Sadeyes57 writes: Good news for Scotland. What about everyone else? I guess there is still no sign of an English date? How very disappointing. I am resigned now.

Gary writes: My understanding is that the original was indeed used on the Magic tour, and it was during the tour that Bruce decided to 'retire' it.

OutlawArnie writes: Difficult to make a 7-8 minutets Outlaw Pete interesting in a live setting??? Head over heels. Bruce could play alone with the guitar for at least 37 minutes and I would still have found it interesting. Looking forward to see the E-street band in Norway this summer

Mike writes: What a fun show it will be. They'll have their mutual admiration society meeting for each other and President Obama. I won't be watching a couple of closed minded hacks who want to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation. I wonder how many Bruce Springsteens there are in Europe? Probably none because no one has the money to pay $100 for a concert.

Todd writes: Mike, "closed minded", please, what I call closed minded is a group of people who actually believed that Iraq has something to do with 911 and that the U.S invasion and occupation of that country is having any impact against Bin Laden or Al Qaida. That is just not closed minded, that is brain dead. Based on your tone about Bruce simply going on a fun, light and comical talk show, is it safe to say you bend over and let Rush and Hannity shove it? Lighten up and accept the interview for what it is, it is not the U.N. or G-8.

Laurie Stokes writes: Max's decision to play on some late night TV show instead of being loyal to his bandmates and E Street fans does seem a strange one. It was sad not to have Danny on the last tour & now with Max dropping out E Street shows really won't be the same. One thing I would point out though, Max does seem to running out of puff if you see footage of him in recent years...the job of E Street drummer is a hard physical one! I just hope this doesn't mean the beginning of the end of our favourite band.

the iLSTER, Israel writes: few thoughts come to mind , firstly i dont understand Max , i mean , for sure he doesent have financial problems that forced him to insure the late night job . what will go on in his mind when he's in the late night television show ,night after night after night after night while all the E's is out on the road ? that he's a good father ? concern about Jay's performance and how it affects the band or even jeopardizes the show ? i dont understand him . i hate to say it , but i dont think the Max is in his best form ,he is still Mighty Max and will always be but but he's not as quick as he used to be , try comparing old live recordings to recent tour ones ,its like arrangments had changed to fit his ability . so actually a new young drummer can bring freshness ,or bring back some lost drumming . and its actually cool that its Max's son . maybe there is a "like father like son " master plan . . Jay's already in , Danny's kid is one foot in (recorded and played with the band ) and slowly slowly they will all be replaced , big man will bring his big son , and so on until in the end we'll all get an all new E street band and Evan Springsteen will be known as the new boss . steve will always stay though, he's always little . good luck J mighty J

Brucefan writes: Max has a full-time job with NBC. It's not easy to take time off for months for the fun of it. Max is an important part of the new Tonight Show. They can't grow an audience with the bandleader being absent for long periods of time. Max could quit NBC but his future is with Conan. Bruce has let him go once. Max can't rely on Bruce's loyalty. As far as Max breaking up the band, the band ceased being the band when Danny died. Bruce has moved on because the show must go on. It's time we let go of the old band.

Mighty Mighty MAX! writes: Max Weinberg is and will always be the BIG BEAT of E-Street. The plays like no one else - totally knitted to Springsteen?s music. Hopefully he will be at EVERY E-Street Band show on this upcoming tour. E-Street without Max is not E-Street!

69chevi396 writes: I do feel short changed that I bought tickets to see ESB 9 times on the upcoming tour and now discover I am not seeing the full band. Ir was never the same when Stevie left. It will never be the same now that Danny is no longer with us. Max, you have made this decision knowing full well this will upset people who have been loyal to him for longer than a poxy TV show. Yes Led Zep did it by asking Jason Bonham to sit in but it still wasn't Led Zep and that is how I will feel this time round about ESB. I can feel a compensation claim coming - Trade Descriptions Act!!! Probably could happen in USA as they'll sue anybody for anything. But seriously, Max, this will piss off a lot of loyal European fans. Why should you be paid for appearing on the WOAD album and then choose to opt out of playing in front of those European fans who have bought the album which is putting money into your pocket? Not a good call Max. There is definitely something wrong with this particular picture.

Christina writes: Is Jay in for the whole tour, or is Max going to play some shows? I think that's excatly what most Max-fans from Europe are asking themselves, incl. me. I really hope that Max will be there for more then the shows in Italy and Spain. Most of the shows I will see are in the first half of the EU-tour. Also If I knew for sure that Max where only playing these last shows, I would swift things around a bit, so I catch more shows in the end. THIS IS KILLING ME.........INFO PLEASE....

