April 29, 2012: The past week has found that My Bruce Springsteen has taken the Wrecking Ball spring tour to the west coast and...by all accounts has reminded California about the E Street Sessions Band power and fun too, before headlining at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival tonight. Here is a link revisiting Bruce's last appearance at the N.O. Fest, that time with the Sessions Band. Or this one about how "Reverend Springsteen held church and ministered to a flock.

For a lot of people, Backstreets would be a deep cut on most nights but Bruce comes through with Thundercrack for the oh so worthy, thanks Boss.

April 7, 2012: Night 1 in The Big Apple as My Bruce Springsteen brings The Wrecking Ball to MSG for the first time since the fall of 2009...and it has been worth the wait. Starting with the Chairman crooning New York New York and finishing with the Boss hammering Tenth Avenue Freeze-out, I say again there is no place like MSG for Bruce and the Band. Yes, sucking down that full beer is seemingly the new shtick but WTH and why not, believe he deserves it and more. I was thrilled to see Bruce perform Lions Den, and Kitty's Back was un-be-leave-able with the extended E Street Sessions Band. All I can say is that it will be hard to top last nights show but if anyone can, it is this crew for sure. "We love you New York! You were incredible. See you on Monday." So and although reviews are not very plentiful at this moment, let's get to the links that I have found out there: Stan's Review Blogness On The Edge Of Town My Fox New York Bruce's Career Highlights at Madison Square Garden Lions Den Murder Incorporated Shackled And Drawn Rocky Ground Dancing In The Dark Tenth Avenue Freeze-out (teary eyed me)

There had also been speculation that I proposed more than a year ago (in these archives, somewhere) about how I was pretty sure that Bruce's '60's sensibilities (and now he is in his 60's har de har har harrrr) was leaving him to find President Obama to be a bit of a disappointment. So for you rock ribbed Republicans, take some pleasure out of reading these links, which suggests why the Boss seems unlikely to stump for Barack this time around: Spinner Forbes Dot Com Politico
