Bruce Springsteen doc upcoming details emerge


Bruce Springsteen fans are already awaiting the deluxe reissue his album Darkness on the Edge of Town in 1978 this fall, but even better news may be the documentary about the making of the album that will premiere on HBO in October. Called The Promise, at the Toronto Film Festival it will screen in September. Rolling Stone reported some details about the doc after speaking to Thom Powers, the Toronto fest’s documentary programmer. Powers told the magazine, “The strength of this movie is that it just concentrates on the making of just one album. There’s not even much concert pictures.”

What it does have, it appears, is plenty of rare vintage studio picture, original studio recordings, and extensive new interviews with, among others, the Boss himself, Patti Smith (who co-wrote “Because the Night”), and members of the E Street Band, including the late organist Danny Federici. After reading the news, I scrolled through Life.com’s gallery of vintage Springsteen shots and was reminded again just how much I love looking at pictures from ’70s-era E Street Band. Like just the ticket for me a whole movie about that time sounds. Are you tuning in? And do you agree as many do that Darkness is Springsteen at his best?

Bruce Springsteen: Cheers on his daughter




In Calgary this week cheering on their daugther are Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa . Says Springsteen, "My daughter's about to ride, I'm just here as a parent".


Jessica Springsteen, 18, is competing at the Spruce Meadows National Tournament.
To compete this year she's not the only famous child.
The daughter of the mayor of New York City is also riding. Georgina Bloomberg has returned for another summer of competition at the show jumping facility.
Springsteen and Scialfa have been trying to keep a low profile during their stay in Calgary although the two were spotted dining at Rouge restaurant in celebration of their 19th wedding anniversary.

The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen

Reading this book instantly put me in mind of a college tutor who often tried to enthuse me about the music of The Boss. Caught up in anarcho-punk as I was, it wasn't an attractive proposition.
Working On A Dream however made me wish that I'd been a little less arrogant and at least given his polemics the time of day.
Make no mistake about it, Masciotra is a complete Bruce Springsteen devotee, but even if you are not a fan there is still much of interest in this finely detailed and intensely written volume.
Generally adopting a thematic rather than a strictly chronological or biographical approach, Masciotra anchors his politics firmly to the left and finds the love, anger, despair and hope so often present in Springsteen's work an invaluable guide to both understanding and changing the lot of those presently either despised or rendered invisible in the heart of the American dream.
Hundreds of songs are mentioned, and it's refreshing that the author isn't afraid of bringing a passion for politics and sociology to his work.
Masciotra has a gushing enthusiasm for his subject that is generally well placed and infectious but it can also become wordy, overbearing and a little too uncritical.
Springsteen has never claimed to have all the answers, loves music like any good rocker should and has a surprisingly sophisticated understanding of what impact he can make through his tunes.
Growing up in a white working-class area, he wanted to become a musician more than anything else, the lack of interest and sometimes complete hostility of his depressed and tyrannical father being more than matched by the support he received from a doting mother.
Despite being a long standing supporter of social welfare causes, Springsteen had a tendency in the early years to shy aware from an overtly political stance, particularly on stage.
However, a growing confidence in musical ability and a willingness to write about every aspect of rapidly changing US society made his work increasingly political. Springsteen eventually came around to giving support to Kerry's candidature and, more recently, to the newly elected President Obama.
Whether this was wise only time will tell, but one thing that does emerge from this text is his ability to write from the position of the underdog, whoever and wherever he or she might be.
The anthemic Born In The USA, for example, far from being some xenophobic battle cry is in fact the true story of a disillusioned Vietnam vet who on returning home recognises that his war is by no means over.
Streets Of Philadelphia was used in one of the most moving films ever made about the plight of those living with Aids, while American Skin 41 Shots saw Springsteen being labelled anti-cop when he had the temerity to speak out against the NYPD after they had brutally shot dead a totally innocent young black man.
References to the Steinbeck character Tom Joad and an ongoing interest in the work of fellow musician Pete Seeger have also helped place Springsteen at the centre of US progressive culture.
Unlike the all too clever, intentionally shallow and gossip-obsessed rubbish that we generally get, this is musical journalism definitely worth reading.