Mats writes: To comment on the iLSTER, The E Street Band has become a minor circus for the last ten years. Patti dosen't belong, one guitarplayer is enuff besides Bruce, come to think of it, from the beginning there was just Bruce. The only time you need a violinplayer is on the intro for Jungleland, Mad dog isn't the best drummer for the band but he was the first one. Time to scale down, Bruce, Max (or Jay) Garry, Clarence and Roy(or why not David Sancious) would be the ultimate E Street Band.

Brian, Denmark writes: Max is the best. No doubt about it. But i dont mind his son play a few gigs this year. But still, why dont they just begin the tour a few months earlier, so that Max could be a part of it?

Colin writes: I enjoy Stewart's point-of-view and he seems like a nice guy, completely charming But he's generally unfunny (even with 20 writers - which may tell us something), not bright enough to do poltical satire successfully and the worst interviewer ever to have their own TV show in the US (yep, Kelly and Regis included).

Some songs are just downright silly. It is by far Bruce's worst work possibly ever. Terry's Song is so much better as a trubute then The Last Carnival. I have wondered if Bruce would actually do a show without Born To Run. While Born To Run as a complete album is my all time #1 never to be replaced favorite, I could hear Kitty's Back or Incident On 57th Street instead of Born To Run. We are going to the first Phila show at the end of the month. At least it is still an E Street Band concert. I hope Bruce nevers gets down to him with all replacement players like Axel Rose and G n R! LOL!! We just saw Southside Johnny on Saturday night, and are going to Billy Joel and Elton John as well. Southside was excellent even with his constantly changing band!!

Dangerman writes: How about a simpler explanation: the new album sucks. It's the weirdest "catch all" of studio experiments that I have ever heard. Save for a couple of gems (and I do mean only a couple), the "album" sounds like a collection of studio outtakes that weren't even fit for "Tracks". No coherent message, just a dabbling in various styles. "Queen of the Supermarket" is just plain weird and borderline disturbing. Rolling Stone magazine has lost any sort of pretense to journalism when it comes to Springsteen as evidenced by the 5 stars it gave to this latest project. Someone (a little help over here, Steven)needs to sit down with the Boss and get him out of the cocoon. I mean what would the 24 year old who wrote Born to Run think of this latest work? Not even in same league.

Jill writes: YAH.....the BOSS is Wayyyyyyyy Sexy!! I don't think any of us were ask to vote on the stupid list!! What does the news folks know anyway!!!

the iLSTER, Israel writes: i dont agree with you dangerman ,WOAD is a good album . at the begining i thought like you . . only 2 good songs(outlaw , good eye ) and thats it , but what can i say , this life is good after all , and so is kingdom , and Queen and the very cute suprise' suprise . . ofcourse its different from born to run bruce .. or any 70's young bruce work . we need to remember that bruce is not a wild , innocent ,growing up young man . he is almost 60 . you cant write born to run at 60 . but you can write - long walk home . but it doesnt matter if this album sucks or not . it is the WOAD album , and this is the WOAD tour . make the connection . just like any kind of a bruce fan will find some good in WOAD , i thing that the show should be arranged that the same happens on tour . bruce is going around 3 hours per show since the 70's , but since then the material has been trippled to say the least . if u take 2 songs from each studio album it covers more than a show . so if bruce plays 2,3 songs from your favorite album , concider your self lucky . WOAD should get atleast 5 .

JerseyShoreSteve writes: As a Jersey Shore resident who sees the band all over in real life, I know Max has a VERY bad back. I suspect that his decision has something to do with that. Playing a couple of easy numbers a night as Conan's musical side-kick is a lot easier than 4 hours a night of mostly hard-driving rock-and-roll. Max left the regular gym where I used to see him (I've known him since high school, where Becky was one of my teachers) and has taken up pilates to help with the back. But it's gotta be tough on all of these musicians to do what they do the way they do it at their ages. Take it easy on Max. This decision may not have been entirely under his control.

K writes: He's turning into a nostalgia act playing the hits and classics night after nights. Nothing to do with the economy. Dangerman, Rolling Stone awarded the latest Mick Jagger album Goddess in the Doorway five stars.

