Stuff like this makes me wish I lived in America.

The best we can hope for over here is a Savage Garden reunion tour.....

Wow, I'd KILL to hear that Hold Steady cover. One of the best rock bands around currently.

I've heard Malin do Hungry Heart before and it's really good.

There was very little fanfare for this show here in NYC. I toyed with the idea of getting a single ticket, but the date came and went before I got around to it.

Maybe so, Simon, but you've got Kylie. Nicole Kidman, and Naomi Watts. That should provide at least some comfort...

. . . and let's not forget Claudia Black.

lots of good coverage over on youtube. you can start here, with Bruce & everyone else doing a very fun version of Rosalita -

31 Nights to Rock

The 2007 E Street Band itinerary

Here's what we've been waiting for. And if you don't see what you've been waiting for... like hey, no shows south of D.C.?... don't worry just yet: If history serves as any guide, Springsteen and the E Street Band won't be calling a halt to the new tour after two-and-a-half months. We fully expect to see this machine motoring well into 2008, hitting more cities (and countries) as they go. But for now, at last, here's the full 2007 rundown.

October 2 Hartford, CT
October 5 Philadelphia, PA
October 9-10 East Rutherford, NJ
October 14 Ottawa, ONT
October 15 Toronto, ONT
October 17-18 New York, NY
October 21 Chicago, IL
October 26 Oakland, CA
October 28 Los Angeles, CA
November 2 St Paul, MN
November 4 Cleveland, OH
November 5 Auburn Hills, MI
November 11 Washington, D.C.
November 14 Pittsburgh, PA
November 15 Albany, NY
November 18 Boston, MA

November 25 Madrid, SPAIN
November 26 Bilbao, SPAIN
November 28 Milan, ITALY
November 30 Arnhem, NETHERLANDS
December 2 Mannheim, GERMANY
December 4 Oslo, NORWAY
December 8 Copenhagen, DENMARK
December 10 Stockholm, SWEDEN
December 12 Antwerp, BELGIUM
December 13 Cologne, GERMANY
December 15 Belfast, IRELAND
December 17 Paris, FRANCE
December 19 London, UK

That's 31 nights to rock -- and then some, I'll bet, with room in the schedule for additional two-fers in some cities. Be sure to stay alert for added shows once tickets go on sale.

I want some Western Canadian shows!

Like Backstreets reported, it'll be a quick 31 dates and then 2008 will be a much longer tour.

Surprising that he's doing Ottawa and Toronto on consective dates, and then skipping Montreal, which is hop,skip, and a jump away.

Hey Marvin,

Read the interview I posted that Bruce did with Backstreets, he seems very excited about this tour.

Mark

Glad to see he's playing NYC (The Garden, presumably), so I don't have to haul myself out to the Meadowlands. Or will these be Stadium dates?

I'm guessing the NYC dates are MSG.

Too bad he can't put the Nassau Coliseum on the list.

Just read the "Backstreets" interview. Great to hear how pumped-up Bruce is about the album and tour. That can only bode well for the fans. Everybody ready to take the ride one more time?!

Marv

I'm ready for this ride...

I've been a fan since pretty much the early days, a subscriber to "Backstreets" for 27 years, and I still get excited everytime there is a tour announcement.

By the way, an upcoming issue of "Backstreets" will have a story on Raspberries written by me.

Marv

Cool Marv...when?

The story on Raspberries (and Bruce's love for the band), was slated to be in the next issue of "Backstreets:, but now with a new Bruce tour and album taking precedent, the story might be pushed back.

Marv

If you're able, please let us know when it might be included.

In the meantime, let's hop aboard the train...

Chris Phillips (editor of "Backstreets") told me that the story would be in the next issue, but let's see what happens. I totally understand the need for "Magic" and the tour to be in the forefront and get priority now.

Marv

Cool...
