May 23 / Izod
Center / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: "Good evening, neighbors!" said Bruce at this second of two Meadowlands arena concerts, "I'm so glad to be in the swamps of Jersey tonight—I'm so glad to be home!" (Despite the close proximity to home, Patti had to miss this one; "I have a young daughter who's on tour also," Bruce said for his "Kingdom of Days" dedication to the missus, "so Patti's with her tonight.") Tonight was not only a homecoming show, it marked the end of the tour's first leg—two months to the day after the first rehearsal show in Asbury Park— and it closed things out with a bang, a serious contender for the best of the leg. An electric performance, with ten different songs from Thursday night and a focus on material from the early days—including no less than three from The Wild, the Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle.
"Spirit in the Night" came out early,
but the first real shocker was "Something in the Night"—an
audible, no less—in slot four. Sort of a strange transition from there into
"Out in the Street," but let's not nitpick, "Something"
was just a classic performance, passionately delivered. As for covers,
"Good Lovin'" subbed back in for "Raise Your Hand" as the
sign collection song, but Bruce again steered the requests themselves
straight down E Street. "E Street Shuffle" was Wild &
Innocent cut number one. "Cover Me," a perfect fit with
themes Bruce has been bringing to the fore in the past couple months, finally
got its tour premiere, and "Thunder
Road" closed out the requests.
Following "Promised
Land," it was W&I number 2, another tour premiere: "Incident
on 57th Street."
Just a stunner. It started a little fast, but led to outstanding intrumental
work at the end, Bruce's guitar solo outro and Roy's piano coda lighting the place up.
Several showgoers remarked that, at a certain point during the show, the
whole thing just went into the stratosphere for the second half—every band
member on it, the current flowing. You might pinpoint that moment right here.
By the encore, that current was
flowing through the entire crowd, too—everyone up for "Born to
Run," all hands in the air for "Land of Hope
and Dreams." W&I number three was an incredible "Kitty's
Back," the best in recent memory, with spotlight again on Bruce and Roy,
each with extended solos. Tonight really seemed to be about going the extra
mile—look to "Johnny 99" as well, which was extended as Bruce and
Steve took their time milking the crowd.
Bruce thanked "all our
friends and neighbors for their longtime support of the E Street Band,"
and during the intros we got a "Max is back!" holler, the elder
Weinberg having played the whole show, and Clarence got a "Theme from
Shaft" vamp from the band. The legendary E Street Band? "That's
fucking right!" But of course, there was no way this sucker was ending
with "American
Land" tonight.
"Are you trying to test me?" Springsteen asked the roaring crowd.
"The turnpike is closed—nobody goes home!" And from there into a
one-two punch, "Glory Days" and a "Mony Mony" that had
the whole place going nuts. And just before calling it a night, Bruce again
mentioned the wrecking ball coming for Giants Stadium—but not before the E
Street Band takes a few more whacks at it. "We'll see you in the
fall!"

Harlem,
NY Apollo Theater
|
Notes: Over the course of a nearly
four-hour Spectacle taping at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, Bruce
Springsteen and Elvis Costello discussed everything from their Catholic
upbringings to fatherhood to being labeled "The Next Dylan" to
Asbury Park to the role of the songwriter in a democratic society. They talked
quite a bit about where and how their paths crossed over the years, including
Roy Orbison's "Black & White Night" performance. It's unlikely
that nearly all of last night's absolutely engrossing conversation will make
it to air; the only consolation to seeing some of these insightful artistic
musings fall on the cutting room floor is that they'll be left out to make
room for the music. My God, the music!
Costello and the Imposters
opened the show with a cover of "Point Blank," setting the tone
early for what was to be a night of many non-traditional Springsteen tunes.
