Springsteen Newbies

[SJ121]

As there are many rumours of springsteen playing glastonbury I thought I would take it upon myself to introduce any Springsteen newbies to his music. I have selected my fav videos off youtube which showcase his guitar skills as well as his songwriting capabilities, it seems as though most people only know BITUSA and there is quite simply so much more to his music, just crank some of these up if you've got a spare 5-10 mins and see if you like the bloke lol.

[Wooderson]

to be fair, he/she did say the clips highlighted his guitar playing

[ampersand]

well that's that then. please tell me you have also listened to 30 years of back catalogue before forming that opinion....if so then fair enough....if not then you have 6 months to reconsider...

I only know 'Dancing In The Dark' & 'Born In The USA'

[Kyelo]

I dislike both Young and Springsteen, legends they may be but that doesn't make them good!

[micawber]

Posted this clip elsewhere but worth seeing again for Tom Morello's (RATM) guitar work

ive heard his most famous stuff, and snippets here and there. i just have very little interest in him. slighty more interest than i have in neil young though.

[cabstar]

This is pretty cool though

[benisright]

indeed not

they just happen to be good as well. You don't like them.. that's cool

If Springsteen and the Kaizers are on at the same time, and there's nothing else of interest happening, then you'll probably find me in a tent somewhere with a spliff and my ipod. Anyone else is welcome to join me.

if they are two of the headliners, maybe there's a (slim) chance of them playing a song together, a la 2004 Vote for Change tour?

Springsteen almost always brings somone on for a guest duo or jam spot with the E Street band late in his set...at Glastonbury, it's not a question of "if" he will, but "who" he'll bring. this is probably the best chance ever we'll see Bono grace the pyramid stage. tons of options tho. will be quite a guessing game as to who it will be

oh..

happy new year!

[benisright]

I've seen him loads of times, and he's never had a 'guest'. Where did you get that idea from?

[Wooderson]

who? when? it's very rare if it happens.

[benisright]

Press ctrl+f and type in guest. You should see quite a few mentions.

Usually no one incredibly notable. But Tom Morello obviously played with him. As did Bruce's airplane pilot on one show (because he could play the trumpet).

all I said was it's pretty rare. If he has 'guests' at his shows it's usually old friends (Elliot Murphy for example) or even family. It's not very common... a long way from 'almost always'

no biggie
