Bruce Springsteen

Found this, never heard it before. Different. Love the end of the bridge transition into the final verse.

Watching Hyde Park has raised one question.

Why the f*** did we not get Johnny 99?

WOAH! Very different, that's awesome. Man there was some interesting stuff done on the Tom Joad tour.

We did. Melbourne1 and HR1.

This is well worth watching.

Got it at 1st Brisbane show as well. It was song 12 sandwiched between a great Murder Incorporated ( where Tom starred) and Because the Night ( where Nils starred).

 

[DrVanNostrand]

**** this is good. Sounds like a completely different song.

 

[Cruyff14]

Was listening to Born To Run today. And it took me back.

****ING WOW.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Surely there should be a Bruce Springsteen sub-board?

 

[Cruyff14]

Seriously, this is ****ing perfect.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

This is bullshit, look what Norway got last night...

Pre-show acoustic set:
This Hard Land
All That Heaven Will Allow
The Fever (OMFFFFGGGGGG *drool* .... started as solo piano, the piano ****ed up and he finished on acoustic guitar)
Growin' Up



Find me another major international performer who does this....


Elvis cover as part of the main set


And no videos yet but it seems the show opened with Van Zandt doing the song he performed in the 5th episode of Lilyhammer (which is a great show). Groovy song too.

 

[Cruyff14]

Amazing! 6 days lining up, just crazy!

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Yeah, I read about ppl lining up on Friday on fb and thought oh show must be Saturday night. Nope, Monday. Madness.

 

[Cruyff14]

Glad this has come back to life, let us bask in this thread's glory again!

Great quality vid of The Fever and Growin Up here. European fans are amazing.

 

[jpkennedy]

Was listening to Born To Run today. And it took me back.

******* WOW.

There's me...playing Bruce Springsteen's guitar

 

[DrVanNostrand]

European fans are amazing.

Really? I'm reading nothing but negative stuff about the Oslo crowd in various places on the net.

Spain/Italy ftw.

 

[paddy18]

Seriously, this is ******* perfect.

I've seen quite a few comments where you talk about the magic of the bridge in Backstreets (and rightly so), but the bridge in SITN nearly tops it....not quite, but close. Great, great, great song.

 

[paddy18]

I'm finding it quite distressing to think that Bruce is playing somewhere and I'm not there to see it. I was nearly over the withdrawals, but have now relapsed big time.

However, I could do without that godawful opening number of Steve's. What a shit tune!

The bridge in Backstreets is magnificent.

Yes, I agree. The breakdown is brilliant. Max's drum reminiscent of a heartbeat, and one of my favourite segments of music ever when Bruce plays those notes at the end of the guitar and Max rumbles away. Brilliant.

 

[Cruyff14]

Epic. Again, great quality.

The quality of that link is ****en brilliant.

And the whole floor area was a pit, not like in Oz where they sold seats for most of the floor, plus lost space as needed walkway to get off elevated platform. Probably charged less in Norway.

But that first concert in Oslo was pretty dam good.

- Follow That Dream – “Originally by Elvis Presley, from his 1962 EP Follow That Dream. Written by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman. Totally rearranged by Bruce Springsteen: originally faster, Bruce slows it down giving it a dramatic pace. Also lyrics are partially different.

[RussellEbertHandball]

I was hoping he would do For You in Oz. On the first night in Oslo he played it on Piano solo. Think its only the second time I have seen the piano version. Takes a bit of getting used to.

 

[Cruyff14]

RussellEbertHandball For You is much better on piano.

I am smashing Prove It 78 intro lately, ****ing magic.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

The first time I heard a piano version of For You, I didn't even recognise it. Would have been the Hammersmith '75 version. I was just thinking "WTF is this awful cover. Skip." Obviously I have since changed my opinion.

Good to see the Eurotrash aren't getting High Hopes. Let's hope that gem stays exclusive for us.
