Bruce Springsteen Forum

Seit 2009 erlebten die Fans in der 300.000 Bürger zählenden Gemeinde acht Bruce Springsteen Konzerte. 2009 fand anlässlich der „Working on a Dream Tour“ eine Show in der mittlerweile abgerissenen „Mellon Arena“ statt.
2010 und 2011 performte der „Boss“ jeweils zwei Mal mit Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers in der „Soldiers & Sailor Memorial Hall“. Am Nachmittag des 27. Oktober 2012 machte sich Bruce Springsteen für Barack Obamas Wiederwahl in der örtlichen „Soldiers & Sailor Memorial Hall“ stark. Wenige Stunden später trat der 64jährige Künstler im „Consol Energy Center“ auf, um das 72. Konzert der „Wrecking Ball Tour“ zu spielen. Am 22. April 2014 folgte das bisher letzte Bruce Springsteen Konzert im „Consol Energy Center“.

PITTSBURGH, PA (December 4, 2015) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band launch The River Tour, a nine-week US trek, on Jan. 16 in Pittsburgh. The announcement of the tour coincides with today's release of "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection," a comprehensive look at the era of the 1980 "The River" album that "Rolling Stone" calls "Springsteen's best archival release yet."
Springsteen precedes the tour with a Dec. 19 performance on "Saturday Night Live," his third appearance on the NBC show.
The River Tour (#TheRiverTour) is the first for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band since the 2014 High Hopes Tour.
Each night of the tour will be mixed for release on Live.BruceSpringsteen.net as highquality downloads and CDs. Recordings will be available within days of each performance.
The original The River Tour began Oct. 3, 1980, two weeks before the release of Springsteen's fifth album, and continued through Sept. 4, 1981. With sets that regularly approached the fourhour range, the 140-date international tour firmly established a reputation for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as marathon performers.

vocals; Patti Scialfa – guitar, vocals; Garry Tallent – bass guitar; Stevie Van Zandt – guitar, vocals; and Max Weinberg – drums; with Soozie Tyrell – violin, guitar, vocals; Jake Clemons –saxophone; and Charlie Giordano – keyboards.
