Da Backstreets:
DATES ARE SET! SPRINGSTEEN REVS UP E STREET MACHINE FOR FALL
In an exclusive Backstreets interview, Springsteen talks about the tour and says Magic was "built for it."
The release of Bruce Springsteen's Magic isn't the only thing to look forward to on October 2 -- there's magic in the night, too, as an extensive E Street Band tour kicks off that evening in Hartford, CT.
The opening leg has Bruce and the band playing 16 North American cities through November 18 in Boston. Just after Thanksgiving, a European jaunt with 13 stops begins in Madrid and runs through December 19 in London. [For the full itinerary, see our Tour/Ticket info page]
Springsteen and the E Street Band played a brief series of dates in 2004, but their last full-scale outing was the tour for The Rising in 2002 and 2003. Since that time, Bruce has continued to tour extensively: as a solo artist in 2005, and with the Sessions Band last year, playing, as he put it at the time, everything that leads to rock music, but not rock music.
Reminded of that now, Springsteen says emphatically, "Yeah -- I'll be playing the rock music this time. " He laughs, adding, "In case anybody's wondering."
Speaking with Backstreets by phone as tour preparation gets underway, Springsteen makes it clear that he tapped his rock side for Magic, an album meant to be played live: "It's just built for it," he says. "I wrote with a lot of melody, and with a lot of hooks, and there's a lot of band power behind the stuff that I wrote this time out. So I'm excited to hear that come straight off the band."
The 2007 E Street Band line-up will be the same as in 2002-2003 -- including violinist Soozie Tyrell, a veteran of the Rising tour and of last year's Sessions Band. Though not mentioned in today's press release, Springsteen confirms, "Soozie will be with us."
He still raves about the Sessions Band -- "a tremendous discovery, and just such an amazing group of musicians" -- and says he looks forward to working with them again. But when he refers to "the band," it goes without saying that he means E Street.
"The band is the band, you know?" Springsteen says. "It's the only place where I really do the thing that I suppose that I'm most known for, which is... it's a peak experience."
For Springsteen, transition between styles is second nature. He's been doing it to a large degree since 1982's Nebraska, his stark solo record between the big E Street blasts of The River and Born in the U.S.A. As his sonic repertoire expands, his commitment to performance -- whatever the sound may be -- remains constant.
"For it to be really great, you've got to be 100 percent committed at that moment. So when you're in it, that's all there is," he explains. "I think that's what it takes to be really good. So I'll just lose myself in whatever form I'm working in at any given moment. And the other things seem distant: 'Oh yeah, I like to do that too, and I like to do that too...' But really, I'm very comfortable moving between all the different formats that I play in now."
In fact, it's much like -- and as easy as -- shifting gears. It's no surprise to hear Springsteen employ a car metaphor, with the E Street band as the hotrod, as he looks toward reconvening the band for tour rehearsals.
"First of all, we start playing just to feel the machine again," he says, describing what happens after they initially plug in. "You've gotta drive it a little bit before you push the envelope on it." While Springsteen recorded Magic with the E Street Band, the studio process had them laying down tracks individually; September rehearsals will bring them back together to work up the new material as a unit. "We may run through a few things we know, just to reacquaint ourselves with the sound and the power of the band. How it moves underneath you, and everything. That's sort of the first thing I do, I refit myself into that bucket seat. 'Oh yeah, okay, now I remember...' And that takes all of about 15 minutes."
After that? Well, it's early enough that he's not ready to say. "I don't really go in with any rigid ideas. I'm interested in seeing where the music is going to take us and where the band feels best.... I think the initial thing you try to do is to find a place for a lot of your new work. I'm excited about that. We played a lot of The Rising on the [2002-2003] tour because, once again, it was stuff that just played really well live. We've got that again in spades on this record.
"And then you've got to see what people respond to. I have a good idea, but it's still a conversation with your audience. And when they start listening, and talking back, then different things come to the front."
How about "The Price You Pay," from The River, which hasn't made a setlist since 1981?
"It's become a thing just because I haven't played it," Bruce laughs. "If I had played it, nobody would give much of a damn if they heard it or not! Just because it hasn't been played.... You know, my recollection is that it's been a while since we've played 'Crush on You.' And I'm not sure that one's going to be popping up in the set any time soon, either, you know?"
