Siro, urla to the microphone "one, two..." and it is felt to answer "one, two, three, four" from 73mila fan Italian, for many of which the the 21 date of june will become more important of the birthday. It is before the time of Springsteen in Italy, for many the wait lasted from years, too much strongly it is the emotion to find itself finally of forehead to the Boss with and the Street Band: on the ritornello of "Born In The U.S.A." 200mila the watt of the amplification cannot null in front of the roar of the crowd that grida like sol a man.

After almost two years off from performing, not including surprise club gigs, and a year of a lot of personal change (he moved to LA, became a father, and broke up the E Street Band), Bruce agreed to do two acoustic shows for the Christic Institute, a public watchdog agency, with Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne. Many, many rumors of Bruce's recording activities circulated in the spring and summer of 1990, and many people wondered if Bruce was going to debut any new songs. Between the two nights, six new songs were played. This show included the debuts of "Red Headed Woman," "When The Lights Go Out," "57 Channels," and "Real World." Other highlights from this show include a slow version on piano of "10th Avenue Freezeout," "Thunder Road" (Bruce forgets the words), and "My Hometown," as well as the acoustic premiere of "Darkness on the Edge of Town." "Real World" is performed on piano, which most fans prefer to the version later released on Human Touch. 
As Bruce explored other musical routes throughout the 1990's, fans often dreamed of Springsteen rejoining forces with the E Street Band on-stage once again. It looked like that was going to happen in 1995 when they recorded new songs for Bruce's "Greatest Hits" package and even did a few appearances together, but it was not to be, as Bruce's muse leaned more toward the quiet, acoustic sound of "The Ghost of Tom Joad."
The initial theory was that the tour was in support of "Tracks," but the majority of the songs played each night were from "Born to Run," "Darkness on the Edge of Town," and "The River," arguably the strongest of Bruce's studio output. Only 23 songs from "Tracks" ended up being played over the course of the tour, some of those only once.

However, Bruce certainly didn't forget the long-unplayed nuggets, as he seemed to pull out some serious shockers as the course progressed. The tour debut of "New York City Serenade" had jaws dropping everywhere, and it seemed like nothing was out of the realm of possibility on the tour.
With a new album, it was only a matter of time before the tour was to begin. And then on July 10, that announcement came: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are hitting the road in the second half of 2002 for a "barnstorming" tour, playing 46 shows in 46 cities, 39 in North America and 7 in Europe.
DISC ONE
In April 2006, Springsteen released his latest album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, an American roots music project focused around a big folk sound treatment of 15 songs popularized by Pete Seeger. It was recorded with a large ensemble of musicians, including only Patti Scialfa, Soozie Tyrell, and the Miami Horns from past efforts. In contrast to previous albums, this was recorded in only three one-day sessions, and frequently one can hear Springsteen calling out key changes live as the band explores its way through the tracks. The Bruce Springsteen with The Seeger Sessions Band Tour began the same month, featuring the 18-strong ensemble of musicians dubbed the Seeger Sessions Band. Seeger Sessions material was heavily featured, as well as a handful of (usually drastically rearranged) Springsteen numbers. The tour proved very popular in Europe, selling out everywhere and receiving some excellent reviews, but newspapers have reported that attendance at U.S. shows has often been sparse.
