Hier alvast wat rehearsal-verslagen:

8/4:

Bruce and the Seeger Sessions band finished up a fourth straight day of
rehearals today at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park.
I didn't make it down there to the afternoon but some other fans filled
me in on what happened in the morning.

They started playing at 9:55 a.m. and the morning session consisted on
them working on some "Bruce" songs.

1. You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch).
Someone told me the song had lyrics from Open All Night and State
Trooper in it. Including the line: "License, registration."

2. Cadillac Ranch.
Had lyrics from Sam Phillips' Mystery Train (song performed by Elvis)
mixed in.

3. Devils & Dust.
They said it sounded really nice. Had a harp and a violin and nice
vocals from the female backup singers. They also said it was real nice
to hear this with a band and Bruce at one point told the band he was
"looking for a Civil War sound.

They broke at 12:30 p.m and restarted up at 1 p.m.

4. Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep

5. John Henry.
A big finish from the band on this one.

6. Johnny 99
Again what those there called a "fun-ky" version. Bruce has a
high-pitched voice on the lyrics toward the end of the song.

7. Old Dan Tucker

8. Eyes On the Prize.

9. Open All Night
I'll say what I said before: This will be a showstopper! Going to be
lots of fun. The horns are great. At one point Bruce yells out "All
Right!" and the band comes back and says "All Right" about six straight
times, it will really have the crowd into it.
Bruce worked on the ending of it one more time.

10. We Shall Overcome
Very moving version. Nice accordian throughout and the backup singers
really add a lot.

11. Pay me My Money Down.
A lot of fun also. Again, I think this may be the song Bruce closes the
main set with. There was a tuba solo at one point.
At the end he said: "Thank you very much ladies and gentleman!" and
even threw in a "The June Taylor Dancers!" a reference to the dancers
on the Jackie Gleason Show.
He then said "Thank you. It was a fabulous week!"

They finished just before 2 p.m.

I didn't hang around to see Bruce leave but a friend remained and told
me he left at 3:30 p.m. He did not stop to sign autographs or shake
hands with anyone.

Some other notes: Not that many people around at all. A dozen at the
most and most of them were the same people who were around yesterday
and at other rehearals over the past few weeks.
Someone told me that Bruce told the band during the morning sessions
how "The London show sold out in six minutes!"
I've liked what I've heard at the rehearsals and I'm very much looking forward to the shows.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


12/4:

A change of venue today, as rehearsals have moved from the Paramount Theater to the bigger Convention Hall on the beach.
Bruce arrived after 11 a.m. and the band started playing at 11:30 a.m.
1. John Henry
2. Cadillac Ranch
3. You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)
4. Devils & Dust

Bruce worked on each of these songs a bit.
Band took a break and started up again at 2:05 p.m.

5. This Hard Land
Nice volin and harmonica at the end. They played this twice.
6. Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep
Violin intro, solos by different horns. Fun.
7. John Henry
8. Johnny 99
Again, what those who have been at rehearsals have called the "funky" version
9. Old Dan Tucker
10. Eyes On The Prize
A nice ballad
11. Jessie James
Lots of violin and fast paced. Then lots of different solos.
12. Adam Raised A Cain
Could hear Patti on the backup vocals.
13. Erie Canal
Real nice horns and violin. They played it twice.
14. My Oklahoma Home
Some pedal steel guitar and violin. A real "hoe-down" song.
They worked at the ending a few times and then Bruce gave a big "Woooooooooohhh!"
They then stopped for about a half hour before resuming.
15. Shenandoah.
Worked on the closing a few times. More violin.
16. Jacob's Ladder

They finished up at 5:15 p.m.
Not many fans around. Saw some familiar faces earlier on the beach but for most of the afternoon there was three people. A few more arrived toward the end.
Lots of solos from the different musicians during many of the songs.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


13/4:

A beautiful day on the beach in Asbury Park brought out the most interesting days of rehearsals from Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band with some real unique songs played!