But it could, and that's one of the things that has had fans itching for the E Street Band to hit the road again -- the idea that anything can happen. "We leave the door very open, because over the course of a long tour, we end up playing so many songs.... obviously, we try to make the shows unique. I've got a lot of songs that I'm carrying around at this point, and it's fun to get to them as the tour goes along."
When Springsteen got the band back together in 1999, part of the joy of the reunion was the very fact that everyone was able to reunite. Sure, available, and arguably playing better than ever, but at a very basic level, alive. Many bands haven't been so lucky, a quarter-century down the road. Another eight years along, gearing up for the Magic tour, it's still the case.
"That's something that you become more grateful for as time passes," Bruce says. "You know, I just lost Terry [Magovern], my great friend of 23 years. That was a big loss. And so you're aware that things are finite. The band really did take care of one another over the years, and like I've always said, it's one of the things I'm proudest of. And I continue to be. I mean, there are a lot of ways that life can take you, and you never know what tomorrow brings. So to have that kind of stability -- and not only that, but also that the personal relationships remain so thoroughly enjoyable -- it's a great gift."
All things being finite, does it enter his mind that this could be the last time out? A "farewell tour"?
"Oh, I'll never do that, man -- you're only gonna know that when you don't see me no more."
Of course, no doubt -- but for the E Street Band as we know it?
"Hell, I don't know," Springsteen laughs. "I envision the band carrying on for many, many, many more years. There ain't gonna be any farewell tour. That's the only thing I know for sure."

Tradotta un po' su due piedi, comunque eccola qui:
DATE FISSATE! SPRINGSTEEN SCALDA LA MACCHINA E STREET PER L'AUTUNNO
In un intervista esclusiva a Backstreets, Springsteen parla del tour e dice che Magic è stato "fatto per questo"
L'uscita di Magic non è l'unica cosa per non vedere l'ora che arrivi il 2 ottobre - c'è anche magia nella notte, perché un tour esteso della E Street Band inizia quella sera a Hartford in Connecticut.
La tappa d'apertura vede Bruce e la band suonare in 16 città nordamericane fino al 18 novembre a Boston. Subito dopo il Ringraziamento, un giro europeo con 13 fermate inizia a Madrid e arriva fino al 19 dicembre a Londra.
Springsteen e la E Street Band suonarono una breve serie di date nel 2004, ma la loro ultima uscita su larga scala è stata il tour per The Rising nel 2002 e 2003. Da allora, Bruce ha continuato ad andare in tour intensamente: da solo nel 2005 e con la Sessions Band lo scorso anno, suonando, come disse lui allora, tutto ciò che conduce alla musica rock, ma non il rock.
A proposito di questo adesso, Springsteen dice deciso: "Sì, questa volta suonerò rock". Ride aggiungendo: "Nel caso in cui qualcuno se lo stia chiedendo".
Parlando con Backstreets per telefono mentre i preparativi del tour sono in corso, Springsteen mette in chiaro che ha usato il suo lato rock per Magic, un album pensato per essere suonato dal vivo: "E' fatto per questo", dice, "L'ho scritto con molta melodia, e con parecchi ami, e c'è tanta potenza della band dietro le cose che ho scritto questa volta. Quindi sono eccitato a sentire tutto questo venire fuori dalla band".
La formazione della E Street Band sarà la stessa del 2002-2003, inclusa la violinista Soozie Tyrell, veterana del Rising Tour e della Session Band lo scorso anno. Anche se non citata nel comunicato stampa di oggi, Springsteen conferma: "Soozie sarà dei nostri".
E' ancora in delirio per la Sessions Band - "una scoperta straordinaria, un meraviglioso gruppo di musicisti" - e dice di essere impaziente di lavorare di nuovo con loro. Ma quando parla della "band", non c'è bisogno di dirlo che parla della E Street.
"La band è la band", dice Springsteen. "E' l'unica posto dove faccio davvero la cosa per cui sono più conosciuto, cioè ... E' una 'peak experience', una esperienza mistica".
Per Springsteen il passaggio di stili è una seconda natura. Lo sta facendo in gran parte dal 1982 con Nebraska, il suo spoglio disco solista fra le grandi esplosioni E Street di The River e Born in The USA. Mentre il suo repertorio sonoro si espande, l'impegno a suonare dal vivo, qualunque cosa sia, rimane costante.
