Great insight into Bruce's early career
Published 2007-06-17
After my offline time, I've finally managed to catch up on a few things that were neglected in the last 1½ months. That included approving about two dozen concert eyewitness accounts that had been submitted. Among them was a whole bunch of accounts written by former Springsteen roadie and musician in his own right, Albee Tellone. He also played for Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom during their brief time on Earth. Provided they are legit, and I have absolutely no reason to think otherwise, these accounts offer a rare view at life on the road with Bruce and the early incarnations of the E Street Band around 1972. There are also accounts from the last shows Steel Mill played in January 1971. Go to the main site and the Magic in the Night section, choose Tours -> Early E Street Band -> Only show concerts with Eyewitness accounts. Many of the resulting hits will include an eyewitness account by Mr. Tellone. He also managed to set a few things straight in regard to dates of shows, so thank you for that. I hope I got the corrections right.
If you want to know more about Albee Tellone read this interview conducted by Torsten Mörke on Castiles.net in 2005.
