Bruce brings out the “Wrecking Ball” for Giants Stadium
The Boss and his E Street Band kicked off a 5 night run at Giants Stadium tonight – the final shows for the venue. In honor of the stadium’s impending doom, Bruce kicked off the evening with a new song – possibly & probably called “Wrecking Ball”.

Who is the trumpet guy? They aren’t preparing a substitute for Clarence, are they?

They have bootleg video of the whole song:

I’m Doing an “All Bruce Friday 5” in honor of this treat:
1. Prove it all night
2. Further on up the Road (W/the Sessions band live in Dublin) I love all this Session stuff!
3. Quarter to Three (live @ the Hammersmith Odeon…I’m seeing Chuck Berry here in November)
4. Zero & Blind Terry (one of my faves off Tracks)
5. My Love Will Not Let You Down (Live in NYC)…shit this is such a full-on track. Love it.
*Bonus Song (just because I am having too much fun with these tunes): John Henry (Seeger Session). “And Polly drove steel like a man, Lord! Lord!…”

Here is the answer to my own question: the trumpetist is Curt Ramm. He had taken part in the Seeger Sessions Band Tour (not in the album)

Thanks Puri – I just saw that on Backstreets recently and meant to update here… yes, Curt Ramm from the awesome Seeger Sessions Band. I’d LOVE to see the SSB tour again.