"Per essere davvero grande, devi essere impegnato al 100 per cento in quel momento. Quando ci entri dentro, sta tutto lì", spiega, "Penso sia questo che lo fa riuscire davvero bene. Così sono immerso completamente in qualunque forma stia lavorando in un dato momento. E le altre cose sembrano distanti, come dire 'Sì, mi piace fare anche questo, e mi piace fare anche quest'altro ...'. Ma mi sento davvero a mio agio muovendomi fra i diversi formati che suono adesso".
In effetti, è come cambiare marce, e facile come cambiare marce. Non sorprende sentire Springsteen usare una metafora automobilistica, con la E Street Band come vettura hot rod, mentre si appresta a riconvocare la band per le prove del tour.
"Prima di tutto, iniziamo a suonare solo per risentire la macchina", dice, descrivendo cosa succede all'inizio dopo che hanno attaccato la spina. "Devi guidare un po' prima di spingersi fino al limite". Mentre Springsteen registrava Magic con la E Street Band, il processo in studio li vedeva ognuno registrare singolarmente le tracce; le prove di settembre li vedrà di nuovo tutti insieme per lavorare come gruppo al nuovo materiale. "Riproveremo alcune cose che conosciamo, solo per riabituarci al suono e alla potenza della band. Come si muove sotto di te, eccetera. Questa è la prima cosa che faccio, mi risistemo sul sedile. 'Ok, ora ricordo'. E questo richiede circa quindici minuti".
Dopo questo? E' abbastanza presto per dirlo, non è pronto. "Non entro con nessuna idea rigida. Sono interessato a vedere dove la musica ci porta e dove la band si sente al suo meglio ... Penso che la cosa iniziale sia di trovare molto spazio per il tuo nuovo lavoro. Mi eccita la cosa. Suonammo molto da The Rising nel tour del 2002-2003 perché, ancora una volta, il materiale suonava davvero bene dal vivo. In questo disco ne abbiano a bizzeffe".
"E poi devi vedere come risponde la gente. Ho una buona idea, ma è sempre una conversazione con il tuo pubblico. E quando loro iniziano ad ascoltare, e a rispondere, allora cose diverse vengono in primo piano".
Cosa pensi di The Price You Pay da The River, che non è stata suonata dal 1981?
"E' diventata una cosa solo perché non è stata suonata", ride Bruce. "Se l'avessi suonata, nessuno ci avrebbe fatto un dannato caso a sentirla o meno. Solo perché non è stata suonata ... Da quel che ricordo, è tanto tempo che non suoniamo Crush On You. E non credo che nemmeno questa salterà fuori in una prossima scaletta".
Ma potrebbe, ed è una di quelle cose per cui i fan muoiono dalla voglia della E Street Band di nuovo in tour - l'idea che qualunque cosa possa accadere. "Lasciamo la porta molto aperta perché nel corso di un lungo tour finiamo per suonare così tante canzoni ... ovviamente cerchiamo di rendere lo show unico. Ho tante canzoni che mi porto dietro a questo punto, ed è divertente arrivarci mentre il tour va avanti".
Quando Springsteen rimise insieme la band nel 1999, parte del piacere della riunione fu il fatto stesso che tutti fossero in grado di riunirsi. Sicuri, disponibili, e forse migliori di sempre, ma a livello base, vivi. Molti gruppi non sono stati così fortunati, un quarto di secolo in circolazione. Altri otto anni sono passati, preparandosi al Magic tour, il caso è lo stesso.
"E' qualcosa di cui diventi più grato con il passare del tempo", dice Bruce, "Ho appena perso Terry Magovern, il mio grande amico da 23 anni. E' stata una grossa perdita. E diventi consapevole che le cose non sono infinite. La band si è davvero preso cura l'uno dell'altro nel corso degli anni, e come ho sempre detto, è una delle cose di sono più orgoglioso. E continuo ad esserlo. Ci sono tanti modi che la vita può portarti e non sai mai cosa riserva il domani. Avere quel tipo di stabilità - e non solo quella, ma anche le relazioni personali rimangono del tutto piacevoli - è un grande dono".
Avendo tutte le cose una fine, ti fa venire in mente che questa potrebbe essere l'ultima volta? Un tour d'addio?
