San Siro Magic from the Man they call the Boss

The setting is iconic, the performer an icon. Over 70,000 mainly Italian fans paid homage to Bruce Springsteen here in Milan. The crowd is undoubtedly the wildest so far on tour, and its one of the best shows of a very consistent tour. Summertime Blues opens procedings, but a classic beautiful performance of Darkness classic 'Racing in the Street' is the highlight of an exhilarating performance, and a memorable evening.........one of the best!!

Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to Tim Russert

Tim Russert, the american television journalist and lawyer has sadly passed away at the age of 58, for 16 years he fronted the NBC's Meet the Press, and was a life time fan and friend of Bruce Springsteen.

Born in Buffalo New York in 1950, he studied at John Carrol University, and the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, whilst at College he booked the then young Bruce Springsteen for 2,5oo dollars, which helped fund his education.

During his career he was awareded 48 honoury doctorates, a shed load of awards. Further tributes have been paid by Presedential Candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama.

Bruce Springsteen prior to Thunder Road in Cardiff paid this tribute

I'd like to do this tonight for a long time friend of the E Street Band who passed away suddenly."Tim Russert was an important unreplacable voice in American journalism. I watched him hold our politicians feet to the fire on many Sunday mornings. He was always a strong voice for honesty and accountability in American government .. but beyond that he was a lovely presence, a good father, husband, and good guy. He was a regular at many E Street Band shows and I'm going to miss looking down and seeing that big smiling face in the crowd."We send this out all the way back to the states tonight for his son Luke, his wife Maureen, his dad Big Russ , and all the Russert family."Tim , God Bless You, We will miss you..."

The most amazing thing about the night was that, even at the age of 58, Springsteen’s energy was limitless. And, as his breathtaking three-hour set came to a close, his final shout of “goodnight Wales, we will be back” sent everyone home with a smile on their face.

Grab your suitcase and your ticket...........Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band ready to conquer Europe

33 years after leaving the United States for the first time, the worlds greatest rock performer in tow with the worlds greatest ever rock band, will set out this week on a 23 date European Tour.

The 7th tour of Europe follows on from visits in 1975, 1981, 1985, 1988, 1999, 2002/2003, and comes in support of Springsteen's latest studio album released in October of 2007 called Magic.

At 57 years of age, and with one of rock music's best loved bands to boot, Bruce Springsteen remains the greatest rock star of his, or perhaps any other generation, and the social commentator extraordinaire for his country, he continues to reach just that little higher, and aim higher than all of his contempories, and at a time when popular music and indeed popular culture appears to last all of 5 minutes, and is all together disposable, its time again for perhaps the last great american hero to remind us of the joy, and the healing power, that just one night in this man's company can bring.