At Costello's request, Bruce opened with "Wild Billy's Circus
Story," for which he was joined onstage by an acoustic Nils Lofgren (who
had performed "Like Rain" earlier with The Imposters backing him)
and Roy Bittan on accordion. Costello coaxed some early memories from
Springsteen regarding the traveling circus in Freehold and the sense of
wonder and fear it inspired in him as a child. This was not Storytellers Part
II, though. There was no line-by-line deconstruction of songs. Costello
seemed primarily interested in the emotional effects of the music, both on
Springsteen and his audience, and a major portion of their talk was devoted
to the thematic shift that occurred following Born to Run. As
Springsteen explained it to Costello, he became more invested in writing
songs he felt he would still be able to relate to at the ripe old age of 40
(this of course drew a laugh).
The show was very explicitly a
television taping and not a "concert," though, which meant a lot of
stopping and starting to rearrange the stage and to get things just right. A
solo acoustic version of "American Skin (41 Shots)" came off after
a false start, and Springsteen initially forgot that "Galveston Bay"
was in Drop D tuning. When the conversation wandered to Roy Orbison, Costello
joined Springsteen in an impromptu cover of "Pretty Woman" that
ended abruptly halfway through. They redeemed themselves shortly after with a
show-stopping rendition of Sam & Dave's "I Can't Stand Up For
Falling Down," Bruce taking Sam's part and Elvis taking Dave's.
Following a quick break, the two
reconvened with talk of family life. Costello praised Patti's role as
musician, wife, and mother, and performed an acoustic version of her
"Black Ladder." Springsteen discussed the pleasure he felt standing
outside of his son's room one evening and hearing him listen to "Chimes
of Freedom." "What do you think of it?" he asked.
"Epic," his son replied, "it's epic, dad." And who could
argue with that?
More than three hours into his
own epic discussion, Springsteen expressed fear that the audience would keel
over soon and indicated that it was time for the finale. He strapped on an
electric guitar and delivered a gut-wrenching version of "The Rising"
backed by the Imposters, Bittan, Lofgren, and Costello (who stepped up for
the dream of lifes). There was a fiery quality to the performance that
was only intensified moments later when the band ripped into
"Seeds." Springsteen wailed on the guitar and bellowed like he was
half his age or younger, and the crowd was on its feet. The night concluded
with a "Radio" medley, connecting Springsteen's "Radio
Nowhere" with Costello's "Radio Radio." While the two might
not have been the perfect musical pairing to mash together, it was a
thematically appropriate and satisfyingly creative ending to a truly
unforgettable night.

East Rutherford Giants
Stadium
|
October 9 / Giants Stadium / E. Rutherford, NJ Notes: A special welcome message on the video screen as people entered the show; extra fireworks being shot off from the top of the press box; a 31-song setlist taking up three hours, fifteen minutes: it was clear that the final concert at Giants Stadium was intended to be special. Bruce again opened with "Wrecking Ball," which he introduced as one they wrote "especially for Giants Stadium, where we have had many victories and sucked up our share of glory!"
Closing night seemed to break
very little new ground, however. The setlist was a near carbon copy of the
previous Saturday's show, including the reprise performance of the Born in
the U.S.A. album. The crowd certainly brought the noise, as exhorted by
Bruce to do so, and the band’s performance was excellent, but as a whole, the
show seemed to fall short of the heights that closing night in Jersey has brought in the past.
The performance of the Born
in the U.S.A. was noticeably tighter and more focused than in its debut
album-order performance, to great effect and extensive crowd participation.
When introducing the album, Bruce took note to remember that "Born in
the U.S.A."
was "the song we started out with the first time we entered this
arena." (He also dedicated the performance to "my friend, who 55
years ago tonight, was born in the USA.")
Setting things apart from the
previous four nights included "Spirit in the Night" early in the
set, the return of "Seven Nights to Rock" in the encore, and, with
Patti back on stage, only the second "Tougher than the Rest" on
this tour. Curt Ramm added his trumpet to "Tougher" as well. Show
highlights included Bruce again taking a "wild ride" through the
crowd during "Hungry Heart" and, in the encore, via a sign complete
with tongue-logo and suggested key (E), a "perfect request:" The
Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," last played by the E Street
Band at the final night of the Darkness tour. An extended "Kitty's
Back" in the encore included intense solos from Curt on trumpet and Roy on piano.