Again the venue was Convention Hall and the music started at 10 a.m.
1. My City of Ruins
I was told this had some organ, horns and violin
2. Turn Turn Turn
Yes the song made famous by the Byrds. They worked on this a couple of times.
According to a google search the words to this song are adapted from the bible, book of ecclesiastes and the music is by Pete Seeger.

3. A "mystery" song.
Bruce worked on this a few times before breaking for lunch.
No one could quite figure out what it was, but a little detective work got us our answer later in the afternoon.

They broke for lunch and many members of the band, including Bruce, were eating outside, on the deck on the south side of Convention Hall, where the Tiki Bar is during the summer.

They resumed at 1:05 p.m.

4. If I Should Fall Behind.
A totally reworked version from anything we have heard before, totally different than what was played in rehearsals a few weeks ago. One fan said "It was like a waltz."

5. My Father's House
I heard them working on this last week. It's again a different version from anything we've heard before. It's very haunting and as someone said "kind of spooky."
He played this twice.

6. The surprise of the day! of the year!
It started out as "The Wish." We could make out some lyrics. Then all the suddent Bruce shifted directions and went into:

"Those Daring Young Men on the Flying Trapeze."

Yes, the song with these lyrics:

"He floats thru the air with the greatest of ease,
The daring young man on the flying trapeze,
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
And my love he has stolen away."

Really incredible! It was a lot of fun and had us all laughing.
Some accordian and violin along with it.

You never know what Bruce might pull out!

7. Again the mystery song.
Kind of a ballad, we were struggling to hear the lyrics.
After rehearsals we asked a couple of the band members and they told us it was a song Ry Cooder has done called: "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?" which is on Ry Cooder's debut album in 1970.
It was originally recorded by Blind Alfred Reed in 1929.


Music ended about 2:15 p.m.

Bruce left at 3:15 p.m.
He came out and stopped and signed a few autographs and shook hands with people. There were abot 20 people waiting.

A lot of schools were closed this week, so some of the people listening brought their children down to the beach.
About 20 to 25 people listening at the most.
There will be no rehearsals on Friday.
It's been a long time since we laughed together
It's been a long time since we cried

My friend it's been a long, long time

Het nieuwe album luistert wel errug fijn weg, zeg... Heel anders dan Devils & Dust, maar lekkere feel-good deuntjes. Zodra die uit is zo snel mogelijk maar even kopen, kan ik de week erna in Berlijn de cd alvast grijs beginnen te draaien...

Wednesday, April 19....

A beautiful day on the beach and a a full day of music from Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, N.J.
The final rehearsal before tomorrow's Asbury Park show was filled with many songs from the new album, some Bruce songs and a song appropriate for New Orleans.
The music started around 10:30 a.m.:
1. Oh, Mary, Don't You Weep
2. John Henry
3. Johnny 99
4. Old Dan Tucker
5. Jesse James
6. Adam Raised A Cain
7. Erie Canal
8. My Oklahoma Home
This is a long song. Lots of different solos from members of the band.
9. Devils & Dust
Really nice to hear this with a band. It starts with a little organ and then continues pretty much as Bruce did it on the last tour. At the "I got God on my side, I'm just trying to survive" part, the backup singers join in and there's some drums. And there's a trumpet solo.
10. Mrs. McGrath
11. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live
The song done by Ry Cooder and the Del-Lords.
The backup singers are prominent here.
12. Jacob's Ladder
13. We Shall Overcome
14. Open All Night
Did this a little different than I heard it at past rehearsals. It has a bit of a "boogie-woogie" style to it. This will be one of the highlights of the live show.
15. Pay Me My Money Down

They broke for lunch at 12:40 p.m.
Bruce and many members of the band came out to eat on the balcony on the south side of Convention Hall. Bruce gave a quick wave to a few fans.
They resumed at 1:40 p.m

16. My City of Ruins
Think of the version we first heard at the Christmas shows in 2000. The horns sound great. Bruce worked on the ending, the part "With these hands" a few times with the backup singers. It sounded great. A powerful ending.

