Tramps Like Us to perform another legendary concert
Our friends from the Springsteen cover band Tramps Like US recently re-enacted the famous Capitol Theater show from September 19, 1978. They now follow up on the success by doing another one of those shows that helped shape Bruce's live legend. Here's what they have to say about the event:
"It's the 35 year anniversary of Springsteen's 5 day-10 show marathon run at The Bottom Line in New York City. On Saturday May 15 at BB Kings in Times Square NYC Tramps Like Us is set to re-create one of the most historic Springsteen concerts ever... the August 15th 1975 show which was broadcast live on the radio and widely bootlegged around the world. Rolling Stone included this concert on their list of: "The 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock & Roll." It was our coming-out party," Springsteen said. "And some sort of transformation occurred over those five nights. We walked out of that there in a different place."
With a special introduction and Q&A session by Mike Appel to set up the scene - Springsteen's former manager & producer, Tramps Like Us will then perform all songs and versions in order as was done that night. This is the second time ever that an entire Bruce Springsteen concert has been recreated... both times by Tramps Like Us. The first concert re-creation was the legendary September 19th, 1978 concert at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. That show was met with rave reviews and was a COMPLETE SELL-OUT at BB King's in NYC.
A SPECIAL NIGHT, SPECIAL GUESTS, AND A SPECIAL OFFER FOR A GREAT CAUSE. Thanks to Bruce, Clarence, Eric Meola, Mike Appel & Tramps Like Us! When originally offered in late 2006, the limited edition of Eric Meola's photography book, Born to Run: The Unseen Photos, sold out quickly. Now, the LAST TWO of these photographic gems are in the process of being signed on the title page especially for this event by both Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons and are being offered in an auction. Auction takes place prior to Tramps Like Us re-creation of The 1975 Bottom Line Concert at BB Kings in NYC on May 15, 2010. All proceeds go to support the The NJ Food Bank."
