Bruce all over the new movie " Reign Over Me "
yeah , Pearl Jam is at the very end when the credits are rolling,
but Bruces " The River " actually has a pivotal part of the plotline.
It was excellent to hear " Drive All Night " , and at a very crucual storyline segment.For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

MORRICONE SESSIONS DUE APRIL 24
Bruce follows his muse for another off-E Street detour
While conventional wisdom suggested that Springsteen would finally return to E Street in 2007, the much-awaited E Street Band record is once again on hold. Despite frequent Boss sightings in Atlanta, where various band members have been recording new Springsteen material (the blogosphere is buzzing with word of Max Weinberg’s recent cowbell overdubs), the man himself has decided to take another sidetrack. According to a Shore Fire Media press release leaked today, April 24 will bring the Columbia Records release of Springsteen's Once Upon a Time: The Morricone Sessions.
As regular readers of this page know, Springsteen recently recorded his take on Morricone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" for a Various Artists tribute to the Maestro. According to the new press release, Springsteen was so inspired by "the joy of making music together, live, just as they did 300 years ago in little opera houses and symphony halls all across Europe" that he went back into the studio in February for a two-day session with the Bayonne Symphony Orchestra. It was planned as a one-day session, but it took a day to determine that he couldn't fit the 73-piece orchestra in his farmhouse (even, according to the liner notes, with the horns in the hall, the oboes in the bathroom, and the violas in the hayloft).
"This record feels like part of a conversation Bruce and I have been having for decades," says Springsteen manager Jon Landau says. Indeed, Once Upon a Time: The Morricone Sessions has been decades in the making. Springsteen first assembled the Orchestra for a one-day session way back in 1976, then brought back the surviving members for a second one-day session in 2004. While listening to the recordings for possible inclusion in the now-also-on-hold Tracks 2, Springsteen "thought there might be something here" and "threw myself into it." The set will be heavy on music from the Spaghetti Western soundtracks Morricone did for director Sergio Leone, but will also include some of the soundtrack master's more recent scores. Highlighting the loose spontaneity of the recording, Springsteen can be heard tapping his baton, calling out "Piccolos!," and even adding some guitar here and there.
The full track listing remains tentative, but a five-track promo sampler CD includes "Once Upon a Time in the West," "Jill’s America," "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly," "Deborah’s Theme," and "Once Upon a Time in the West (Arthur Baker Remix)." Eschewing the DualDisc of The Seeger Sessions, The Morricone Sessions will include an extra disc that doesn't play on anything.
More good news: there will be a tour, beginning in mid-May, featuring the entire Bayonne Symphony Orchestra, Soozie Tyrell, and Lars Ulrich; the ensemble has already begun rehearsing at Asbury Park's Paramount Theatre. "Expect the unexpected," Landau says. "I feel like I never really heard 'I'm Goin' Down' until I heard it as part of a medley with the theme to The Mission."For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

Springsteen Shaves His Head
http://www.backstreets.com/Assets/Images/news0407head.jpg
SPRINGSTEEN SHAVES HEAD
The Metallica Sessions is on hold. Mere hours after announcing an April 31 release date (and after considerable fan outcry on internet message boards, to which Bruce is known to pay perhaps too much attention), Springsteen entered a South Philadelphia barbershop and emerged with no hair.
"Oops, I did it again," Springsteen joked with uneasy fans outside the salon. "I told that barber to hit me baby, one more time. Whooooo!!" Before he could say another word, he was pushed into a Range Rover driven by Jon Landau, who said something about "continuing a conversation" before he sped away. Fans followed the pair to Atlanta, where they pulled into the parking garage of a hotel within blocks of Brendan O'Brien's studio.For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