"Non lo farò mai - lo saprai quando non mi vedrai più".
Ovvio, non avevo dubbi - ma per la E Street Band come la conosciamo?
"Non lo so proprio", ride, "Prevedo la band andare avanti per molti, molti, molti anni ancora. Non ci sarà nessun tour d'addio. Questa è l'unica cosa che so per certa".

DATES ARE SET! SPRINGSTEEN REVS UP E STREET MACHINE FOR FALL In an exclusive Backstreets interview, Springsteen talks about the tour and says Magic was "built for it."
The release of Bruce Springsteen's Magic isn't the only thing to look forward to on October 2 -- there's magic in the night, too, as an extensive E Street Band tour kicks off that evening in Hartford, CT.
The opening leg has Bruce and the band playing 16 North American cities through November 18 in Boston. Just after Thanksgiving, a European jaunt with 13 stops begins in Madrid and runs through December 19 in London. [For the full itinerary, see our Tour/Ticket info page]
Springsteen and the E Street Band played a brief series of dates in 2004, but their last full-scale outing was the tour for The Rising in 2002 and 2003. Since that time, Bruce has continued to tour extensively: as a solo artist in 2005, and with the Sessions Band last year, playing, as he put it at the time, everything that leads to rock music, but not rock music.
Reminded of that now, Springsteen says emphatically, "Yeah -- I'll be playing the rock music this time. " He laughs, adding, "In case anybody's wondering."
Speaking with Backstreets by phone as tour preparation gets underway, Springsteen makes it clear that he tapped his rock side for Magic, an album meant to be played live: "It's just built for it," he says. "I wrote with a lot of melody, and with a lot of hooks, and there's a lot of band power behind the stuff that I wrote this time out. So I'm excited to hear that come straight off the band."
The 2007 E Street Band line-up will be the same as in 2002-2003 -- including violinist Soozie Tyrell, a veteran of the Rising tour and of last year's Sessions Band. Though not mentioned in today's press release, Springsteen confirms, "Soozie will be with us."
He still raves about the Sessions Band -- "a tremendous discovery, and just such an amazing group of musicians" -- and says he looks forward to working with them again. But when he refers to "the band," it goes without saying that he means E Street.
"The band is the band, you know?" Springsteen says. "It's the only place where I really do the thing that I suppose that I'm most known for, which is... it's a peak experience."
For Springsteen, transition between styles is second nature. He's been doing it to a large degree since 1982's Nebraska, his stark solo record between the big E Street blasts of The River and Born in the U.S.A. As his sonic repertoire expands, his commitment to performance -- whatever the sound may be -- remains constant.
"For it to be really great, you've got to be 100 percent committed at that moment. So when you're in it, that's all there is," he explains. "I think that's what it takes to be really good. So I'll just lose myself in whatever form I'm working in at any given moment. And the other things seem distant: 'Oh yeah, I like to do that too, and I like to do that too...' But really, I'm very comfortable moving between all the different formats that I play in now."
In fact, it's much like -- and as easy as -- shifting gears. It's no surprise to hear Springsteen employ a car metaphor, with the E Street band as the hotrod, as he looks toward reconvening the band for tour rehearsals.
"First of all, we start playing just to feel the machine again," he says, describing what happens after they initially plug in. "You've gotta drive it a little bit before you push the envelope on it." While Springsteen recorded Magic with the E Street Band, the studio process had them laying down tracks individually; September rehearsals will bring them back together to work up the new material as a unit. "We may run through a few things we know, just to reacquaint ourselves with the sound and the power of the band. How it moves underneath you, and everything. That's sort of the first thing I do, I refit myself into that bucket seat. 'Oh yeah, okay, now I remember...' And that takes all of about 15 minutes."
After that? Well, it's early enough that he's not ready to say. "I don't really go in with any rigid ideas. I'm interested in seeing where the music is going to take us and where the band feels best.... I think the initial thing you try to do is to find a place for a lot of your new work. I'm excited about that. We played a lot of The Rising on the [2002-2003] tour because, once again, it was stuff that just played really well live. We've got that again in spades on this record.
"And then you've got to see what people respond to. I have a good idea, but it's still a conversation with your audience. And when they start listening, and talking back, then different things come to the front."
How about "The Price You Pay," from The River, which hasn't made a setlist since 1981?
