Actually sometimes it makes sence to have some Bruce and some Bruce & ESB. Take the Live 1975/85 3 disc set. I feel this is just at much ESB as Bruce. Ill keep my Bruce & ESB label at least on the live stuff.. It just feels right, and the cover clearly states that it is Bruce & ESB...

Yeah, I changed mine too to "Bruce Springsteen". Same thing is with Tom Petty - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, John Mayall - John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Stevie Ray Vaughan - Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, George Thorogood - George Thorogood & The Destroyers. They're quite equal here...

It seems there is some artist discussion. I just put all of my Bruce as Bruce Springsteen. We all know that the ESB are on most of this work, but simply having Bruce Springsteen makes it so much easier especially since most albums have the artist as Bruce.

Actually The E Street Band has co-written and played in almost every Bruce Springsteen album except 1988-1999 period albums (1992: Human Touch & Lucky Town, 1995: The Ghost of Tom Joad + 2005: Devils & Dust, 2006; We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions) and in even those albums few members of 'TheEStreetBand' have participated in music.

Bruce Springsteen: Your 2009 Super Bowl halftime entertainer. I wish I could say that Bruce Springsteen is bigger than the Super Bowl, that he should have better things to do than play a hasty 12-minute medley of his hits, as a sideshow to a sporting event, for an audience that didn't show up just to see him. But the truth is, he's not, and after the likes of the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tom Petty, U2, and others have paved the way, there's no way Springsteen can say he's above performing at this winter's Superbowl halftime show. Besides, according to the NFL, which confirmed on Sunday night the long-standing rumor that Springsteenwill the 2009 half time performer, some 148 million Americans watched last year's halftime mini-show. Who could turn down an opportunity to play for an audience that big, even for just 12 minutes? And which 12 minutes of music should he use to summarize his 36-year recording career? www.foryoubruce.com

For Youis an epic visual storytelling time machine that encourages you to hop on for a ride down thunderous roads to simpler times for a journey through the heart of darkness where the fans feel so close and intimately personal with Springsteen like he's an old college buddy. This book is not just a fine addition to your collection, but is essential for any Springsteen fan. It is a treasure trove of pictures and stories that will not just take you for a ride down memory lane, but will leave you with an impenetrable sense of hope much the same way you feel cruising down the highway and having 'Thunder Road' blast from your speakers with the wind in your hair. When was the last time the written word did that?" www.foryoubruce.com