As the show headed towards its
end, Bruce skipped the setlisted "Thunder Road" and instead opted
for "Jersey Girl," complete with lyric change to "take that
one last ride / 'cross the river to the Jersey
side." As the song ended, the crowd appeared to be in no rush to leave,
perhaps expecting one final uptempo song to send off the stadium. Alas, it
was not to be, as Bruce added a "Goodbye Giants Stadium!" to his
traditional "We'll be seein' ya!" as the night ended.
In the New York Times,
it's front-page news. In the crowd: Brian Williams; Chris Martin of Coldplay;
Ed Burns; NJ Gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie; Jann Wenner.

November 7 / Madison Square
Garden / New York, NY
Notes: Noting that there were only eight shows left on the tour, Bruce paused before the sixth song of his set on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden to say that he and the band appreciated the support of their fans over the past few years and that they wanted to do something that was a "nice treat for the fans and for us."
So began the first-ever
top-to-bottom performance of The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street
Shuffle. Bruce shushed the audience, tapped a baton against his
microphone stand and turned to face the horn section (set up on the back
riser behind the piano) to conduct them as "The E Street Shuffle"
kicked off an amazing seven-song performance. Bruce completely followed
through on his intent to treat the audience, as he unquestionably went above
and beyond to ensure a performance that did his second album proud.
Richard Blackwell (who played on
the original record) was on stage to add conga to "New York City
Serenade." There was a full five-piece horn section for "The E
Street Shuffle" and "Kitty’s Back." There was an eight-piece string
section (led by the Session Band's Sam Bardfeld and conducted by Charlie
Giordano) for "New York City Serenade." Bruce had even started the
evening's proceedings with "Thundercrack," indicating that it was
"an outtake" from the album (here's hoping for "Restless
Nights," "Take 'Em as They Come," or "I Wanna Be With
You" for Sunday!)
Highlights from the performance
of the album... well, it was an embarrassment of riches. Some of the most
prominent included Bruce's fantastic guitar solo at the end of "Incident
on 57th Street," finding variations of the melodic theme to end the
song; Roy’s piano introduction to "New York City Serenade," with
Bruce on acoustic guitar to replicate the album arrangement; various members
of the band and horn section soloing on "Kitty's Back," or even the
sparse "Wild Billy’s Circus Story" with Roy on accordion and Garry
on tuba.
The energy in the building, with
an elated New York City
crowd well aware of the momentousness of the occasion, was off the charts for
most of the night. With the album understandably the predetermined highlight,
it was difficult for Bruce to keep the entire show at that same level — how
could he? But "Bus Stop," via sign request, and an intense
"Human Touch," with Patti Scialfa back on stage tonight, were
additional high points. And the encore wrapped up quite nicely as surprise
special guest Elvis Costello joined the band for "Higher and
Higher," singing lead on the first verse. Back on stage with Bruce after
the taping for Spectacle six weeks earlier, Elvis brought much of the
same soul-singer showmanship that Bruce does — and that the song requires —
to great effect.
But really, the story of this
show will always be the magnificent recreation of Bruce's second record. That
performance, "something that’s never been done before," will
forever be in the "very special" category of the Bruce history
books.

Paramount Theater – Asbury
Park
|
January 16 / Paramount Theater / Asbury Park, NJ Notes: Light of Day celebrated its tenth anniversary Saturday night with a customary program of solid performances: by newcomers Outside the Box, shore favorites like Danny White and Bruce Tunkel, and longtime participants/supporters like Willie Nile, Joe D'Urso and Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers. The marathon event, which had Asbury Park's Paramount Theater rocking past one in the moirning, did not disappoint the full house, some of whom had traveled from as far away as Italy to be a part of the festivities.
Rumors had been swirling since
the previous evening’s entertainment at the Stone Pony, but just about
everyone was surprised when Bruce Springsteen walked onstage late in Willie
Nile's set to contribute vocals on "Heaven Help the Lonely."
