Springsteen’s musical history in album
Bruce Springsteen CD – Chapter and Verse. Performing Mt Smart Stadium Saturday, February 25 with Jet and Marlon Williams.
Chapter And Verse is the audio companion to Bruce Springsteen’s extraordinary autobiography Born To Run.
We have a copy up for grabs as the ideal precursor to his much anticipated show.
The career-spanning compilation contains 18 tracks 5 of which have not been previously released.
Springsteen selected the songs on Chapter and Verse to reflect the themes and sections of Born to Run.
The compilation begins with two tracks from The Castiles, featuring a teenaged Springsteen on guitar and vocals, and ends with the title track from 2012’s Wrecking Ball.
The collected songs trace Springsteen’s musical history from its earliest days, telling a story that parallels the one in the book.
Recordings from Steel Mill and The Bruce Springsteen Band feature musicians who would go on to play in The E Street Band.
Solo demos of Henry Boy and Growin’ Up were cut in 1972 shortly before Springsteen began recording his debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
Containing lyrics and rare photos this album is a must have for anyone even remotely interested in ‘The Boss’ just as his mammoth concerts are a definite ‘must see’.
In further exciting news - and perhaps evidence that no one can say no to Bruce - one of Australia’s most successful rock bands of all time, Jet, will be reforming especially for the tour and will be bringing smash hits such as Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, Look What You’ve Done, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Rip It Up, and Seventeen to the table.
Local Kiwi favourite Marlon Williams who has toured extensively throughout North America and UK/Europe including spots on some of the world’s leading music festivals, rounds out the line-up
What will Springsteen bust out at the show?
There’s only one way to find out.
For a night to remember and a show you will never forget - The Boss is back and ready to rock!
