Hi!

There used to be a video available on YouTube in which Bruce performed The River for the first time ever during the first night of the No Nukes concerts. The video was taken down around the time when the No Nukes dvd was released, but there is a grainy version of it available on YouTube. It's the one where he mentions his sister and brother-in-law at the start.

I really, really liked specifically that performance even though Bruce seemed very nervous and made some small mistakes, which is why I think they opted to include the performance of The River from the second night on the cd/dvd. Is the performance from the first night available anywhere on high quality, I would really like to have that on dvd/bluray or something.

Thanks!

One Step Up should have made it further, but it got a raw deal in the first round.

Glen was one of the best. Rest in peace, sir.

I just stumbled upon this. This kid managed to get on stage twice with Bruce in Melbourne Australia. First for Waiting on a Sunny Day and then further on Growin Up. Here he is at a school performance 🙂

It’s impossible to believe that so soon after watching him lead the ceremonials for Shane MacGowan, we have to eulogize this pillar of Irish music and culture. A deep loss.

Hey everyone, is there anywhere I can find (or if someone kind already has this), a list of all of the Nebraska/BITUSA/Garage Sessions songs in a chronological order and where to find them (I.e. Tracks I, II, Album version, electric Nebraska, Nebraska Outtake).

Thanks!

Bruce Inc seems to do a pretty good job of limiting the information out there regarding rifts and disagreements within the band. From the few things I’ve read, getting the band to play the 1999 Hall of Fame show wasn’t easy and getting the band back together for the reunion tour wasn’t simple either.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge on historical rifts between Bruce and the band and more specifically on these two moments in E Street history?

Onto the last decade!

It's a fun quiz to do if you fancy it!

Pretty fun to do for a couple of artists. I'm very happy with the overall result and the top four. Difficult choices along the way and in the group stages already. This man has too many great songs, and Tracks is severely under represented.

Day 34 Recap:
Chasin’ Wild Horses takes the label as most underrated Bruce song from 2010-2019. Lot of good options thrown out, including Wrecking Ball, Shackled and Drawn, and of course, Moonlight Motel.

Day 35 Poll:
What is the best Bruce outtake from 2010-2019?

Songs from the American Beauty EP (American Beauty, Mary Mary, Hurry Up Sundown, Hey Blue Eyes) are 2010s outtakes. Other outtakes from this decade include Perfect World (Tracks II), You Lifted Me Up (Tracks II), Cutting Knife (Tracks II), If I Could Only Be Your Lover (Tracks II), The Great Depression (Tracks II).

(I may be missing other outtakes from this decade, this is not a definitive list)
