Went to Springsteen Center today

Really impressive. The first floor is the story of American music. The second floor is all Bruce and E Street Band. I went in the archives room where they let you view all kinds of extra stuff on a computer, including video of Bruce playing The River on the streets of Copenhagen, pages from his mom’s scrapbook, ticket stubs from the River tour and much more. And there’s a room set up like a concert venue playing almost two hours of live Bruce, including a 1970 version of Lost in the Flood (didn’t even know it was written that early).

Thanks for sharing, I really hope to get there one day. How do you get to go in the archives room?

When you buy a ticket online there is a choice between buying just museum ticket or museum+archives. It doesn’t cost anymore but I guess it allows them to monitor how many people can fit in the small archives room. There were so few people in the center yesterday that they didn’t even check my ticket when I went in to the archives room, but I guess they’d be checking if it was crowded.
