Springsteen, Part IV

[corianderstem]

That was my thought, too. It's not on the Hammersmith concert DVD. Are you thinking of Kitty's Back, which goes on and on and on and on for about forever and a day?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i play that version of kitty's back whenever i reeeeeeally wanna annoy someone who's with my in the car and doesn't like my music.

"sure you can use the iPod... just let me listen to one more song..."

 

[elevation2u]

It's on the Making of Born To Run disc, on the menu there's an option to a 1973 Los Angeles show, it only has three songs but it's awesome!
Spirit in the Night
Wild Billys Circus
Thundercrack

I just heard Thundercrack for the first time on the Tracks boxset. Excellent fucking song.

Has it been played live recently?

Thundercrack has been one of my favorites ever since I heard it on the old Main Point bootleg...was great hearing it live at the last rehearsal show in September...there's a good video from the Philly show YouTube - Bruce Springsteen - Thundercrack
He stopped playing it in 74 and didn't play it again until 2001 at the Christmas shows. Wasn't played outside of Asbury Park at all until 2005 and only 12 times outside of NJ since then-so it was definitely a great treat on this tour if you got to see it!

I forgot about the bonus tracks on the making of disc. I love that little making of BTR thing - very cool.

Sirius is doing an all live Bruce weekend

I've had the radio on another station all weekend but when I turned it to the E Street station I heard the promo.

 

[martha]

I'm still a bad fan. I've yet to watch the making of. Like I say, though, I like to listen, not watch.

 

[Irishteen]

I just saw Springsteen for the first time tonight, he was simply brilliant.

Because the Night

OH YEAH! That was the first time I heard the song

 

[bono_212]

Well i've finally heard the Rising al the way through. Only thing I have to say is

wow,congrats!!!I think I would have died, 26 songs, awesome set...

You've only just heard it now?

 

[bono_212]

You've only just heard it now?

Irented it from the library and ripped it. I knew Mary's, Rising, and Lonesome, but Man this is good all together

 

[corianderstem]

Mary's Place is one of maybe 2 tracks on that album I don't care for. Listening to bootlegs now, I can't even make it through that song ... did it really need to be a 13-minute tour performance? It's like he was trying for a new Rosalita ... but failing. Oh well.

I FINALLY finished downloading a torrent of that pro-shot Paris BitUSA concert. It took me nearly a week to download that sucker. But it was worth it - it looks awesome!

 

[Irishteen]

Definitely, especially the two extra songs at the end

I've only watched the first hour of that concert so far, but Jesus, Glory Days is hilarious.

I like Mary's Place. I don't really know why, and can def. understand why people hate it.

BTW...Who the F*** is Mary ANYWAYS?

 

[martha]

Isn't one of his sisters named Mary? The younger one?

 

[corianderstem]

I don't know, but she has a place. We should meet there.

 

[martha]

We could have a party.

 

[bono_212]

If Mary is his sister, I don't want to know

But she is the Queen of Arkansas...is that where her place is?

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, I hope not. I went to Arkansas once. Once was enough.

 

[bono_212]

I have to drive through arkansas long-ways to get home from texas(or to go to texas) and all I can say is that if Mary IS the queen, she sucks pretty hard-corp at her job. F'n boring backwards state right there

 

[martha]

She's too busy havin' a party.

 

[bono_212]

At her place? HAHA! We went full circle!

It's a shame that they dropped Thundercrack from the current tour after the first dozen or so shows. I understand most people don't know what it is and therefore it doesn't get the same reaction as Kitty's Back or Rosalita, but damn, what an awesome song.

i think the problem with thundercrack was it's location in the setlist... songs that people don't know tend to drain the energy out of the crowd. i thought the energy came down for american land at the garden show in october, as well... but in march at the nassau coliseum the crowd seemed much more into it. maybe it was 'cause more people knew it by then, maybe it was near st. patrick's day, maybe i was more drunk... i dunno.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, that's a good point. Perhaps the encores wasn't the best place for it. Maybe near the end of the main set would have been better.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I heard Mary's Place this morning on the drive in and thought of this thread.

I just wish these new dates would be confirmed already.

 

[dazzledbylight]

He still looks in prime shape for being his age.
Sorry guys, had to do it.

oh, hell, LMPA....he looks better than a bunch of men 10 years younger than himself!

sorry guys, had to coment on this!
