Death to My Hometown followed by My Hometown. Nice.

I wonder who plays the Morello-esque solo onw.

 

[Cruyff14]

There would be no solo, the beauty of the E-Street band is its versatility.

His second longest show ever apparently. Definitely one to buy on the live downloads.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

His second longest show ever apparently. Definitely one to buy on the live downloads.

Its those long Scandi sunny nights where the sun doesn't go down until about midnight. His longest show was in Finland a couple of years ago and I would not be surprised if most of his top 10 longest shows are in Scandinavia.

His third longest is a NYE show in 1980 in the US

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I know there is an Italian show, think Milan, that was close to 4 hours a few years ago I think the Magic ofr WOAD tour.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Melbourne 2 from 2014 would be up there. It cleared 3hrs 45m from memory.

 

[Cruyff14]

Think this clocked in at 3hr 45m.

3hr 47m.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, played 42 songs I think.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Think this clocked in at 3hr 45m.


3hr 47m.

I still remember at 10.50pm "we've got 10 minutes left", an hour later and they're still going.

Also remember getting a text from someone who lives in Collingwood "Is he playing Twist and Shout?".

 

[Cruyff14]

Think he got fined either $30k or $300k for exceeding the curfew. Not that either of those amounts really matter to him.

Yeah I think it finished around 11.47pm. Crazy show, of the 10 I have seen, it's my favourite - for obvious reasons.

Ha, yeah, it'd be bloody loud. But who gets a free rock show that often?

Hope the download gets released, although the power cut could jepoardise that.

 

[Cruyff14]

Interesting, didn't think of that.

Would be a shame considering the setlist.

"Steve, look over yonder, see the Eiffel Tower lights," Bruce said, beginningRamrod. Little did he know, his words would prove inauspicious. For the second time in just over four years, the E Street Band was too much for the Parisian power grid, and the lights and sound failed mid-song. The crowd went wild as the band kept right on playing, with lighting equipment crackling and sputtering overhead. Bruce, with a bewildered look on his face, led everyone to the front of stage to dance and play. The only sound that could be heard from the band were the drums and the occasional faint hint of saxophone.

The crowd filled the void with chanting and wild cheering as Bruce and the band marched their way onto the floor. Charlie and Nils picked up accordions to join the procession and try to be heard by the nearby crowd at least. Overhead speaker loops were calling for evacuation, but the fans refused to leave. By the time the band had made its slow circuit of the pit, the stage was crawling with techs trying to figure out what was going on.

The band circled around for an impromptu meeting on stage, Bruce and Patti laughing and gesturing at one another. Bruce asked to borrow a fan's sign and wrote his own request on the back — for five more minutes — and held it up for the crowd. Bruce, Patti, and Jake sat down on the front of stage and started signing autographs while Garry tossed water bottles to fans in the crowd. Annie Leibovitz even took to the stage and started snapping candid photos of the mayhem.

When the lights finally returned, the band performed a quick, 30-second sound check. Bruce took the microphone after what had been about a 20-minute intermission. "Stevie," he said, "Is it quitting time? Is it fuse-blowing time?" The crowd went crazy, the show returned to something like normalcy, and the band jumped right back in to the end of "Ramrod"like this was any other hijinks.

Bruce wasn't finished having fun with the band's misadventure. "Can you hear me?" he asked to start "Shout." "Are you sure?!" Bruce drenched himself in water, once for the front of stage and again for the back, and Steve cloaked Bruce in a shining coronation mantle embroidered with a "Boss" insignia. "You've just seen the heart-stopping, pants-dropping... rock out till the lights are out, legendary E Street Band," Bruce hollered before one last verse of "Shout."

Bruce took a moment to reflect on the evening before a solo acoustic "Thunder Road." "What a surprising night. What a great night," he said, "Electricity is on. It's off again. It's on. It's off. Nothing stops the mighty E Street Band. Thanks for sticking in with us." Rolling with the punches, Bruce and the band took full advantage of the smaller venue and stage to provide a uniquely intimate performance, with three solo arrangements, three tour premiers, and enough E Street Band power to shut out the lights.

The River is back.

1. ICEMAN

Where is Iceman from? Tracks? Don't think I have ever heard it.

 

[Cruyff14]

Tracks.

Made its live debut in 2014 from Pamela, who did the Aussie shows. Charlotte, I believe. Haunting track.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Last week I saw Johnny Diesel being interviewed on ABC News 24 Breakfast show about his new album where he sings classic American rock/pop songs that influenced him. He talked about recording Born to Run - said there is a lot in the song and it's a hard song to do and bit about Bruce's influence on him.

I just saw him perform BTR on the NRL footy show. It wasn't too bad, very energetic but with just the drums, bass and Diesel on rythm guitar it lacked the punch of a sax and influence of keyboards and piano. I'm sure it will be available to view on the NRL footy shows website on 9jumpin.com tomorrow.

 

[Cruyff14]

Could have thought of worse ways to open a show.
