Springsteen VI ~ A Dream Awaits in Aisle Two

[bono_man2002]

Ya gotta come to Australia Bruce!, Ya gotta!

 

[AndrewCowley]

So is it a stadium tour then? If he tours Australia I'd love it to be arenas. 4-5 dates per city. I think that would pretty much match his popularity in Australia. Anyone think this is a chance? If stadiums then will it be a GA arrangement?

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Rolling Stone says they have heard it will be arenas in the US, don't know about Europe. Their rumor is that US starts in April. Maybe East Coast first and that's why it would be indoors, I don't know. It's all just rumors at this point.

Read it in our national media today. I didn't even know there was a new album on the way. I hope it will be better than his last one, though it sounds like the album will be more or less a vehicle to go on tour. The tour will be a strange thing without Clarence

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He tends to do arenas first to get the kinks out before moving to stadiums. There are no elaborate stage setups so he can so whatever he wants.

The European dates release so far seem to be all stadium and festival shows.

 

[last unicorn]

It's confirmed, he'll play in my city next year in July.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I've seen some rumors for Nassau coliseum and mohegun sun, but so far nothing for NYC or NJ

Any dates for the rumoured US dates? There are also rumours going on that he will play in Australia around August/September. If this happens I will loose my shit

Here's a summary of the rumors floating around right now: Bruce Springsteen World Tour Dates – Official & Rumored | Blogness on the Edge of Town

I hope they're true, as I have vacation from work scheduled around the time of the DC show.

 

[corianderstem]

Bah, those rumors are unacceptable. Nothing in the Pacific Northwest. (I know, I know, it's just rumors right now.)

 

[LemonMelon]

April 19

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yes sir.

 

[bono_212]

See ya there, pal.

Thanks for the link. Oh god I hope the rumors are true....PLEASE BE TRUE!

 

[cobl04]

I'll be there. Any word on who'll play sax?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Probably yo momma.

 

[bono_212]

Don't even want to think about it, but I'm sure whoever it is will be quite talented.

Hmmm...looks like Boston comes up kind of early on. Then again, he shows up in CT a few weeks later.

I saw one show of his 1992-1993 tour (the one with the "other" band), and I actually caught it when the band was finally getting their act together. Certainly not E Street levels, but a damn good show regardless. Something like 33 songs that night (saw ZooTV 10 days later - it was a good month).

Anyway, one of the members of that band was Crystal Taliefero, and she pretty much knows how to play any instrument there is. Obviously sax was not a prominent instrument during that tour, but for one song - Born To Run - she'd whip out a small sax and play that solo, and she was great. I'd like to see her added to E Street.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'd bet on jake clemons... some sort of reformation of the miami horns would have been my first guess, but considering as they're all pretty much committed to doing Conan four nights a week, i doubt that'll happen. it was one thing when just max would leave... but to take the entire band out, i dunno.

 

[LemonMelon]

One of the most badass moments in Springsteen history has to be the bass line in the pre-chorus of Spirit In The Night. The song is cruising along nicely, being all funky and cool, and then out of nowhere this bass just smacks you in the face. Siiiiick.

I listen to Asbury Park often enough to notice this shit. Probably as much as Born To Run at this point.

 

[canedge]

hey everyone,

I just watched "Darkness on the Edge of Town" doc and was really blown away by the artistry of Bruce. Great video and better than From the Sky Down. I am just a casual fan but know I feel much more enlightened on his artistic process.

[martha]

C'mon, Brucie. Cough up the tour dates already.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I wonder what's going on

 

[martha]

Foot draggin' I'll wager.

[LemonMelon]

Not digging the suggestion of electronic percussion. Was Max not significantly involved with this album?

 

[martha]

sigh.

Just announce the dates already, dude. The album's just an excuse to tour anyway.
