The Boss Brings it Home
The Seeger Sessions Band has landed safely on U.S. soil. In six short days, my wife and I will be lined up in triple digit heat waiting to enter the Glendale Arena to witness the experience firsthand. Last night was their first show in the U.S. since last month’s New Orleans Jazz Fest performance. Bruce and the Seeger Sessions Band hit the stage in Mansfield, Massachussetts. Peter Wolf joined in for the last couple of songs: “Dirty Water” and “Buffalo Gals”. The show went a little something like this:

Bruce
Pete,
this is absolutely brilliant! The sound quality is great (compared to the Hammersmith ones you posted), and the shear ‘fun’ of the musicians shines through so very much. It really brings back the memories of the two concerts I saw in St Paul at the start of the Born in the USA tour. Great stuff. Thanks for the tunes!

Thank you so much. This almost makes up for me not being able to get to the shows themselves.
Dave
Stunning.
This project has really given Bruce a kick in the pants. He sounds absolutely POSESSED!
Can’t wait for the show here in S.F. on Tuesday.
I’m crossing my fingers that it’s Neil Young and NOT Joan Baez (snore) that makes a cameo at the encore.
Thanks for this.
It’s special.
Pete
Bruce rocks. He again proves his class absolutely excellent caught a show on t.v unfortunately couldnt be there.
Long live the king.

Thanks for posting this live show… great stuff. Springsteen’s covers on this tour have really had a lot of great energy. I especially love the live version of Dirty Water with Peter Wolf, Is there any chance you have a complete version of this that isn’t cut off? Thanks, Gary

This is in response to Gary:
I was at the show in Mansfield, and Dirty Water segued directly into Buffalo Gals. Now, whether or not that’s exactly what we’ve got in these audio files I can’t say, because I haven’t finished getting them all yet. 😉
Pete
Gary- like Jonah said, Dirty Water segues right into Buffalo Gals, so though it sounds cut off when you listen to it by itself, just queue Buffalo Gals after it and it will flow like water, dirty dirty water… 🙂
