1
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:39,498
Red Bank,
2
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,252
that's the site of the
old Carlton Theater,
3
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:44,962
now the Count Basie...
4
00:00:46,838 --> 00:00:50,133
where back in the '70s, I'd play with the
early E Street Band.
5
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:59,059
I used to walk these streets
on Saturdays in the '60s
6
00:00:59,184 --> 00:01:01,478
when they were filled with teenagers.
7
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,107
And my first band, The Castiles, and I
8
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:07,568
would spend the mornings in Freehold
9
00:01:07,693 --> 00:01:09,278
getting our hair just right.
10
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:14,199
How we used to dream
of playing in front of screaming crowds.
11
00:01:15,701 --> 00:01:17,786
Since I was 16,
12
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:21,582
playing live has been a deep
and lasting part of who I am
13
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:27,629
and how I justify
my existence here on Earth.
14
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:31,383
A lot of it comes together
when I count off the band.
15
00:01:33,885 --> 00:01:36,013
Recently, when the world shut down,
16
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,641
no live music, no audiences.
17
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:43,770
So I made a promise to myself,
to my fans, and to the band
18
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:45,814
that if we got through this,
19
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,774
I'd throw the biggest party I could.

This would be our
first tour in six years.
41
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:54,359
Now that's a lot longer break
than I planned.
42
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:58,280
So we got together on a quiet,
43
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,532
cold January morning in Red Bank
44
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:02,159
to begin our rehearsals.
45
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:06,538
There are two things I try
to accomplish in rehearsal.
46
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:10,584
One, you've got to shake
the cobwebs off the band,
47
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,628
off of all those years of inactivity.
48
00:04:14,296 --> 00:04:16,673
And two, you've got to find
49
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:18,049
your set list.
50
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:21,720
Now that set list is going
51
00:04:21,845 --> 00:04:23,930
to communicate the story
52
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:27,642
you are trying to tell
your audience this time around.
53
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,481
And the 25 songs I chose to focus on
54
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:36,026
would complete the narrative
for what I wanted to say,
55
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:38,528
and it would let
the audience know who I am
56
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:41,072
at this point in my work life.
57
00:04:42,157 --> 00:04:43,992
Notes?
58
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:45,486
Notes, notes.
59
00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:48,038
Getting ready to write it down.
60
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:49,539
No Surrender.
61
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:51,666
Ghosts.
62
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:53,293
Letter To You.
63
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:55,170
Promised Land.
64
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:57,589
Last Man Standing.
65
00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:00,634
Backstreets.
66
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:04,179
She's The One.
67
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:05,430
Badlands.
68
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:07,015
Glory Days.
69
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,935
Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.
70
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,813
I'll See You In My Dreams.
71
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:15,565
And that's the end of that set.
72
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,445
This is 28 songs and
I think on the last tour...
73
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:21,947
That's easily three.
74
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:24,366
Last tour, what... I think
that's about how many we did.
75
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:26,117
- That's three hours.
- Yeah.
76
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:27,762
After six years,
I thought it might,
77
00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:29,412
uh, scale it back a little bit.
78
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:31,748
Well done, man!
79
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:34,000
- We can't do that!
- Yeah, amen to that.
80
00:05:34,125 --> 00:05:36,294
Can't disappoint the fans,
goddammit!
81
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:43,093
When we rehearsed in Red Bank
at this small Black Box theater,
82
00:05:43,218 --> 00:05:46,304
of course, it was wonderful
on a reunion basis.
83
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,557
We hadn't been in
the same room, all of us,
84
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,184
since the recording of Letter to You.
85
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:53,069
I think everybody's mindset was,
86
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:54,980
you know, we're gonna go on tour.
87
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:57,941
But what was then four years
since the last tour
88
00:05:58,066 --> 00:05:59,985
wound up being six years.
89
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:03,280
I hadn't seen everybody
together for a very long time.
90
00:06:03,405 --> 00:06:06,116
And I'm always taken back by the deep,
91
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:08,994
profound sense of
camaraderie that you feel
92
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:10,471
when you see everybody all together.
93
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:11,955
You know, it's 50 years
94
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,666
that this group has been together.
95
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:16,585
And of course we're all in that zone.
96
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:19,087
We don't know how long things can go on
97
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:20,922
and what can happen to anybody.
98
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:23,842
We're lucky that we have the core band.
99
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,559
The only thing we have to fear
100
00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:28,972
is destroying the legacy
we've made so far.
101
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:30,557
Uh, so, Doug, you get those chords?
102
00:06:30,682 --> 00:06:32,034

107
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:53,288
A little bit concerned
when we started rehearsals.
108
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:56,666
Um, you know, it was all
109
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:59,294
a little bit casual, you know?
110
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:02,088
The initial rehearsals
is just the core band
111
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:04,090
getting our sea legs with the songs.
112
00:07:04,466 --> 00:07:06,176
So you got, like, 40-somethin' songs.
113
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:09,012
Three new albums we've never played live.
114
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:12,265
Max is saying that we changed
the arrangement for the live?
115
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,701
- Yes.
- Oh.
116
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:16,227
Yeah, the chart is wrong.
117
00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:19,606
- The chart is wrong.
- No wonder I don't know it!
118
00:07:19,731 --> 00:07:22,776
Six years, seven years
is a really long time
119
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:25,278
to not really play together.
120
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:35,765
It became fairly apparent
121
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:39,042
that we were playing
everything extremely slow.
122
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:43,213
♪ ...graces and her secret places ♪
123
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:48,718

People would expect musicians in their 70s

00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:02,691
to play that loping thing,
which would be unfortunate.

I couldn't play the damn song.
132
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:14,285
I can't play... I can't play that fast.
133

00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:19,874

and the E Street Band in 1976.

You've gotta transmit that excitement.
143
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,329