LOS SEGUIDORES DEL CANTANTE CUENTAN SUS EXPERIENCIAS 'For you' y los legendarios fans de Springsteen * El libro, del fotógrafo Lawrence Kirsch, ofrece testimonios de cientos de seguidores 21/05/2008 10:15 (CET) JULIO VALDEÓN BLANCO NUEVA YORK.- Lawrence Kirsch, fotógrafo canadiense, mordió la fruta prohibida a finales de 1975, cuando compró dos entradas para ver a Bruce Springsteen y la E Street Band en el Place des Arts de Montreal. Cuestionado al respecto, aclara: "En el 75 yo no era un gran fan de Springsteen, me tiraban más Bob Dylan, David Bowie o los Rolling Stones. Aquella noche, cuando apagaron las luces, olvidé todo e inicié mi viaje con Bruce y con Roy Bittan (pianista de la E Street). Arrancaron con una versión acústica de 'Thunder road'. Nunca había sido testigo de una apertura de concierto tan sencilla y, sin embargo, tan efectiva y apasionada. Bruce cantaba con tanta convicción que parecía revivir sus temas. El concierto duró tres horas, mucho más que cualquiera que yo hubiera visto antes, y al final la audiencia estaba exhausta. Abandonamos el teatro sabiendo que habíamos visto algo especial". Treinta y tres años, y 60 conciertos de Springsteen más tarde, Kirsch publica (mejor reedita: la primera edición, limitadísima, se agotó hace meses, al poco de salir) 'For you'. Ofrece testimonios de cientos de seguidores del de Nueva Jersey contados en primera persona. Sus vivencias alumbran toda una épica. Van de la anécdota descacharrante al bosquejo de una vida enroscada en torno a la música. Demiurgo, socio, compañero y maestro, Springsteen proyecta entre sus seguidores una imagen atípica. Trasciende su papel asignado (megaestrella) y se transforma en algo más, tal vez el buen pastor que consuela sin arengar, cronista implacable del sueño americano y sus desvelos. Convocados por Kirsch para enviar textos y fotografías, los seguidores respondieron con entusiasmo. Había que documentar décadas de conciertos masivos y secretos, de los estadios de fútbol a los bares donde a veces, muchas, Springsteen rocanrolea hasta la madrugada. También era necesario explicar por qué se trata de uno de los dos o tres artistas más pirateados de la historia y las decenas de miles de entradas que registran páginas web como 'Backstreets' (desde 1980, documentando los pasos de Springsteen, primero como fanzine y más tarde como web), contar, como hace Kirsch, porque "Springsteen nos da esperanza. Si se limitara a entretenernos, sería estupendo. Pero hace más, ha contribuido a nuestra educación, nos pide mantener la mente abierta y receptiva hacia los problemas sociales y (desde 2004) la situación política de los Estados Unidos. Algunos fans no están de acuerdo con este último aspecto, pero es su problema". Sugestión y mordisco Kirsch, él mismo uno de tantos 'tramps' (vagabundos, por 'Born to run') que planean sus vacaciones con la idea de ver tantos conciertos de Springsteen como sea posible, apostó todo en 'For you', dispuesto a colocar el espejo en el lado contrario. Quienes quieran conocer las causas del hechizo deben saber que Springsteen rara vez decepciona en vivo. Sus conciertos sugestionan y muerden a partes iguales. Aparte la duración (maratoniana, pero sin llegar a los sobrehumanos excesos de los viejos tiempos: al cabo Springsteen tiene 59 años), destaca la perenne sensación de sorpresa. Sirva como ejemplo que durante la segunda parte de la gira americana de 'Magic' (que ahora desembarca en Europa), Springsteen ha llegado a cambiar más de 10 canciones entre un concierto y el siguiente, tocado temas nunca antes escuchados en directo (caso de 'None but the brave', una de tantas joyas descartadas durante las sesiones del 'Born in the USA', sólo escuchada en vivo durante unos conciertos navideños en 2003). Arrancas 'For you' inquieto, fascinado con sus fotografías y, sí, temeroso por la perspectiva de un aluvión de cartas del tipo Bruce salvó mi vida y 'blablablá' Ha invitado a Arcade Fire, Connor Oberst ('Bright Eyes'), Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Ely, Tom Morello ('Rage Against the Machine') o Roger McGuinn a acompañarlo en distintas ciudades y versioneado temas ajenos (por ejemplo, 'I´ll fly away', clásico gospel que Springsteen y la E Street Band tocaron como homenaje a Danny Federici, miembro fundador y legendario teclista del grupo fallecido el pasado abril). Arrancas 'For you' inquieto, fascinado con sus fotografías y, sí, temeroso por la perspectiva de un aluvión de cartas del tipo Bruce salvó mi vida y 'blablablá', y vale, bueno, algunos mensajes turban por ingenuos, pero en el cómputo final pesan infinitamente más las increíbles historias de gente corriente y los nudos que el mejor arte sugiere, haciendo de la ecuación música/biografía fascinante sucesión de lágrimas, risas, polvo y sudor, besos y estrellas, que viaja de lo divertido a lo mágico sin derrapar en el misticismo barato. 'For you', al cabo, termina por ser un canto de amor, pero no el previsto desde la trinchera cínica. Gozoso, vibrante, lírico y poético, demuestra que si bien "lo más difícil es conservar tu idealismo tras perder la inocencia" (Springsteen dixit), siempre nos quedará la música (nuestro París de Fenders). Antes de concluir la entrevista, Kirsch avisa a los fans españoles con entrada para los conciertos de junio: "Verán a unos Bruce Springsteen y la E Street Band más decididos que nunca a mostrar lo que hay. Es su única oportunidad para volarte la cabeza. Sin retiradas, segundas oportunidades o mañanas. Con la reciente muerte de Danny Federici el grupo está repasando su historia personal e, incluso, su propia mortalidad... Ve esta gira todo lo que puedas, creo que será la última de la E Street Band".

Of all the great armies of rock fans, few can match the devotion of Bruce Springsteen's. For them it's not just catching just one show-it's about catching them all. Anyone who has experienced Springsteen in concert will testify that the bond between audience and artist transcends the usual adulation. Something magical, almost mystical happens. Some might describe it as spiritual-most definitely it is life affirming. It is in trying to nail this phenomenon that the beautiful hardbound For You has arrived. Edited by Lawrence Kirsch and replete with an amazing welter of outstanding photographs, it's a mind-blowing collection of thoughts and stories from fans of every age and many nations, each explaining why Springsteen occupies such an important place in their hearts. Covering all four decades of Springsteen's career it is possibly the ultimate fanzine for it is the fans who have made the journey and whose words tell us as much about them as they do about Springsteen. The warmth and humanity that flows from every page is truly moving and provides a beacon of hope from which we can all draw strength in these hard times. Not a book to be read at one sitting but rather to revisit and enjoy over time. www.foryoubruce.com

pendletone is definitely correct. The Live in NYC and Live 1975/85 discs are both credited to Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band - as well as the Hammersmith (which iirc is important for R&R HOF selections) but a majority of my plays tagged this (almost 4500) are for live bootlegs...

In the first place it's Bruce. That's what's written on the covers of the regular studio albums. I think many poeple like myself also listen to boots which are given the correct tag Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Why not leave it at that? That's how we are able to separate the studio and live stuff. Taking a glance at profiles I like noticing somebody listening to a boot - that's the tie

Hi gaz, not that I don't like Bruce and the band live best myself, but if you're listening to the studio tracks on Live.fm, the trouble might be that some imposter has substituted his own covers for most of Bruce's Greatest Hits album, which totally annoys me when they turn up on the radio feature.

People wrongly ignore the E Street Band. I love the live stuff much more than I do the studio stuff, hence why Bruce with the band turn up higher in my charts than Bruce does by himself.

Bruce Springsteen is the appropriate tag for the studio albums. For live albums when the E Street Band is present, they are given credit as well.
