The German fanclub The Wish believes that the dates for the shows in Germany will be announced on February 8. If that is the case, there is no reason to think that the rest of the European tour won't be announced too. After that it will probably only be a matter of days before the tickets go on sale. So get ready and prepare for a cold night in line. Read more

We got "Murder Incorporated", we got the box of outtakes, we got the E Street Band reunion. What more can we ask for? Well, a video release of one of Bruce's concerts, of course! Now you can help make this dream come true by signing a letter to Springsteen asking him to consider it. You can see the letter on Matt Orel's site. Read more

   

According to Sunday's issue of New York Times there are plans to reopen the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. The dance club, Vinyl, which replaced the Stone Pony, was apparently not a success and has already closed down.

A radio station in Bayern said on Friday that Bruce would do 5-8 shows in Germany by the end of June. The word is of course not official, and it contradicts earlier indications that Bruce would only be in Europe during April and May. Speaking of Germany, a newspaper in Bielefeld recently reported that Sony in Germany had announced a new Springsteen album to be released. No word on when, so they are absolutely right. There will be a new Springsteen album, but he has to record it first. Read more

   

A good source tells us that there will in fact be a new Bruce album before the tour, but before you get your hopes up, it will only be a compilation from Tracks. The new album will be a single CD compilation of the best of the Tracks songs. No word yet on eactly which ones, but a good guess would be that it won't be that different from the promo CD that has been used by radio stations and handed out as prizes in various contests. This CD was made up by the following songs: Growin' up Rendezvous Hearts of Stone Restless Nights Where the Bands Are Loose Ends I Wanna Be With You Born in the USA Lion's Den Janey Don't You Lose Heart Sad Eyes Trouble in Paradise Seven Angles Happy Back in Your Arms Probably not what most fans would choose, but these songs would constitute a very strong album nonetheless and should make for a rather large success. Which again could have a noticable impact on the ticket situation for the upcoming tour. An official announcement of the album will probably come simultaneously with the tour announcement.

Addicted to Noise has interviewed Steve Van Zandt and Clarence Clemons in an article about the reunion tour. The article confirms the participation of Steve, Clarence, Max and Nils indicating that it's not certain who else will be on the tour. However, we know that at least Gary Tallent will be there (he recently mentioned it in a radio interview in Oklahoma), and we would be very surprised if Roy, Danny and Patti weren't there too. So, no need to worry. Rehearsals for the tour begin next week in New Jersey. Steve wants "Loose Ends" to be included in the set. Clarence allegedly wants "Spirit in the Night". Read more

   

We wrote a few days ago that a show in Austria would take place on either April 20 or April 23. Now a source is telling us that there will be two shows, one on the 22nd of April and one on the 23rd. This should be as good as certain, but you never know... Read more

   

It has been officially announced that Max Weinberg will take a leave of absence from the Conan O'Brian show to join Bruce on the road with the E Street Band.