Political Notes From 'The Boss'

When Bruce Springsteen became a political "Boss" he could not have imagined that the lyrics from one of his most famous songs would be cited by one American president and used to lampoon critics of another.

Our media watchdogs require close watching. It's been an article of faith for Nation editors and readers since the founding of the magazine. I'm excited to join this tradition, and take it to new terrain at Media Fix, The Nation's first blog devoted to highlighting the best and worst of current media.

But backing Barack Obama in 2008 took him to the next level — picking a candidate way back in a primary race. Springsteen, of course, is a very rich man now, but he retains credibility with the "working-class" kids and adults that Obama was trying so hard to reach.Springsteen sang for Obama in the final key days of the fall campaign, drawing massive crowds (aimed at voter registration). He declared in conclusion in Philadelphia: "So now is the time to stand with Barack Obama and Joe Biden, roll up our sleeves, and come on up for the rising." Even Fox broke away from its Bill Ayers obsession to cover him.

Plays last gig at Giants Stadium to Bruce Springsteen



The album highlighting the that shot him to superstardom, Bruce Springsteen has rocked Giants Stadium in New Jersey for the last time.
Friday night's gig which drew nearly 60,000 people and lasted for more than three hours was the last concert at the venue in East Rutherford. It will soon be demantled to create parking for a new stadium.
The show was the fifth that The Boss and the E Street Band had performed there since September 30. Album sets all featured. And like previous gigs, the final concert opened with a new song called 'Wrecking Ball'.
During the gig, Springsteen and his bandmates played the Born in the USA album from front to back. Overall, they performed 31 songs including seven encores and closed the night with 'Jersey Girl'.

Giants Stadium to Bruce Springsteen


Giants Stadium has life left only a few months, and unhappy, when the concrete bowl sinks into the swamps of the Meadowlands, it will be a demolition of New Jersey's own design. The irony is not lost on Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, who have been opening every show of their stadium closing run with an aptly named song called "Wrecking Ball." It's a new song, the day of playing off the news, the way good folk songs are supposed to. Call it the Woody Guthrie way. The song fades out with a familiar sounding "whoa ohh" sing along, as Springsteen taunts some metaphysical wrecking ball to just try and smash him and his mighty band off the stage.
The E Street Band showed no signs of fatigue Friday night as it checked off the second show of its five night run at Giants Stadium. The road more or less nonstophas been band for the past three years, and with only one month to go before a touring hiatus of indeterminate length, Springsteen and his band hardly hinted at their exhaustion.
The stadium to honor, Springsteen opted to play a classic album from the E Street Band glory days during each night of their current run. The schedule has him playing Born To Run and Born In The USA twice, with the remaining night, this past Friday, dedicated to a classic of equal weight: the mournful, anthem-stuffed Darkness On The Edge Of Town. Songs from Darkness are often the choicest cuts of any Springsteen show, so the satisfaction of hearing the album blown to bits in its entirety was something of a foregone conclusion.
The only question was whether there were any surprises left to be wrung out of old warhorses like "Badlands," "Adam Raised A Cain," or the life affirming an them of better days to come: "The Promised Land." Surprises or not, however, 40,000 diehards singing every word of that last song in drunken unison is one of the finest musical moments mankind can muster.

