Springsteen VIII - 2014, tour, album, etc.

[Hewson]

Should be an easy ticket to obtain.

 

[martha]

Well crap. I already have a musical commitment that day. I guess he forgot to check my schedule first.

Nils looked like a Dickens character.


I like Bruce Springsteen.

I finally got around to The Ties That Bind outtakes collection. It's a much less consistent bag than The Promise, but there are some stunners on there, most notably Stray Bullet. It's nice to hear Bruce having fun, though, as he sounds pretty damn enthused and almost goofy on a lot of those tracks.

So flights to Newark & Philly have been cancelled due to snow. If anybody now has a ticket that you can't use for Sunday's gig at MSG, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for face.

Oops wrong thread

 

[prbiker15]

Tomorrow's show at MSG has been postponed.

Yeah, I should have been having pre-show dinner with a pal right now. Looking like I will have to wait until late March for the re-schedule.

The Chicago show recording has been offered up for free as a "sorry bout that" for fans.

 

[bono_212]

Another show has been added in LA. Tix on sale Friday.

 

[martha]

Dammit. It's the 19th. I already have another musical commitment that evening.

That's the normal tour routing itinerary, Portland, Seattle, New York, Denver.

 

[corianderstem]

Fuck yeah.

People keep telling me the PNW isn't "Bruce country" (i.e., profitable, I guess?) anymore, but he hasn't actually skipped the PNW in several tours. I knew we'd get at least one date. And yay, I don't have to travel!

And since this isn't "Bruce country," I'm assuming tickets will be much easier to get. That's how that works, right? :win:

I'm not too worried. Going for a single ticket and not wanting GA, I should be good. I've never had issues in the past.

 

[corianderstem]

Got my Seattle ticket. 9th row, section right near stage. WHOO!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nice

 

[trevgreg]

Just bought myself a GA ticket for the St. Paul show in two weeks. My first Springsteen show ever, so should be a good time!

So, the Dancing in the Dark video. That's not live right? Like obviously the footage is, but it's the studio take with crowd noise thrown in? And what's the story with Courtney Cox? Was that a genuine-pull-a-random-up-from-the-crowd? Or was it orchestrated?

 

[martha]

I think I remember that there were the three girls in the audience, all put there by the producer, but Bruce was going to pick one at random and it was Courtney.

That's the story that was told at the time.

Bruce picked people out of the audience to dance with him at shows all the time, sometimes girls, sometimes boys.

Directed by Brian DePalma, the video was filmed at the St. Paul Civic Center in Minnesota on June 28, 1984. The audience was not real: it was made up of about 200 extras. Courteney Cox got the role of the adoring fan in the front row who gets to dance on stage with Bruce. She landed a role on the sitcomFamily Tiessoon after.

But they then performed the song twice at the show that night for additional footage in the video.

 

[cobl04]

Cool, thanks. How close was the version they played to the album version? The live versions I've heard in person have been great but more guitars and less synths.

Geez he was/still is a good looking man.