Dressed in his by now standard garb — dark jeans, black shirt — and sporting
a brand new tan and a broad smile, Bruce was halfway into the song before
most of the audience even noticed he was there. Which was, of course, the
plan all along.
But that wasn't it. Springsteen
aficionados and fans of Jesse Malin alike have been waiting for a live
performance of their duet on the Malin tune "Broken Radio” since its
release several years back, and last night they finally got it. Jesse, who
has been laying low most of last year working on a new record, was partway
into his usual energetic set (his hot new band features his old friend and
bandmate Danny Sage on guitar) when he called his friend Bruce out to join
him. They got in a solid, well-received performance of Jesse's heartfelt
ballad before Springsteen once again disappeared backstage.
Light of Day newcomer and Pennsylvania native Ed
Kowalczyk subsequently turned in a strong acoustic set comprised mostly of
material made famous by his band Live; the stage was then set for a return
engagement from Everyone’s Favorite Freehold Native, and he didn't
disappoint. Bruce returned midway through Joe Grushecky’s closing slot for a
powerful performance of the classic Bruce/Houserockers set, the highlight of
which had to be the long-lost gem "Pink Cadillac."
The night ended with a now
obligatory turn on "Light of Day" followed by an all-star jam on
the Isley Brothers classic "Twist and Shout." The stage was packed
with artists from all three days of Light of Day performances, and as the
house lights came up, everyone — local artists, organizers, first-time
participants and veterans — seemed to be in agreement that on its tenth
anniversary, Light of Day was stronger than ever.

IZOD
|
April 4 / Izod Center / East Rutherford, NJ Notes: Kicking off the "Apollo Medley" at the Izod Center, Springsteen tried to get the fans to help with the vocal intro. Though there was great energy in the Jersey crowd, this may have been asking for too much; it wasn't long before Bruce laughed it off: "Leave it to the professionals!" That quip summed things up nicely for Night Two: Bruce and the E Street Band showing 'em how it's done, one of those nights when they seem untouchable. After Tuesday's show didn't quite reach the bar set in Tampa and DC, Wednesday's Meadowlands set was a stellar performance, extremely spirited, with tour premieres flying fast and furious.
Right
up top, we've gotta mention "Racing in the Street." In its
classic incarnation, rather than the alternate from The Promise box,
"Racing" was the majestic highlight of the night. Subtle horn fills
added color, and the outro soared with Roy's
eloquent piano, Garry's basslines cranked up, and Max building it all to
crescendo after crescendo. E Street orchestration at its finest.
Bruce's
vocal on "Candy's Room" gave it a different tone and feel, a
guttural confession in the beginning before the whole thing goes into
overdrive. Another kick-ass new addition to the set, up there with
"Racing," was "Johnny 99," spotlighting the horns:
full horn charts, the guys coming down to the front of the stage and really
used to great effect (and loud enough to blessedly drown out much of the
"woo-woo" locomotive sounds). "We've been waiting to do that,"
Bruce said when the song was done, "We've been waiting to bust that
out!" If Springsteen has more where that came from, watch out:
"Johnny 99" was a stunner.
"The
Ties That Bind" busted into the "Badlands"
slot as the first of three River songs in the set. To give you an idea
of how impromptu some of this stuff is, they just ran through this one in a
band meeting backstage before the show, Steven working with Jake on the solo.
"Jackson Cage" and "Ramrod" were #2 and #3 from
1980, as Max got his wish with the debut of the latter in the encore.
"Now we're really gonna test Jakey!" said Bruce. And lest you think
"Ramrod" is a walk in the park, it did test him, bringing a
squawk or two — probably the first bum notes we've heard out of Jake since
this whole thing started. Call it the exception that proves the rule: he's
been a virtually flawless player, better than anyone had a right to expect,
and the crowd seems to love him more and more each night.