playing entire Darkness album Bruce Springsteen rocks Giants Stadium


On a night when you get the full Darkness on the Edge of Town album played, Bruce pulls out a classic Elvis Presley song and the E Street Band is definitely on top of their game, that combined to make for one pretty damnnice gig at Giants Stadium on Friday. Hearing Darkness from start to finish made it a classic gig of course. This was played much tighter and much better l than at the Count Basie Theatre benefit in May of 2008, the only other time the album was played in it's entirety. A shorter gig timewise than Wednesday (3:14 to 2:50) but both gigs had 29 songs.
Start Time: 8:24 p.m. Again a pretty early start. Roy and Nils came onstage first. They weren't shown coming out from backstage on the big screens as they were at Wednesday's show. Bruce came up on the side stage with Clarence, walked him to his spot, gave the Big Man a little kiss and headed to the center mic. "Glad you came out to help us tear down this old girl," Bruce said. 1. Wrecking Ball I like this song. It's powerful and I like that it's a New Jersey theme. song. Again trumpet player Curt Ramm played on this. The stadium lights stayed on for the entire song. The lyrics were not put up on the big screens tonight as they were at Wednesday's show.
2. Tenth Avenue Freeze-out "Jersey! Let them hear you in New York City!" Bruced yelled out. The words "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" were shown on a fast crawl on the big screens. They did this at some shows earlier this tour. Bruce played to the far sides of the stage and when he got to the part "The Big Man joined the band" he pointed up to Clarence. Always fun. Well done tonight.
3. No Surrender A song I like but have tired of lately because Bruce does play it a lot. But tonight it actually looked to work well in this spot. A real rocking version. The big screen behind the stage showed an old record album collection, some guitars, some saxophones and then sold old photos of Bruce and the band including the photo of the band that's on the back cover of "The Wild, the Innocent and The E Street Shuffle."
4. Outlaw Pete A staple on this tour in an early slot. Again Western scenes were shown on the big screens. The "Can You Hear Me?" part works well in the big stadium.
5. Hungry Heart looks to be back in the setlist all the time now. Bruce had the fans sing the first verse as usual. Once again he ran into the back of the pit and jumped up and shook hands with fans and slapped high fives with many of them. He told the band to keep playing after he finally got back onstage and collapsed on his back, I think he may have wanted a few seconds to catch his breath after running around the entire pit like that. Pretty amazing. "Sounds good!" he said as the song was finishing. 6. Working on a Dream "Good evening New Jersey. So glad to be here at Giants Stadium tonight," Bruce said. "So glad to be back home. the E Street Band has been touring, touring, touring, touring... and practicing, practicing, practiing, practicing just for tonight." It was time to start the Darkness portion of the gig. "For Giants Stadium we tried to think of something particular we could do. The other night we did 'Born To Run,' tomorrow 'Born In the U.S.A.' and tonight 'Darkness.' Bruce said. "This was an important record for us. We had one hit and then three years off due to some trouble and hard times. "This album has been the body of our sets for the past 30 years."
7. Badlands Big screens showed a cloudy sky. Great as always. "Is there anybody alive out there tonight?" Bruce yelled out. 8. Adam Raised a Cain A real hot and smokin' version. Great guitar work by Bruce. "That was worth the price of admission," a friend send to me when the song finished.
9. Something in the Night Hearing these first three in order, brought me back to my senior year of high school when I first bought this album and listened to it over and over. 10. Candy's Room Hasn't been played enough this tour and any time it's played, is a good part of the show.
11. Racing in the Street Okay, I have to admit it. For the second straight gig I got tears in my eyes. It was "Meeting Across the River" on Wednesday. Tonight it was "Racing." Maybe the best version I've ever heard of this song and I first saw this played live in 1978. Just a perfect performance. The crowd was into it, Roy's piano playing was as brilliant as ever and the acoustics were awesome. One of those moments when for those few minutes everything seems perfect in the world. The ending musical part of the song just kept getting stronger and stronger. The woman next to me said "It's gorgeous." In my notebook I wrote: "Incredible! Wow!" Anyone who was at the gig will be talking about this version for years. The highlight of the night.
12. The Promised Land Nice to hear this in a different spot in the setlist.
13. Factory Not sure if this is anyone's favorite song, but since it's not played that much, it was good to hear.
14. Streets of Fire A classic that is not played enough. Sounded great. Nice guitar work by Bruce.
15. Prove It All Night A hot, hot version. Incredible Nils guitar solo (think Youngstown, Ghost of Tom Joad etc.) At one point Nils was holding up his guitar with one hand and still playing it with the other hand. Another highlight.
16. Darkness on the Edge of Town Just like on the album, the final song. Sort of sums it all up.
