Latest “Springsteen” rumors

Okay, so a short diversion from the PR old vs. new school debate to update folks on the latest Springsteen rumors.

The mill is abuzz with talk of Bruce performing on the mall on January 18th as part of Obamafest in DC.  No word on whether it’s just him with Patti and the guitar of a full-fledged E-Street extravaganza.

Then the latest from Backstreets.com has all Springsteen fans crazy with anticipation as shortly after the release of the new CD “Workin on a Dream” a short tour is planned.

But the most interesting tidbit is that Bruce is considering including full-live versions of classic albums as part of the dates.  He did this on the last tour at a fund raiser for a New Jersey theater where he and the band played the songs from “Born To Run” in order, took a break, and then played “Darkness” live.

For Springsteen fans hearing those “albums” live would be a true trip to “The Promised Land.”