00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:15,906
We only rehearsed,
I think, six days.
149
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,849
We have new horn players,
we have new singers,
150
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:20,810
and it's a big band
and a lot of moving parts
151
00:09:20,935 --> 00:09:22,854
and I am completely anal
152
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:26,733
and I care about every note
that everyone does, you know?
153
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:28,568
That's just my thing.
154
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:30,320
Yeah, good. Yeah, I know.
155
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:33,281
Remember in E Street Shuffle,
we did a thing where
156
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:36,868
Max and, uh, it used to
be Everett, of course
157
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:39,138
- did the back and forth...
- Oh yeah, on E Street Shuffle.
158
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,164
- So we wanna do that tomorrow.
- Trading eights.
159
00:09:41,289 --> 00:09:42,892
- Yeah, trading the eights.
- I told Anthony...
160
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:45,710
We had a bigger band, some of the people
I didn't know.
161
00:09:58,264 --> 00:09:59,265
Hold right there.
162
00:10:02,018 --> 00:10:03,621
- We're varying the last lick
- Yeah.
163
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:06,314
Let's go on. Uh, Max, do the...
tail end there?
164
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:07,440
One, two, three.
165
00:10:14,197 --> 00:10:16,866
First rehearsal, I was nervous,
you're excited.
166
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:18,451
There's a whirlwind of emotions.
167
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:20,954
I made it a point to go over
and introduce myself.
168
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:24,082
Anthony are a fantastically
talented percussionist.
169
00:10:24,207 --> 00:10:26,167
It was the first time he's played with us.
170
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:30,463
We started talking about
musicians that we know,
171
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,841
and we spoke for about 30, 40 minutes.
172
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,717
That was all before we played a note.
173
00:10:37,929 --> 00:10:39,305
So by the time we started playing,
174
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:41,141
it felt very natural.
175
00:10:43,101 --> 00:10:45,770
So I said to Anthony...
176
00:10:45,895 --> 00:10:48,273
Well, one thing you'll never hear
anyone say to Bruce,
177
00:10:48,398 --> 00:10:50,191
"Gee, that's not the way we rehearsed it."
178
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,442
It doesn't matter.
179
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:54,112
It's what's happening now that matters.
180
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:55,738
This takes experience.
181
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:08,894
We heard about this guy Bruce,
182
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:11,629
and we went down to see who this guy was.
183
00:11:13,381 --> 00:11:14,465
I had to be with Bruce.
184
00:11:15,967 --> 00:11:17,802
Before I met Bruce,
185
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,555
I was very successful in the club circuit.
186
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,308
I realized that you had to,
187
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,894
one, start doing original material
188
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:29,480
and two, had to have a strong leader.
189
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,695
Bruce came along, you know,
he didn't like me at first
190
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:38,281
and that was okay, I stayed busy.
191
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:43,453
Eventually, he came around
and said, "Okay, I need you."
192
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:46,998
We finally started playing.
193
00:11:47,123 --> 00:11:50,710
And it's been since January of '71.
194
00:11:50,835 --> 00:11:52,170
Long, long time.

00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:01,572
I grew up in a Baptist church.
198
00:12:01,596 --> 00:12:05,099
My mom and my dad were very,
very religious people,
199
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:08,811
and they were really
stunned with my decision
200
00:12:08,937 --> 00:12:10,480
to give up my job as a counselor
201
00:12:10,605 --> 00:12:11,648
in a reform school
202
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,901
to go to follow this man,
and play rock and roll.
203
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:21,991
When Max and I joined,
the band came together
204
00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:24,202
in a very different way.
205
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:26,871
Prior to us,
206
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:28,957
it was more eclectic, I think.
207
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:33,086
Very jazz oriented with
Dave Sancious and Vini Lopez.
208
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:39,259
Blues, R&B, rock hard, pop,
that was our wheelhouse.

And he took me aside later and was like,

00:12:54,524 --> 00:12:56,524
"When I say 'bring it down, '
hit that snare drum,
217
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:58,152

I'd been looking
for a situation like that.
225
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:19,966
I was so disgusted personally with what,
226
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:22,802
you know, rock had become
in the early '70s.
227
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:26,723
Where's all that great
show business stuff?
228
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:30,143
So Bruce brought that back.
229
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,020
♪ Oh! ♪
230
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:37,442
Which is why he had me join the band.
231
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:39,777
He wanted to put the guitar down
and front the band.
232
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:45,283
Which was a huge step.
233
00:13:45,408 --> 00:13:48,369
I can't even begin to explain
how big a step that is
234
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:51,789
for a guy I grew up with
235
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:54,208
that was the most introverted guy
236
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,454
you'd ever met in your life.
237
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:00,923
For him to go from that to, like,
238
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,759
the world's greatest entertainer...
239
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,307
This is not by accident.
240
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:13,978
Bruce loves to be surrounded
by a family of musicians
241
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:17,440
and other talents who he can depend on.
242
00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:22,737
And occasionally, we have
to make a substitution,
243
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:25,365
a tragic pair of deaths.
244
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:29,577
Well, the loss
of Danny and Clarence
245
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,580
were terrible blows to the band.
246
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,585
First off, they were both relatively young
and playing great
247
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:40,588
and, well, they both died
of natural causes.
248
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,799
Danny contracted melanoma,
249
00:14:42,924 --> 00:14:45,385
and Clarence had a stroke.
250
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:48,346
But for any band that had been together
251
00:14:48,471 --> 00:14:51,140
with the exact same lineup for 40 years,
252
00:14:52,183 --> 00:14:56,104
there's no getting over that shock
or replacing that history.
253
00:14:57,146 --> 00:15:00,483
Now, Clarence and I were
very, very close for 40 years.
254
00:15:00,608 --> 00:15:03,820
We were different parts
of the same spiritual body.
255
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:06,364
And the loss of that relationship
256
00:15:06,489 --> 00:15:09,033
is simply forever irreplaceable.
257
00:15:10,201 --> 00:15:13,538
Now we've been blessed
with Charlie Giordano on organ,
258
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:16,499
who channels Danny's style
and mixes it with his own
259
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:20,086
and of course Jake Clemons,
who took the toughest position
260
00:15:20,211 --> 00:15:22,213
to replace in rock and roll,
261
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:24,674
and miraculously makes it his
262
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,635
while showing respect
and love for his uncle,
263
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,804
both in his playing and the great presence
264
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:31,431
of his spirit on stage.
265
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:35,143
You never get over the guys
you played with for that long.
266
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:38,771
They're always
an integral part of your life
267
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,565
for the rest of your life.
268
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:44,485
God bless 'em.
269
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,803
Let's try the beginning
of Dancing in the Dark.
270
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:54,036
Next one.
271
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:58,249
These people have such a,
such a strong identity
272
00:15:58,374 --> 00:15:59,625
with the saxophone.
273
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:03,463
Which the presence of horns changes.
274
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:08,426
You know, you now become
a rock and soul band, you know,
275
00:16:08,551 --> 00:16:10,887
rather than just a rock band
with a saxophone.
276
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:12,573
The rehearsals in Red Bank were
277
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,307
a refresher course, if you will,
278
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:16,517
between myself and Curt Ramm,
279
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,728
do most of the arranging
for the horn section
280
00:16:18,853 --> 00:16:20,980
and try to prepare ourselves
as much as possible
281
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:22,690

we might have things worked out,
293
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:47,590
and he could change something
at the drop of a hat.
294
00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:52,762
Bruce, he likes the band
to just be a little off balance.
295
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:54,931
It's part of the finding
296
00:16:55,056 --> 00:16:57,767
how we're gonna play these songs now.
297
00:16:57,892 --> 00:17:00,144
It's-it's really a process of alchemy.
298
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:02,813
It's oftentimes not adding more things,
299
00:17:02,939 --> 00:17:05,733
it's distilling out the things
that don't need to be there.
300
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:09,987
It's not like a horn choir revue.
301
00:17:10,112 --> 00:17:12,657
It seems like we're the rock band,
we are at the core,
302
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:14,742
and they're adding
beautiful touches throughout.
303
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,035

- Yep. We've been out there.
- That's good news.
306
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:24,561
The E Street Band
is very structured,
307
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:28,422
but inside that structure,
you have to be really flexible

because he's gonna throw things at you.
309
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:32,718
Their approach is not
quite the same.
310
00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:34,595
Bruce takes the original,
311
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,681
and they just start moving it around.
312
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:42,228
He's the kind of artist
that doesn't set perimeters.