NO FOOLIN': LIVE IN DUBLIN DUE JUNE 5!
Sessions tour gets official document, on CD and DVD
As Springsteen fans know all too well, just because they record a show doesn't mean it's going to be released: Bruce's Boston stop on the Devils & Dust tour, captured on film but stuck in the vault indefinitely, is a recent case in point. So when we found out last year that the Dublin stand on the Seeger Sessions tour would be filmed, we weren't counting any chickens. Now, however, we have official word that a show's worth of material from those November 2006 concerts will be coming home, on DVD (including availability on the hi-def Blu-ray format) as well as in a separate two-CD set.
Live in Dublin, from "Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band" (note the "Seeger" has been dropped) is just two months away, scheduled for June 5 from Columbia. The two-CD set and DVD each feature 23 songs from The Point in Dublin, captured on November 17, 18, and 19:
1. Atlantic City
2. Old Dan Tucker
3. Eyes on the Prize
4. Jesse James
5. Further on Up the Road
6. O Mary Don't You Weep
7. Erie Canal
8. If I Should Fall Behind
9. My Oklahoma Home
10. Highway Patrolman
11. Mrs. McGrath
12. How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?
13. Jacob's Ladder
14. Long Time Comin'
15. Open All Night
16. Pay Me My Money Down
17. Growin' Up
18. When the Saints Go Marching In
19. This Little Light of Mine
20. American Land
21. Blinded By the Light
Bonus Songs:
22. Love of the Common People
23. We Shall Overcome
And a familiar team at the helm: The DVD was edited by Emmy- and Grammy-winner Thom Zimny, with audio mixed by Bob Clearmountain (including 5.1 surround) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
While the track listing roughly represents the format of a show, this is actually an amalgam, taken from all three nights. See the actual concert setlists here. The most glaring omission on the release is "John Henry" (which was played each night at The Point), though we'll miss "You Can Look," too. Otherwise, this looks to be a fine representation, with a nice balance of originals, Seeger Sessions material, and other covers. Who'd thunk we'd ever see "This Little Light of Mine" on a Springsteen live album? For those of us who couldn't make it to the fall shows in Europe, when that one debuted, that alone should be a treat. And for those who didn't catch the tour at all -- because of scant tour stops outside of the bigger fan markets, or whatever else -- Live in Dublin should be a very welcome and maybe even surprising document of a whole 'nother side of Springsteen. Now, how'd they think up that name?

The Boss Revamped
The Boss revamped
Tunes get new spin at Springsteen bash
BY JIM FARBER
DAILY NEWS COLUMNIST
Friday, April 6th 2007, 4:00 AM
Print Email Suggest a Story
At the end of a tribute concert featuring the music of Bruce Springsteen, the Boss himself joined in.
Bruce Springsteen fans have gotten used to radical makeovers of his songs over the years.
On tours without the E Street Band, he has often used fiddles, banjos and mandolins to send older, urban songs marching down a rural road.
But even those switches couldn't prepare fans for the wealth of informed re-thinks on Springsteen songs unveiled last night at a Carnegie Hall tribute show. For 2-1/2 hours, more than 20 different musicians reupholstered songs from the star's rich catalogue, in a show benefiting Music for Youth, which funds music lessons in city schools.
There were stars Patti Smith, Ronnie Spector and Steve Earle; cult artists ranging from M.Ward to Marah - plus, at the end, Bruce himself, who gleefully overhauled his own "Promised Land" and "Rosalita."
Though none of the artists, save The Hold Steady, went for the muscularity of full-tilt Bruce (they, with a rev-up of "Atlantic City"), nearly everyone found their own way into the songs.
Some did through their personas: Given the threat in his voice, Steve Earle has a firmer grip on the character in "Nebraska" than does its author. And Josh Ritter brought his own Midwest naivete to "The River."
Other stars used genre switchups for a twist. The North Mississippi Allstars turned "Spirit in the Night" into a sly blues, Odetta made "57 Channels" a poem and Juliana Hatfield coarsened "Cover Me" into a grunge ballad.
Pete Yorn stressed the desperation, over the release, of "Dancing in the Dark" and Patti Smith stripped "Because the Night" down to a piano ballad without losing any of its theatricality.
Of course, no one could upstage Bruce, with his Dylanesque "Promised Land" and a comically rustic "Rosalita." But everyone else paid his songs the highest compliment by proving them substantial enough to spin in so many worthy ways.
