Because the Night - Bruce Springsteen Joe Grushecky Willie Nile John Eddie Garland Jeffreys

[Bossladyone2]

Because the night belongs to lovers, some of us get left out.

If there is re-incarnation, I want to come back as Bruce Springsteen's guitar

[timeloner421]

good job drummer, whom ever u r, hanging with B.!!

[Dabomb0066]

@timeloner421 That's Joffo from, the Houserockers!!!

[julieoconnor830]

yea John Eddie

[HighwayManNL]

The guy with the big hair is Willie Nile...damn fine artist in his own right who deserved to be as successful as Bruce

[stzapper]

Willie Nile is rock n' roll.

[cherylmoseley]

What I love the most is the fact that they are doing this for the benefit of people who suffer from Parkinsons Disease. I've never been to Light of Day, nor to AP, but I've been very involved w/people who have this. I completely honor anyone who is passionate about raising awareness. Just had dinner with a friend who couldn't raise his fork to his mouth because he was frozen from rigidity due to PD. Who cares about Willie's hair! Praise them all for singing, moving, and giving!

[lplbooze]

The bassist is a cross between paul simon with a bad wig and Munch from Law and order svu.

[MrMscampbell]

For you bozos who seem to have a problem with Willie Nile, you should know this was Willie's show and Bruce was HIS guest, not the other way around. In fact, Bruce would be mortified to read this slander. Willie is one of the most genuine - and talented - guys I've ever met, that's why he's Bruce's friend and that's why Bruce comes out to support this cause (Parkinson's research)... Get a grip.

[mapender]

@MrMscampbell I don't have a problem with him, but I think that Willie's set was earlier in the evening and this was either Joe's or Bruce's set (however you wish to look at it).

[MrMscampbell]

@mapender Hey, thanks for jumping in... I know Willie's set was earlier - and obviously Bruce was the headliner - but Willie's been doing this benefit series (all over the world) for a long time now. I could be wrong but I think he's responsible, at least in part, for getting Bruce involved. If anyone bother to check out Willie's set, Bruce is up playing with HIM (One Guitar). Bruce invited Willie up to play with him at Giant's Stadium a few years ago and not because he sucks!

[MrMscampbell]

@mapender It galls me no end to read the crap that's been posted here about Willie by people who obviously haven't a clue about who he is, or the body of work he's responsible for. Ask any musician worth his salt and they know. I'm from Canada and there's a lyric in a Sloan song (also from Canada and a great band, by the way) that goes something like, "It's not the band I hate, it's their fans." Couldn't be more true reading this stuff. Love Springsteen, but the "fans?" Nah...

[1stSaintsFan]

@MrMscampbell Fuck Canada...You guys have been pissing and shitting on the US for years...Go fuck off you powderpuffers...

[MrMscampbell]

@1stSaintsFan Hahahahaha. You guys kill me with your pithiness...

[1stSaintsFan]

@MrMscampbell Come to Louisiana, we speak French down here. We are kinda like the Quebec of the US, except the rest of the country doesn't hate us.,

[MrMscampbell]

@1stSaintsFan I'll make it one of these days. Sadly, one of my friends - animator Helen Hunt (married to Dr. Paul Gailiunas - both from Halifax) - was murdered in New Orleans after Katrina while Paul was there helping people for free. Left a bit of a bad taste about the city I have to say... Do like the cajun music though...

[1stSaintsFan]

@MrMscampbell ...That is terrible, I hope that caught the scum. I live outside the city because of the crime..Google..Louisiana Jazz & Heritage Festival..best time to visit NOLA is for the music and food that happens that time of year...Get rooms close to French Quarter and shuttle bus into the fairgrounds..lots of police and controlled visiting crowds..

[estreetbill]

Yeah, I've got to agree with most everybody on here. Willie Nile is without a doubt, since he's a "friend" of Bruce's, it's like Bruce is giving him an opportunity to be front and center, so to speak. It comes off as very phony. he even attempts to copy Bruce's natural moves that we E Streeters have been watching for 41 years. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but not in this case. You don't see Garland Jeffrey's jumping into Bruce's spot. Nah, I don't care for the guy.

[Mrssixtynine]

Wahnsinns Solo vom BOSS - freu mich auf Köln :-))

[bangagong1969]

God how lucky is Tracy Francese to be this close, I could only wish in my wildest dreams to be that close to The Boss. I just hope that Bruce extends his tour to include Australia, I want to be there screaming my guts out to this song and all his music at a concert in Sydney.

[ejverhey]

Willie Nile is terrific. Listen to his music before you make any snap decisions about him.

[Stella1957ful]

no way... Bruce is the BOSS... and he will be under my sikn forever.... while I miss Clarence Clemons ....

[03macz]

Good teaser for seeing the Boss and E-Streeet band in Berlin

[goose1056]

I don't see any members of the "EAST" street band on stage !!! lol

[vvjm1221]

@goose1056 hahahaha!!



[webfrasse]

"the East St Band "?

[dangochnour]

Obviously all of you posting the crap comments about Willie either don't know the prolific body of his work or his history or you're just ignorant morons. Willie is an amazing artist, writer, performer, musician and person. His energetic impassioned performances are from the heart. Bruce respects his work enough to invite Willie to perform with him and the East St Band whenever theyre nearby NYC.

[thechucker44]

@dangochnour Who are the East St. Band? Willie is a total fruitcake.

