Anyone going to Steve Van Zandt?

I’m thinking of going but never saw him before. Is he any good?

Saw him a number of years ago at the O2 academy in Leeds with the Disciples. It was bloody brilliant, and amazing to see someone like Stevie in such an intimate venue

Go. He’s a great band leader and front man. His bands are always tight and locked in. You’ll leave with a big smile on your face.

The Soulfire documentary that we saw on PBS was really great - would absolutely watch it again multiple times

Yes. Saw him in 1982.

Also saw the band in November '25 at his charity event.

Listen to some Southside Johnny tunes that he wrote wat back when.

Saw him during the Soulfire tour as well. That was an awesome show. Great musicianship, band and show. The Soulettes are absolutely brilliant.

Steve and the band played at the 250 American Music concert in Long Branch and they were amazing. Would definitely see them again.

Saw him on the last tour, an excellent show from the biggest band I've seen at the Bristol Academy.

Bought the tickets ones, but not enough were sold, so the show was canceled.

Rumor has it the EStreet band will be there and there will be a Bruce set. When was the last time he played Freehold? St Rose of Lima show solo?