You don't know exactly what's coming.
314
00:17:45,189 --> 00:17:48,150
You just go along with
what might be in his mind,

00:17:48,276 --> 00:17:50,444

Each tour rehearsal
starts out in a small theater.
354
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:30,336
We settle on the songs, we practice 'em,
355
00:19:30,461 --> 00:19:32,338
we get the band in the groove,
356
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:34,590
but then we move to a local arena
357
00:19:34,715 --> 00:19:38,094
to address the staging and
the pace of the performance,
358
00:19:38,219 --> 00:19:40,179
what will the rhythm of the show be?
359
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:42,598
The big room also lets you know
360
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:46,352
that this will all very soon be real.

it's more about,
365
00:19:57,530 --> 00:20:00,032
okay, when this tune happens,
the horns are gonna go
366
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:01,450
to that spot of the stage.
367
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:03,202
It's how we're moving through the space
368
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:04,954
of the stage by step.
369
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:06,664

Kind of a run-through
just so that the first time
373
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,130
we all play together in an arena,
374
00:20:14,338 --> 00:20:15,840
it's not in front of those people.
375
00:20:16,507 --> 00:20:17,883
The energy really shifts
376
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:20,594
because now you have to be on point.
377
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:23,305
"That's the time when you go, " Okay,
378
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:25,725
"I better get my act together."
379
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:31,105
Rehearsals, frankly,
were a little on the short side.
380
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:35,651
Two hours and so forth.
381
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:38,779
"And I realized, " Eh... he's,
382
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,741
"he's actually not that
into rehearsing," you know?
383
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:44,660
We can do that again.
384
00:20:44,785 --> 00:20:46,287
Alright, I'm gonna go home, Jon.
385
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:49,957
You're going? That's all
you're gonna do? Um...
386
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,710
There's no sense tiring
everybody out. We got it.
387
00:20:54,211 --> 00:20:55,921
Now, the band needed rehearsal,
388
00:20:56,046 --> 00:21:01,469
so Stevie really started
to take an active hand
389
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:04,597
and the band started
doing something they...
390
00:21:04,722 --> 00:21:06,766
I don't know that they've ever done,
391
00:21:06,891 --> 00:21:09,477
which is rehearse without Bruce.
392
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:16,609
In the '70s, Bruce, the band,
and myself were obsessive.
393
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:29,371
Soundcheck is when you're just checking
the PA system,
394
00:21:29,497 --> 00:21:31,832
maybe you're using
a half an hour to rehearse,
395
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:33,209
no big deal.
396
00:21:33,334 --> 00:21:36,003
He would have the band play continuously
397
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,296
as if it was a loop.
398
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:42,051
And he and the late Bruce Jackson,
they'd walk every row.
399
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:46,305
Totally obsessive and you know,
400
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:51,811
I, I understand that,
uh, you know, he cares, and that's good,
401
00:21:51,936 --> 00:21:53,103
but...
402
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:59,109
playing for four hours,
the same eight bars,
403
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:00,444
it's insane.
404
00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:04,740
Now, today he tells
the band to keep playing
405
00:22:04,865 --> 00:22:06,145
the way they did in the old days
406
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,035
and he goes out to the soundboard
407
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,163
and he listens for all
of two and a half minutes.
408
00:22:11,288 --> 00:22:14,583
And he said to everybody,
"That's fantastic.
409
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:16,585
Don't change a thing."
410
00:22:24,134 --> 00:22:27,012
Bruce has tremendous confidence.
411
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:31,475
He knows that these guys, they care.
412
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:38,274
Stop, stop.
No, no, no. Right there...
413
00:22:38,399 --> 00:22:41,777
I'm like, man, what I don't want to happen
414
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:44,655
is the critics or the audience
to look at us and say,
415
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:46,490
"Well, yeah, it's, it's nice, you know,
416
00:22:46,615 --> 00:22:48,552
but these old men are just
going through the motions."
417
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:51,871
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's the riff, right?
418
00:22:52,329 --> 00:22:54,623
That's the...
419
00:22:58,252 --> 00:23:00,212
After seven years away, you know,
420
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:02,006
who knows what they're gonna get, right?
421
00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:04,442
Right there, right there,
right there, right there, uh.
422
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:08,512
But I wanted to come out
and blow their fucking minds.
423
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:11,515
"I said to him, " Listen, man,
le-let me, let me go in
424
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,360
and just, you know,
tighten up some things."
425
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:14,977
So he's like, "Okay, yeah,
426
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:17,479
I'll make you officially the,
the music director."
427
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:20,190
You know, which is,
you know, nice, you know.
428
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:22,526
Whatever, you know,
429
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:25,195
40 years late, but fine.
430
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:28,782
I think Bruce said to me,
431
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:30,576
"Well, we don't want to get too good.
432
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:32,661
It'll work its way out."
433
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:34,371
We could rehearse tomorrow.
434
00:23:35,164 --> 00:23:37,249
We don't have to. I don't think so.
435
00:23:38,459 --> 00:23:40,544
He knows exactly what he needs to do
436
00:23:40,669 --> 00:23:43,339
and the time in which he had to do it
437
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:45,132
before we opened in Tampa.
438
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:47,635
Because there's
a certain percentage
439
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,470
that we're gonna fuck up on anyway.
440
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:52,640
So...
441
00:23:52,723 --> 00:23:54,284
That's what the people
are paying for.
442
00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:55,744
That's what they're paying for.
443
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:57,728
They wanna see it live!
444
00:23:57,853 --> 00:23:59,313
That means a few mistakes.
445
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:05,569
Later on, I realized what was happening.
446
00:24:05,694 --> 00:24:08,614
He got what he needed to
out of rehearsals,
447
00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:12,076
the structure of the set,
warming up his voice
448
00:24:12,201 --> 00:24:14,203
getting it into shape.
449
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:17,081
And as to pulling
the arrangements together,
450
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:20,042
"I think he's " Well, I got
the greatest band in the world,
451
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,919
they'll figure it out."
452
00:24:25,756 --> 00:24:27,516
It was a little dreamlike.
453
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:31,762
You know, is-is this really happening?
454
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:36,976
And I looked around, and it was.
455
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:39,353
This was something that
we've all been praying for,
456
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,646
for it to happen.
457
00:24:43,107 --> 00:24:44,858
What you've been hoping for
and wishing for
458
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,069
is being manifested before your eyes.
459
00:24:47,611 --> 00:24:49,029
You walk out.
460
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,198
It's quite a beautiful thing
461
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:55,411
to see these faces with
so much joyful expectation.
462
00:24:57,121 --> 00:24:59,665
When we stepped up
on that stage in Tampa,
463
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:02,209
you start to witness how intense,
464
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,920
how very personal this show is
465
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:06,588
for the audience, for us.
466
00:25:07,089 --> 00:25:09,008
You know, these are,
these are lasting memories.
467
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,264
The man who was
coming up the stairs in Tampa,
468
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,517
he knows exactly who he is.
469
00:25:20,269 --> 00:25:22,438
He knows exactly what he's done.
470
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:26,442

All night long!
504
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:24,203
The audience response
was as good or better
505
00:28:24,328 --> 00:28:25,871
as we've ever had.
506
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:31,126
I couldn't believe the intensity level.

I catch somebody's eye,
and I catch a tear.