"Rocky
Ground" seems to really have found its feet in New Jersey — magnificent
performances of this song on both nights with Michelle Moore, and tonight
Bruce included a loving dedication to local family — but it was bumped to the
second encore slot for the first time, as the final stretch kicked off
instead with fan-favorite "Trapped," by request. And even in the last
song of the night, the surprises weren't over. As "the big man joined
the band," and the Meadowlands roared in response, a new video montage
appeared on the screen. Springsteen headed back out to his GA-section
platform to take it in, and Jon Landau came out into the pit to watch, too.
Showing Clarence through the years, it's a moving tribute we look forward to
seeing again.
Tonight
showed what Bruce and the band — and a Wrecking Ball tour set — can do. Even
with all the rarities, there were still seven songs from the new record, and
they all packed a punch: "Easy Money," for one, stood out as a real
showcase of E Street mettle. Is there any reason this shouldn't be the
"A" set? Don't save such shows for just the Night Twos, Boss — the
way you do the things you do on a night like this is something we should all
be lucky enough to see.

Center / Newark, NJ
MAY 2, NEWARK: FIRE ON THE FINGERTIPS It was a homecoming show, in a city Bruce has never played. Such an occasion is bound to be a bit strange. It was a leg-closer with a "Last Dance" feel — loosey-goosey, celebratory, loaded up with rarities — even though Bruce and the band will be back on stage in a mere week-and-a-half. It went from sloppy to fierce to holy-shit to predictable to party-time. Considering all that, it's no wonder there was little post-show consensus on this one; for my money, it was the most compelling concert I've caught since the Apollo. And through it all, Bruce seemed to be having the time of his life, without much of a care — which doesn't necessarily make for an intense show, but it makes for a night when anything can happen.
"No
Surrender" kicked things off — only the second appearance of the song in
a Wrecking Ball set, with the house lights bright, eventually going down just
in time for the line "on the streets tonight the lights grow dim."
The performance itself may have been on shaky ground, but it was a refreshing
start, and they soon found a powerful groove on the traditional opening
stretch. Max was particularly noteworthy as his powerhouse drums carried us
from "We Take Care of Our Own" into "Wrecking Ball," just
the beginning of a major workout for the Mighty One here in his hometown.
"Good
evening, Newark, New Jersey!" Springsteen greeted the
packed-to-the-rafters Pru Center before "My City of Ruins," taking
care to salute this major Jersey
city that he was, suprisingly, playing for the very
first time. "Birthplace, not but two blocks from here, of the
Mighty Max Weinberg himself! Birthplace of badass author Philip Roth. Birthplace
— I think — of George Clinton: Parliament-Funkadelic, a lot of good soul coming
out of Newark.
[And if he was techincally mistaken, Clinton
hailing originally from North Carolina, he
was right in spirit: George formed the Parliaments in Newark in 1955.] In keeping with his loose,
relaxed vibe, Bruce also had greetings for a specific pair right down front:
"You two are psychotic — you guys are my stalkers, man..." Soon
during Roll Call, he noted Patti Scialfa's absence, singing, "Ohhh, I'm
lookin' for my baby... Where, oh where is my baby? Mr. Garry W. Tallent just
won't do, I'm sorry! Patti's not here tonight — she's at home, keeping
the kids out of our drug stash."
The
whole place was into "City of Ruins,"
hands in the air all around; as the song ended, Bruce gave his positive
appraisal: "This is a good building! This building feels good! So in
honor of our first time here, we'll do something for the first time! You
fans are gonna go, huh? Wha?" And he was right — "Bishop
Danced" was a stunner. It may not be the most obscure of
obscurities (it was officially released on Tracks, after all, in a
live version from 1973 at Max's Kansas
City). But it's close, with the shock value and long
odds against its performance right up there with "Song for Orphans"
in Trenton
'05. Bruce hadn't performed the song in nearly 40 years, and never with the
full E Street Band. And unlike the meandering "Song for Orphans,"
this one wasn't just cool in theory. Arranged for the full band, "Bishop
Danced" was a blast, stretching out with multiple violin and accordion
solos from Soozie and Charlie, Curtis rocking the washboard. Just like
"Jack of All Trades" says, "We take the old, we make it
new."