17. Buffalo Gals
18. You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)
Totally reworked from any version that we've heard of it before. The horns are prominent. It's a gospel-type version, something you would hear by a choir in Sunday church but fast paced. Someone said they could imagine hearing it in the "Blues Brothers" movie.
19. When the Saints Come Marching In.
A slow version. Very soft. Didn't have the band come in for a rousing finish or anything. I would think we will hear this in New Orleans.
Bruce then just worked on various parts of different songs.
Heard parts of Devils & Dust, John Henry, Jacob's Ladder.

20. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live
Bruce and the band did this three more times.
They finished up around 3:45 p.m.
I had to leave so I don't know if they played more, a friend was going to call me with any other updates.

Notes: Again, not that many people around. There were three or four people there in the morning and a few more in the afternoon. Never more than ten people at any one time listening to the music.
Fans today and yesterday were invited to be a part of the Good Morning America taping on Tuesday (April 25) morning. We were able to put our names on a list and give it to Bruce's security.
I didn't go down to rehearsals on Tuesday but a friend told me Bruce worked on "The Ghost of Tom Joad" a few times and also did "The Daring Young Men on the Flying Trapeze." again.
I'm looking forward to seeing the material performed live tomorrow night. After hearing many of the rehearsals for more than a month, it will be nice to see the band perform it.

*******************************************

The first rehearsal show, and the public debut of Springsteen with his 17-piece Seeger Sessions Band. And the first words out of our reporter's mouth after the concert: "Do you like music? Do you like Bruce Springsteen? Then you're gonna love this show." A spirited Dixieland romp, already a success that the '92-93 experiment with other musicians reached for and arguably never achieved. The rehearsal aspect was evident, as Bruce acknowledged, with some rough edges, miscues, and sound problems; but as he directed his stageful of players, under a pair of old chandeliers, it was that rare thrill of music being made right before your eyes -- a glorious noise. A glorious lament, in a way: there was a political edge throughout the night, subtle yet unmistakable, particularly in the three-pack of "Devils & Dust," "Mrs. McGrath" (dedicated to Cindy Sheehan), and "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?" The last of these is a Blind Alfred Reed song from the '20s, covered more recently by Ry Cooder and the Del-Lords. Springsteen took the time to set up many of tonight's numbers, offering some history to introduce songs like "Old Dan Tucker" and "Eyes on the Prize." In all, the band performed eleven songs from the album plus "Buffalo Gals" from the flipside; and six Bruce-penned songs from his catalog: "Johnny 99," "Adam Raised a Cain," "Devils & Dust," "Open All Night," "My City of Ruins," and "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)." Bringing the total up to 20 songs (the show started at 7:30, ended at 9:35) were two unreleased covers: the aforementioned "Poor Man," and the show-closing "When the Saints Go Marching In." For another idea of the sound, as another concert-goer told us, "Think 'Walt Whitman's Niece,' from start to finish." Take the weekend to break out your copy of Billy Bragg & Wilco's Mermaid Avenue if you need a refresher... and we'll be back for more on Monday night.

Op www.clearchannelmusic.com is de cd nu nog steeds te beluisteren, nu zelfs zonder de veelvuldige "hear it here first" tekstjes tijdens de muziek. Heb van de gelegenheid dan ook maar even gebruik gemaakt om de stream op te nemen en om te zetten naar 13 mp3-tjes. Ideaal voor onderweg. Aankoop van de cd volgt uiteraard zo spoedig mogelijk...

Haha ja en ook de leeftijd van Pete Seeger stond verkeerd vermeld als ik me niet vergis. Plus nog wat grammaticale fouten, maar vooruit...

Heb je de CD al Devil...hij is al bijna overal verkrijgbaar inmiddels!
