    FOR SALE: BRUCE’S HUGE LITTLE CRIB


    It’s “the best darn piece of rock and roll memorabilia that $299,000 can buy,” says the real estate agent with the exclusive listing.

    The tiny bungalow in the West End section of Long Branch where a scrawny young Bruce Springsteen wrote the title track of his career-making ‘Born to Run‘ LP is up for sale.

    According to Springsteen aficionado Stan Goldstein of the Star-Ledger, Springsteen lived in the house, at 7-1/2 West End Court, in 1974 and 1975, the year “Born to Run” was released.

    There, Springsteen wrote his third album’s anthemic title song as well as “Thunder Road” and “Backstreets,” Goldstein reported earlier this year, citing a DVD released in connection with a 30th-anniversary repackaging of the LP in 2005. In the film, Springsteen appears outside the cottage reminiscing about his time there.

    Realtor Susan McLaughlin of Keller Williams Realty tells oRBIt that the one-story shotgun-style house is “bigger than it looks at 828 square feet.” With two bedrooms and one bath, it features high ceilings and five rooms, she says. It’s also just 100 feet away from a path down to the beach and zoned commercial-residential.

    But oh, what a pedigree the 25-foot by 95-foot lot carries. In one of the home’s bedrooms, as well as on the tiny porch, Springsteen is said to have spent hours writing and polishing the songs that landed him on the covers of Time and Newsweek the same week in October 1975 and lofted him to rock stardom.

    McLaughlin says comps on other nearby cottages show a value of $250,000. So the Springsteen premium is set, for now, at $49,000.

    Want a walk-through? You’d better be a serious shopper. McLaughlin is showing the house by appointment only

    E Street Band Taking A Hiatus

    By Phil Gallo / LiveDaily Contributor
    Bruce Springsteen [ tickets ] and the E Street Band are expected to take one or two years off after performing 26 shows booked though Nov. 22 in Buffalo, NY.

    "We are going to take a break," E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. "I don't know how long, one year, year-and-a-half, two years off. This is a good time to see us. We may not be as pretty, [but] we seem to be getting better in funny ways.
    "You never know. This could be be the last tour. We do every show like it's our last show anyway."

    Subtly, Van Zandt was pushing the idea that the current tour was a must-see for fans who have put off purchasing tickets. While Springsteen and the E Street Band have sold more than 2 million tickets this year, shows have not sold out as quickly as in the past. Currently, 17 shows--among them the five final concerts at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ--have tickets available. Two shows at Madison Square Garden go on sale Friday (9/18); concerts in Washington, DC, and Baltimore go on sale Sept. 25.

    One of the highlights of the current tour has been a "stump the band" segment in which the band plays a cover. Fans submit requests by making signs that Springsteen collects and sorts through onstage.

    So far, the band has not been stumped.

    "We may mess the song up a bit," Van Zandt says. "We're kind of familiar with all these crazy songs. We may do something a bit unusual from time to time. Nothing too obscure, too schlocky. Honestly, I can say we have not had that train wreck yet. I'm knocking on wood."

    FANCLUB ONLY SHOW ! 100 people !


    Bruce to join Elvis Costello on Spectacle

    Backstreets contest will get 100 lucky fans inside

    Big news: as Elvis Costello begins taping episodes for another season of SPECTACLE, his hit talk/music show on the Sundance Channel, it's just been announced that Bruce Springsteen will be one of his guests for Season Two.

    SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH... fuses the best elements of talk and music television and invites viewers to enjoy an intimate conversation between the host and his guests, punctuated by rare musical performances by Costello, his guests, and a wide variety of musicians. Season One guests included Sir Elton John, Tony Bennett, John Mellencamp, The Police and President Bill Clinton.

    The Springsteen episode tapes a week from tonight, next Friday evening, September 25, when Bruce will join Elvis on stage in front of a live audience in New York City, just two days after his 60th birthday. This isn't a concert, per se -- Costello's show focuses as much or more on talk as it does on music. It should be a special evening, the sort of thing we, as fans, have never seen before.

    And more big news: Backstreets is helping get fans in the door.

    We'll have 100 tickets to give away to fans who would like to be part of the audience for this special, one-time-only event, to be awarded by random drawing.



    Before you submit your entry, please read the following important conditions.

