With Bruce hardly back in the States after his short European tour, dates for mostly Scandinavian shows in June 2003 are already trickling in with tickets going on sale in early November. For the first time ever, Bruce will do a show in Finland (Helsinki to be more specific), but also Oslo, Gothenburg (2 shows) and Copenhagen are now more or less official, just as a show in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on May 6.

Bruce was on fire at last night's show in Stockholm. Not quite ready to continue into "She's the One" Bruce launched into a wild, impromptu cover of Van Morrison's "Gloria" right after "Badlands". Before that the stunned hardcore fans present had witnessed the first version of "Jackson Cage" on European soil since 1981. They were also treated to "Candy's Room" and solo piano versions of "Incident on 57th Street" and "For You". "The Fuse" was also played for the first time in Europe. Read more

In August 2001, Clarence Clemons performed twice at the Stone Pony with Bruce appearing at the first of the two shows. It was already then clear that the show was going to be used for a live album.

Bruce just can't restrict himself to 23 songs. Last night's show in Bologna went on for close to three hours with 25 songs. The last song, "Thunder Road", was done as a full-band version, but after the band had left the stage and the houselights had been turned on, Bruce returned to the stage, sat down at the piano, and accompanied the crowd for another version of "Thunder Road". The show also included "Something in the Night", "You Can Look" and "For You". Read more

   

For the first time since the 1988 broadcast of the show in East Berlin, Bruce allowed a TV station to air live from one of his concerts. This happened last night in Barcelona when most of Europe was able to follow the first 90 minutes of the show live on their TV screens. The broadcast featured mostly standard tunes, but Bruce did move the rocking "Dancing in the Dark" up right after "Mary's Place" to send off the TV viewers. However, after the broadcast ended he not only pulled out the tour premiere of "Spirit in the Night" (done solo piano for the first time ever), he also performed "Incident on 57th Street" for the first time in Europe ever. The encores featured "Night" and closed with "Thunder Road". Read more
