His new/latest album is pretty good. I just listened to some of it and read the lyrics and it is very good. I really see how Bruce is a BIG influence on Ed. I can picture Ed singing a lot of those song. Ya?

    PJ playing "The River" would put a smile on my face.

    Ever heard Ed's pre-PJ cover of One Step Up? I think it was solo rather than with Bad Radio. You'd think it was Bruce's demo. Uncanny.

    I'll check it out.....I think the Into the wild disk is Brucey if you will.

    'Magic' is pretty good. Favorite song is 'Girls In Their Summer Clothes'. Timeless song.

    I think PJ doing 'Trapped' would be just beyond phenomenal. I know Bruce didn't write it, but man what a version he does of it. After 20 years I found it on itunes...go get it if you haven't yet...it's a great little gem.
    I love to turn you on

    I was under the assumption that Bruce's influence on Ed was pretty much well-known. Bruce's new album is really good. "Magic" and "Living in the Future" are standouts for me. I've been a Bruce fan for a while and I was really happy to see him return to form somewhat for Magic. Though I do appreciate some acoustic Bruce. I haven't heard the Seeger sessions yet - is that cd worth giving a shot?

    of course but the true ingenuity from those sessions comes from the Live Performance ( as always with The Boss )

    sounds like you already missed ouit otherwise you wouldnt be asking,...

    and for anyone who missed it this is the ultimate Bruce Springsteen Thread , chock full of news, ticket drops, photos and live material links .

    I think Seeger Sessions is great and although I much prefer his 'rock' projects, the Seeger Sessions is what actually introduced me to Springsteen. It's not going to be everybodys cup of tea but it's still a fun listen - especially the "Live in Dublin" CD.

    The Magic tour and cd just doesn't excite me the same way as the last BIG e-street tour and cd did. Magic is an ok cd...

    I don't think I'm alone in these observations so I not trying to be negative...just a realist.

    I saw the Magic tour once and then sold my GA floor tickets at cost to the next show that I had lined up, cause i finally realized that i actually felt let down by Magic, especially after that great Rising tour...and then there's the reunion tour...OMG that was something else.

    oh well...life goes on

    Clarence is the man

    I saw Bruce the night before in St Paul, good show but couldn't live up to the last time I saw him on the Voter for Choice tour where Neil Young showed up. I looked up the Milwaukee sertlist on backstreets.com, what a show you got!
