Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger
Perform 'Old Time Rock & Roll' in NYC
DECEMBER 2, 2011 | By ANDY GREENE Rolling Stone



Nice to see the Boss getting warmed up for the tour

"Just because you've been good little boys and girls this year we have a little Christmas treat for you," Bob Seger told the crowd early in his set at Madison Square Garden last night. "Mr. Bruce Springsteen!" With that, the place went absolutely insane as Springsteen came onstage, gave Seger a hug and launched into "Old Time Rock & Roll."

The two have been friends for years, but as far as I know only played together one other time, at the University of Michigan on the opening night of the River tour in October of 1980. They did "Thunder Road" that night. It only took 31 years for Bruce to return the favor, but for the crowd at MSG last night, it was definitely worth the wait.

This video can also finally prove to your mom that Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen aren't actually the same person. They have the same initials, similar voices, similar career arcs and similar musical stylings, but they are, in fact, different human beings.

[Almeida's Army]

Cheers Matt- good to see him back!

Bruce warming up for the tour further with an appearance with the brilliant Gaslight Anthem on Friday night, where he played guitar and did back-up vocals


Not quite the best quality video or sound but still pretty awesome

His other appearances with The Gaslight Anthem:




My two favourite bands

[Logan]

Lots of rumors on where THE Us leg of the tour will start does look to be Denver March 6 moving to Arizona then to LA NY then Montreal Boston Tampa . European leg stats as posted 2nd week in May till end of July . Expect August to stadium shows all over US thru October .

[Almeida's Army]

Nah disagree- August will be kept free for the olympics and then September he's set to be in Australia. October-December will be the US stuff probably...

Meh, who needs U.S. tour dates. Yes, the latest Internet rumor has Springsteen’s 2012 album and North American tour announcement coming next Wednesday, on what would have been Clarence Clemons’ 70th birthday, but time will tell. In the meantime, if you’re anywhere near Virginia you can pay your own respects to the Big Man by attending this weekend’s tribute concerts the lineup is below, via http://hamptonroads.com/2012/01/clar...n-two-tributes
Artists confirmed to perform include current E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent, former E Street Band drummer Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez, Gary U.S. Bonds, Southside Johnny, John Cafferty and Michael “Tunes” Antunes of the Beaver Brown Band, Adam Glenn (Steel Mill), and Bobby Bandiera (The Asbury Jukes, Bon Jovi). The Nick Clemons Band, led by Clarence’s son, will also be playing, as will Clarence’s nephew, Jake Clemons.

Some of course believe that Springsteen will show up, but it sounds like a great show — and a worthy tribute — either way. He will be there hell Clarence and him along with Stevie Roy Gary Niles and of course Max are family. Was one the biggest parts of the band popularity and if he is in the US Bruce wil be there no doubt in my mind



· Speaking of places where Bruce may or may not show up, Light of Day is almost here! We expect to have Blogness correspondents on scene, so check back after next weekend for the full report.

· Rolling Stone covers Springsteen among its “Hopes and Fears” for 2012. Given that they’ve never met a Springsteen album they didn’t like (WOAD got five stars), they don’t mention the fear that many seem to have, namely that the album will be, well, like WOAD. But like us here at Blogness, they probably have a good feeling that this one will be a keeper.

· Burning Wood blog marks the 30th anniversary of the recording of Nebraska.

· Springsteen to be the cover boy for SXSWORLD magazine.


· Finally, to say we’re giddy with excitement over the Netflix debut of the new Stevie Van Zandt gangster show “Lillyhammer” would be an understatement. They’re making all eight episodes available at once — I smell marathon! (Watch the trailer and tell me you don’t get all tingly.)