"Saint
in the City" kept the rarities rolling, the Professor banging it
out, Bruce and Steve facing each other at the end for their classic guitar
call-and-response as Max's drumroll crescendoed the whole thing to a frenzy.
"Jack of All Trades," its stoic majesty grounding the middle of the
set, featured a moving solo from Nils, as Curt Ramm came down front on
trumpet and Bruce beat that big bass drum. Then Max was on point again as the
monster pairing of "Candy's Room" and "She's the One"
showed off his versatility, power, and precision. Without feeling forced,
everybody was getting a spotlight moment, Cindy coming down to shake it with
Bruce at center stage on "Shackled & Drawn," and even guitar
tech Kevin Buell called out again for "Waitin' on a Sunny Day":
"Kevin Buell! Where is Kevin Buell? This is my homeboy's 1,002nd show!
Help me out..." and Kevin counted in, 1-2-3-4.
An audibled
"Talk to Me" might have been slightly less fun without Patti around
as a foil, but there was nothing else wrong with this one, a horn-heavy treat
from The Promise, played here in Southside country by request for a
sign that read "Talk to (or Kiss) Me on my Birthday." And whatever
flirting Bruce couldn't do with his baby, he took straight to the crowd. If
things lost a bit of steam from here to the end of the set, he picked it back
up with a sublime "We Are Alive," nicely intro'd as he had in New Orleans:
"Coming to the end of the Wrecking Ball album... I
realized I needed to consult the spirits. I decided I'd throw a party for
ghosts. The voices of the dead always inform the living. They always inform
the future. They're always on your shoulder." "Land of Hope
and Dreams" had the horns turned up, with the glorious noise from the
brass and another strong showing from Max turning this occasional set-closer
into a truly grand finale.
The
encore was just the kind of communal party you want it to be, and another
completely unexpected treasure (right up there with "Bishop
Danced," really) lifted it up from the start. "These guys have been
holding this sign all night," Bruce said, taking it from the front of
the pit; and while anybody standing behind that sign surely hates to see the
positive reinforcement, it was hard not to smile when Bruce turned it around:
"PLAY 1 FOR LEVON. Up on Cripple Creek,
The Weight, Atlantic City.
RIP LEVON." After some strummng, Bruce said, "I used to play this
one when we were real young..." but it was the E Street Band debut of "The
Weight." Springsteen had plenty of kind words for the dear departed
"Levon Helm, the great drummer of The Band... one of the greatest voices
in country, rockabilly, and rock 'n' roll. Just staggering — while playing
the drums! When I auditioned Max, I actually made him sing." Speaking of
staggering... I mean, sure, we know the E Street Band is unstumpable, but it
was still astounding that they were able to pull off this beautiful,
confident tribute with so little notice. Bruce started on acoustic, soon
Soozie added fiddle, Garry joined in, Charlie on organ, the horns... Max, Roy, the whole band
making it happen and making sonic space for each other. And of course, they
had plenty of help from the crowd, the whole darn place singing along on the
chorus. From there Bruce didn't miss a beat, strumming his acoustic right
into "Rocky Ground."
After
a plug for Table
to Table, it was houselights up for "Born to Run" (13 guitar
windmills at the end, by my count), "Dancing in the Dark," and
then, before "Tenth," a bonus "Rosalita": "Are your
hands hurting? Is your back hurting? Is your voice hurting? Are your sexual
organs stimulated? Are your sexual organs stimulated? Ahhh, not yet!
This'll do it!" This third audible of the night did indeed take it all
over the top, Bruce mugging with Steve, hugging the roadie who came out to
replace his mic, dancing and running all over the stage, even bringing up a
few enthusiastic kids at the end who were over the moon to share that moment.
Ah, the Last Dance... Wait, huh? Wha? Not even close! "Thank you,
New Jersey!
We'll see you in September!"
And
over in Europe, they know it's just the
beginning.