00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:54,524
I call it a very spiritual show.
516
00:28:54,942 --> 00:28:56,568
This is the church.

The faces in the audience,
the entire breadth of people out there.
518
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:04,076

Something changes in a song
550
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:23,799
when you play it
in front of a live audience.
551
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:27,969
You can't understand
your song's possibilities
552
00:31:28,095 --> 00:31:30,389
or the stakes that it can play for
553
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:33,975
until you count it off
in front of your audience.
554
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:36,228
Now of course,our songs from Letter to You,
555
00:31:36,353 --> 00:31:37,646
they were untested.
556
00:31:37,771 --> 00:31:40,148
I know one thing, they were essential
557
00:31:40,273 --> 00:31:43,860
to the story I wanted
to tell this time around.
558
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:46,738
He came in with this
unbelievable song list,
559
00:31:46,863 --> 00:31:49,699
which I don't think we changed it from
the first moment it came in.
560
00:31:51,827 --> 00:31:53,387
What did we just do? Surrender.
561
00:31:53,829 --> 00:31:55,205
- Ghost.
- Right.
562
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:57,249
Prove it. The Letter.
563
00:31:57,374 --> 00:32:00,919
He just had it exactly right
right from the very beginning.
564
00:32:01,044 --> 00:32:02,504
- Alright.
- Let's start with that.
565
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:03,630
Pick two songs.
566
00:32:03,713 --> 00:32:05,132
It started to emerge that
567
00:32:05,215 --> 00:32:07,175
this is all sort of connected.
568
00:32:07,717 --> 00:32:10,345
It's not just 20 or 30 songs
thrown together,
569
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:11,763
it's a building thing.
570
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:14,975
And it's just gotten
more defined, more refined,
571
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,393
more direct.
572
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:20,397
And I think mention has been made of his
experience on Broadway.
573
00:32:20,522 --> 00:32:23,358
Come down and copy
the set list right here.
574
00:32:23,483 --> 00:32:26,570
Where you play essentially
the same thing every night.
575
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:30,740
I think that informed what
he wanted to do this time.
576
00:32:30,866 --> 00:32:34,786
These songs are interlocked
by a certain defiance
577
00:32:34,911 --> 00:32:36,872
and a certain urgency.
578
00:32:41,877 --> 00:32:45,755
There are four songsfrom the Letter to You album
579
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:49,342
that provide a certain continuity.
580
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:53,847
And those songs have occupied the same
581
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:56,808
space in the set list at every show.

617
00:36:09,042 --> 00:36:11,127
What's the surprise?
618
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:20,512
The start of every show
we wait for him backstage.
619
00:36:25,725 --> 00:36:27,644
We get called out of our rooms,
620
00:36:27,769 --> 00:36:31,564
and, uh, we walk onto the backstage area
621
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:33,650
out of sight from the audience.
622
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:43,076
He comes in, we all grab hands.
623
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:47,163
It's not a prayer per se,
624
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:49,008
it's whatever comes
off the top of his head.
625
00:36:49,624 --> 00:36:50,935
Sometimes he'll have a joke,
626
00:36:50,959 --> 00:36:52,711
sometimes it'll be a little solemn,
627
00:36:52,836 --> 00:36:55,839
but for that moment, we're bonding.
628
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:00,677
One time he said,
"This is the place I warmed up
629
00:37:00,802 --> 00:37:03,972
"for the band Chicago
and got booed off the stage.
630
00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:05,724
"It will not happen tonight.
631
00:37:05,849 --> 00:37:07,225
Somebody say amen."
632
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,519
Amen.
633
00:37:10,395 --> 00:37:11,771
Woo!
634
00:37:28,872 --> 00:37:31,583
Oh, he was in, like,
local bands in Asbury Park
635
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:33,501
playing clubs playing Top 40.
636
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:36,087
I saw him play at a place
called the Upstage Club.
637
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:39,191
It was a coffee house that was open
638
00:37:39,215 --> 00:37:40,535

639
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:42,862

it was not touring,
642
00:37:58,651 --> 00:37:59,652
it was gigging.
643
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:01,988

Pennsylvania today

688

I was diagnosed with
early stage multiple myeloma.

Every once in a while,
I come to a show or two,

down by the Jersey shore.

I would catch Bruce in the gym
the morning after our show day.
755
00:44:04,058 --> 00:44:05,059
And I was like, "Okay",
756
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:06,269
this is pretty impressive."
757
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:07,854
You know, this guy gives out
758
00:44:07,979 --> 00:44:09,272
three hours of concert,
759
00:44:09,397 --> 00:44:11,691
next morning he's in the gym.
760
00:44:11,816 --> 00:44:13,176
And I walk in and he goes, "Well",
761
00:44:13,276 --> 00:44:15,027
that's-that's how I like to see my guys,
762
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:16,445
"in the gym ready to go."
763
00:44:17,238 --> 00:44:18,558
And then he'll look at me and go,
764
00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:21,386
"You haven't seen anything yet.
Wait till we get to Barcelona."
765
00:44:22,702 --> 00:44:24,453
I was like, "Okay."
766
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:25,788
Said that the first time.
767
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:28,791
And then he repeated that for a month.
768
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:31,752

"Barcelona, Anthony."

00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:40,988
I had never seen
an audience like that ever.
782
00:45:41,113 --> 00:45:42,406
There's more singing along,
783
00:45:43,491 --> 00:45:45,534
the chants and those things.

Every single soul is engaged,
alive from front to back.
785
00:45:52,416 --> 00:45:54,377
Europeans,
they let out their emotions
786
00:45:54,502 --> 00:45:56,545
and their, their excitement
out on their sleeves
787
00:45:56,671 --> 00:45:58,881
and-and they let you know instantly.

