New Bruce Springsteen album

edited July 2007 in Other Music
"About as certain as we can get at this point: The new album has been recorded with members of the ESB already having contributed. Additional tracks are being recorded with and without the ESB. As can best be described at this point is the album is a cross between TOL and The Rising with some "rock" songs and a number of songs pared down. Having trouble describing the sound, but a lot of production is being used wth the versions already recorded. Different versions of each song are being recorded (with and without members of the ESB) and the final versions of about half the album have not been settled on. It was agreed to go ahead with announcing a new recording since it is fully anticipated the final recording phases will go very quickly. The good news is a flurry of recording will be ongoing over the next few weeks with August to be the month of final production, etc. Although a given, the album will have a least 10 songs with a goal of about 13 being projected.

What is interesting is the most definitive and positive news relates to the tour, which will be the last for the entire ESB. Rehearsals for the tour are once again scheduled for AP around Labor Day. Look for the tour to kick off on or about 10/02/2007 in New York with a quick swing around the country until the end of November. All of the major cities, to include LA, DC, Philly, Boston, Chicago, etc. will be covered. The month of December will include a quick tour of Europe, about 10 shows or so. January and part of February look to be time off with a full world tour to begin in full effect during the Spring of 2008 (Feb/March) with outdoor arena shows scheduled for the summer of 2008. The U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, will all be on the schedule. Bottom line is that we are now entering the final stages in preparation for the final ESB world tour. Stay tuned."

Tunnel of Love and The Rising are two of my favourite Bruce Springsteen records so I guess you can't go wrong. Hopefully I'll be able to see them on tour, because I've never seen them before.

    Makes you think though, if this will actually be the final ESB tour or just a way to make more money!

    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight

    I wouldn't say they're too young. The Big Man is in his upper 60's. I think he's gonna hang it up after this one.

    i agree with that. i think he had trouble making it through the latter parts of the Rising tour. i believe the Miami Horns will be on this tour to add a little more brass to the show.

    i've see Bruce and the ESB twice on the Reunion tour in 1999 so i'll probably check out at least ONE Philly show but to be honest i'd like to see Bruce do more stuff like the Devils & Dust tour. i kick myself every time i listen to the boots from that tour that i did not attend.

    I will definitely be there! I should have gone to The Rising tour but I was just getting into him then. I just bought the Barcelona DVD and the London 75 show. Both are great!

    To each his own...Devil's was a snooze fest...give me ESB, or nothing!

    I'm most excited to see the boys back with Bruce but topping The Rising is gonna be difficult. I hope he pulls it off...

    They're probably going to go all out seeing as it's the farewell tour. But the Rolling Stones and The Who have had countless farewell tours so...:p

    I figure this last final concert tour with the ESB will "hit the church of bruce peak" like it did for the Reunion tour and The Rising Tours...I don't quite know how to explain it, but if you went, you knew... **arms raised**

    D&D, as said, was a yawn fest...same as that Seeger cd...

    youre forgetting the big man is not as spry or agile , ( perhaps youthful also ) as mick , ron , and roger & pete . plus his bilateral hip replacements dont help either.

    i donnno. all those stripped down versions of songs like Downbound Train, I'm On Fire, Point Blank, Lost In The Flood, State Trooper and of course Dream Baby Dream just sent chills down my spine. just don't know if i can really feel the big arena ESB Badlands, Born To Run or Thunder Road anymore.

    I like to rock out :)

    Bruce just doesn't get me to the church, when he's doing that solo quiet shit...but maybe, that's just me...
