Bruce Springsteen plays two rare songs in Tampa
by Stan Goldstein
Sunday September 13, 2009, 12:15 AM

Bruce Springsteen played two songs that he doesn't do very often, "All or Nothing At All" and "Jole Blon" at his show at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa, Fla. on Saturday night.

"All or Nothing at All" is off of the Human Touch album in 1992.
It was last played by Bruce with the "other" band on Aug. 29, 1992 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia
Bruce did soundcheck the song before his show in Hartford on Aug. 19 and last night was the first time he has ever played the song with the E Street Band.
"Jole Blon" is a cover which Bruce played frequently with the E Street Band during The River Tour in 1981. He also played it with the "other" band (and special guest Terence Trent D'Arby) at a benefit show at Madison Square Garden on June 26, 1993.
The song was recorded by Gary U.S. Bonds on his 1981 Dedication album and Bruce has played it with him several times over the years.
"Point Blank" was also played for only the third time this tour.

Setlist:
Show began at 8 p.m.

2008-05-05T00:55:00.000-07:00

This EC show was Rocking and Blues.He is the Strat-Cat.I loved it,the show at Ford Amphitheatre ,Tampa was a guitars players dream,pure Eric ripping on the guitar,no fluff.Just plan and simple rocking and blues guitar.The stage has a nice back drop that brings the band in closer and intimate.Eric went right into the l songs no time between them no talking.Eric and the band looked they were have a good time and I have never see Eric walk around the stage some much.The sit down part of the show was just so good.Eric played 6string,12string and the electric.The video for the show was directed very well,like the Crossroads shows ,(which I went to both of them)no MTV stuff here,on there hands and guitars or faces when singing.The sound system was really great ,clean,loud,and clear,also good projection on the backdrop.I have seen EC for 40 years ,I loved the band with Derek Trucks,I would have to say this is just E.C burning on the guitar and thats what I want to see.The show was about 2hr.It is a must see show if you love guitar playing and EC.Robert Randolph was a good choice for opening and the Crossroads jam was a treat.I loved "Little Wing".

Rev.Billy C.Wirtz & the Tally Wackers @ Beach Shack 4-12-08

2008-04-14T20:27:00.000-07:00

A great show by the Rev.Billy C and the Tally Wackers,at first not many folks there for the show but as the hours got closer to 10p the people came out and had a good time. Check out Rev.Billys shoes very cool.

BuddyGuy & Los Lonely Boys @ H.O.B.Orlando,Fl 4-11-08

2008-04-14T20:01:00.000-07:00

Well if you have seen Buddy Guy you know what kind of show he does.Buddy was the headliner or the last to play.First up was the Los Lonely Boys,I have seen them a couple of time and they rock.Three brother play there hearts out.The set was 1hr 1/2 with some long jams and a few of there hits.The bass player had 32 speakers ,the drummer bass drum was miked so you could feel the beat in your chest.The lead guitar just smoke on every set.First song was Crossroads.A very cool band and has a good fan base.
Next was Buddy Guy who was top shelf,I have seen Buddy about 6 times.Two times at Crossroads,he just takes the show to a higher level.At this show at the House Of Blues he was on his game.Buddy played for about 1hr 20min.Buddy does Buddy no set list just what comes out at the time and plays the crowd.He is alwas good there is no one like him.Buddy Guy is a must see show.
Let me say a thing about the House Of Blues,you have to get frist,everthing out of your pockets,a wand waved around you,the kids that do it have no smiles,don't care on the music,the people who work there are rude and just don't care about the people going to see the music.I don't give HOB any extra money at the show.There are few seats there for all the shows.I see at other HOBs they do put seats out sometimes.The attitude is not a friendly place.I go there because they have some good show,but the attitude just sucks.You can't bring anything in so here are some photos off my cell phone.

