Wonder what Mick thinks...
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - It's a big payday for The Boss.

The 10 sold-out shows for Bruce Springsteen (news) and the E Street Band at Giants Stadium this summer will bring his production company more than $36 million, according to the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, which operates the stadium.
The authority on Wednesday approved a payment of $25.5 million for the first seven shows to Springsteen's Thrill Hill Productions Inc. The authority is to make payment next month for the final three shows in August, pushing the total to $36.4 million.
"Not bad for a summer of work," authority President George Zoffinger told The Star-Ledger of Newark.
Springsteen was guaranteed $1.7 million for each concert and a percentage of concessions, about 13 percent of all money collected.
The band concludes its 2002-03 world tour at New York's Shea Stadium on Oct. 1, 3 and 4. More than 3 million tickets have been sold for 119 concerts in 82 cities around the world. The tour began last August at Giants Stadium, according to the group. |

He is more popular than the Stones right now. He put out a new album that received great reviews and he plays most of those songs on his current tour, showing he's got the balls to go against the grain of other older acts who get bored and play the same stuff every other night.
It's no surprise that he was able to get all of those people to come to his shows.

"he's more popular than the stones right now"
NO HE'S NOT- springsteen is playing in his HOMETOWN
and as usual the press is falling all over
themselves,buying into the hype.the truth is his
tour didn't do as well as they're saying.
he might sell out shows in jersey but he had some half
full houses around the country last year.

I've seen him live 3 times. Yes, he's good live. I don't need to see him again.
Is he still pretending to be "blue-collar Jersey Bruce"? |

i heard he was insisting that through his small audience shows no one could make a sound least they disturb the artiste and his adoring fans...that's nonsense to me
