It would appear the band actually went to Prague. There have been some sightings of band members out and about.

Milan too as Garry Tallent spotted in Bellagio Lake Como on Monday.

On a more positive note..... The Boss is back Tonight in Spain !!!!!! I hope all goes well anyone attending from Iorr? If so would love to hear all about it.Peace.M

Not good news.
He is still struggling with his voice (Madrid 2 days ago):

That’s a fantastic set list. I think 11 different songs from the first night.

Saw the Boss last night at Nijmegen.
He knows how to throw a party with this big band of his. Absolute an evening of great fun.
A year ago I saw him at Landgraaf. Enough difference in the setlist to keep it interesting.
What I could do without is his story about his first band and his passed away friends he misses.
The fact that he told literally the same story a year ago and they even project subtitles
on the screen during his speach takes away a lot of the sincerity in my humble opionion.

That being said, I had a great evening!

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Start: 07:50pm approx.

01. Prove It All Night
02. My Love Will Not Let You Down
03. Candy's Room
04. Seeds
05. Death To My Hometown
06. Ghosts
07. Letter To You
08. The Promised Land
09. Waitin' On A Sunny Day
10. Hungry Heart
11. Light Of Day
12. If I Was The Priest
13. Downbound Train
14. Nightshift
15. Last Man Standing
16. Backstreets
17. Because The Night
18. She's The One
19. Wrecking Ball
20. The Rising
21. Badlands
22. Thunder Road
23. Seven Nights To Rock
24. Born In The U.S.A.

26. Glory Days
27. Dancing In The Dark
28. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
29. Twist And Shout
30. I'll See You In My Dreams


End: 10:44pm approx.

Nijmegen was a great night which started in the rain.
The band played with more power and energy then last year in Amsterdam in my opinion.
Although sometimes Bruce had some voice troubles which i noticed very well during Light of day although it was a great show. Absolute highlight was If I was a priest with fabulous guitar solo from Stevie.

30 SONGS!!!

Wow.

How much money WOULD Sony make though. After promotion/production/distribution costs, selling a few hundred/a few thousand copies, WOULD they actually make anything?

Nice piece on CBS Sunday Morning regarding the crafting/making of what I consider to be Springsteen's single best record- Nebraska.

The dude is also a billionaire now. Pretty impressive given his humble roots.

Enjoyed it. It was a re-aired segment, for what it’s worth.

So, I believe Bruce is 74. He is still going super strong. Do we think he will play live longer than the Stones when all is said and done? Mick and Keith are just 6 years older than him and he looks like he could go for a long time. Yes I know he had that flare up but that doesn't seem to have even slowed him down after recovery.

I often think about this. Love Bruce and ESB and see them every shot I get. Looking forward to DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and (hopefully) Asbury. I think for Bruce’s longevity, it would be wise to change his touring strategy after 2025 to something more aligned to the Stones. He could do 15 European stadium shows and 8-10 USA stadium shows with 3-4 days off in between May-September

After the documentary, arte shows the 2009 concert 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' - [www.arte.tv] , [www.arte.tv] .

My friend and I were discusing BS last night. Were my friend asked me to name an electric guitar solo he plays in concert.. I know he poses with a guitar in almost
every picture you see of him but without going over my many CD collection. I was lost to answer.
Help needed.

Any solid rumours for Europe next year, outside of the rearranged 4x shows and heavily tipped 2/3 in Gothenburg?

Yes there are rumors about Greece, Germany, France and Hungary

Bruce came on with Zach Bryan last night in Philadelphia

Atlantic City
Sandpaper
Revival

Keeping busy before resuming in Pittsburgh next week

2024-09-15 - BEACH, SURF STAGE, ASBURY PARK, NJ

LONESOME DAY / BLINDED BY THE LIGHT / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET? / GROWIN' UP / THE PROMISED LAND / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / THUNDERCRACK / THE E STREET SHUFFLE / 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY) / HUNGRY HEART / LOCAL HERO / ATLANTIC CITY / TOUGHER THAN THE REST (with Patti Scialfa) / LONG WALK HOME / RACING IN THE STREET / BECAUSE THE NIGHT / SHE'S THE ONE / WRECKING BALL / THE RISING / BADLANDS / THUNDER ROAD / MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER / JUNGLELAND / BORN TO RUN / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) / BOBBY JEAN / DANCING IN THE DARK / TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT / TWIST AND SHOUT / JERSEY GIRL

Bruce and the band headline the Sea.Hear.Now Festival with an epic 30-song set. Five tour premieres are performed, as well as rare appearances for "Growin' Up", "Local Hero", and "Tougher Than The Rest" (featuring a guest spot from Patti Scialfa). Tour debut "Meeting Across The River" into "Jungleland" opens the encore, completing the Born To Run album for the tour. The show closes, appropriately, with "Jersey Girl". Before his own set, Bruce joins the previous act on the stage, the Trey Anastasio Band, to perform "Kitty's Back". "Last Man Standing" and "Backstreets" are each dropped for the first time on the tour, making this the tour's first show without a single song from Letter To You in the set. Also on Sunday's bill are The Gaslight Anthem (with whom Bruce also guested during their set), Norah Jones, Kool & The Gang, Action Bronson, Gogol Bordello, Joy Oladokun, Wilderado, The Aces, Eggy, Illiterate Light, Bertha, Sunshine Spazz, and Rachel Ana Dobken.

AND he turned up at the Stone Pony the night before for a late night jam. Bruce was in full God mode this weekend. How a year will change from the ulcer he was dealing with last September.

and he also guested with the Gaslight Anthem, and with Trey Anastasio...

Wow. Local hero indeed.

And here I was damned happy with the 3 hour show we got (after two reschedulings) Saturday Sep 7th in DC Nats' Park.

1. Seeds
2. Prove It All Night
3. Lonesome Day
4. Ghosts
5. Darkness On The Edge Of Town
6. The Promised Land
7. Hungry Heart
8. Reason To Believe
9. Atlantic City
10. Youngstown
11. Long Walk Home
12. E Street Shuffle
13. Nightshift
14. Racing In The Street
15. Last Man Standing
16. Backstreets
17. Because The Night
18. She's The One
19. Wrecking Ball
20. The Rising
21. Badlands
22. Thunder Road

Encore 1
23. Born To Run
24. Rosalita
25. Bobby Jean
26. Dancing In The Dark
27. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
28. Twist And Shout

Encore 2 (Bruce alone, acoustic)
29. I'll See You In My Dreams

Bruce was well rested from two weeks off since his Philly shows, hale and hearty, pumped and in as strong of voice as he gets at this age.

Four I would have most liked replaced: Youngstown, Nightshift, Last Man Standing, and Wrecking Ball, but no complaints all tbings considered.

That Asbury Park show, though. I'm most envious of: Jungleland, Meeting Across the River, Spirit in the Night, 4th of July Asbury Park (Sandy), and Tougher Than the Rest

Wow! Those are some GREAT setlists! Although I must say I actually love the Nightshift version he does and Wrecking Ball, the other two I agree are less fun. Ya can't have too much Soul a la The Boss!!!!
