So the big news with Bruce Springsteen (other than the fact that he's playing Pete Seeger's 90th birthday celebration in May) is that he has announced that Max Weinberg will not, in fact, be playing all of the dates on Workin' on a Dream tour. That's because Conan O'Brien's show starts at its new time right as Bruce and The E Street Band start their European tour. I thought that maybe Larry Eagle from the Sessions Band might be a logical pick (Charlie Giordano from The Sessions Band is now E Street's touring organ player). But he's sticking closer to the family: Max's son, Jay Weinberg (who played drums on "Born To Run" at one of the Giants Stadium shows last summer) will fill in when Max can't make it. Bruce has also announced two "rehearsal shows" at Asbury Park's Convention Center Monday and Tuesday. They went on sale Friday and predictably, sold out immediately. But I'm still hoping that I can pull off tickets for Tuesday's show.