It's been seven years
813
00:49:33,345 --> 00:49:37,016
since you saw a real
E Street, uh, concert in Europe.
814
00:49:40,352 --> 00:49:44,398
Bruce's fan community, I think,
is one of the strongest in the world.
815
00:49:45,483 --> 00:49:48,360
There's this sense of unity
that unites us all.
816
00:49:51,489 --> 00:49:55,659
His community is like,
I think it's on another level.
817
00:49:55,951 --> 00:49:58,412
Some of my best friends,
I've met in the pit
818
00:49:58,537 --> 00:50:00,247
at a Springsteen concert.
819
00:50:04,418 --> 00:50:05,812
This year in Barcelona,
820
00:50:05,836 --> 00:50:08,964
to see the band again,
all the friends, the crowd,
821
00:50:09,048 --> 00:50:10,758
and we are singing along.
822
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,805
I know people all over Germany,
from Switzerland,
823
00:50:16,931 --> 00:50:19,183
from Austria, from Sweden, from England,
824
00:50:19,308 --> 00:50:20,809
it's a big community.
825
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,750
When we're together,
we're the best of friends,
826
00:50:26,774 --> 00:50:29,693
we connect, we know each other,
we connect with each other.
827
00:50:30,611 --> 00:50:32,905
It's like we have been friends
for a lifetime.
828
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:34,698
We have met for many tours.
829
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:36,992
We have grown older together
830
00:50:37,493 --> 00:50:39,411
and we've all connected because of Bruce.
831
00:50:40,704 --> 00:50:43,791
We're talking about friendship,
we're talking about love.
832
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:48,420
For three hours, all dancing,
not thinking about anything.
833
00:50:48,546 --> 00:50:50,798
We try to, to live the moment.
834
00:50:50,923 --> 00:50:52,841
I just want it to last forever.
835
00:50:54,969 --> 00:50:57,763
There's part of the show when he says,
"Do you wanna go home?"
836
00:50:57,888 --> 00:50:58,931
Everybody, "No!"
837
00:51:00,140 --> 00:51:01,308
Hey, Steve.
838
00:51:01,433 --> 00:51:02,601
Yeah, baby?
839
00:51:03,018 --> 00:51:05,271
I think it's time to go home now.
840
00:51:05,396 --> 00:51:07,147
Are you saying... What?
841
00:51:07,273 --> 00:51:10,192
I said, I think it's time to go home.
842
00:51:10,317 --> 00:51:13,654
The first time I saw Bruce
at a club until today,
843
00:51:13,779 --> 00:51:15,739
there are certain fundamentals of the show
844
00:51:15,864 --> 00:51:17,157
that have never changed.
845
00:51:17,283 --> 00:51:20,244
And one of them is no matter how serious
846
00:51:20,369 --> 00:51:21,579
some of the songs are
847
00:51:21,704 --> 00:51:23,831
and how serious the tone of the show is...
848
00:51:23,956 --> 00:51:25,291
Do you wanna go home?
849
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:27,793
He always finds
a space for humor.
850
00:51:27,918 --> 00:51:29,086
It's always there.
851
00:51:29,295 --> 00:51:32,256
That's part of his vision
of what he's doing.
852
00:51:34,174 --> 00:51:36,093
Max don't wanna fuckin' go home.
853
00:51:37,011 --> 00:51:38,554
And as we know...
854
00:51:39,221 --> 00:51:41,724
If Max Weinberg don't go home,
855
00:51:42,266 --> 00:51:46,020
- nobody goes fuckin' home.
- Nobody wants to go home.
856
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:47,896
One, two, three!
857
00:51:50,024 --> 00:51:53,027
I can't even wrap my head around
how are they able to move
858
00:51:53,152 --> 00:51:55,404
all this huge amount of gear that we have
859
00:51:55,529 --> 00:51:56,989
from point A to point B.
860
00:51:57,573 --> 00:52:00,302
I always laugh because, you know,
if you look backstage there's,
861
00:52:00,326 --> 00:52:03,579
you know, there's these
road cases full of 40 guitars.
862
00:52:03,704 --> 00:52:08,167
Every show we did
in the early days, one guitar.
863
00:52:08,792 --> 00:52:11,045
When you see all these guitars,
864
00:52:11,170 --> 00:52:12,880
it's a lot of work maintaining them.
865
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:16,842
But at the same time, it's a blessing that
we have 'em.
866
00:52:16,967 --> 00:52:19,595
I don't have the time to,
"Oh, hold on a second, Bruce,
867
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,055
I'll be right with you."
868
00:52:23,766 --> 00:52:25,559
If he turns around and gives me that look,
869
00:52:26,101 --> 00:52:28,395
I have gig-mares about it, truthfully,
870
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,022
to tell you the truth, man.
871
00:52:39,948 --> 00:52:42,493
In the early days when we traveled,
872
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:46,413
I think we started in a Club Wagon.
873
00:52:48,082 --> 00:52:49,416
You couldn't lay down to sleep.
874
00:52:49,541 --> 00:52:51,061
You had to, you know, sleep like this.
875
00:52:52,753 --> 00:52:55,214
By the time I joined,
things were a little better.
876
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:56,924
Not much.
877
00:52:57,049 --> 00:53:00,010
I think by then, we graduated to the bus.
878
00:53:02,262 --> 00:53:05,724
You know, we customized
it ourselves with army cots.
879
00:53:06,225 --> 00:53:09,311
It had to be chained
to the wall.
880
00:53:09,436 --> 00:53:11,855
And every time the bus
went around a corner,
881
00:53:11,980 --> 00:53:13,691
the bunk beds would...
882
00:53:13,816 --> 00:53:15,317
Would kinda lean over.
883
00:53:17,069 --> 00:53:20,656
Shortly thereafter,
we went to a motor home,
884
00:53:20,781 --> 00:53:22,700
and actually it was the GMC Motorhome,
885
00:53:22,825 --> 00:53:24,993
which was at the time very modern.
886
00:53:25,911 --> 00:53:27,271
Well, it was a huge step up.
887
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,873
Here, you could turn the tables down into
little bunks.
888
00:53:29,998 --> 00:53:32,292
There was a fold-down,
like on a submarine,
889
00:53:32,418 --> 00:53:33,877
Bruce had that.
890
00:53:34,002 --> 00:53:35,254
There was a sofa,
891
00:53:35,796 --> 00:53:38,173
you took the cushions off,
and Clarence could fit on that.
892
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:41,385
There was a, a table
that recessed into the floor,
893
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:44,096
and Garry and Roy slept on that.
894
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:47,433
Except it really wasn't
wide enough for two people.
895
00:53:47,558 --> 00:53:50,644
So Garry and I would sleep foot to head
896
00:53:51,061 --> 00:53:53,188
and we put a little mattress over it.
897
00:53:54,189 --> 00:53:57,276
And in the back was another table
that we could lay out,
898
00:53:57,401 --> 00:53:59,319
and Danny and I slept in it.
899
00:54:00,112 --> 00:54:02,030
Driving six, seven hours, you could sleep.
900
00:54:03,323 --> 00:54:05,993
One of my fondest memories is we woke up
901
00:54:06,118 --> 00:54:10,581
to the smell of Clarence
cooking breakfast.
902
00:54:11,206 --> 00:54:14,418
He made pancakes, bacon, eggs.
903
00:54:14,543 --> 00:54:16,295
Anything you want,
like a short order cook,
904
00:54:16,420 --> 00:54:17,463
like the father.
905
00:54:17,588 --> 00:54:20,132
And it was really,
it was really fantastic.
906
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:22,593
Give us a limerick,
a limerick, Clarence.
907
00:54:22,718 --> 00:54:23,802
Now, as I was saying...
908
00:54:27,139 --> 00:54:29,600
It was a very bonding
experience.
909
00:54:29,933 --> 00:54:34,146
And that bond, thousands of shows later,
910
00:54:35,022 --> 00:54:37,483
that's what gets played out on stage.
911
00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:40,194
If you get swept up in the spirit,
912
00:54:40,319 --> 00:54:43,280
you'll be able to figure out a way in.
913
00:54:44,907 --> 00:54:47,409
I grew up seeing my uncle there.
914
00:54:47,534 --> 00:54:49,411
It gave him so much happiness,
915
00:54:49,745 --> 00:54:51,347
which is why I've always
been really particular
916
00:54:51,371 --> 00:54:52,372
about playing his horn,
917
00:54:52,456 --> 00:54:53,499
playing his mouthpiece.
918
00:54:53,707 --> 00:54:55,435
Like, I need... I need to keep
as much of him
919
00:54:55,459 --> 00:54:56,668
with me as possible.
920
00:54:58,545 --> 00:55:00,339
Those solos, those sax solos,
921
00:55:00,464 --> 00:55:03,091
Badlands, Jungleland, Prove It All Night
922
00:55:03,217 --> 00:55:05,427
that puts Clarence right back there.
923
00:55:06,220 --> 00:55:08,847
It's almost like this transference.
924
00:55:11,683 --> 00:55:14,019
Bruce loves stability
925
00:55:15,229 --> 00:55:18,774
and so when he finds
the person that's a match
926
00:55:18,899 --> 00:55:20,359
for what he needs,
927
00:55:21,485 --> 00:55:24,071
he tends to keep that person.
928
00:55:24,655 --> 00:55:27,950
Having this musical
and communal experience,
929
00:55:28,075 --> 00:55:29,284
I never took it for granted.
930
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:32,454
I'm very grateful to be part of the band
931
00:55:32,579 --> 00:55:35,249
and all the fabulously talented people
932
00:55:35,374 --> 00:55:36,792
that are up on that stage.
933
00:55:38,210 --> 00:55:40,462
I listen to what everyone is doing
934
00:55:40,587 --> 00:55:43,382
and just try to add my little spice to it.
935
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:46,176
Not too much but just part of the whole.
936
00:55:48,095 --> 00:55:50,848
Clarence and Danny
have not been forgotten.
937
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,102
Nightshift.
938
00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:58,647
People hear that song
in the show in a lot of ways
939
00:55:58,772 --> 00:56:00,524
and the way I hear it is...
940
00:56:02,442 --> 00:56:04,111

