Also, es wird defintiv nächstes Jahr eine E-Street-Band-Tour geben , wie Landau gestern der NY-Times verriet:
„Bruce Springsteen will begin a solo acoustic tour April 25 in Detroit, in support of his upcoming Columbia album, „Devils & Dust.“ The first North American leg of the tour will play 2,500- to 5,000-seat theaters and theater configurations in arenas through May 20 in Boston, to be followed by a European run that begins May 24 in Dublin. The Boss will finish in Europe on June 25 in Stockholm, with more North American dates likely. „Our hope is that sometime by the fall we will come back to the U.S. and make some additional appearances in our biggest Bruce markets,“ longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau tells the New York Times.
Initially, the plan is to quickly showcase the new album, due April 26. „Bruce has a beautiful new CD that we’re very excited about and we want to get out and show the colors right off, touching base with as many cities as we can conveniently do,“ Landau reports. On that outing, he played only acoustic guitar and harmonica; this time around, Springsteen will also play some piano, Landau says.Bruce is rehearsing the show right now, creating a very specific perspective for it,“ Landau says. „As is always the case with Bruce, the set will evolve right up until the last show.“ Tickets for some shows go on sale this weekend.
Landau says the new album „has a combination of rock music and acoustic music, but as a body of work we thought that the intimacy of the solo show wound up best serving the CD as a whole. The full rock version of some of the new songs is sure to be part of the next E Street Band tour.“