Jason Ricci & New Blood @ Beach Shack 4-6-08

2008-04-07T05:21:00.000-07:00

Seeing Jason Ricci & New Blood is alwas a treat.You know your are in for a 2hr set of high energy. On a rainy Sunday night at the Beach Shack was rocking Jason just does not bring a bag or harps and plays as you can see it takes a crate of harps and rack of foot pedals.Jason and New Blood played top shelf and just rock the house with some fine harp work,10-15 min solos and Shawn on guitar has a great touch and is a top shelf guitar player.On the bottom end is Todd aka.Buckweek is just a monster on that Bass. Ron on drums is driving the band hard.Jason Ricci & New Blood is a must see and a master on the Harp.

Ben Prestage W/TallyWackers@theBeachShack 4/5/08

2008-04-06T07:20:00.000-07:00

I have not see Ben Prestage in about a year,he has just improved so much and is getting his act down so well and his playing is great.Last night at the Beach Shack brought out with Ben the TallyWackers who play with Rev.Billy C.Wirtz,also a treat was the return of Boxdrummer,Since playing in the TallyWackers Boxdrummer put down the boxes and as go to a full drum trap set.Well the crowd went wild with return of the Boxdrummer with Ben and Bruce Johnson on Harp.One highlight of the night was a box solo which Boxdrummer had lighted BLUE drum sticks and the crowd at the Beach Shack went wild.

The Chicago Trip Pt.2 The Rehearsal CBR 3-21-08

2008-03-27T00:48:00.000-07:00

We flew in to Chicago on Fri.3-21-08.The Chicago Blues Reunion as I said are recording a live CD and DVD recorded on Sat.night.On Fri.night there was a dress rehearsal that Joel was invited to.Joel called Harvey Mandel and he told us the place and time.It was a rehearsal hall,as we found the hall it had no address just between two buildings.
As we took an pull down service elevator up to 3rd floor we could hear Corky jamming on the harp,as we walked toward the sound of the band,Joel saw Nick Gravenites on a chair outside the rehearsal hall and shook Joel hand and said good to see him.We went to a 30feet by 60feet room with few chairs and a rug to sit on.The band C.B.R. sounded so good.There were only about 20 people there in the room.They were video taping and some photographers there too.I had my little camera with me.I got some photos and a video of the song "Wine" with Nick Gravenites and Marcy Levy singing.Check out the video.It was also Harvey Mandel's 63rd B-day I think a week before .One cool thing happen that night,Harvey was introducing the band and looked around the room and started to introduce people in the audience,he saw Joel and said he liked to thank his good friend Joel Silver from Fla. for coming up to see the band play.Wow I thought Harvey Mandel thanking my friend Joel and calling him is good friend,how cool is that.What you have here is Nick Gravenites on Vocals and Marcy Levy on Vocals ,Harvey Mandel Lead guitar,Corky Siegel on Harp,Barry Goldberg on piano and hammond b3,Rick Reed Bass,Gary Mallaber drums.Look for Pt.3

The Chicago Blues Reunion were doing a live show in a place that holds about 800 blues fans.This show is going to be recored for a CD and DVD. This time in the band are a few changes like no Tracy Nelson or Sam Lay who was sick.They have a great woman singer named Marcy Levy,she has been in Eric Claptons band and co wrote Lay Down Sally and is very nice and beautiful. So both of us got our winter clothes out again.Caps,gloves,long underware ,layers and winter jackets.It was 30 out.We had a smooth plane flight up.Joel is good friends with Corky Siegel,Joel found out that Sam Lay was in the hospital.So on Sat.we were going to see him.That is another part of the trip.When I woke up on Sat.3-22-08 it had snowed and I went out for a walk about 8am to get coffee.I was taking photos and a video which is below and on youtube I will give you the link.It is like when I see tourist taking photo and picking up sand at the beach only I was picking up snow and taking pictures of it.As you can see by noon the sky was a perfect blue sky still it was 32 out with little wind.Well Part 2 coming Seeing the Band, CBR
