Oct 30 -- Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Concert

Bruce Springsteen returns for the second night and joins U2 on I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and Because The Night, also featuring Patti Smith.

As much as I think the Rock & Roll Of Fame is irrelevant, I must say they did a pretty good job in bringing together many legendary artists: Jerry Lee Lewis, Crosby, Stills & Nash, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Billy Joel, Jeff Beck, John Fogerty, Metallica, Lou Reed, Ozzy Osbourne, Ray Davies, Aretha Franklin, and the biggest of them all, Mick Jagger. Can't wait for the 4hr HBO broadcast!!

The Pearl Jam/Bruce Springsteen connection

It's no surprise that Eddie Vedder has a great respect for Bruce and vice versa, despite both of them making very different kinds of music. It also won't be a surprise if Bruce decides to show up at Pearl Jam's final Spectrum show in Philly this Halloween to guest on a few songs. There has been rumors going around about this ever since PJ started their Spectrum run a few days ago. Other rumored special guests include Neil Young and even Jon Bon Jovi (I could do without him). Not only that, there's also a chance that the band may even play till 2am for their final show. If it's true, it'll be their longest concert ever, probably clocking in almost 5 fucking hours!!! But hey, it could actually happen; after all Eddie did say they'll try to play every song they know. That's really good news for us PJ fans (and Springsteen fans), because we'll eventually be able to own a pristine recording of that soon-to-be legendary show.

On other related matters, Bruce and the E Street Band will still carry on headlining tomorrow's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Anniversary concerts at Madison Square Garden, despite that terrible tragedy earlier this week. It's also kinda ironic that the E Street Band isn't inducted into the Rock Hall yet, thanks to some stupid bullshit rules. Clarence Clemons said in a radio interview that he's not looking forward to playing there. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the performance will turn out.

Death In The Family

The Kansas City show tonight had to be canceled, due to a sudden death in Bruce's immediate family. It was reported from official sources that Lenny Sullivan, Bruce's cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last ten years, passed away today at the age of 36. May our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