[DoogeMeister]

Just from reading some of the comments here I take it that a good number have never heard of Willie Nile. He is a brilliant songwriter and performer in his own right, and the Boss likes him as well. Go get some of his music and you'll soon be changing your tune.

[thechucker44]

@DoogeMeister He is a total nut job.

[RaveOnNJ]

Willie Nile (big hair) is a character. Always has been, always will be. I laughed at how he spent half the song looking at the teleprompter for the lyrics. A great night in AP and Bruce was loose with the Patron...

[rfpadgett1]

Willie Nile is the man. Somehow manages to upstage even Bruce with his spastic energy.

[Valdesvictor]

I totally hate that guy with the afro-bush hair!!!!! AAAARGH!!!

[0802turtleman]

He might be the "great Garland Jeffreys" but he is acting like a fucking dork.

[alongidog]

The "afro-guy" is the great Garland Jeffreys.

[7319ms]

Willie Nile House Of A Thousand Guitars

Great voice...

[jak5080]

ha  willie nile

[martin0738]

I couldn't stop staring on the afro-guy on the right

[rujimhenry]

Haha that guy wit the hair is doing all crazy hand movements... at one point he openshis jacket like he's a stripper.... redic

[carpat12]

who IS THAT GUY WITH THE BIG HAIR !!!!!!!

[miraclevoice]

Love it - the entire group including Niles

[CharlesGlassmanMD]

That be Willie Nile...

[sunsprie]

Who is that big haired cunt?Hes getting on like a right wanker

[vsibirsky]

It would take a whole section to replace Clarence and of course replacing him is impossible. Love that The Boss has never forgotten his Jersey roots and when he plays in N.J. the music has a special return to home energy. keep rocking Bruce!

[omfern]

Going to see him in July! Looking forward to it!

[ltaylor100]

The guy with the crazy hair (Willie Nile) that you are making fun of donates his time to play concerts all over North America for FREE in support of Light of Day which is a charity for Parkinson's....have a little class.

[thechucker44]

@ltaylor100 He is a complete spaz.

[talkrite]

So great that Bruce continues to live and be a part of his NJ roots. Clarence is and always will be sorely missed by all, esp. Bruce and the band. I heard on the radio that they had to hire a whole horn section for their next tour to replace the incredible "Big Man"/Clarence .

[carolann20]

@dukestreetking75 I agree with you.The guy with the Big Hair has to go .I don't know who he is but Really ! I think he was trying to take the stage , Just sayin, But Bruce was Great he will always be GREAT!! i love him

[AHelplessGrandma]

how did that dude with the big hair get up there?

[thechucker44]

@AHelplessGrandma It was - invite a retard on stage night.

[janbay37]

Love you Bruce! Can't wait to see you again!!

[Brigante7]

Stadium of light 21st June, can't wait.

[McNiagara]

...cheesy!,...he's a gnat!

[etcas1]

Love you, from the other Jersey girl, here at Donovan's

[greetingsjoy]

the guy is great(not a show stealer) you are def mistaken.

[raycubbieblue]

WOW, quite a collection of talent, Garland Jeffreys tends to be a forgotten gem!!!

[sue46thunderroad]

Awesome! Bruce is still the BEST! Love seeing John Eddie too!

[revzstephsays22]

goosebumps!!!



[revzstephsays22]

<3 Asbury Park, Bruuuuce, Joe G. 4 ever...

[texaspete66]

@hughezy...ha ha isn't he just ! Like he's trying to get centre stage to grab all the attention from the boss., as if. ...And he looks and moves ridiclulously !

[Lathandhel]

willie nile is a fucking R&R genius

[AnjutaFromRussia]

Bruuuuuce! y u so amazing? ❤

[Hughezy]

that guy with the huge hair is a cheesy bastard

[vegaswolf]

@Hughezy looks like Eraserhead

[Hughezy]

@vegaswolf he looks like Kramer snuck on stage

[vegaswolf]

@Hughezy you are correct. He does make a few Kramer-like moves as well.



[MrRagamuffin38]

@Hughezy Haha he sure is.. It's Willie Nile, I met him once and he was talking very proudly 'bout how he played with Bruce in the Giants Stadium.. Thinking he's the man, while ridiculing himself

[DoogeMeister]

@Hughezy The guy with the "huge hair" is actually Willie Nile, one of New York's finest songwriters and performers.

[thechucker44]

@Hughezy How did he figure out a way to get on stage with The Boss?

[thechucker44]

@Hughezy Who is it? He is such a trainwreck I can't help but watch him.

[DiggersDaughter]

@Hughezy Big haired guy looks as if he's had a few too many alcoholic beverages (or Marching Powder) IMO!!! PS Looks as if he's reading the words from the Autocue as well..... Great performance from Bruce and the others though.

[fuzyheads]

Holy Shit!



[bmwilli60]

sehr schön



[mistergrupo7]

Maravilloso Bruce. Como siempre.

[RichmondMom13]

Awesome!! Bruce is amazing!!

[BarbySpringsteen]

Bruce: I love you forever!!! ♥♥ :)

[yof8ful]

My two favorite men, Bruce and John!

[1StevieA]

AND with the Incredible Willie Nile leaping around like a maniac. Fantastic. Can wait to See Willie in April and Bruce in June over here in the UK. Bring it on gentlemen.

[petunia757]

OMG!!! This is AWESOME...I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen AND John Eddie fan...super sweet to see them on stage together...I'm grinning ear to ear...thanks so much for sharing this deliciousness!!

[Eeza07]

His voice is sounding good, this is excellent.