Bill Lane writes: I have said it before. WOAD is possibly Bruce's worst ever. I like most of the 1992 "other band" songs better. I am going to Phila in 2 weeks. I have listened to WOAD in it's entirety only once so far. I guess I will give have to it another listen before the concert. Surprise Surprise to me is Bruce running out of lyrics. These are Magic leftovers that aren't Magical. There are 3-4 songs here that are worth a listen. The bonus Wrestler song is better then most WOAD songs. I am gald it is a ESB album and tour, but by all means possible it should NOT be the last! Bruce would have to end it on a better work and album then this!

klaus writes: Interesting... is that Hilburn-review in the Work-section here at Greasy Lake? I can't find it and it sure sounds like a great read! And yes, the first leg of a tour should focus on the new album. I actually found the first leg of Magic more interesting than the second (though that was great fun). But the leg... shit was TIGHT!

Karsten writes: Klaus, that article is not in the articles collection on GL, but I should try to track it down.

david writes: Woad is a mature album full of beautiful song. Any bruce show is a good show. I would hate to go to the show and not here songs like what love can do, life itself and this life. What a great album it should be played more. Shelf the nostalgia song and play the new ones

Mississippi Gary writes: WOAD is growing on me, i am beginning to like it a lot! I'm looking forward to seeing the Boss for the first time ever when he plays Glasgow and it would be a shame not to hear some of the album tracks live. It is baffling that this tour is to promote the latest album yet he is hardly dipping into it all. To those who say this album is awful - i say stick it on in the car, put it on when you are doing some house work, chores, gardening, painting the fence, whatever and slowly this album will grow on you and you will begin to appreciate it. Trust me. I'm not a doctor but trust me anyway.

Dangerman writes: While I'm here stirring the pot, how about this: I think that the last three albums have about one and a half albums of great material. And I think that the last truly great album that Springsteen has made was Tunnel of Love nearly twenty years ago. I credit Brenden O'Brien for bringing out some melodic stuff that has been sorely lacking for a looonnngg time. "Tom Joad" and "Devils and Dust" were darn near atonal. And I think the writing has become cliche with a constant reworking of themes and phrases that have been used over and over from album to album. There's just not a lot of growth here. And one more thing: given recent scandalous news developments, doesn't "Good Eye" sound like it hits awfully close to home? And don't a lot of the other songs sound like overwrought love songs to the Missus? I mean, those are the kinds of songs I'd write if I wanted to sleep in my own bed again. That being said, "Kingdom of Days" is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

BBTL writes: All of you that are yearning for a return to the days of Born To Run are misguided and frankly imbecilic. One of the things that we all cherish about Bruce is his ability to change and work in other mediums. So many fans decried TGOTJ upon its release and yet they have largely changed their tune. If QOTS is 'borderline disturbing' for some fans, then please feel free to go elsewhere. I am not a fan that feels that all that Springsteen writes is gospel, but please, the glorious orchestral workings of The Queen Of The Supermarket are wonderful to listen to. Its true that the album may well be more difficult to translate into the live environment given its rich arrangment in the studio, but given that be happy that there is a tour at all - he could easily have promoted WOAD in the same way as Nebraska with no tour. As I have said all along, if its not to your taste then feel free to debate but saying that such glorious, rich songs are 'borderline disurbing' on this album considering the dirth of good music out today is pointless and immature. I'm off to see Bruce in Seville where I know that like all other European fans, there'll be a great appreciation for the Band, whatever show he chooses to put on. If you listen to the band now, and the E Street Bands of the 80s and early 00s, they have reached a new level of togetherness and musical intricacy. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are something to be savoured and marvelled at and it seems that Europeans are the ones that know how to enjoy it. Seriously, if you are disenfranchised with the album and the Band at the moment, get to a European show - its something completely different to the US experience. I've seen Bruce in Sheffield, UK; Arnhem, NED; Dublin, IRE, Cardiff, UK and now Seville and in comparison to the shows I saw on the same tour in the same years in Boston, New York and Tampa - its all about Europe.

johnnieboy writes: I agree with Dangerman. Comon people compare both WOAD and magic with anthing off of BTR and DOTEOT and nothing comes close. He like Dylan is a victim of his own incredibly high standard of output over the years. I saw The Who a couple of years ago and they were still amazing but if I had listened to Endless Wire before buying tickets I might not have bothered. Bruce can still cut it live and thats all that matters. I dont get to see him every day so when I do i,d rather hear Racing in the street than This Life (Cabaret!) I will turn 60 next year to but these classic songs still affect me deeply...life is to short!

