Bruce Springsteen Forum

Another fun day at Convention Hall in Asbury Park.
Bruce rehearsed a song from "the vault" and a member of the E Street Band stopped for a few minutes to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.
Biggest crowd for the rehearsals so far, about 60 to 70 people, probably because it was another beautiful day at the Jersey Shore and many schools were closed because of the Jewish Holiday.
Again the speakers were out playing radio station WHTG 106.3 FM.
My thanks to Kram and his friends for filling me in on some of the songs played today:
1. Radio Nowhere
2. Badlands
3. Something In The Night
4. Gypsy Biker
5. Long Walk Home
6. Darlington County
7. The Rising
8. Thundercrack
Bruce worked on this a few times.
9. Girls in Their Summer Clothes
(very nice sax solo toward the end)

Some people though they also heard "Cynthia" being rehearsed but they weren't 100 percent sure.


Music finished at 1 p.m .
Steve Van Zandt was the first to leave and again he stopped to pose for pictures. He did not sign any autographs but he did take quite a few pictures with people today.
Max and Roy then left, followed by Garry Tallent who was carrying Bruce''s "Tracks" four-CD set in his hand.
Bruce left about 1:35 p.m. He did a nice slow drive out of Convention Hall and gave a few waves to the fans gathered around.
Clarence Clemons then came out and he stopped to sign autographs and pose for pictures for a few minutes. That was very nice of Clarence.
He asked us "Are you ready to rock?" and everyone said "yeah!" Someone then said to Clarence, "Are you ready?" and he said "Oh yea, I'm going to be rockin!"
When Clarence finished signing, everyone gave him a round of applause.
Jon Landau was at the rehearsals today.

Wenn ich das so sehe, Radio Nowhere gefolgt von einem schönen, knappen Badlands wär doch eine geile opening section.

Thundercrack wäre mal ein echter Knaller live!

Yes, a Seeger Sessions song by the E Street Band.

Max, Clarence, Steven, Soozie and Garry all stopped today to sign autographs. There weren't that many people around, 20 at the most.
Steven was talking about the Emmys and how he and the cast of The Sopranos was so happy that David Chase won a wrting Emmy for the Sopranos, as he wrote the final episode.
They had a beautiful 1960s Blue SS Chevy Camaro out by Convention Hall today and I had a feeling they would be doing a photo shoot.
The car was pulled onto the boardwalk on the north side of Convention Hall about 3 p.m. and about 15 minutes late Bruce came out to pose for pictures by the car and on the boardwalk.
There was a large group of people around now, maybe 60 or so, but they were very cooperative and stood back as Bruce posed for all types of photos around the car.
The photographer was from Rolling Stone and I believe Bruce will be on the cover of a future Rolling Stone issue.
They then took shots of Bruce on the boardwalk standing by the rail with the ocean behind him. They also took pictures of Bruce by the building just north of Convention Hall, the old pavillion that's now painted all white.
The Camaro was then pulled up the ramp to the side of Convention Hall and Bruce posed for more pictures for the photographer on the hood of the car and in front of the car.
I'm sure pictures of the photo shoot will be posted on the Internet shortly. There were a lot of fans around with cameras taking pictures.
It was very interesting to see Bruce pose for the photos and how the photographers set the shots up.
Bruce left a little while later and didn't stop to sign any autographs.
