13. FRANKIE (request)

How come it's a request when they rehearsed this song a couple of times before the show?


Good point.

Presumably the guy was there the previous night too (or at other shows) and they saw it and got the idea to rehearse it for future use.

It's a 'request' in the sense that it wasnt on last night's setlist and it was played because the sign was there again and maybe brought on stage.

The song has only been played seven times since 1976. It was written that year and played ten times in March-April '76. He recorded it for both Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born in the USA in 1977 and 1982 respectively but it wasnt released until the 1982 version came out on the 'Tracks' box set in 1998.

Played once with the E-Street Band in both 1999 and 2003 and then four times on the Devils & Dust solo tour in 2005. Last night was the first time since and also the first time he's ever played it outside the US.

terrific song which should be better known.

Bruce is getting overwhelming reviews in Swedish tabloids. Markus Larsson, the journalist who penned down Keith (and the RS) in 2007, is ecstatic: "We will never see anything like this again, not from Bruce or any other artist". The second largest tabloid, Expressen, gives 6 wasps (their logotype) out of possible 5 for the concert: Expressen

It was a wonderful evening indeed, although I didn't think the concert got about until the second half of the show. Jungleland blew me away totally!

JUNGLELAND RETURNS

7/30/2012

Bruce Springsteen is down to the last show on his European tour, Tuesday night in Helsinki, Finland, but not before squeezing in six more tour premieres over two nights in Gothenburg, Sweden.

On Friday it was "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" and "Drive All Night" -- a video of which was posted on Springsteen's website -- followed by "Lost in the Flood," "Frankie," "Where the Bands Are" and "Jungleland" on Saturday. While "Jungleland" is no stranger to a Springsteen show, Saturday's performance was notable because the song is known for the late Clarence Clemons' saxophone solo and it was the first time the E Street Band performed it since his death in June of last year. Clarence's nephew, E Street Band sax player Jake Clemons, did his uncle proud, delivering a spot-on rendition of the solo. When it was done, Springsteen held back on his vocals so Jake could get the applause he deserved.

Kind of strange he didn't schedule any Florida dates on this leg. But faith will be rewarded Chris. He'll probably do another US leg in early 2013 and play Miami then.

Leon Wieseltier unloads on what he calls "the literature of fandom" about Bruce Springsteen in this piece in the New Republic. I think there is some truth to what he says, but there is also a fair amount of snobbish cynicism. Don't know if any of you read the huge profile of Bruce by David Remmick in The New Yorker, but this author tears it apart. Here is his take on Bruce's music:

DO THESE MEN HAVE ears? The musical decline of Bruce Springsteen has been obvious for decades. The sanctimony, the grandiosity, the utterly formulaic monumentality; the witlessness; the tiresome recycling of those anthemic figures, each time more preposterously distended; the disappearance of intimacy and the rejection of softness. And the sexlessness: Remnick adores Springsteen for his “flagrant exertion,” which he finds deeply sensual, comparing him to James Brown, but Brown’s shocking intensity, his gaudy stamina, his sea of sweat, was about, well, fcking, whereas Springsteen “wants his audience to leave the arena, as he commands them, ‘with your hands hurting, your feet hurting, your back hurting, your voice sore, and your sexual organs stimulated!’”, which is how you talk dirty at Whole Foods. Remnick lauds him also for his “exuberance,” which is indeed preternatural. I was twice at The Bottom Line in August 1975 and I have never been in a happier room. But there is nothing daft or insouciant, nothing crazy free, about Springsteen’s exuberance anymore. The joy is programmatic; it is mere uplift, another expression of social responsibility, a further statement of an idealism that borders on illusion. The rising? Not quite yet. We take care of our own? No, we do not. Nothing has damaged Springsteen’s once-magnificent music more than his decision to become a spokesman for America. He is Howard Zinn with a guitar.

Gotta admire his writing style, even if you think he's daft. Here is the full article:

I don't know a thing about Leon Wieseltier, but he must have some unresolved persoal issues...Hey, it's only rock'n'roll, but we like it!

Wieseltier surely feels like being "the owner of the truth", but it doesn't work for me. Bruce works hiss ass off to entertain 50 000 people for 3-4 hours every second nigt - to make them happy and to lift teir spirits - obviously enjoying himself while doing it. I don't quite understand how that can make someone that bitter and sarcastic. That Bruce gets well payed for that? I am sure Wieseltier wrote that article for free...

