Siamo arrivati all’ ultimo tour di Springsteen con la sua E-street band? Sembrerebbe proprio di si almeno a leggere le dichiarazioni di Little Steven.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are expected to take one or two years off after performing 26 shows booked though Nov. 22 in Buffalo, NY.
“We are going to take a break,” E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. “I don’t know how long, one year, year-and-a-half, two years off. This is a good time to see us. We may not be as pretty, [but] we seem to be getting better in funny ways.
“You never know. This could be be the last tour. We do every show like it’s our last show anyway.”
Subtly, Van Zandt was pushing the idea that the current tour was a must-see for fans who have put off purchasing tickets. While Springsteen and the E Street Band have sold more than 2 million tickets this year, shows have not sold out as quickly as in the past. Currently, 17 shows–among them the five final concerts at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ–have tickets available. Two shows at Madison Square Garden go on sale Friday (9/18); concerts in Washington, DC, and Baltimore go on sale Sept. 25.
One of the highlights of the current tour has been a “stump the band” segment in which the band plays a cover. Fans submit requests by making signs that Springsteen collects and sorts through onstage.
So far, the band has not been stumped.
“We may mess the song up a bit,” Van Zandt says. “We’re kind of familiar with all these crazy songs. We may do something a bit unusual from time to time. Nothing too obscure, too schlocky. Honestly, I can say we have not had that train wreck yet. I’m knocking on wood.”
