Doerfler Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 yes, he does play piano. Love him or hate him, he is America's biggest rock star. IMO, he writes great songs and I hope he continues doing that for a very long time. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bruce-springsteen-70th-birthday-tribute-rob-sheffield-888036/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Dave I saw that. Did you get the Passaic Boot?? I just got it if you want it from Nugs.net. Let me know. I actually thought he was going to be 71. I wish Dan and Clarence were still around to see it. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

MAJUSCULE Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Haven't really been through a Bruce phase, but I do love a few of his songs. Plus, great cameo in High Fidelity. HBD! Quote Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelBLupowitz Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I loved a lot of my dad's music growing up, but Bruce didn't connect with me until college (it was the dual piano and organ in the band that really helped me find my way in, especially in the Born to Run/Darkness era). Absolutely one of the great songwriters American popular music offered up in the second half of the 20th century, and he's a down-to-earth, intelligent, thoughtful man of integrity, despite what some caricatures of him might imply. Glad he's still giving his all for us. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I've always been a big fan and have seen him many times. A lot of them way before Greetings. I remember when he first started playing piano on gigs. He'd have a spinet on stage. I've still got a "board tape' of it. http://linwoodbell.com/clientdownloads/BSB.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Man that is rare stuff. Are you from the East Coast originally?? Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

linwood Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yes...Richmond Va. At this time Southside Johnny was the singer in the band I was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Oh OK I see. Wes here on the forum does backline for him when he is in Canada. My buddy Chuck toured with Southside on trumpet years ago. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

linwood Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I haven't seen or talked to Johnny in years. I was 18/19 when we played together for a couple years. The Hammond Years...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffincltnc Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I haven't really listened to Springsteen since the 1980's, but "Born in the USA" is 35 years old and "Born to Run" came out 44 years ago. A lot of years have gone by since the 70's and 80's era of rock and roll for sure.

jeffincltnc Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 By the way, I did have a chance to chat with Roy Bittan from the E Street Band on Facebook a couple of times when I had a Facebook account and it was enjoyable to connect with him in that format directly about the same things we talk about here.

nursers Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Major Springsteen fan here, though only got into him in my thirties. What I've been most impressed about is his output over his whole career. His stuff since 2001's The Rising has overall been excellent, with a couple of exceptions. His latest, Western Stars is pretty damn great, to the extent I wrote a review Happy birthday Boss Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist My Music: Stainless Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could. I am "friends" with him there but he doesn't really post from what I can see. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.
