When did Max Wienberg join the E Street Band?

As achtung_girl said, 1974. Vini Lopez was the drummer for the first two albums, and they fired him because of his temper and his unruly behavior. Boom Carter briefly replaced him, and was the drummer on "Born to Run," which was recorded months earlier than the rest of the Born to Run album. Max Weinburg drummed on the other seven tracks.

.... so your friend thinks that only 50-year-old alcoholics listen to Bruce? How bizarre.

Quite bizarre.

So the other night in Hamburg, he played Held Up Without A Gun.

It's only like a minute long, but that song kicks ass. I would have loved to have heard that one.

They were playing Winterland on E Street Radio at lunchtime today.

I was late coming back because I just kept wanting to listen to more of it (even though I have it on disc, somewhere).

Winterland

Still no Darkness news. I'm starting to think it ain't gonna happen.

Ah...

I would be tempted to make an Alyssa Milano joke here, but that's better left to those of us with um, baseball bats.


(What? It's early... )

 

[Nightsong]

Wow what an amazing setlist!!!

 

[phanan]

You know, I've been monitoring this European leg, and how the shows are getting longer, more rarities are being played, and I seriously hope I'm wrong here, but I'm getting the sense that they are pulling out all the stops now because the tour is coming to a close in a couple of months and, well, who knows if we see the E Street Band intact again...

I posed a query to you in the Pearl Jam thread (can't find your email address), its last minute, but let me know quick.

 

[U2democrat]

Hi all

I just got GA's for St. Louis. I've never seen Bruce live and the opportunity was too great to pass up.
Does anyone know how the GA system works for this show?

Hello there stranger. A blast from the past.

If they follow how other shows have been done, on the day of the show you go to get your numbered wristband, and usually a couple of hours before the show, they will announce the starting number, and generally a couple of hundred get into the pit, depending on its size.

You're gonna have a blast. Trust me on this.

Ahem. :slapsrailskankhaton:

Not sure if it's changed at all since the fall leg, but prepare for a lottery.

When I went you'd go into the venue, get a wristband then told to come back at 5, at which point they draw a number and 300 or so after that number are the lucky ones who get into the pit. Everyone else gets the rest of the floor.

Good luck!
