Bruce Springsteen heeft dinsdagavond flink de spot gedreven met de organisatie achter zijn abrupt afgekapte concert in Londen. De microfoon van The Boss werd zaterdag dichtgedraaid in verband met een avondklok die geluidsoverlast moet beperken. Het concert dat hij dinsdag gaf in Dublin zat vol met melige verwijzingen naar het incident.

Springsteen opende zijn optreden door op het podium een enorme schakelaar om te zetten, schrijft de BBC. Vervolgens zette hij de laatste minuut van Twist And Shout in, het Beatles-nummer dat hij zaterdag met Paul McCartney opvoerde toen het geluid werd uitgezet.

Later hield de Amerikaanse rocker een bord omhoog waarop stond: alleen The Boss bepaalt wanneer de stekker eruit mag. Tegen het einde van het concert kwam iemand verkleed als een Engelse politieagent het podium op, die probeerde Springsteen te arresteren.

De organisator van het Springsteen-concert waar zaterdag abrupt een einde aan kwam verdedigde zich door te stellen dat behalve de avondklok ook zorg om 'het welzijn en de veiligheid van het publiek' een rol speelde. De Britse variant van de Arbeidsinspectie noemt dat echter onzin.

Prachtig nummer idd. Ben zo blij dat ik hem in 2009 in Turijn heb mogen meemaken. Maar als ik eerlijk moet zijn zou ik blijer zijn met een Lost In The Flood.

Wrecking Ball Tour by the Numbers

We are heading home with 51 shows behind us; 11 states, 15 countries, 33 stadium shows and festivals and over 1,650,000 people. And now our US/Canadian outdoor stadium run is about to kick-off… This is a note of acknowledgement to all the men and women that are or have been a part of this UK/European leg of our tour.

A huge thank you to the bus and rig drivers, the caterers, the shops and offices of our vendors … you’ve gotten us everywhere on time, while feeding us incredibly delicious food and keeping us afloat. Thank you for being some of the best we’ve ever had!

We are over 100 people working and traveling together on this tour, as well as the hundreds more we deal with in venues from every city we travel to. We are all part of what may be the biggest and best group of musicians traveling on the road today, and we end each night knowing there are a lot of fans going home with memories they’ll talk about for the rest of their lives. So, thank you to Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band and to all the fans who are responsible for us to have this great job. The bar has always been set pretty high and we’re hoping to push it even higher.

Talking about what it takes to run a tour, this is what we’re made of … everyone can count how many people are up on the stage, but how many others are involved with running this tour?

Our base story starts with 22 trailers for band gear, sound, lights, video, wardrobe, dressing room needs, and our traveling stage. There is 1 catering trailer, 2 generator trailers, 1 power trailer of cabling and 12 to 17 mainstage, mix and delay tower trailers for each city. In Europe, we have 4 main systems based out of Belgium, 2 Spanish systems and 3 different systems for our Nordic region. At each stadium we have between 6 and 9 trailers of field cover, 3 trailers of barricades, and 3 to 5 trailers of temporary chain link sections, bike rack, and other panels. Adding to that is at least 3 more for golf carts, canopy tents, turnstiles, safety mats and other security items we need for the site. Not included in this is what comes in to the stadium with concessions and BEER. And, add to all this 10 to 12 trailers of Port-o-potties. A lot to wrangle during the load-in days and a mass exodus starting about 10 minutes after the show ends.

We utilize the largest video screen system on the road today. In addition to our camera positions (that everyone can see) we also have robo-cameras controlled by 2 crew personnel from our switching tent and server box. We have 21st century lighting which still enables us to have the ability to make things feel like a club setting. Our traveling mainstage is state-of-the-art utilizing a magnet system that helps make the connections quicker and safer for the team assembling with an air conditioning system placed under the stage.

Now to the actual people: we start with a core of 25 people comprising management, band, road logistics, production management, security coordination, hotel and site coordination. Now add-in 3 riggers, 4 carpenters, 2 barricade handlers, 5 for wardrobe, hair & makeup, dressing rooms and catering direction, 10 band technicians, 9 audio, 9 electricians, 9 video crew and 4 generator master electricians, and 10 catering crew to get all these people fed. Add to that the 25 plus truck drivers and 6 bus drivers!

At each venue, we interact with 30 or so promoter personnel who help with venue management, ticketing, runners and local drivers. Add to that the traveling main stage crew of 15 plus and a local crew of 100 plus to get the venue up and running for the show. We use 20 crew for “show call” which includes many of our truck drivers on spotlights and a security force of 120 plus, with 80 or more venue ushers and ticket takers. There are 50 or more venue clean-up people, over 50 local police and other authorities and over 25 EMT/medical personnel. We then add even more local crew to load-out based on venue size and distance from the trucks. Of course, a quiz will follow!

Thank you to everyone who has worked on this tour and all the fans for joining us!

- George Travis

Bruce & The E Street Band to play Rock In Rio 2013

It is confirmed: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band will play Rock In Rio 2013!

Bruce & The E Street Band are back to Brazil to play at the Rock In Rio festival on September 15, 2013, 25 years after the only concert of his career in the country at the Palmeiras Stadium.

The only other time Bruce Springsteen has performed in Latin America was during the Human Rights Now! World tour, between September and October 1988. Along with Peter Gabriel, Sting, Youssou N’Dour and Tracy Chapman, Bruce led a group of artists for the celebration of 40 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 20 concerts were held in 15 countries in favor of Amnesty International. Back then, the only Latin American countries that hosted the concerts were Costa Rica, Brazil and Argentina. On September 13, 1988, San Jose, the Costa Rican capital was home for the first and only Bruce Springsteen performance. The Argentinians were lucky to have hosted two concerts of the tour, one in Mendoza, on September 14, and another in Buenos Aires on the following day. And in Brazil, Parque Antártica, in São Paulo, hosted the event. It was his first and only concert in the country. The show started with an a capella performance of “Get Up, Stand Up” by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh featuring Bruce, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman and Youssou N’Dour.

Rock in Rio Brazil is back to Rio de Janeiro on September 13, 2013 and will continue on the 14, 15, 19, 20, 21 and 22, at Cidade do Rock, in Rio de Janeiro, (Parque dos Atletas — Av. Salvador Allende, s/n). Ticket on-sale information will be shared as soon as it’s available
