Something to do with HBO trying to pull all this stuff from youtube. I guess they hope to have the DVDs is the shops by the weekend.

I defy anyone to do anything other that feel great after watching that.

While it is many years since I have seen him live, I have never fallen out of love with his authenticity and genuine joy for his art. More recently I have really enjoyed the acoustic stuff he has been doing, with Pete Seeger and other folk/ bluegrass artistes in the US. The BBC sessions were really great, I thought. And I have long loved the work of Pete Seeger (and the other Seegers), and also Woody Guthrie. So this inauguration combo is a gem as far as I am concerned!

We managed to watch MaryG's link - thank you ladies! He's not bad for an auld fla GG

Happy to help, Ags!

It is a great 'cheer-me-up' clip worth saving, or adding to youtube favourites. That said, HBO will track it down, I am sure....

Listening to it as I type! Very good ...

It was great listening Mary G - who else could write a song about a supermarket checkout girl that would sound fabulous!! Looking forward to Monday to hearing all the tunes in full

Just having our first listen to "working on a dream"

Hey, wait a minute, I thought it was out tomorrow??????

A bit late I know but Bruce and the Seeger sessions are on BBC4 right now......hope somebody catches this - bit different from his normal but truly fantastic

Ags, I just LOVED the Seeger sessions. Now, this new album, maybe I need to hear it more but I'm a tad disappointed so far. I'm shocked that I'm even saying that but unlike the others, this didn't capture me right away.
Saying that, I heard today there's going to be a Working on a Dream World Tour beginning this Spring!

Where????????? When????????? The auld fla in this house is 50 this year and seeing the great man would just make his birthday....for once I don't care if he doesn't play Scotland it's a good excuse for a few days away!!
keep us posted please GG!
I quite like the sound of some of the tunes on the album though not had a chance to listen in depth yet!!
Seeger sessions was my first experience of "LIVE SPRINGSTEEN". I loved it and loved the show tonight too!
Imagine being at an intimate gig like that.......

Ags, I cannot believe it - no wonder I'm greeting here! The World Tour itinerary was released today and NO England visit never mind Scotland. Dublin is included though!
Let's hope he's still negotiating with the UK

I'm going out tonight and in my New Year drive to get fitter, I said I wouldn't be drinking but this calls to get blootered!

There seems to be a 3-week gap from 10th June onwards. Maybe that just a break from the tour. Equally there is potentially time for 1 gig in UK if you look at the gap between Dublin and his next gig in France.

Would still prefer to see him at an Arena! Mary G - do you think there's time for another Playhouse gig in between

Thanks for the links guys...off to check it out right now - though not sure why i'm bothering! I can't even book tickets for Mary Poppins today never mind the great man

Mary Poppins?
