I cannot wait to hear a remastered Nebraska, my favorite BS album...

[The Only Way To Fly]

Nebraska +1

I cannot wait to hear a remastered Nebraska, my favorite BS album...

Kind of defeats the purpose of "Nebraska". The whole point of "Nebraska" was for it to sound lo-fi, like it was recorded in a hotel room on a portable tape recorder. That's what made that album so great...its stark bare-bones sonic approach.

Okay, to the scoreboard...we now have Bruce Springsteen to add to the list of major bands reissuing deluxe remasters or archives from the vaults this fall. Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, Bruce. It is going to be an expensive autumn.

This sounds wonderful

Saw this on BeTrue, a dutch webzine dedicated to Bruce. For dutch fans a very good and reliable source of Bruce-news.

Oh and speaking of Bruce & The E-street band, Jake Clemons (yup, nephew of The Big Man and now filling his uncle's shoes....) did an intimate living room

performance last night here in The Hague. It was a very special night to say these least, something like this is likely not to happen again.....

I was proud to be there....
