Still, they got the essential Springsteen message across - that we just might get through these hard times together, if we continue to believe in an America where, as "Land of Hope and Dreams" puts it, "dreams will not be thwarted" and "faith will be rewarded."

But with James Brown gone, Bruce wants to be crowned the hardest-working man in show business. The calluses on his throat, bruises on his knees and his sweat-drenched front row prove he’s leading contender for the title. Maybe not president, but rock ’n’ roll’s Mr. Dynamite for sure.

Live from Los Angeles California

A return to a sacred venue and solid Boss territory, the WOAD tour has continued with back to back shows from the LA Sports Arena, probably most famous for Springsteen's legendary August 1981 performance for the Vietnam Veterans. The shows contain a wide range of cover versions, but perhaps the second night cover of John Fogerty's (Creedance Clearwater Revival) Proud Mary is the standout. The second night see's a guest appearance from Mike Ness

To be sure, Springsteen and company provided plenty of deeply felt music Wednesday, but he delivered something more earthbound: a much-needed message of optimism to counter the daily doses of grim news bombarding us.

If Obama decides the time is right for an inspiration czar, Springsteen would be the logical person to step up and proclaim, "I'm your man."

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band open Tour in San Jose

The Working on a Dream tour has opened at the HP Pavillion Center San Jose, with a set list featuring 6 titles from the recently released album of the same name. A 26 song set list clocks in at just under 2 hours 40 minutes, a long set by recent opening night/early tour performances of previous years.

The set is populated by 2 cover versions 'Good Rocking Tonight', and Hard Times (Come Again No More.) The main set opens with the classic 'Badlands and closes with 'Born to Run', 2 of the landmark songs in Springsteen's near 40 years as a recording artist. Clearly not content to dismiss the issues of the day, a strong 3pack of Seeds/Johnny 99 and The Ghost of Tom Joad, focus matters on the everyday struggle as recession bites globally.

Miami Steve Hints at tour extension

With the start of the Working on A Dream world tour just hours away, E Street Band member Steve Van Zandt has hinted at further dates, after the run of European Shows ends in August. In an Interview for Billboard, Little Steven is reported as saying "I would think there's a bit more than that. I gotta believe we're gonna (tour) until at least Thanksgiving or Christmas, somehow, somewhere. I hope so. I hope we take a month off and then go back out."

Also there is no problems expected in the absence of Max Weinberg. Van Zandt goes on,"I think it's gonna be fine," said Van Zandt, who produced the new album by Norway's the Cocktail Slippers, "St. Valentine's Day Massacre," due out April 28. "And knowing Max, he's not going to miss much... Conan has been absolutely terrific about this...I don't think we thank him often enough. Max is a big part of that show, and for (O'Brien) to just say, 'Go whenever you feel like it,' I mean, Jesus, how nice. So we'll see."

Second Rehearsal Show in Asbury Park

The second rehearsal show has taken place at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park.

A suprise opening for 'Badlands' and a tough 4 pack of Seeds/Johnny 99/Ghost of Tom Joad/Good Eye, give an indication that the show will not be all 'sweetness and light' and that there will be reference to issues of the day.

Jay Weinberg to make E Street Debut

Jay Weinberg the 19 year old son, has been confirmed as the 'stand in' drummer for his father Max Weinberg on a small number of shows on the Working on a Dream Tour. These shows are likely to be as part of the European Leg, as Max's committment to the Late Night with Conan O' Brien is not expected to start until the 1st of June.

Springsteen has released the following statement

''In response to the many questions concerning the upcoming tour, the drummer on the small number of shows that Max Weinberg won't be able to appear at will be a brilliant young drummer from New Jersey named Jay Weinberg. Commenting on the situation, Bruce said: "Once again, I want to express my appreciation to Conan O'Brian, and everyone on his team, for making it possible for Max to continue to do double duty for both us and for him. We promise to return him in one piece."

Springsteen to celebrate Pete Seeger at 90.

Bruce Springsteen is expected to be part of a special tribute to Folk Legend Pete Seeger who turns 90 years young in May. Fellow legendary performers will include Steve Earle, John Mellancamp, Eddie Vedder, and Emmylou Harris. The show will take place at the Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 3rd.

Sporingsteen and Seeger have performed before, most recently at the Inaugaration Celebrations for new US President Barack Obama. Seeger of course provided much of the inspiration and influence for the Folk Album released by Springsteen in 2005, 'We Shall Overcome.. The Seeger Sessions'.

"From Asbury Park to the Promised Land'' The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen.

A new Springsteen exhibition will open at the Cleveland'S Rock and Roll Hall of fame will open on April 1st.

The exhibition will feature a number of donated items from Springsteen, including the 4 track recorder, which Bruce used to record the first of his critically acclaimed acoustic albums Nebraska in 1982. As well as this fascinating piece of machinery, fans can take a closer look at some of the clothes Bruce wore on stage, as well as a wide range of guitars.