    You must be at least 18 years of age to attend.

    Tickets are non-transferrable: Each contest winner will receive two tickets, one for themselves and one for a guest. All tickets will be Will Call only. Contest winners will need to bring ID on the day of the taping to pick up their tickets; the name on the ID must match the name on your contest entry. Tickets are free, and may not be bought or sold.

    One entry per person, please: multiple entries will be deleted.

    Showtime: The SPECTACLE taping will be taking place in an intimate theater in Uptown Manhattan, on Friday, September 25. Doors open at 7:00 pm and will close prompty at 7:45, for an 8:00 pm show time. There will be no admittance after 7:45, with no exceptions. If work or life would interfere with you being there on time, please refrain from entering the contest to give another fan a chance.

    Contest winners must be able to be in Manhattan on short notice: We'll be contacting winners by email by Tuesday, September 22 at the latest. We know fans will be willing to come from far and wide... but if you wouldn't be able to make it to New York City on such short notice, again, please don't throw your hat in the ring -- it's our goal to make sure we get as many fans as possible into those seats.



    Entering the drawing
    If all of the above sounds just fine to you and you'd like to try for two free tickets, entering our drawing is simple. Well, you do have to answer one trivia question:


    Name a song written by Bruce Springsteen that Elvis Costello has recorded and officially released.


    To enter, simply send an email to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:spectacle@backstreets.com">spectacle@backstreets.com</a><!-- e --> with your answer as the subject line of the email.

    Please also be sure to include the following information in the body of the email:


    · Your name (as it appears on your ID, for ticket pickup at will call)
    · Your age
    · Your email address
    · Your phone number
    · Your guest's name (if known)


    *Please take the time to make sure your email is complete; if any of this information is not provided, your entry will be considered incomplete and not be entered into the drawing.
    *Only emails with the correct answer to the trivia question will be entered into the drawing.
    *Send your email to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:spectacle@backstreets.com">spectacle@backstreets.com</a><!-- e -->



    Your entry must be received by 10 a.m. on Monday, September 21. Backstreets will hold the drawing that day, randomly selecting 50 winners of two tickets each (determined by random number generator). All winners will be notified via email by Tuesday, September 22 at the latest. They'll receive additional information about show logistics at that time. We'll post a notice on our news page at Backstreets.com on Tuesday, once all winners have been notified.

    Great shout out in Seattle followed by dedication of The Who's "The Real Me" to The Boss. I've seen TRM live several times , between The Who and PJ , and the version I witnessed Tuesday was the best I've seen since I had the honor of watching The Who do it in Philly in 1973. A kick ass version that would've had the boss smiling ear to ear .... and joining in. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOSS !!! Looking forward to seeing him twice (10/14 and 10/15) at the Spectrum.

    I'm going on a "Born in the USA" night, but I wish I were going on a "Born to Run" night...Oh well. I guess this is their way of selling any remaining tickets, people will want to be there on a certain night to hear X played (apart from 10/9 the last night).

    Bruce Springsteen to play full albums at Giants Stadium
    By Jay Lustig/The Star-Ledger
    September 28, 2009, 8:21PM

    Bruce Springsteen has re-written the script for his upcoming concerts at Giants Stadium.

    Each of the five shows he and his E Street Band will present will feature one of his classic albums with all the songs played, in order, as well as an assortment of material from other albums. The schedule is:

    Sept. 30: "Born to Run"
    Oct. 2: "Darkness on the Edge of Town"
    Oct. 3: "Born in the USA"
    Oct. 8: "Born to Run"
    Oct. 9: "Born in the USA"

    Springsteen first performed at Giants Stadium in 1985, as part of his "Born in the USA Tour." The Oct. 9 show will be his last concert there, as well as the last concert there, period. The stadium will be torn down to create parking space for a new stadium that is being built at the Meadowlands.

    In Chicago, Bruce began with a varied set list, performed the album portion of the show in the middle of the concert, and continued the show through its grand finale. Said long time manager Jon Landau, "Chicago convinced us that this was really worth doing. The audience was so supportive of the concept that it convinced us to go ahead with this at Giants Stadium."

    While Bruce and the band performed Born to Run and Darkness last year in Red Bank, the complete Born in the U.S.A. in sequence will be a concert first.
