Che sorpresa Sandy
Sandy the fireworks are hailin’ over Little Eden tonight
Forcin’ a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July
Down in town the circuit’s full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp
And the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasin’ all them silly New York girls
Sandy the aurora is risin’ behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin’ in them dusty arcades bangin’ them pleasure machines
Chasin’ the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin’ I didn’t think I’d ever get off
Oh Sandy the aurora is risin’ behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Runnin’ down the beach at night with my boss’s daughter
Well he ain’t my boss no more Sandy
Sandy, the angels have lost our desire for us
I spoke to ’em just last night and they said they won’t set themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go
And you can see ’em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo
Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin’ fortunes better than they do
This boardwalk life for me is through
You know you ought to quit this scene too
Sandy the aurora’s rising behind us, the pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I’ll love you forever

Rolling Stone e varie fonti riportano che Clarence Clemons
E Street Band Saxophonist Clarence Clemons has Suffered a StrokeHis condition remains uncertain
Rolling Stone can confirm reports that Clarence Clemons has had a stroke. The news broke this evening at 411.com, which reported that Clemons is “seriously ill after a stroke at his home in Florida.” We have no information on the severity of the stroke, but we have independently confirmed that the E Street Band saxophonist has suffered a stroke.
Clemons has gone through a series of medical ailments – mostly involving his back and knees – over the past decade. He hasn’t missed any concerts, but the conditions caused him to suffer a tremendous amount of pain and discomfort. “That last tour was hell,” Clemons told Rolling Stone in February. “Pure hell.” In the past year Clemons had both knees replaced and spinal fusion surgery. “The timing was perfect because it didn’t interfere with a lot of stuff that was going on in my life,” he says. “It made me stronger, and for the past year I’ve been in physical therapy a few days a week working my ass off to get back in shape. I’m walking better now, though I still use a cane and crutches. But now I’m having hip problems again. I don’t know why.”
Clemons last performed with Springsteen and the E Street Band in December of 2010 at Asbury Park’s Carousel House for a special web broadcast taping. He performs on two songs on Lady Gaga’s new album Born This Way, and just last month played “Edge of Glory” with her at the season finale of American Idol. He was supposed to play the national anthem before Game 2 of the NBA Finals last week, but a hand injury forced him to cancel at the last minute. He watched the game in the stands with Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning.
When Rolling Stone spoke to Clemons in February he said that virtually nothing would take him off the road with Springsteen and The E Street Band. “As long as my mouth, hands and brain still work I’ll be out there doing it,” he said. “I’m going to keep going ’til I’m not there anymore. This is what’s keeping me alive and feeling young and inspired. My spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy told me that my purpose in life is to bring joy and light to the world, and I don’t know any better way to do then what I’m doing now.”

We’ll have more information on Clemons’ medical condition as the story develops.

When I get home from my job I turn on my T.V.
But I can’t keep my mind on the show
When I lay down at night, oh I can’t get no sleep
So I turn on my radio
But the only sound I hear is you whisperin’ in my ear
The words that you used to say
Now my days grow longer
‘Cause my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse
And I’ve got the fever for this girl
CHORUS
Got the fever, oh I’ve got the fever
Nothing that a po’ boy can do
When he’s got the fever for this girl
Got the fever, oh I’ve got the fever
Left this little boy blue
I can remember comin’ home
See you standin’ at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
We’ll maybe go out to a movie show
Something that you like to see
Well now you are my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you baby
I feel alright
Now my days grow longer
‘Cause my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse
And I’ve got the fever for this girl
CHORUS
Sto preparando un paio di cosette, spero interessanti, per questo blog.
Vi raccomando l’ iscrizione per non perdervele.
Ecco intanto i migliori post di febbraio di quest’anno.
Il migliore bootleg video del concerto di Springsteen a Milano il 28 giugno 2003 durante il Rising Tour. Peccato comprenda solo un paio di canzoni.
Nessuno ha la versione completa? Io non sono mai riuscito a trovarla.

notes:
‘Remastering’ information:
Main source: War & Roses, ES49
Source for tracks 8, 12: ‘Treasures From The Vault’
Source for track 7: ‘Rise Like The Rain’
Every track edited, in the beginning this was going to be a 3 cd set – I had originally 56 tracks (edited), but ended up
using only these 14.
I tried to get the best possible sound quality but still include as much variation as possible – some tracks sound a bit
worse.
This is just something I did every now and then when I got tired of editing the live shows.
——
” There were two outtakes from Born To Run: ‘Linda Let Me Be The One’ is on Tracks,
and there was another one called ‘Walking in The Street’ which I would have liked to have put on,
but I couldn’t find the master. We searched and searched. It might have been simply recorded over, because in those days,
if something wasn’t going to make it, you’re going to need that tape so you recorded something else over the top.
” – B. Springsteen, MOJO Magazine interview 1999.
