I should be set to shoot the Oct 3rd show for Backstreets mag, but i'd prefer seeing _Darkness_ to BITUSA.

BitUSA is probably my least favorite Springsteen album. It is likekly all wrapped up in how huge Bruce got at the time but I have never warmed up to that one.

Do you like Lucky Town, Human Touch and Tunnel of Love Better? I have a hard time with those albums...

I really like Tunnel of Love a lot. I think Lucky Town is also very good. Human Touch has some good songs but I'm not as crazy about it. There will always be discussion about the great single album he could have made if he'd just taken the best stuff off LT and HT.

I think even a comp of LT and HT for me would still likely rank last in the catalog. TGOTJ is a bit long and slow in places and I really don't like the latest very much, but that '92 stuff to me is pretty generic. I far like BITUSA over both of those albums, and big pop production aside, there are some dark tunes on that record, and "Bobby Jean," just slays me every time, even after 25 years of listening to it.

I'm actually a big fan of BitUSA. That middle run of songs of Downbound Train through I'm Goin' Down is pretty awesome. I also still consider Dancing in the Dark a great song and I'm always excited to see it live

Leaving Austin in the morning, be there on the 9th. Born in the USA: some the best songs Bruce has put on record combined with the worst, early '80's production. It sounds so dated, but hopefully not so much live.

 

Bruce in the crowd is hilarious. I never told my "meeting Bruce" story on here, but I can assure you, he is every bit as salt of the earth as his songs indicate.

 

For those of you in the area this weekend, I will be rejoining my old band for some shows.

 

Saturday Ocotber 10th

Chester Arts Fair

Main St.

Chester, NJ

12 PM (in the afternoon!)

**This is with my new band, The Wilson Street Refugees, which was formed here in Austin. Acoustic guitars, upright bass, accordian, fiddle.

 

Saturday October 10th

Jimmys Rock Club (formerly Manny's)

Moonachie Ave.

Moonachie, NJ

9 PM

**with my old band, The Dirty Doves. Just good, ol' badass rock and roll music**

Also with Echofission and Jamie Gerard

 

Sunday October 11th

**intimate semi-private show with many very special guests we are trying to keep relatively quiet. We will announce the when and where at our shows on Saturday.**

I have GA for 11/7. I was expecting a full Born To Run, and was looking forward to Meeting Across the River into Jungleland but this is friggin amazing. Wow. Meeting on 57th Street into Rosalita. The way it was meant to be heard. Just wow! I need to change my pants now.

I saw that and freaked! I just bought me two of the worst seats in the house at slightly over face (thanks ebay) at MSG for the River just to get in the door!! I wish I could make the Wild night but have a prior commitment! BUT WOW THE RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

PS bobfrombob I just noticed you are on the live daily Springsteen boards! Great minds think alike! :cheers

Let's see if they wanted to go ahead and tackle some other '73 era material they could do: "Zero & Blind Terry," "Seaside Bar Song," "Ballad of the Self Loading Pistol," aND "Thundercrack" to close. How does that sound?

The tour ends next Sunday in Buffalo. The album will be Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ. :w00t

 

Bob you going to the show!? I am jealous of anyone at this show! This was the one I was waiting for! I can't make it though :upset I will need to hear this boot! Wow!

 

Also...how can this album not be played in NEW JERSEY! The album was inspired by and written here, no?! :hmm

Yeah, I am planning to go. What are the chances that I'm seeing 2 full albums performed and it's going to be Greetings and WIESS. I'm pretty pumped.

Ha you are seeing the ones I couldn't! Anyway you also may be seeing the E-Street Band too for the last time as it currently is. Enjoy it and report back here after the show! I will be living vicariously through reviews! B)