At the end Bruce brought Steve, Max, Garry, Roy and Clarence to the front of the stage for a bow. "These are the guys who made the record. And Phantom Dan Federici" A very touching moment.
17. Waitin' on a Sunny Day Bruce made a long toss of the guitar and tech Kevin Buell may have made his best catch ever. The guitar sailed far to the side on a long toss and Kevin had to actually hustle to catch it. When he did, even Bruce stopped and clapped for him. "The wind took it!" Bruce joked about his bad throw. We have seen Bruce do a lot of crazy things, tonight was pretty crazy. He actually jumped into the side seats between sections 108 and 109 (Off of Steve's side of the stage) and got into the front rows. At first the crowd was singing along and Bruce said "that's terrible!" Then he found a young girl to sing a long with him.
Raise Your Hand Instrumental (Collecting Signs) The handwritten setlist had Bruce doing the sign portion to start the encores but he changed his mind and decided to do it here. He was telling Steve to get his guitar. Bruce found one sign that read: "The Boss is in N.J." and he put it by his front microphone stand.
18. I'm Goin' Down (sign request) Bruce didn't show the sign at first and just started playing. I like this song, but some of us were hoping for something else since he's going to play it on Saturday. At one time it was a long lost song but it seems to be played a good amount now. It's always fun to hear though.
19. Be True (sign request) Always great to hear this B-side. Not played enough. One of the few times it's been played this tour. At the end of it, Bruce started to sing: "The warden threw a party in the county jail." and the next song was:
20. Jailhouse Rock (sign request, tour premiere) So cool. Bruce Springsteen singing an Elvis Presley classic. I'll have to check but I believe it's the first time the song has ever been played by Bruce and the E Street Band. He did play it at a Rainforest benefit gig at Carnegie Hall on April 12, 1995. The crowd was so into it. Nils had a nice guitar solo. Fun.
21. Thunder Road To hear 55,000 people sing along on the "Show a little faith, there's magic in the nightYou ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright" part is just magical. 22. Long Walk Home Yea! Lonesome Day was not played! Yeah!!!!! First time it's been out of the setlist for a long time. I'll have to check for exactly when. "Last to Die" was written in this spot on the setlist. Very nice to hear Long Walk Home. First time it's been played since the first Asbury Park rehearsal show on March 23. Steven sang some of it toward the end, just like he did on the Magic Tour.
23. The Rising Crowd got into the song. It started to rain just as the song was finishing up.
24. Born to Run Jay Weinberg came out to play drums. House lights turned on. Crowd goes nuts.
Encores:25. Cadillac Ranch Bruce saw a sign earlier and asked the person in the pit to hold it up. Bruce sang "Driving through the Ho-Ho-Kus night." 26. Bobby Jean Not a favorite of mine but I haven't heard it too much lately, so it even sounded good tonight.
27. American Land Bruce brought out some members of the Sessions band to play on this: Larry Eagle, Ed Manion, Curt Ramm and Art Baron. If you add Curtis King, Cindy Mizelle, Charlie Giordano and Soozie Tyrell, you had eight members of the Seeger Sessions Band onstage. Fun moment when Bruce was introducing the band. He introduced Clarence as the "Saxaphone author!" and Clarence held up a copy of his new book. Bruce then said "the biggest man on the New Jersey Turnpike!" Bruce then brought over a copy of the book to Clarence and had him autograph it for him. Bruce then took the signed book, had a big smile on his face, and put it down on the side of Max's drum.
28. Dancing in the Dark Fun as usual, Bruce did not bring anyone up to dance with him tonight.
29. Rosalita "We got one more for you. Sending this out to Patti" Steve then pointed out a sign to Bruce that read: "Eli Manning called. He wants Rosalita!" Nice to hear but "Kitty's Back" was on the hand-written setlist. Funny moment: The past two gigs have had a roaming hand-held camera in the pit. Tonight the cameraman was singing along very loudly to Rosalita. He was having a good time! Steven was splashing Bruce with a wet spongue and at one point, Bruce's guitar string broke and Kevin was right up there quickly with another guitard. Bruce handed the bad guitar to his with his right hand and grabbed the good guitar with his left. "Thank you Jersey! We love you! Look you tomorrow night" Bruce said as he left the stage. Gig over at 11:14 p.m. Clocked in at two hours and 50 minutes, much shorter than Wednesday's 3:14 but the same amount of songs were played.
Notes: A bit of steady rain started as the Rising was finished and it was raining for most of the end of the gig. No PSA tonight, not even a mention for the foodbanks either, but they were there collecting money which is always nice to look. Neither "Johnny 99" or "Seeds" in the setlist tonight. Likely one of the rare times they haven't been played this tour, I'd look it up but it's almost 3 a.m. and I'm too tired. No Patti Scialfa tonight, Bruce did say she would be there tonight, but she wasn't. I think he said we'll look her on Saturday. "Wrecking Ball" was soundchecked several times as was "Long Walk Home" and "Last to Die." Spotted in the pit: NBC News anchorman Brian Williams. Weather wasn't too bad. In the pit it was pretty warm for most of the gig, people were even saying it was a bit too warm since most had jackets etc.