Mississippi Gary writes: FAO JOhnnieboy. That may well be true (comparing the new stuff to the old) but this is the WOAD Tour! Come on Brucie - play some new ones.

K writes: New songs vs. classics: "What other band, three decades into the game, gets its most intense audience reaction with new songs? There is no need to stage a legend Olympics between U2 and AC/DC and the Eagles and the Allman Brothers and the Stones?plenty of bands are holding up well into their rock-and-roll winter. But the only band of this vintage consistently generating new hits that bring in a younger crop of fans every five years is U2." http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/musical/2009/04/06/090406crmu_music_frerejones

Laurie Stokes writes: I think that Dangerman gets it right with his opening paragraph, basically WOAD is a crap album which in time will be better forgotten. This is not the sort of music we expect from Bruce and I cannot understand why he would think his (longtime loyal) fans would like it.I have an uneasy feeling that releasing this album and giving British fans 2 crappy festival type shows he is trying to attract a different type of audience...I hope I'm wrong!

gpjmoss writes: Working on a Dream is a poor album. Like many above, I was listening to both Tracks and Human Touch recently. They are both better than the recent release, which is a tour-focused marketing cash-in which will only dent Bruce's reputation. Less is more, and Magic was a very good album. These off-cuts don't help anyone, and compared to the lumpen arrangements of Human Touch (beneath which there lurks some great songs, particularly on Side 1, if only Bruce would re-record them!) or the gems released in Tracks this album is awful. And it doesn't grow - I've played it on my commute to and from work for nearly a month, and I've gone back to Magic, which is a far, far better album. I've been a Bruce fan since 1982 and have always been interested in his out-takes, despite his less-is-more release philosophy. The out-take bootlegs from 1978 to about 1983 are so much better than Working On A Dream. How about getting the Darkness 30th (31st now!!) release out, and how about releasing officially a disc full of unreleased tracks? And when The River comes up for re-release, please include the original The Ties That Bind album, one of Bruce's best. They all highlight the artistic decline of a man who is, frankly, baffling me. Bruce is ruining his reputation, alienating his fan base (Wal-Mart!!) and may well loose his place in the pantheon of modern rock music if he keeps this up. This level of output might make him more judicious in his new release plan. A far better, and neglected, recent release was the Live EP - great artwork, four great songs and a far more worthy release. I bet we now get a live DVD of Magic/WOAD tour highlights - and the highlights will be the classics, not the recent material. Bruce is a socially relevant artist, and his latest output and actions are denting this. I don't therefore agree with johnnieboy and his comments about The Who (agree that Endless Wire is shamefully bad, though) but Bruce is still a relevant artist, not a nostalgia act. He should be doing better. Maybe he will have a late career revival, like Dylan, whose recent studio albums are, in my opinion, among his best. And, you know, I though that, of all the musicians I listen to, I'd never be saying his about Bruce.

Dangerman writes: I think it must be incredibly difficult to avoid the traps that fame and wealth bring. We've seen so many other artists succumb and either kill themselves or have their work turn to pudding (see Pete Townshend above). There's a real tendency toward narcissim and self-involvement, especially when you get very comfortable and there aren't people around to challenge you. It's interesting to note how the album art and videos have changed in recent years. Rising, Magic and latest Dream CD all feature Springsteen photos prominently with very little other images of band members. The last album doesn't even mention E-Street Band on cover, nor did Magic. Recent video output is similar: Jersey Devil is only him, as is Wrestler, as is much of the video included in Dream package. It's weird. I look at the Sessions in Dublin DVD and I am so impressed by the guy's talent and you wonder if he shines there because it's a live performance, or becuase he is relying on the reworking of proven standards, or if he is being challenged by new (and better?) musicians. His performance there seems really invigorated and of a quality not heard on the records.

Timmy Petersson writes: What the heck... Now look at the last show (April 16) - Three songs from WoaD and FOUR cover songs! Now that's just too much...

RBB writes: I agree with the sentiments that the new album is lacking. It's an experiment at best. I am glad he's not torturing us with Queen of the Supermarket. I like the old War Horses, that's why I shell 110 bucks for a ticket.

jjazznola writes: It's pretty simple. When he's played the new songs, just like early on the Magic tour, people get quiet or go out for food, drinks, restroom etc. This tour is for the band and they want to rock the house!