00:57:08,216 --> 00:57:10,177
how the crowd was gonna be
receptive to it.
960
00:57:11,511 --> 00:57:15,682
The fact that the singers come forward
and they take the spotlight.
961
00:57:15,807 --> 00:57:17,167
We were in sound check.
962
00:57:17,225 --> 00:57:19,102

I think I want you"
963
00:57:19,227 --> 00:57:20,812
to do a little something here."
964
00:57:22,189 --> 00:57:26,193
He didn't specify as to exactly what that
something was gonna be.

♪ On the nightshift ♪
966
00:57:27,903 --> 00:57:29,797

he would say,

00:57:29,821 --> 00:57:31,323
"Uh, pull it back a little bit."

00:57:38,705 --> 00:57:39,998
"There you go, this is a seed.
971
00:57:40,123 --> 00:57:41,917

we're gonna do this together."
979
00:57:57,265 --> 00:57:58,892
And I'm sort of kind of watching him.
980
00:57:59,017 --> 00:58:00,560

One night, we stepping down

and Bruce kind of let
the song go a little longer
984
00:58:08,151 --> 00:58:10,070
and sit a minute.
985
00:58:11,738 --> 00:58:14,533

- I can try.
- "Try, I can try."

He might not know what that is,
but he's about to do something.

He cues with his shoulders a lot.
1039
01:01:12,794 --> 01:01:14,504
He'll cue with his hand.