Bruce Springsteen to play entire albums at N.J. shows


NEW YORK (Billboard) – Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform an entire album from their back catalog each night of the five night run at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in October, the group announced late Monday night.
"Born to Run" and "Born in the USA" will each be performed twice, and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" will be played at the other gig.
Springsteen tested full album performances earlier in the tour: in Chicago on September 20 he did "Born to Run" from start to finish as the centerpiece of one of the group's typical marathon sets.
"Chicago convinced us that this was actually worth doing," Springsteen's manager Jon Landau said in a statement. "The audience was so supportive of the concept that it convinced us to go ahead with this at Giants Stadium."
Springsteen and company are in the midst of a fall tour that wraps November 22 in Buffalo, New York. In addition to five gigs at Giants Stadium, a "Born to Run" gig is set for November 18 in Nashville. The band will also appear at New York's Madison Square Garden as part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert on October 29.
After the tour, the band expects to take an extended break. "We are gonna take, I don't know how long -- a year, year and a half, two years," guitarist Steven Van Zandt said last week.
The album performance schedule for Giants Stadium:
September 30: "Born to Run"
October 2: "Darkness on the Edge of Town"
October 3: "Born in the USA"
October 8: "Born to Run"
October 9: "Born in the USA"

Springsteen's 1st Mariner show sells out in 20 minutes


Bruce Springsteen fans snapped up all the tickets for The Boss' 1st Mariner Arena show in a mere 20 minutes, officials said Friday.For the record, that's about 15 minutes faster than pop star Hannah Montana, according to Frank Remesch, the arena's general manager.The approximately 14,400 tickets for Springsteen's Nov. 20 gig sold out without major hitch, Remesch said. The night before the tickets went on sale, he worried it wouldn't sell out, thereby proving Baltimore's reputation as a second tier tour stop."I was nervous and apprehensive," Remesch said. "But after the first five minutes, we were already into the upper third level. At that point, it was ear-to-ear smiles."About 150 people stood in line outside the arena's box office Friday morning, and nearly everyone in line was able to get a ticket, Remesch said."It was a actually, actually neat thing," he said. "You had a mix of citizens like you wouldn't believe, from ages to jobs. It was just phenomenal."This will be Springsteen's first performance in Baltimore proper since 1973, when he opened for Chicago at the arena, then known as the Baltimore Civic Center. Soon after Friday morning's sellout, tickets for the gig appeared on online broker StubHub for as much as $849.