One can quote sentence after sentence and argue, but that would take too long and it is not really necessary. Of course, there are some valid general points, but very very general. I just think that newspaper shouldn't be a place where journalists should solve their personal problems and that's what this article is about in the irst place.

Gotta admire his writing style, even if you think he's daft. Here is the full article:

[www.tnr.com]

The (New Yorker) article is admittedly rich in detail...but it has numerous glaring errors, which is to be expected from a New Yorker scribe -- supercilious, cosseted, pencil-necked pseudo-elites that they all are. Yet what struck me most in the article was how uneducated and impressionable BS was/is. His fulcrum of knowledge -- limited as it is -- comes from being "spoon fed" info from John Landau...a dyed-in-the-wool Lefty wanna-be-Radical-Chic-Elite since the early 70's. He is one of those types that -- had his incestuous, self-inflated "career" as a "Rock Critic" failed -- would have become a stringy-haired, elbow-patched English Prof. at some small Liberal Arts college in New England, espousing to impressionable numbskulls on Russian Lit. and the beauty of Marxism (as he sipped Proseco and tried to get into horny co-ed's knickers). Despite BS's extensive, 30-year psychiatric "therapy" sessions (shades of another insecure, fabulously rich East Coast neurotic -- Woody Allen) he was never inspired to develop the intellectual curiosity to look outside of himself and his Comfort Zone and Ideological Cocoon and get education and seek knowledge for himself...

BS is also massive phony when it comes to his "Working Class Hero" shtick. I stopped listening to BS when he began to pathetically affect an "Okie" accent and began singing as if he was a Dust Bowl farmer trying to squeeze a dried turd out of his anal cavity -- as he bought a multi-million dollar mansion in Elay, married a Grade-C starlet, and vacationed on David Geffen's yacht. His lyrics became nothing more than Jon Landau/East Coast Legacy Media-inspired Far-Left polemics and his sanctimonious "every man" stance became hackneyed Teàtro, and finally, simple parody. His every word and (laboured) move is contrived and choreographed...and he is as much a "mercenary curator" of his legacy as the Stones. In fact, the Stones have released far superior material to BS's the last 20 years (as spare as their output has been). Only a politicized, cocooned New Yawk Liberal hack would think that Bruce has resonated in any way -- except as clichè -- with any new material since the late 80's. (Actually his last vital album was Tunnel Of Love in 1987).

Now, this is not to take away anything from BS regarding his work ethic and his early work -- work which stands with any other artists' canon. His first 2 albums (much derided in the article) are BOTH superb. "Born To Run" is a stone-dead classic...monumental. "Darkness" is magnificent and my personal favorite "electric" BS album. "The River" was wonderful (though I found it overwrought and overlong so it never entered my list as a classic, though to many people it is his best). "Nebraska" is my absolute favorite acoustic album of the last 30 years. "Born In The USA" was a world-conquering monster which I initially loved when it came out and quickly began to disdain due to massive over-exposure and lack of depth...and "Tunnel Of Love" was a welcome change and an intriguing move for BS...and I rather enjoyed it at the time. I bought several of his next records, but his mannerisms and clichés became ponderous...the last album I thought was interesting was "The Ghost of Tom Joad", but in that album his "Okie" vocal affectations were outrageously mannered and really grated and I quickly tired of it...as I have of apocryphal, interminable legend of "The Boss"...

...and for the record, I have seen him in concert several times (1978, 1980, 1984) and he is a stupendous performer...

I think at the real heart of these criticisms is a contempt and dislike for Bruce's political and social views.

He's backed off this tour with that stuff. Its all about the music and this incredible band. The guy really just keeps raising my expectations and breaking them every time.

Whether or not one agree's with Bruce's opinions, I think his keeping the emphasis on the music this time is the best approach. I'm looking forward to seeing him live more now than I have in a long time.

I saw him at Gilette Stadium and I am going to Hartford end of this month. Thankfully he stayed off politics and focused all on music it was a fantastic show. If I agree or disagree with Bruce or anyone else I pay my money to see listen to music and have a good time I can make up my mind without the help of Bruce Springsteen or any other celebrity. I want to hear the music not their opinions of which mean no more than yours or my own. It was nice to see him stay clear of the subject. I do chuckle when I listen to the Wrecking Ball cd and he sings about the poor and broken down people and after each show he speeds off in a limo to his private jet or fancy five star hotel I really don;t care just don;t pretend to be something that you really can't identify with anymore.
