Jeff, Dan and Mike gather in the cafe to chat about the new film - 'Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band'. Rosalita serves up a Canadian themed menu to celebrate the Boss's leg of the tour into the far reaches of North America.
Jeff was recently asked to host a Nebraska evening recently at his beloved CAT Club - that is an acronym for Classic Album Thursdays, by the way! Join us for a 'deep dive' into a discussion about all things Bruce and Nebraska.
Furthermore, our good friend Robert Vincent, joins the evening to play his own special version of the title track.
Jeff is joined on stage by Jason Barnard from the Strange Brew Podcast and takes us on a walk through the build up, the making of and the release of this legendary classic album.
This podcast is a Geezers in Glasses, Strange Brew and CAT Club podcast production.
It's the day of the Boss's 75th birthday (well it was when we recorded this!), and to celebrate, we have birthday cake and a bit of a quiz. What will happen when Mikipedia takes on our very own Dan French? The stakes are high. Reputations can be won and lost instantly. Who will be 'pulling out of here to win'?
Play along with us and see how you do!
The River Tour in Europe in 1981 was legendary. Our good friend Jim Page drops into the cafe for a face to face coffee chat with Jeff to recall the shenanigans which led to them meeting Bruce and the band.
Join us in the cafe for an end of tour review from the European leg. Rosie has ensured that we have the latest ice cream delights in stock as Jeff, Dan and Mike chat through their own personal insights into the Nordic and London shows.
We also read out a few of the listener comments too. Enjoy...
Robert has co-written a song with Garry Tallent at a songwriters retreat. He has been described as 'the Scouse Springsteen' by Q Magazine. The legendary Bob Harris is a big fan of this award-winning singer-songwriter from Liverpool. AND ..... his new album Barriers is riding high in the charts alongside Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Luke Combs.
We record this episode live in the cafe with the help of Rosalita's home made chocolate cookies. For more information, check out https://robertvincentmusic.com
Who'll stop the rain? Not even Bruce had the super powers to stop the wet weather in Sunderland. North of England in May will more than likely need a poncho in your rucksack.
Jeff, Dan and Jim brave the challenging conditions to witness a 3 hour set from Bruce and the E Street Band. We manage to get some 'in the pit' conversations from a few people as well. We also name-drop a few of our listeners too as we read out your views of the Stadium of Light gig.
Once we had dried out, we meet up the morning after the night before to discuss the gig. Sit back, pour a drink and enjoy.
Roll down the windows and let the wind blow back your hair as Jeff, Mike and the cafe staff entertain you with insights into the first two European shows.
Mike tries to outfox Rosie with a left field order, but he ends up being outwitted himself by a not so nimble Weak Knees Willie!
Our listeners may be more familiar with Wesley Stace as John Wesley Harding. That guy who has been responsible for several great Bruce covers and some guest appearances with The Boss. Wesley can be often seen curating his own live show with a mixture of performing artists. One day - he hopes he can persuade Bruce to make another surprise appearance.
Tune in and listen to some brilliant tales about him and Bruce hanging out whilst we share some of his great music. For more information please visit www.wesleystace.com
Frankfurt 1981 - the River Tour. 43 years ago this week. Our own Dan French gets an invite he can't refuse. 'Meet me in Frankfurt - I have a ticket for you' says a fellow fan. What happens next? Let's just say you couldn't make it up.
No more spoilers, but let's just say that this story is legendary in E Street fan circles and we have finally persuaded Dan to recount those amazing few days.
Jeff and Dan also conduct an E Street Shuffle for each other in between the refreshments provided by Rosalita and the E Street Cafe podcast team.
