The usually not-so-reliable New York Post published last Monday in its ‘Page Six’ section that Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band might be the band choosed to play at the SuperBowl in Tampa on Feb.1st 2009.
Truth or rumour? We would think rumour, but the always-reliable Backstreets.com reports this might be true and would match with the rumours that a new album is almost ready and would be released in early 2009 followed by a short 4-month tour.
The new album would contain songs recorded with Brendan O’Brien during the Magic sessions and in different recording sessions during 2008. Some songs would feature Danny Federici on keyboards. The reason for the short tour would be Max Weinberg’s commitments with Conan O’Brien, who will be the new host for The Tonight Show, starting June 1st. Conan will take Jay Leno’s place.
No news yet on the long rumoured, and long awaited and desired box set to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the release of Darkness on the Edge of Town. Cross your fingers for a Xmas release, but it seems as of today this has not been decided nor work completed on this set.
