Report on the Recent Springsteen Taping in Asbury Park

Here is a nice overview of Springsteen’s recent video shoot at the Casino in Asbury Park.

A snippet:

Today, Bruce used the 1978 version of the E Street Band, as Nils Lofgren, Soozie Tyrell and Patti Scialfa were not present.
Longtime Jackson Browne sidekick David Lindley was there. 

Lindley played on a couple of songs from “The Promise.”
The various members of the E Street Band arrived one-by-one, with Clarence Clemons coming in his usual stretch limo.
Bruce was the last to arrive, at 1:10 p.m.

As he exited his SUV, he came over to where the fans were standing and went down the line and said hello to everyone and shook hands.

He did sign one autograph at the end.

A long sound-check then started. It ended at 4 p.m.

Among the songs played:
1. Racing In the Street (the 1978 version from The Promise)
2. Come on (Let’s Go Tonight)
3. Gotta Get That Feeling
4. One Way Street
5. Outside Looking In
6. The Brokenhearted
7. Candy’s Boy
8. Save My Love
9. Ain’t Good Enough For you
10. Talk to Me
We could hear Bruce goofing around during the middle of the song.
11. Blue Christmas
12. The Promise
