solo voice-and-harp holler on the Devils & Dust tour. It was given a different twist with this new band tonight, of course, but the more things change the more they stay the same -- old pal Peter Wolf was on hand once again for this one, staying on stage as "Dirty Water" moved right into "Buffalo Gals" and adding ad libs about a "redheaded girl."

    I love the Seeger Sessions album, and the 7 pages of this thread seems to suggest that lots of others do as well :D

    My favourite song on it is "O Mary Don't You Weep", I can't get enough of it, anyone else share that as their favourite??




    Jack :D

    Hey Jack - did you catch any of the recent European Shows ?

    I like O' Mary,
    but today ( every day my fav changes )
    I am enjoying John Henry .

    I also like Jacobs Ladder. Both were exceptional performed live at the rehearsal shows .

    cheers !

    I'll be coming down off my Pearl Jam high, and nothing can help that better then a little Bruce Juice. 2 shows in late June and these television appearances:

    TIVO ALERT: LATE NITE TELLYVISION, COAST TO COAST
    The Seeger Sessions Band is about to hit U.S. shores, and while they're touring around for the next month, Springsteen will work some late night TV appearances into the schedule. First up will be The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday June 5, to be taped in the afternoon before the show at the Greek and to air that night. Then toward the end of the leg, he'll hit Late Night with Conan O'Brien while in NYC for the Madison Square Garden show, to air Friday night June 23 (actually, early morning June 24). Will Max and Larry have a drum-off? Tune in to find out...

    how'd that work out ?

    that guy has a shitload of those boots.

    Bruce really should follow suit with Pearl Jam in the respect of offering the official bootleg shows via download .

    oh well.

    at least hes really branching out with A-O-Hell now, you can pull up 1 live song from each nights concert .

    by tours end, it will all ammount to a full show!

    Bruce on that horrible Jay Leno Show .


    You tube. Perhaps someone has the knowledge of how to convert this to an MP3, perhaps ?

    enjoy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcTeNe6Byc4


    my favorite Bruce added lyric for New Orleans :
    " Took a look around,
    ......gave a little pep talk,
    said " I'm with you "
    & then took a little walk,..."
