Although the bands are all gone and the venue lights are out, the buzz about Bruce Springsteen’s keynote speech at this year’s South By Southwest (SXSW) conference is still humming.
‘The Boss’ reaffirmed every bit of that moniker with an address that many audience members exclaimed was the greatest keynote they’d ever seen. He was at once philosophical, humorous, humble, awestruck (especially when he talked about his encounter with James Brown), and downright professorial, as he spoke about the history and his love of music, drawing direct comparisons and parallels with his own musical career and the influences on it.
Naturally, he used the music itself to be the exclamation of his points. In one instance, he explained how the music of the Animals infused his own Darkness On The Edge Of Town. “Youngsters watch this one,” he said, playing a riff from “Don’t Let Be Misunderstood,” then immediately following with “Badlands.” “It’s the same fucking riff, man.”
The bottom line of his talk was a string of contradictions that he encouraged every would be, current and long-time rocker embrace, but they all ultimately culminate in a shared love of music - in all its forms - so aptly on display in sheer numbers at SXSW.
You can view his keynote in it’s entirety here. It’s lengthy, but worth every minute.

Bruce Springsteen’s plans for 2012 are shaping up with headline appearances at a major U.S. music festival and a European summer tour.
The annual South By Southwest Music and Media Conference and Festival (the mouthful of a festival better known as SXSW) has scored Bruce Springsteen to be their keynote speaker on March 15 at the Austin Convention Center.
The Boss is also kicking off a European tour on May 18 at the Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys in Barcelona that wraps up on July 28 at the Ullevi in Gothenberg. Additional Bruce Springsteen tickets are available for May 30 in Berlin, June 7 in Milan, July 4-5 in Paris, July 12 in Vienna and July 17-18 in Dublin.
This will be the first tour since the June 2011 passing of Bruce Springsteen’s longtime band mate Clarence “Big Man” Clemens passed away from complications from a stroke. No official word has been released of who will replace the saxophonist in the E Street Band. But more news on U.S. tour dates coming soon!

The details are skimpy, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that Bruce Springsteen will be touring in 2012!
The good news was reported on The Boss’ official website in a vague statement, “A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.”
All initial dates are in England, but Springsteen fans are a patient bunch. They will temper the wait with the knowledge that new music is also on the horizon. The album is still untitled, and no release date is mentioned, but the band is “excited about everything that we’re planning for 2012.”
This will be the first tour without longtime E Street Band saxman Clarence Clemons, who died in June from complications after a stroke. It must be a bittersweet thought for Bruce and the band, but the show must go on. I can’t imagine Clemons wanting it any other way.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band have officially moved into the 21st century by streaming live versions of songs from The Promise on the internet for all their fans.

After the show, several internet sites (see below for full list) started streaming four songs from the album: The title track, “Blue Christmas,” “Racing In The Street,” “Gotta Get That Feeling” and “Ain’t Good Enough For You.”

After an exhaustive year of touring that started off with an inauguration hail to the chief for President Obama and a Super Bowl half-time show, Springsteen is finishing things off with several Grammy nominations.
The Boss snagged four nods in the following categories:
Best Rock Song - “Working on a Dream”
Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance - “Working on a Dream”
Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media - “The Wrestler” (from the movie of the same name)
Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals - “Sea Of Heartbreak” with Rosanne Cash
Springsteen and company have a good chance at winning despite facing stiff competition in the rock categories from U2, Kings of Leon and Green Day.
Springsteen & the E Street Band have just finished up their ‘Working on a Dream’ tour promoting the Grammy-worthy album of the same name.
The 52nd Grammy Awards air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 31, 2010, at 8pm (EST) on CBS.

The three hour set, in which Springsteen played many songs, included “Working on a Dream,” “Darlington County” and “Jersey Girl” by Tom Waits. The concert was the 24th since Bruce Springsteen initially played there in 1985.
Springsteen is still on tour throughout late November.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off the American leg of their U.S. tour in Hartford, Conn., with a sweaty, sweaty night of fun.
After 28 songs in three hours, Springsteen proved that he is still able to rock the U.S. – in the past, shows in America have seemed a little sedated compared to European shows, as European fans eat him up every time he comes to town.
Fortunately for old-school Springsteen fans, there was a great mix of classic hits and new songs – and this much fun can be expected through the rest of the tour!

Springsteen and the E Street Band will apparently be making a pitstop at the United Center in Chicago September 20th to play his 1975 album Born To Run in its entirety.
The news was reported in the Chicago Sun-Times, but has yet to be officially confirmed by anyone in the Springsteen camp. Nevertheless, the idea is thrilling for fans, since the album has been played from start to finish only once before in May 2008.
Other Springsteen tour news: 2 more dates have been added to play shows at The Spectrum in Philly before the venue is demolished - October 19th and 20th.
