Solo Springsteen Ready To Tour
This is from Billboard.com - it appears that larger scale shows with the E-Street Band will follow later in the year...
Bruce Springsteen will begin a solo acoustic tour April 25 in Detroit, in support of his upcoming Columbia album, "Devils & Dust." The first North American leg of the tour will play 2,500- to 5,000-seat theaters and theater configurations in arenas through May 20 in Boston, to be followed by a European run that begins May 24 in Dublin.
The Boss will finish in Europe on June 25 in Stockholm, with more North American dates likely. "Our hope is that sometime by the fall we will come back to the U.S. and make some additional appearances in our biggest Bruce markets," longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau tells Billboard.com.
Initially, the plan is to quickly showcase the new album, due April 26. "Bruce has a beautiful new CD that we're very excited about and we want to get out and show the colors right off, touching base with as many cities as we can conveniently do," Landau reports.
Ticket prices are still being finalized, but Landau says they will be in the $85 range for the premium seats. Springsteen last toured solo in support of the 1995 album "The Ghost of Tom Joad." On that outing, he played only acoustic guitar and harmonica; this time around, Springsteen will also play some piano, Landau says.
"Bruce is rehearsing the show right now, creating a very specific perspective for it," Landau says. "As is always the case with Bruce, the set will evolve right up until the last show." Tickets for some shows go on sale this weekend.
Landau says the new album "has a combination of rock music and acoustic music, but as a body of work we thought that the intimacy of the solo show wound up best serving the CD as a whole. The full rock version of some of the new songs is sure to be part of the next E Street Band tour."
On Monday (April 4), Springsteen taped an episode of the occasional VH1 series "Storytellers" at the new Two River Theatre in Red Bank, N.J. He previewed the title track of "Devils & Dust," as well as "Jesus Was an Only Son," and touched on material from across his career, including "Thunder Road," "Brilliant Disguise" and "The Rising." The broadcast premiere is scheduled for April 23.

The font of all knowledge as ever Gazza.
I wonder if there will be a clash with the European Cup Final and if I will be torn between the two.......

as optimistic as ever!
However, this is the 2005 tour, not 1985! |
|
|
| BillyBoll |
And as cruel as ever!!
You should know by now that I am eternally, perhaps misguidedly, optimistic that we will return to greatness.
Although it doesnt help when you've got russian blood money to contend with and an injury list as long as your arm. |

Don't necessarily expect much of a broader impact from activity on iTunes. I downloaded the song, and it's pretty much a snooze. (Not a bad song, but a snooze.) It'll be lucky to get any radio airplay... |

I dont think there'll be a pre-sale. Nothing so far and the first ticket sale is tomorrow, I think, for some shows.
You might want to register here though if you miss out on the tickets scramble - http://www.backstreets.com/btx/ |

I checked out the info for the New Jersey show at Continental Airlines and it's a two ticket limit...would make sense for the smaller club gigs, though. |

Thanks Gary :-)......do you know any ticket prices yet? |
|
|

Jon Landau (the Boss of the Boss) says in the article quoted above that the high end of ticket prices should be in the $85 region
so, its basically going to be much the same on average as the last E-Street Band tour, which was $75 I believe.
Cleveland is on sale TOMORROW at 9 am.
