"A very interesting day at Convention Hall in Asbury Park today. A unique song was rehearsed, it was a good day for autographs and fans got to watch Bruce do a photo shoot with a classic car for Rolling Stone.
Songs rehearsed today were:
1. Thundercrack
2. Seaside Bar Song
3. Radio Nowhere
4. You'll Be Comin' Down
5. Lonesome Day
6. Gypsy Biker
7. Last to Die
8. Devil's Arcade
9. Livin' In the Future
10. Last to Die (again)
11. Long Walk Home
12. American Land
Yes, a Seeger Sessions song by the E Street Band! Max, Clarence, Steven, Soozie and Garry all stopped today to sign autographs. There weren't that many people around, 20 at the most. Steven was talking about the Emmys and how he and the cast of The Sopranos was so happy that David Chase won a wrting Emmy for the Sopranos, as he wrote the final episode. They had a beautiful 1960s Blue SS Chevy Camaro out by Convention Hall today and I had a feeling they would be doing a photo shoot. The car was pulled onto the boardwalk on the north side of Convention Hall about 3 p.m. and about 15 mintues Bruce came out to pose for pictures by the car and on the boardwalk. There was a large group of people around, maybe 60 or so, but they were very cooperative and stood back as Bruce posed for all types of photos around the car. The photographer was from Rolling Stone and I believe Bruce will be on the cover of a future Rolling Stone issue. They then took shots of Bruce on the boardwalk standing by the rail with the ocean behind him. They also took pictures of Bruce by the building just north of Convention Hall, the old pavillion that's now painted all white. The Camaro was then pulled up the ramp to the side of Convention Hall and Bruce posed for more pictures for the photographer on the hood of the car and in front of the car. I'm sure pictures of the photo shoot will be posted on the Internet shortly. There were a lot of fans around with cameras taking pictures. It was very interesting to see Bruce pose for the photos and how the photographers set the shots up. I had to leave before Bruce departed, so I don't know if he stopped for autographs or anything.

well shiver me timbers that gives me a little chill!
I think it would be way cool if Thundercrack and Seaside Bar song and stuff like that were staples in the set alongside the Magic material
Amen, brotha!
I wonder how American Land sounds with the E-Street Band wall of sound.
Does any think that the 1-2-3 punch of Radio Nowhere/You'll Be Coming Down/Lonesome Day become the setlist opener on tour?
I definitely think that'll be the set opener. I was at the rehearsal(well, OUTSIDE the rehearsal) last Friday, and part of it included practicing how each song would lead into the next. Yup, that's what I'm expecting.
You'll be coming down as the 2nd song? Hmmmm.... not sure I approve of that 2nd slot. Who do I write to in order to get that changed?
