Oggetto del messaggio:  ASBURY PARK 25 SETTEMBRE
Night two of rehearsals by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Asbury Park's Convention Hall was a much tighter and cohesive performance than Monday.
The sound was much better, the band seemed to on the same page and the setlist did flow better.
Show started at 8:40 p.m.
Bruce led the band out and said "Good evening guinea pigs. We had a good time last night. We did F *** up a bit."
Then Bruce said "Is Any one alive out there?"
And he broke into
1. Radio Nowhere
As I wrote last night, this is a great opener. There's a jamming part toward the end of the song which reminded me of how Bruce and Max really got into it toward the end of "My Love Will Not Let You Down" on the Reunion Tour.

2. Prove It All Night
What can you say. It's a classic. Seeing Steve and Bruce trade the "yeah" "yeah" at the end is still awesome after all these years.
I felt this worked much better as a second song than "No Surrender" last night.

3. Lonesome Day
Completed a nice three-pack for the opener.

4. Gypsy Biker
Bruce dedicated this to "friends who has lost some friends in Iraq."
Steven has a nice guitar solo in this song.

Before the next song, Bruce went over to talk to Danny and Max. Not sure if he was talking about how something was played on Gypsy Biker or setting up the next song which was:

5. Magic
Bruce said: "We are living in a time when some things that seem true are a lie and things we think are a lie are the truth. Hey it's true, I saw it on TV.
"Watch out for that magic."
Basically its just Bruce on an acoustic guitar then Patti joins in with him on some of the vocals. She does those repeat parts.
Soozie also plays some violin.
Bruce and Patti kissed at the end of the song.
Bruce then said: "Gentlemen, prepare yourself" and the band broke into

6. Night
Rocked as usual, got the crowd up.

7. She's the One
Another song that rocks. Bruce is all over the stage on this song. He works the sides from one end to the other.

At the end of the song Bruce said: "Welcome to the world famous air conditiioned Convention Hall. Some day everthing comes back and so will the air conditioning."
It was again hot in Convention Hall, but not as bad as Monday night, I thought.


8. Livin' In the Future
Bruce said this was the first song he wrote for the new record. He mentioned how some things are what they are, like "Cheesebrugers, hot dogs, the Jersey Shore, and motorcycles. Then there some things that are happening like wire tapping, torture and oversupression.
Things that were not American but anti-American are happening in this country now."

9. Promised Land
Nice guitar work by Nils and Steve together, just as in past tours,.
One of my female friends wanted me to mention that Bruce makes sure he turns his back to the audience when he struts across the stage on this song, so his female fans can see his butt.
OK, I mentioned it.

10. Town Called Heartbreak.
From Patti Scialfa's new album.
Bruce said this was a "work in progress."
At first Patti's guitar wasn't working and she had to change guitars.
Bruce said "A guitar is a sexy thing!"
Bruce and Patti trade lead vocals. Nils, Soozie and Clarence join in on the backup vocals. Nils also plays some guitar.
It is a work in progress but could/will turn out to be a nice duet with Bruce and Patti.
Bruce told the audience that Patti's new album is in the stores now.


11. Darlington County
Probably better here than in an encore spot. Again Bruce works the entire stage. Clarence and Soozie play off each other with the sax and violin. Works well.


12.Born in the USA
Great live song. Hasn't changed much from the past. Crowd always loves it.

13. Devil's Arcade
Bruce again dedicated this "to the Iraqui War veterans."
Powerful song, although the crowd seems slow in reacting to it.


14. The Rising
A little sound distortion in the beginning with Soozie's violin then everything was fine.

15. Last To Die
I like this song in concert. Should play well.

16. Long Walk Home
I thought this would be the set closer but Bruce surprised us when the band kept hitting away and they went into:

17. Badlands
Got the crowd up. Everyone was doing the "whooo -ooooh -ohhhh" parts.
Never thought of this as the main set closer but I thought it worked well.

Main set ends at 10:15 p.m.

Bruce said "Can you hear us on the beach?" as they had opened up the doors on the north side of Convention Hall and the people on the boardwalk and beach were able to hear and see a bit.

Encores:
18. Girls in their Summer Clothes
Bruce said: "How's it doing outside. It's a beautiful night out there. Nice and cool in here too," he said kiddingly.
He continued: "This is for everyone on the beach and the Girls in their Summer Clothes.
Nice sax solo by Clarence toward the end.

19. Thundercrack
Bruce said: "This is one of the first songs I wrote. Goes back to the original band. Clarence, Danny, Garry and Mad Dog Vincent Lopez wherever he may be tonight.
"We learned this as our first showstopper. I also thought this song was kind of weird."
This was always one of my favorite Bruce songs from the early bootlegs and I love hearing it by the E Street Band in 2007. Not sure much of the crowd is familair with the song though.
Nice jam by Soozie, Nils, Clarence and Bruce toward the end.
Bruce had some fun with the crowd on the "All Night" parts.
Bruce blew a kiss to the crowd at the end of the song.

20. Born to Run
Just as last night and 500 other shows. House lights go up, crowd goes crazy.
Bruce introducted the band at the end of the song.

Bruce talked about how good it was to be back in Asbury Park and to rehearse there. He said "Asbury Park is back and the town is alive. Thank you to the folks who have been supporting it. Visiti downtown, go visit Lance and Debbie across the stret at the Wonder Bar."
Clarence then came over and said something to Bruce and Bruce said:
"Clarence was playing the Wonder Bar when I first met him. I was playing the Student Prince and Clarence walked over and that was the first time we played together and the start of our friendship."
Bruce then brought up Jeremy Chatzky and Kurt Ramm from the Seeger Sessions Band for the finale:

21. American Land
Bruce spoke a little bit about some of the great American music he played on the Seeger Sessions Tour. Jeremey played the stand-up bass and Curt Ramm played the trumpet.
Double accordian play again by Danny and Roy.

Show over at 10:48 p.m.

Some notes:
I thought this was a much better show than Monday. Just seemed much more together and cohesive. Set list worked better.
They still have some kinks to work out but it will be a fun show to see and will have you rocking.
Saw Bruce's mom and aunts in the crowd tonight as well as Jesse Malin. Greg Liszt, the banjo player from the Sessions Band, was also at the show.
That's it for the rehearsals in Asbury Park.
Thank you for reading my reports and for the feedback. I appreciate it.

La sto ascoltando proprio adesso (la versione dal disco di Patti). Non mi sembra poi male. Certo che se dovrà sacrificarne una delle sue per farci ascoltare la canzone della moglie... :roll:

Oggetto del messaggio: 
io francamente faccio fatica a capirvi.
giudicare le prove mi sembra fare un processo alle intenzioni. questa si, questa no, è troppo corto, etc.
i ragazzi stanno provando, lasciamoli lavorare. poi se negli show ci sarà qualcosa che non va ognuno dirà la sua.

e poi anche giudicare i conceri dalle eventuali "chicche" proposte mi sembra un pò ridicolo. si pure io vorrei sentire the promise o point blank ma va considerato anche il pischello che magari non ha mai ascoltato live btr o th. road.

1) L'album di Patti è uscito insieme a quello di Bruce ..... sono insieme in tour ...... quindi è probabile che una cantatina gliela faccia fare ....... magari riattaccando anche lo spinotto della chitarra.
2) Credo che la durata standard del concerto sia 2h / 2h15m ..... poi forse in alcuni concerti potrà aumentare .... ma .......
3) Ormai ho il biglietto ....... mi tocca andarci comunque :lol:
