Another beautiful day at the beach and another fun day of rehearsals by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
Several members of the E Street Band again stopped for photos and autographs.
The speakers were out again today, playing radio station 107.1 FM "The Breeze." A little bit of music on the lighter side but we could still make out many of the songs played.
Today's setlist:
1. Radio Nowhere
2. Lonesome Day
3. Gypsy Biker
4. Empty Sky
5. Girls In Their Summer Clothes
6. Promised Land
7. She's The One
8. The Rising
9. Last to Die
10. Long Walk Home
Band finished early today, about 12:30 p.m.
Little Steven came out and stopped and signed autographs and took pictures for everyone. About 50 people around and Steven took the time to make sure everyone was taken care of.
Steven continues to sign his autograph as "Stevie was here."
Steven was great throughout the rehearsals, always taking the time to pose for pictures or sign autographs.
Clarence Clemons also stopped to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Clarence had a cigar in his mouth and the "Big Man" looks great.
Roy Bittan did sign one autograph today, for a woman who had a poster signed by all of the E Street Band except Roy and Patti. As far as I know, Roy only signed the one today and one autograph one morning last week.
Garry Tallent also signed autographs today as did Soozie Tyrell.
Patti Scialfa was there today. She didn't stop to sign, but did wave to all the fans as she drove down the ramp.
Bruce left at 2:30 p.m. As he came out to his vehicle on the north side of Convention Hall there was five fans on the beach who shouted up to him. Bruce did come over and gave them a quick hello. He didn't sign anything. The fans wished him a Happy Birthday. Bruce's birthday is on Sunday.
Bruce then drove down the ramp and waved to the 50 or so fans who were gathered.
Also at rehearsals today were Dave Marsh and Eric Meola, the photographer who shot the "Born to Run" album cover.
As the rehearsals wind up, I just want to give a big thank you to Bruce's security team and the security at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
The entire group including Jerry Fox Sr., Jerry Fox Jr., Fred, Rex and all the others were extremely respectful to the fans the past two weeks.
When members of the band came out to sign autographs, they organized lines and made sure everything was orderly.
They are the best.
Hoop dat het ook op iTunes te horen is via een plug-in ofzo.quote:"E STREET RADIO" CHANNEL, DEDICATED TO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E-STREET BAND, RETURNS EXCLUSIVELY TO SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO

Nu maar wachten op de bootlegquote:My thoughts in no particluar order...
Show ended a little over an hour ago, Bruce and the boys (and girls) played for about two hours, since they didn't take the stage until around 8:35 PM. It was one of the shorter shows I've seen Bruce play with the E Street Band, not counting things like Amnesty tour, where he was sharing the stage. Overall, the band was fairly tite for a first show, though there were two songs, can't recall which, they seemed a little out of sorts, a measure off-key or sumthin', but I'm no musicologist.
Bruce was happy but businesslike, which is to be expected for a first show. Not much talkin' at all. He was most animated when playing guitar on a couple of the new tunes, like he was really trying to get the audience into the songs. He didn't do any 'acrobatics' - no jumping on the piano or wetting of his pants (NO, not THAT way) and sliding down into Clarence's waiting frame. Nothing like that occurred; though he did go over a couple of times and kinda half-hug the big man.
I was very surprised he did not play Magic. It is the title song, by Bruce's decision, and with its anti-administration context, I thought for sure he would have played it tonight. I still expect it in Hartford. Maybe he feels the band needs to rehearse it more.
My assigned seat was on the side of the stage, but with the stage (it appeared as though they were using the actual stage they will tour with) extending out so far, I decided to move to a spot where I stood standing in the back of the hall, so I wasn't as close to the stage, but I could see the band head on. Bruce commented about the lack of air conditioning in the place (once again, for those who recall The Rising shows) and I believe he was sweating a lot, though it was tough for me to see that (there were no video screens). Clarence, like all of us, is gettting older. I spoke with a guy after the show who thought there was no way the big man was gonna hold up throughout the whole tour. I hear that is one of Bruce's concerns as well.
Band was basically dressed in black and in 'regular' positions, as far as I can remember about prevous tours -- From left to right, up front, Clarence, Nils, Gary, Bruce, Stevie, Patti, a little further back, left to right, Danny, Max, Suzie, Roy. there was no horn section, nor any other musicians than regular ten mentioned. Nils, I thought, was kind of absent from show until encores, brief solo with Bruce on Thundercrack and again with Bruce and Patti on Darlington County.
It was interesting to watch the people who knew the words to the new songs. Some of them almost seemed to be 'showing off' as they danced and sang, turning around as if to see who was watching them sing the songs to these 'yet unreleased' ditties. Overall, he only played about seven new songs. Surprisingly he did not play Terry's Song, as I know some from the Asbury area who knew him personally were there tonight. If he didn't play it tonight, I wonder if he will ever play it in concert this tour. Hopefully tomorrow night.
I think the seven new songs, as to be expected for songs not even officially released yet, were the slowest part of the evening. Some seemed, IMHO, to go over flat. I thought of the new songs, Radio Nowhere, Last To Die and Long Walk Home had the most/best reaction from the audience. Though I am sure others will say they liked Girls in Their Summer Clothes, and Bruce obviously wants it to work, that song still doesn't grab me at all.
Storyteller Bruce was, for the most part, absent from the show.
Specific song notes:
Empty Sky - Even with its new arrangement it is still not a dancing song. Why the two ladies in front of me a section over were dancing like school girls to this song (mere familiarity?) is beyond me.
Something in the Night - Awesome, nuff said.
Night - Ditto
Promised Land - It was nice to see Bruce throw his harmonica to a small child who was atop an adult's shoulders after this song. As many of you know, Bruce truly seems to enjoy when youngsters are at the show and pointed to and smiled at this child during the song right before his harmonica solo. Bruce seemed quite happy playing this tune.
Livin' in the Future - Bruce tried to play off the energy of Night and Promised Land by going right into this new song. The audience bought his little trick, until he began his pre-written PSA about what the song was about -- politics and the things this current American administration has brought to us. What a kill joy. You could almost feel the energy immediately sapped out of the venue. The song was then played to a flat audience.
Candy's Room - Didn't get as excited about this tune as I used to. Still get a kick out of people who don't realize what it is until the first lyrics.
She's the One - Love it; wish it had extended intro.
Lonesome Day - Thought back to when I heard the tune for the first time ever at the exact same venue for a Rising rehearsal show. Made me misty eyed.
The Rising - Again got misty-eyed as the people stood up after the synthesizer opening. A little weird hearing this in the middle of a set and not opening the show. crowd was into it, as they were for Lonesome Day.
Last to Die - Very good live, as I thought it would be.
Thundercrack - I just heard Bruce Springsteen play Thundercrack with the E Street Band in Asbury Park. Need I say more? (Yes, I was dancing like a fool.)
Born to Run - I never get tired of this song and, for the third time in the evening, got misty-eyed as everyone's hands were raised for the extended solo right before the final verse. A spiritual moment. Bruce was totally into the crowd's response and really milked it. You could see he was once again enjoying himself on stage. Personally, while I know it is far too early to know for sure, I suspect none of the new songs will ever get the kind of reception, warmth, energy level as when he plays the 'gems' that give these E Street Band shows their legendary epic, spiritual and breath-takin', earth-shakin', history-makin' feel.
I wish he would have ended with Land of Hope and Dreams, not American Land, but I am not complaining.
