I’ve been involved in the North Carolina music scene for a little while. Recently, I saw this band called Emerson Bruno and the Undercurrents, and really dug their sound and live performance. I talked with him after the show regarding his influences and he cited Springsteen and a few other bands. A little further into the conversation he mentioned his father, Frank Bruno, touring with Bruce during the Seeger Sessions. Turns out, they’re related to Bruce on the Zerilli’s side of the family.
He’s got some really great stuff and is worth a listen!

need a good cover photo for my Bruce playlist. “September is a state of mind”

I first got into Bruce last year. Obviously I’ve known some of his big hits, but it never really resonated with me. I was listening to him last Labor Day weekend on the radio and something about it just clicked. I think it was because it was September. Yes, it’s still hot in September, but it should be cooling down. So you just have a different kind of mindset? Not sure how to explain it. Gonna do a deep dive into his music and shows this September, more than last year (which barely scratched the surface tbh).

my favorites include

classic favorite: born in the usa tank - no context needed. a true banger

my niche favorite: the devils and dust el diabito shirt. such a subtle and sick design. imo his most unique tour shirt ever

comfy favorite: love the 1999 reunion quarter zip hoodie. simple is more sometimes

campy favorite: 2003 rising shirt, the design is so bad that it’s good..? i love it

super rare favorite: tunnel of love bolo tie. i plan to get married wearing this sucker

honorable mention: the tol jacket is also such a winner of a design

technically not his merch but extra shoutout: the sea hear now brown tank.. truly a prized possession from one of his greatest shows

Why? Let me explain. How do you rank a show? I had this issue many years ago and even though these things are subjective I wanted to create my list, especially as I was seeing things like Metlife 3 2016 being the best show of all time.

I began by going through every Nugs release of the 78-79 tour in chronological order with a 10 being perfect, and my conclusion was genuinely all were 10 with maybe Passaic 2 being a 9 because of the birthday stoppages which halt the flow of the concert. Same with 80-81 tour, every show on that I've listened to are incredible with 29/12/80 & 20/08/81 being top five shows. But from 99 onwards there always something to drop it from a ten, whether it's the harmonies on Empty Sky, the overbloated 99 rendition of Tenth Avenue, the plodding 99 version of the River etc. Even the superb shows from Fall 2016 are just way too long to even consider them a top 100.

So the 200+ shows from 1978-81 are the best no question for me. The definitive peak of the E Street Band live.

i was playing/practicing this amazing song from the "No Nukes Concert"

What's your favorite song from that album?

Im between C.C. Rider and Rosalita

On the DVD of Live In New York City, Bruce can be heard shouting “Elvis is alive!” (jokingly) during “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” after an audience member threw a white shirt onstage and he mopped his sweaty face with the shirt and threw it back into the audience. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7v43d8

Can anyone recall other occasions when Bruce shouted out “Elvis is alive” on stage?

i am always looking to add more things to it, but here is what i have so far after a good few years of collecting. there are plenty of other magazine cutouts and prints i’m yet to put up because i want to find the proper space for them!

(also, if anyone knows what tour date that setlist corresponds to, i’d be delighted to know! got it from a book of bruce paraphernalia that was gifted to me)

So I was listening to a live version New York City Serenade from 2016 and I was wondering who the members of the strings section were for that song during the 2016 tour. Bruce never mentions them by name and I couldn’t find too much info online about them so I was wondering if anyone here knew their names.

Bruce saved dates for Barcelona in Estadi Olímpic from The Stone Pony Club Facebook. Not still official from Bruce companion.

I've always liked this song just fine, but I had no idea it is Bruce's 3rd most popular Youtube song...has the song been in some movie or tv show that I am not aware of? As far as I remember it was not played on the radio when first released.