01:02:06,514 --> 01:02:07,557
Shh!
1051
01:02:07,641 --> 01:02:09,517
The greatest skill Bruce has
1052
01:02:09,643 --> 01:02:12,729
is demanding the attention
of an audience...
1053
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:14,731
Shh.
1054
01:02:14,856 --> 01:02:16,691
And being able to direct it
1055
01:02:16,816 --> 01:02:17,943
however way he'd like.
1056
01:02:18,068 --> 01:02:19,069
Hit it, Max.
1057
01:02:20,862 --> 01:02:21,863
Shh.
1058
01:02:21,947 --> 01:02:23,187
He has an amazing
1059
01:02:23,281 --> 01:02:24,574
amount of control,
1060
01:02:24,866 --> 01:02:27,953
and he can quiet that crowd to
where you can hear a pin drop.
1061
01:02:28,078 --> 01:02:29,204
Shh.
1062
01:02:29,496 --> 01:02:31,581
He directed me to
stop playing completely,
1063
01:02:31,706 --> 01:02:32,749
just the piano.
1064
01:02:32,874 --> 01:02:34,125
Just Roy.
1065
01:02:35,043 --> 01:02:36,127
Shh.
1066
01:02:39,381 --> 01:02:41,758
- And then he said, "Nobody."
- Nobody.
1067
01:02:41,883 --> 01:02:43,093
And he wanted silence.
1068
01:02:43,677 --> 01:02:44,970
Love you, Bruce!
1069
01:02:45,095 --> 01:02:46,763
This is the genius of Bruce.
1070
01:02:47,138 --> 01:02:48,306
Nobody.
1071
01:02:48,431 --> 01:02:50,058
The complete silence on stage...
1072
01:02:50,183 --> 01:02:51,184
Woo!
1073
01:02:51,309 --> 01:02:52,469
Tends to make people
1074
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:53,645
very nervous.
1075
01:02:55,730 --> 01:02:58,817
I mean, you never see
anybody do this on stage.
1076
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:17,210
It takes a lot of thought and detailing
1077
01:03:17,335 --> 01:03:20,297
to make it all look tight
1078
01:03:20,422 --> 01:03:22,716
and to be spontaneous at the same time.
1079
01:03:27,512 --> 01:03:29,392
In the early '60s,
me, Bruce, and Garry
1080
01:03:29,514 --> 01:03:31,057
had gone to see Sam & Dave.
1081
01:03:31,182 --> 01:03:35,103
Seeing an R&B, you know,
a soul music show up close,
1082
01:03:35,228 --> 01:03:36,706
you know, it was like in,
in a little club,
1083
01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:41,901
uh, I-in those days was just
an incredible impression on you.
1084
01:03:47,741 --> 01:03:50,368
He has a way of being
able to pull those nuggets
1085
01:03:50,493 --> 01:03:54,247
from these different genres
of music that seem unrelated.
1086
01:04:00,837 --> 01:04:03,631
But then he's able to kind
of weave them into the mix
1087
01:04:03,757 --> 01:04:05,759
in a way that it's very relatable.
1088
01:04:06,259 --> 01:04:10,889
And tapping into all these various streams
of American music.
1089
01:04:11,890 --> 01:04:13,933
You got a little gospel in there,
1090
01:04:14,059 --> 01:04:17,395
you got a little rock and roll,
a little jazz.
1091
01:04:17,979 --> 01:04:20,607
We're improvising, like we
made a conscious effort.
1092
01:04:20,732 --> 01:04:22,460
We could have worked out
our little eight bars,
1093
01:04:22,484 --> 01:04:24,527
and we play the same
eight bars every night
1094
01:04:24,652 --> 01:04:25,695
and it's gonna be perfect.
1095
01:04:25,820 --> 01:04:27,364
But that's not what Bruce wants.
1096
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:30,158
Bruce wants, like, say what
you're feeling at that moment.
1097
01:04:35,705 --> 01:04:38,208
Kitty's Back
is a very different song,
1098
01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:40,001
and it's very loose...
1099
01:04:41,711 --> 01:04:45,423
let everybody have their moment
and do what they want.
1100
01:04:47,509 --> 01:04:49,320
He goes, "You know, guys,I want something"
1101
01:04:49,344 --> 01:04:51,424
"after you guys finish
your solo in the horn section,
1102
01:04:51,513 --> 01:04:54,265
I want you guys to come up
with some kind of a horn soul lead."
1103
01:05:00,063 --> 01:05:02,816
Which means you're playing
the same thing together.
1104
01:05:13,576 --> 01:05:16,955
It's almost like a small group
at a jazz nightclub vibe.
1105
01:05:22,919 --> 01:05:24,129
It's an exciting thing
1106
01:05:24,254 --> 01:05:26,047
because you don't know
what's gonna happen.
1107
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,980
I am a big fan of having
a very random set list,
1108
01:07:47,105 --> 01:07:49,732
and I know most of the other guys
would not agree with me.
1109
01:07:49,816 --> 01:07:52,151
On other tours,
we would always get a set list
1110
01:07:52,277 --> 01:07:55,572
maybe 30 minutes
before we would go on stage.
1111
01:07:55,697 --> 01:07:58,908
Well, the last tour,
he was a lot more spontaneous.
1112
01:07:59,033 --> 01:08:03,413
It was a lot of going out in the audience
and picking up signs.
1113
01:08:03,538 --> 01:08:05,248
Hey, can we stump the band?
1114
01:08:05,999 --> 01:08:07,458
If you knew it, you knew it
1115
01:08:07,584 --> 01:08:09,669
and if you didn't,
you just had to catch on.
1116
01:08:09,794 --> 01:08:14,841
♪ Ohh, your flat feet down on the ground ♪
1117
01:08:16,676 --> 01:08:18,052
♪ Yeah ♪
1118
01:08:19,012 --> 01:08:21,848
Hit it, boys. Come on, Charlie Giordano!
1119
01:08:21,973 --> 01:08:23,891
The audience had these signs.
1120
01:08:24,017 --> 01:08:27,145
Always exciting and nerve-wracking.
1121
01:08:27,979 --> 01:08:30,690
Bruce would go out and find
some of the most obscure songs
1122
01:08:30,815 --> 01:08:32,483
and song titles.
1123
01:08:32,609 --> 01:08:35,486
That was kind of the theme,
"Stump the E Street Band."
1124
01:08:36,779 --> 01:08:39,032
Alright, Professor...
1125
01:08:39,157 --> 01:08:41,743
Craning my neck to try
to see what was on the sign,
1126
01:08:41,826 --> 01:08:43,911
you know, and oh, my God.
1127
01:08:44,037 --> 01:08:45,663
We haven't played that in 10 years.
1128
01:08:45,788 --> 01:08:47,457
I don't think I've ever played that.
1129
01:08:47,582 --> 01:08:48,902
Is there chart somewhere on that?
1130
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:50,793
Quick, quick.
1131
01:08:50,918 --> 01:08:52,670
And he'd oftentimes come back to the stage
1132
01:08:52,795 --> 01:08:54,297
with a dozen of 'em stacked up,
1133
01:08:54,422 --> 01:08:56,215
and he'd be flinging through 'em on stage
1134
01:08:56,341 --> 01:08:57,842
and find the one he wanted.
1135
01:08:59,093 --> 01:09:00,511
Give it to the organ man.
1136
01:09:02,889 --> 01:09:04,891
We were doing 15 different
songs a night.
1137
01:09:05,016 --> 01:09:06,576
Nobody knows what the hell's happening.
1138
01:09:06,684 --> 01:09:08,269
Turn 'em up! Turn 'em up!
1139
01:09:08,394 --> 01:09:09,604
There's an energy to that.
1140
01:09:09,687 --> 01:09:10,730
Three, four!
1141
01:09:11,105 --> 01:09:14,859
But you can't really get deep,
deep, deep in any one song
1142
01:09:14,984 --> 01:09:16,944
because you were just never
playing it that often.
1143
01:09:23,910 --> 01:09:25,804
That's one of the things
I like about this tour is
1144
01:09:25,828 --> 01:09:27,872
you can hear your band mates evolving.
1145
01:09:32,752 --> 01:09:36,005
It's not a jam session,
it's not a "Stump the Band,"
1146
01:09:36,130 --> 01:09:39,509
it's an experience, it's a show.
1147
01:09:40,051 --> 01:09:44,055
Bruce has put this
set list together meticulously.
1148
01:09:46,891 --> 01:09:48,935
Start listening a little closer.
1149
01:09:49,977 --> 01:09:55,566
There's different emotions being brought
out of each song every time you hear it.
1150
01:09:55,692 --> 01:09:59,070
♪ Blow away the dreams
that tear you apart ♪
1151
01:09:59,404 --> 01:10:03,241

1175
01:11:45,676 --> 01:11:47,762
My first concert, I was 19.
1176
01:11:48,346 --> 01:11:50,515
I skipped school the
next day too.
1177
01:11:51,224 --> 01:11:54,977
Since then, I've seen him
in Spain, in Germany,
1178
01:11:55,102 --> 01:11:56,813
in the UK, in Italy.
1179
01:11:57,396 --> 01:12:00,107
Now I'm 37, and I grew up with Bruce.
1180
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:11,911
My first Springsteen show
was here in Oslo in 1993.
1181
01:12:12,245 --> 01:12:13,788
Oh, it was so magic.
1182
01:12:15,248 --> 01:12:16,999
You just get happy.
1183
01:12:17,124 --> 01:12:18,251
So happy.
1184
01:12:21,712 --> 01:12:23,798
My dad is a massive
Springsteen fan.
1185
01:12:23,923 --> 01:12:26,092
He's been listening to him all his life.
1186
01:12:26,217 --> 01:12:28,678
It's always really special
to go to concerts with him,
1187
01:12:28,803 --> 01:12:30,012
having, like, that history.
1188
01:12:30,137 --> 01:12:33,057
He's the reason that
I love Springsteen now.
1189
01:12:35,643 --> 01:12:37,371
When I first got into his music,
1190
01:12:37,395 --> 01:12:39,856
I could connect to these
scenes that he described
1191
01:12:39,981 --> 01:12:41,416
and to these feelings that he described,
1192
01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:42,692
to me after all these years,
1193
01:12:42,942 --> 01:12:46,821
it still means a lot to me
and that I still enjoy so much.
1194
01:12:47,864 --> 01:12:49,615
I always get emotional when I,
1195
01:12:49,699 --> 01:12:51,742
when I go to Bruce Springsteen concerts.
1196
01:12:51,868 --> 01:12:54,954
You know, it's just like
he takes his soul,
1197
01:12:55,079 --> 01:12:57,290
and he puts it into music.
1198
01:12:57,415 --> 01:12:59,709
So I think that everyone can relate to it.
1199
01:13:05,131 --> 01:13:06,841
We don't expect the man to tour forever.
1200
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:10,136
We hope he does, we hope
he tours for as long as he can.
1201
01:13:10,261 --> 01:13:12,263
But we're appreciating these moments.
1202
01:13:12,722 --> 01:13:17,518
We want to soak up every last moment
of this, just in case.
1203
01:13:26,569 --> 01:13:29,739
Just a little, where it says horn,
it's just a little riff.
1204
01:13:32,617 --> 01:13:35,077
♪ I'm the last man standing ♪
1205
01:13:36,329 --> 01:13:39,874
♪ Do, do, do, do, da, da ♪
1206
01:13:44,962 --> 01:13:46,297
Let's try just Curt.
1207
01:13:50,968 --> 01:13:53,012
That's good. Alright.
1208
01:13:53,137 --> 01:13:54,597
So I'm gonna tell a little story.
1209
01:14:01,896 --> 01:14:03,064
And I'll go into the song.
1210
01:14:05,441 --> 01:14:07,041
From the beginning of the tour,
1211
01:14:07,068 --> 01:14:10,571
he has told the story of Last Man Standing
1212
01:14:10,696 --> 01:14:13,616
and why that phrase came to him.
1213
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,161
And the story he tells is that he realized
1214
01:14:17,286 --> 01:14:19,997
when his friend George Theiss passed away,
1215
01:14:20,122 --> 01:14:22,959
that of all the members
of his first rock band,
1216
01:14:23,084 --> 01:14:25,294
he was the last man standing.
1217
01:14:28,255 --> 01:14:31,759
I think he reads into that notion
1218
01:14:31,884 --> 01:14:35,012
an increased sense of mortality.
1219
01:14:35,137 --> 01:14:36,347
He's next.
1220
01:14:36,973 --> 01:14:40,559
That's kind of like
you're standing on the tracks
1221
01:14:40,685 --> 01:14:43,020
with the white hot light
of an oncoming train
1222
01:14:43,145 --> 01:14:44,730
bearing down upon you.
1223
01:14:44,855 --> 01:14:47,650
It brings a certain clarity of thought,
1224
01:14:48,401 --> 01:14:51,112
you may not have previously experienced.
1225
01:14:51,237 --> 01:14:55,491
Because death's final
and lasting gift to the living
1226
01:14:56,075 --> 01:14:59,912
is an expanded vision of life itself.
1227
01:15:00,871 --> 01:15:02,331
George passed away
1228
01:15:03,374 --> 01:15:05,459
shortly after I wrote this song.
1229
01:15:06,293 --> 01:15:09,380
It's just about the passions
we follow as children,
1230
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,757
not knowing where they're going to lead us
1231
01:15:12,341 --> 01:15:15,761
and how at 15 it's all
tomorrows and hellos
1232
01:15:16,554 --> 01:15:19,890
and then later on there's
a lot more yesterdays and goodbyes.

