The Bruce Springsteen & The Seeger Sessions Band gig at Wembley Arena, November 2006, has just been made available as a download on Bruce’s website. I was there, and can vouch for it being a fantastic night.

Yes @niallb was going to mention it. I seem to recall some Afterworders rated the gig very highly.
On the list of musicians for the Springsteen/Seeger Sessions Band gig in London, it says that guitar and vocals are played by someone called “Frank Bruno”.
Erm … it couldn’t be, could it?

Did they cover Sham 69’s Hurry Up Harry?
No, but they did do Springsteen’s “My Gloves Will Not Let You Down”….
‘Tenth Round Knockout’?
Bruce used to be introduced as “pound for pound” the finest live performer on the planet.
FWIIW, Bruce Springsteen is the best live act I have ever seen.
Agree
Me too and judging from comments from Nils there is a band album nearly complete.
Tour in 2021?
There was almost an announcement of an album and tour this year, but that was shelved before the pandemic happened. 2021 is beginning to look pretty optimistic for large scale touring so we will see.
Nice interview with David Sancious, ex E Streeter, online in Rolling Stone. As a go to musician for many a top name over the years, he reckons very little big tour action for anyone next year.
He’s very good. Rory Gallagher and Southside Johnny were/are as good.
Seen Southside twice, first time at Hammersmith Odeon (86?) was great second time in New York (2010) was not as good, no voice left.
True, last time I saw him his voice was shot. Saw him lots of times in his prime and always was brilliant.
Possibly the best live performer, ongoing night after night but I wouldn’t list Bruce as the best show I have ever seen.
So?
Definitely the best live performer I’ve ever seen.
Went to the Manchester gig at the MEN Arena on the Seeger Sessions tour.