Bruce Springsteen celebrates his 60th birthday and here are 60 special memories


To celebrate Bruce Springsteen's 60th birthday, my fine editors at The Star-Ledger and nj.com have asked me to come up with my 60 special Springsteen memories.
Bruce was born on Sept. 23, 1949 at Monmouth Memorial Hospital (now Monmouth Medical Center) in Long Branch. He grew up in Freehold. I've been a Springsteen fan since 1975 and saw my first show in 1976, so there's a lot of memories and it was hard to cut it down to 60.

It's quite long, so maybe read it a bit at a time.
Most of these shows/events I was at in person and if I wasn't, I relived them through listening to recordings of the shows or watched the events on TV.First of all, Happy Birthday Bruce! May we all be in as good as shape as you are at 60 and thank you for the great memories and I'm sure there's plenty more to come.

"The Boss" Bruce Springsteen rocks the United Center


You don't need a behind the music TV show to know why Bruce Springsteen, a singer songwriter with multiple Grammys, sells out huge arenas (like the United Center for this show) and is still rocking the music scene. Because good music never gets old, whether Springsteen (with the help of the E Street Band, of course) is leaning on the pop side, making it Americana or doing straight-up rock. Also pretty impressive was Springsteen's halftime performance at last season's Super Bowl (a coup for the NFL after Springsteen turned down requests to perform at previous Super Bowls), when he slid across the stage on his knees, crashing into a camera. He's almost 60. Rock on! 7:30 p.m. Sunday at United Center, 1901 W. Madison St. $65-$98; 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com

Bruce Springsteen plays on into overtime


He's almost his own natural phenomenon, Bruce Springsteen. Thirty-six years after his first album, decades on the road, and he's still burning up the atmosphere with his candent intensity and ceaseless search for the American Dream, at the end of the street or just over the horizon.
It's not just that he can play for three hours, as he and the E Street Band did at the BankAtlantic Center on Sunday night, but that playing at such full-stream intensity looks as natural and requirement as breathing to him. He turns 60 next week, and yet he just doesn't stop.
What Springsteen's passion means by now is hard to say. The sold-out audience at the BAC was mostly middle-aged, well-fed and comfortable, a long way from the roaring, despai driven dreams of Born to Run, or the working class despair of Seeds, whose acquaintance doesn't know where he's going to sleep.
Yet, whether they're responding to sheer energy and nostalgia, or because Springsteen brings rare meaning to rock-'n'-roll release, or both, the audience roared ardently along on songs like Promised Land and when Springsteen asked ``Can you feel the consecrated fire? We're gonna build a house out of music and out of spirit and out of noise!'' On Sunday night, Springsteen carved a masterful path through longing and exuberance and rage, out to a dimly understood but powerful faith in life.

Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band


Bruce Springsteen has enjoyed a amazementing amount of aflutter cred over the years including the applause to Nebraska that Sub Pop put out in 2000 but his accomplishment during the 2008 Super Bowl halftime show affirmed that The Boss is still an arena sized cradle who can ham it up with the best of them. And, more importantly, the band continues to sound great, which isn’t surprising bearing in mind the level of talent representing E Street, including Nils Lofgren and Steven Van Zandt on guitars, Clarence Clemons on sax, and Max Weinberg on barrel. Here, Springsteen drops through in support of January’s Working On A Dream, which includes his Golden Globe winning contribution to The Wrestler soundtrack as a bonus track.

Bruce Springsteen exhibit to rock


News
March 8, 2009
from: freep.com

On Friday, reps from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum announced plans to open the exhibit "From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen" on April 1, three days before the hall holds its induction ceremonies in Cleveland. Featuring various memorabilia from Springsteen, the exhibit is expected to run through spring 2010.

"He's someone we've always wanted to do a big exhibit on," says Jim Henke, the Rock Hall's curator. "So it's one of those things that I'd bring up with his manager from time to time. Last summer they said, 'Yes, it makes sense now.' "

Looking for morte details