John McG writes: Well, I must have been listening to a different album for the last few months from most of the people commenting on here, because I consider Working on a Dream to be one of Bruce's best albums for many years. Some fantastic songs on there with great melodies and terrific singing from Bruce. I find it a hugely enjoyable album to listen to, and I really hope he starts playing some more songs from it as the tour goes on, preferably before he hits Dublin and Glasgow. Songs like Kingdom of Days, This Life, Outlaw Pete, and The Last carnival are classic Springsteen. For me the guy is just the greatest ever. The only album Bruce has ever realeased which has been sub-standard is Human Touch. I've loved every other one. WOAD dream is a mature album of songs written by an artist about to his 60 years old, content with his life, and much more positive and optimistic about his country's future. I for one hope Bruce continues to write more classic albums for years to come, i'm sure he will. He is the artist of our age as far as I am concerned.

mick parkinson writes: looks like im going to scotland in july if bruce wont come to england we will have to go to bruce

Joe writes: Working on a dream is an album with very great tracks on it ! "Tomorrow never knows" is way underrated for example. Why should Bruce have written a second BTR ? Nobody needs it. And with Magic he summed up the last 30 years... Magic is definitely a TOP 3 album of Bruce and I know that a lot of people became fans through it. For all the folks who don't like the new stuff: MAybe it's more because of you and your wrong retro-expectations than of Bruce making a NEW album with NEW music that hasn't be heared from him yet. The 60's approach is a very interesting one and I would be glad if he plays lots of stuff from this album here in Europe when they come around

downingcr writes: Bruce needs to release more of his live material officially. He needs to do what Dylan did with the Bootleg Series. Maybe one or two shows from each tour, starting wtih the 1978 tour (by far the best rock tour in history).

Not Working on a Dream writes: Let's face it, Bruce's Glory Days have passed him by. Of course people have been saying this for years but as time goes on, he's lost more fans than he's gained. I don't know who would become a fan now. The music isn't that great. The diehards are falling by the wayside. The people still onboard are fading fast. I don't know why Bruce's popularity is such an issue. He's comfortable with the current status of his career.

Delusional Bruce writes: "(Later on, he praised the "democraticness? of the intimate-by-arena-standards venue, which is slated for demolition at the end of this year, as being "ideal for rock shows? and said "it's a treat to be in this lovely old building before it comes down. So we salute the Spectrum.?)" This is why there are few new Bruce fans. The man is clearly delusional because he can't keep politics out of anything. I think you know why only have 30 new accounts. Bruce wants to be a has-been so he's traded popularity for politics. That's his choice so I don't feel sorry for him at all.

K writes: Another cynical exploitation of his loyal fanbase who will buy any new release.

Rob writes: Your not alone John McG. I also think this latest effort is a great album. Definately not in the Darkness, BTR, or Bruce has come full circle with his career and songs like "lucky Day" and "This life" only complete his journey. For those of us that love his anthems and harder driving times, let's appreciate and think back to what a "storyteller" is all about. Bruce has written some of the best stories ala "tenth avenue" and "jungle" and continues with "Outlaw pete" and "Kingdom of Days". Let's not forget back with BTR, that album had to make him, or we wouldn't have been priveledged 33 years later to be enjoying the greatest Rock and Roller ever! So jump in your car, pop in WOAD and crank it up. Go for a long drive and listen to it 5 or 6 times. I did, and it does grow on you! Heading to Greensboro tomorrow.....can't wait!

Watching the set lists,itappears that the WOAD music is taking a backseat to the "oldies" which IS fine by me. As long as they keep it interesting and spontaneous, I'll continue to pay $100.00 a ticket!!

ParadiaseTramp writes: I took my 15+ year old daughter to see the boys on 08-18-08 in Richmomnd, VA and I made her a "TRAMP IN TRAINING" t-shirt, as this was her 1st show and she got pulled up on stage, by Bruce, for the entire "Mary's Place" song. She sang along with him (they shared the mic), word-for-word and they danced and did the bump and he picked her up and swung her around and cradled her in his arms...My daughter was TOAST after that...She's DEFINITELY a TRAMP now. All the way home all she could talk about was "How sexy he is and how he has a "BANGIN" body and she is sooo honored to have been a part of one of the MAGIC shows...OH YEAH, and WHEN can I take her to see another show??? That's my girl!!!

The Duke Street King writes: What a rip-off. I am sure fans dont want to keep paying for more and more copies of the song Born to Run. How about a Tracks II? A DVD and/or CD release of a live show from the Magic tour? I bought Greatest Hits once. And that was plenty.
