Stockholm it is....Rockin' with The boss!
I bet he's gonna "work" during the week, and fly home to be with the kiddies on weekends.Nightsong said:Weekend dates seem to be lacking.....
Lemonboy said:It's Max Weinberg's "Fault". Conan is recording tuesday to friday. That's the reason.
Pop Artist said:
Can't be his fault then since most of the dates are DURING the taping week. I'll go with the being with the family on weekends theory for the scheduling.

the max thing may actually be true... look at the shows that fall from tuesday through friday...
hartford
philadelphia
jersey
new york
oakland- friday
boston
st. paul- friday
pittsburgh
albany
all of the shows that fall on a tuesday through thursday are easily accesable by a short private plane ride... except for pittsburgh they're all easily reached by car or helicopter. the two shows that fall within conan's taping period that aren't a short distance away both fall on friday. these shows don't always tape fridays... i know letterman often tapes two shows on thursday. and even if they did tape on friday, max would only have to miss one taping instead of the multiple shows he'd have to miss if he had to go to oakland on, say, wednesday.
there could be some merit to the thought... then again, it could be complete bullshit.
my main issue with these dates isn't so much that they're on weekdays... more that they interfere with the baseball playoffs. i ain't missing a playoff game to go see bruce. heck, i'd skip a u2 concert if my team was in a game 7 that night.

The same as with Radio Nowhere the guitars way to loud....Not saying I don't like screaming guitars but hey He has the ESB for a reason...so might as well use them.

I don't think the guitars are too loud. Plus for me the more Bruce guitar the better. And I don't think they were that loud on The Rising either but one thing I agree with you, they didn't used the E Street Band much, specially Clarence, on that album. The Rising doesn't sound like the E Street Band is there at all sometimes, with the exception of a few moments where it's clear Max Weinberg drumming. It feels like it's some very good and professional band Bruce put together to play with him. Still that's one of my favorite albums anyway, amazing songwritting. The fact that we hear a saxophone solo on this new single is to me a good indication that this next album might sound more like Bruce Springsteen and The E Street band. Hopefully there will be lots of Little Steve backing vocals, Roy's amazing piano and of course Max's energetic drumming (not to mention C's sax!).
Lemonboy said:
Yes there is a sax solo on Radio Nowhere, however it is drenched by the guitars, and I can't hear Roy Bittan at all....again I don't mind loud guitars, but the other instruments has to stand back to much.
TheBrazilianFly said:True, I don't hear Roy as much as I would like to either. And I could use more Litte Steven bvs there too.
Westport said:It's a fairly brief tour.

Dear, this is why God gave us the ability to store phone numbers in our cell phones. I once pulled off the two-lane across the Mojave desert an scored a decent seat to the last Bruce show I saw.
