Wow, this is great! He played a concert in his old grade school for the locals? That’s kind of awesome. Not many musicians can say that.

We made a tribute to Clarence Clemons after the recent sad news about his stroke. All his best moments with the boss:

been wondering if Springsteen has had his genealogy done. Springsteen is a Huguenot name that goes back to the 1600′s on the east coast.

I am so glad I found this list! My husband and I were at the Pearl Jam concert where Eddie Vetter sent out 60th birthday greetings to Mr. Springsteen. (Frankly that was the highlight of the Pearl Jam show for me.)After seeing Bruce so many times, we’ve decided every other performer ends up being a let down. I’m a romance writer and at my blog this week I’m match songs from Working on a Dream up with various genres of romance. You guys are experts so feel free to come help. Thanks!

When I was in High School 25 plus years ago, i got sent to rehab and the counselors wouldn’t let us listen to my then favorite band, the Grateful Dead, so a friend gave me Greetings and I wore the tape out…it got me through 6 of the craziest weeks of my life…and i still love bruce. always will.

Great list, but a couple of nit-picking:

I think Roy and Max’s first night, was the night before at the Main Point. The day of the Tower show, he stopped by WMMR’s Ed Sciacky and played a new tune for the listeners. It was Born To Run. He didn’t promise to play it, since the band was new……seems like yesterday!

Also, didn’t know about The Ramones and Hungry Heart, but do know it was first played at Max’s wedding in ’80 or ’81.

Great links….thanks for the list!

BRUCE wrecked me with Wrecking Ball, what a great song. And on Friday nite, The Light in Darkness with the whole album Darkness on The Edge of Town in sequence. Damn that is going to be amazing!

Bruce is way overrated. Clarence rules though

Regarding No. 17: I asked Bruce about this when I interviewed him in 2007. The first time I’d heard the story was in Paul Nelson and Lester Bangs’s ROD STEWART book. In a give-and-take between the two critics, Nelson said, “… [T]his kid recognized [Bruce] as he was buying a ticket and said, ‘Hey, you wanna sit with me?’ And he sat with him, and the kid said, ‘Hey, you wanna come home and talk and my motherâ€™ll fix us some things?’ And Bruce went home with the kid and spent the whole night with the kid.”

The way Bruce told it to me: “I was by myself. I sort of enjoyed the license that that strange part of my job, where people recognize you, allowed me to kind of step into peopleâ€™s lives, and it was just a night where I wasnâ€™t doing anything and it just sounded like a good idea. The kid ran into his room and came out with an album cover and held it up next to me [laughs] after we came in the door.”

Bruce is an angel sent from the heavens above to echo the voices we have inside of us, sitting on our shoulders and making the world a magical place to be in…. in a world with springsteen there is no end to the wonders. He got all the redemption under his not-so-dirty-hood. The greatest thing that happened to me in my discovery of music!!!