"It's become a thing just because I haven't played it," Bruce laughs. "If I had played it, nobody would give much of a damn if they heard it or not! Just because it hasn't been played.... You know, my recollection is that it's been a while since we've played 'Crush on You.' And I'm not sure that one's going to be popping up in the set any time soon, either, you know?"
But it could, and that's one of the things that has had fans itching for the E Street Band to hit the road again -- the idea that anything can happen. "We leave the door very open, because over the course of a long tour, we end up playing so many songs.... obviously, we try to make the shows unique. I've got a lot of songs that I'm carrying around at this point, and it's fun to get to them as the tour goes along."
When Springsteen got the band back together in 1999, part of the joy of the reunion was the very fact that everyone was able to reunite. Sure, available, and arguably playing better than ever, but at a very basic level, alive. Many bands haven't been so lucky, a quarter-century down the road. Another eight years along, gearing up for the Magic tour, it's still the case.
"That's something that you become more grateful for as time passes," Bruce says. "You know, I just lost Terry [Magovern], my great friend of 23 years. That was a big loss. And so you're aware that things are finite. The band really did take care of one another over the years, and like I've always said, it's one of the things I'm proudest of. And I continue to be. I mean, there are a lot of ways that life can take you, and you never know what tomorrow brings. So to have that kind of stability -- and not only that, but also that the personal relationships remain so thoroughly enjoyable -- it's a great gift."
All things being finite, does it enter his mind that this could be the last time out? A "farewell tour"?
"Oh, I'll never do that, man -- you're only gonna know that when you don't see me no more."
Of course, no doubt -- but for the E Street Band as we know it?
"Hell, I don't know," Springsteen laughs. "I envision the band carrying on for many, many, many more years. There ain't gonna be any farewell tour. That's the only thing I know for sure."
-interview by Christopher Phillips ma fra tutti voi che avete studiato ....... non l'avete ancora tradotta ? evidenziano dei pezzettini .... e poi ..... o yeah, grande ...... godo ..... sto male ....... ma pensate anche a chi conosce solamente il giapponese .... Tradotta un po' su due piedi, comunque eccola qui: DATE FISSATE! SPRINGSTEEN SCALDA LA MACCHINA E STREET PER L'AUTUNNO In un intervista esclusiva a Backstreets, Springsteen parla del tour e dice che Magic è stato "fatto per questo" L'uscita di Magic non è l'unica cosa per non vedere l'ora che arrivi il 2 ottobre - c'è anche magia nella notte, perché un tour esteso della E Street Band inizia quella sera a Hartford in Connecticut. La tappa d'apertura vede Bruce e la band suonare in 16 città nordamericane fino al 18 novembre a Boston. Subito dopo il Ringraziamento, un giro europeo con 13 fermate inizia a Madrid e arriva fino al 19 dicembre a Londra. Springsteen e la E Street Band suonarono una breve serie di date nel 2004, ma la loro ultima uscita su larga scala è stata il tour per The Rising nel 2002 e 2003. Da allora, Bruce ha continuato ad andare in tour intensamente: da solo nel 2005 e con la Sessions Band lo scorso anno, suonando, come disse lui allora, tutto ciò che conduce alla musica rock, ma non il rock. A proposito di questo adesso, Springsteen dice deciso: "Sì, questa volta suonerò rock". Ride aggiungendo: "Nel caso in cui qualcuno se lo stia chiedendo". Parlando con Backstreets per telefono mentre i preparativi del tour sono in corso, Springsteen mette in chiaro che ha usato il suo lato rock per Magic, un album pensato per essere suonato dal vivo: "E' fatto per questo", dice, "L'ho scritto con molta melodia, e con parecchi ami, e c'è tanta potenza della band dietro le cose che ho scritto questa volta. Quindi sono eccitato a sentire tutto questo venire fuori dalla band". La formazione della E Street Band sarà la stessa del 2002-2003, inclusa la violinista Soozie Tyrell, veterana del Rising Tour e della Session Band lo scorso anno. Anche se non citata nel comunicato stampa di oggi, Springsteen conferma: "Soozie sarà dei nostri". E' ancora in delirio per la Sessions Band - "una scoperta straordinaria, un meraviglioso gruppo di musicisti" - e dice di essere impaziente di lavorare di nuovo con loro.
