Certainly not pointless. He feels some of these songs deserve a proper studio release and is some of his best writing! Who really cares if they were recorded before or played live before. Looking forward to hearing the new versions!
I dont. But I DO care if theyve been RELEASED before. Doesnt matter if they're some of his best writing or not? By that yardstick, should he just release a newly re-recorded version of the entire Darkness on the Edge of Town album?
Can you imagine the shitfit if the next Stones studio album was padded out with newly re-recorded versions of old b-sides like Through the Lonely nights, Jump on top of me and the like?
Granted, there'd be the obligatory cheerleaders who would manage to still get excited if the band released lo-fi recordings of their own bowel movements, but you'd like to think most sensible people would have higher standards.
This stuff belongs on a 'Tracks 2' type project.
He released a newly recorded Darkness with a scaled back E Street Band as part of the video content of the Darkness box set, and it sounded great. Playing those songs as 60-ish year-old men gave the material a certain gravitas.

Why is Little Steven not playing on the new album?
No offense to Tom Morello-he's brilliant.
But where was Little Steven?
Busy?
I am so glad I saw Bruce play with Danny and Clarence before they passed.
One of the best concerts I ever saw.
Thanks for the heads up on the new album,franzk.

Springsteen has really become a Las Vegas act - how many people on stage now, some 20 musicians?

It was confirmed months ago that Morello will play on this tour. Along with both Lofgren and Van Zandt.

Back in 1972-76 I thought Springteen was incredible-- he was such a breath of fresh air in the music scene-- It was great to see an artist and a Band that really enjoyed themselves and it showed in the music and in their live shows--
BUT somewhere along the line Springsteen decided he wanted to be Woody Guthrie and over the last couple of decades has just become this Left-wing bore-- I cant stomach his political views which over-shadow the music for me these days-- still a talented guy, but for cryin out loud Boss, just shut up and play music ! Not everyone shares your socialist views and love of Obama
By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to all !