One of the most emotional parts
1247
01:16:41,806 --> 01:16:43,766
of this show is the juxtaposition of
1248
01:16:43,891 --> 01:16:46,143
Last Man Standing and Backstreets.
1249
01:16:46,268 --> 01:16:50,856
Last Man Standing talked about friendshipand end of days.
1250
01:16:50,981 --> 01:16:53,484
Then he put it up against Backstreets,
1251
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:58,155
a song from 50 years ago,
about betrayal of some sort.
1252
01:16:58,739 --> 01:17:01,450
Backstreets readsa whole other way
1253
01:17:01,992 --> 01:17:04,745

The E Street Band loves you!
1422
01:29:57,559 --> 01:30:00,353
I stuck closely
to our original set list
1423
01:30:00,478 --> 01:30:01,771
on this tour
1424
01:30:02,314 --> 01:30:05,442
because it told the story
I wanted to communicate.
1425
01:30:07,444 --> 01:30:11,698
Life, death, and everything in between.
1426
01:30:13,575 --> 01:30:16,202
Playing music as you get older
is an interesting
1427
01:30:16,328 --> 01:30:18,163
and tricky business.
1428
01:30:18,288 --> 01:30:22,000
Now I plan on continuing
until the wheels come off
1429
01:30:22,918 --> 01:30:26,129
and for as long as
the band will follow me.
1430
01:30:26,588 --> 01:30:28,840
There's one thing I know,
1431
01:30:28,965 --> 01:30:33,470
after 50 years on the road,
it's too late to stop now.
1432
01:30:40,685 --> 01:30:44,731
Time moves quickly
when you are on the road.
1433
01:30:47,233 --> 01:30:49,361
And I've always believed the audience
1434
01:30:49,486 --> 01:30:53,990
does not pay necessarily
to hear their favorite song
1435
01:30:54,115 --> 01:30:56,701
or to see your aging face again.
1436
01:30:58,703 --> 01:31:01,623
But they pay for the
intensity of your presence,
1437
01:31:01,748 --> 01:31:06,169
how alive you are on any given evening.
1438
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,343
That's the beating heart of my job,
1439
01:31:13,468 --> 01:31:16,805
to be there and only there,
1440
01:31:16,930 --> 01:31:20,976
playing for all the stakes
rock and roll has to offer
1441
01:31:21,101 --> 01:31:24,104
for you, in your town, on this night.
1442
01:31:31,903 --> 01:31:35,031
And in doing so, I want to leave you with
1443
01:31:35,156 --> 01:31:36,449
life's possibilities,
1444
01:31:36,574 --> 01:31:39,744
with energy to take outside
the concert gates,
1445
01:31:39,869 --> 01:31:43,999
to bring into your life
with a smile on your face
1446
01:31:44,749 --> 01:31:47,168
and some feeling of love in your heart,
1447
01:31:47,293 --> 01:31:50,880
a quiet soul,
and hopefully a lifted spirit.
1448
01:31:53,842 --> 01:31:54,968
It's my job.
1449
01:31:59,180 --> 01:32:02,684
I'm left with one thought,
it's a quote from Jim Morrison,
1450
01:32:04,894 --> 01:32:08,356
"O great creator of being"
1451
01:32:08,481 --> 01:32:12,485
"grant us one more hour
to perform our art..."
1452
01:32:14,988 --> 01:32:17,532
"and to perfect our lives."
1453
01:32:43,725 --> 01:32:46,728
Jersey in the house!
1454
01:32:52,317 --> 01:32:53,860
On the trombone,
1455
01:32:53,985 --> 01:32:56,696
Ozzie Melendez, Barry Danielian,
1456
01:32:56,821 --> 01:32:59,157

sister Soozie Tyrell,
brother Charlie Giordano.
1460
01:33:10,126 --> 01:33:12,796
On the guitar, Nils Lofgren.
1461
01:33:12,921 --> 01:33:16,966
On the saxophone, Jake Clemons.
1462
01:33:17,092 --> 01:33:21,221
On the drums, the mighty,
mighty Max Weinberg.
1463
01:33:21,346 --> 01:33:24,641
On percussion, Anthony Almonte.
1464
01:33:25,391 --> 01:33:29,270
On piano, Professor Roy Bittan.
1465
01:33:29,395 --> 01:33:31,356

On base, Garry W. Tallent.
1467
01:33:35,318 --> 01:33:38,613
And last but not least,
1468
01:33:38,738 --> 01:33:40,573
on guitar,
1469
01:33:42,325 --> 01:33:49,290
Little...
1470
01:33:49,415 --> 01:33:51,417
Steven Van Zandt.
1471

Bring it up, bring it up.
1473

Bring it up, bring it up.
1474
01:34:17,193 --> 01:34:19,237
One, two, three, go!
1475
01:34:24,534 --> 01:34:25,618
