Bruce Springsteen und die E Street Band im Stone Pony 1984: Eine Geschichte von James Shive !

James Shive  (www.ShiveArchive.com) Bilder sind einfach unglaublich und es freut mich, dass er uns die Geschichte zu einem besonderen Bild erzählt.

Das Bild zeigt Bruce, Clarence und Max im Stone Pony 1984! Hier seine Geschichte, dass erste Mal in Deutsch:

Wir waren Stammgäste in der Jersey Shore-Rock-Szene, wo Bands wie Bonjovi und Southside häufig zu sehen waren und wir alle wussten, diese Menschenwürden an die Spitze kommen, es gab einen AURA in der Luft in dieser Zeit an der magischen Jersey Shore, und hier war ich mit meiner Kamera für einige unglaubliche Momente. Zum Beispiel, bekam ich einen Anruf von einem Mann aus dem Stone Pony, der mir sagte, dass die gesamte E Street Band heute Nacht spielen würde. Wir sprangen in unseren schwarzen Firebird, fuhren  in Rekordzeit ins Pony um ein mitreißenden Set von Songs aus Born in the USA zu sehen, es war der unoffizielle Beginn der Tour in den USA. Die Hitze dieser Juni Nacht, die so intensiv war und im Inneren des Stone Pony noch heißer, so dass bereits nach wenigen Songs meiner Kamera beschlagenwar umd meine Fotografie beschränkte. Aber die Bilder die ich schoß werden immer eine meiner Lieblinge sein, zumal viele meiner Besten sowohl Clarence und Danny in jeder Aufnahme enthalten.
hier ist eines jener Fotos, die unter http://www.ShiveArchive.com erhältlich sind, die heiße Nacht im Juni 1984.

 

 

 

We were regulars at the jersey Shore rock scene, where bands like Bonjovi and Southside were common to see and we all knew these people were going to the top, there was an auro in the air it was  amagical time at the jersey Shore, and here I was with my camera for some incredible moments, for instance, i get a phone call from a sound man at the Stone Pony who tells me that the entire E Street Band is going to play tonite, we jump into our black fire bird with the tee top down only, make it to the Pony in record time to see the most rousing set of songs from Born in the USA, It was the un official beginning of the Born in the USA tour,  the heat that june night was so intense and inside the Stone Pony even hotter, so after only a few songs my camera was fogged up and limited my photography, but the images I did shoot will always be some of my favorite, especially since many of my best contain both clarence and danny in each frame.

here is one of those photos that is available at www.ShiveArchive.com taken that hot night in June 1984

Bruce Springsteen: When i leave Berlin (Pro-Shot)

Video: Bruce Springsteen: When i leave Berlin

Den völlig überraschenden Opener von Berlin 2012 „When I leave Berlin“ wurde als offizielles HD-Video veröffentlicht !

Der Artikel auf Bruce Springsteen.net schreit nach einem weiteren Konzert 😀 :

Last night was Bruce and E Street’s second biggest show ever in Germany with 55,000 fans in attendance.  The biggest, however, was in 1988 and is described in today’s Reuters article by Erik Kirschbaum:

“Berlin, largely a working class city, has been a special place for Springsteen since his July 1988 concert behind the old Iron Curtain in East Berlin.

Watched by 160,000 people, or about 1 percent of then Communist East Germany’s population, it was the biggest rock show in East German history, and The Boss boldly spoke out against the ‘barriers’ keeping East Germans in their portion of the city.

Some historians have said the concert fed into a movement gaining moment at the time that contributed to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall 16 months later in November 1989.

‘Once in a while you play a place, a show that ends up staying inside of you, living with you for the rest of your life,’ he told the crowd on Wednesday after being handed a poster from a fan thanking him for the 1988 concert. ‘East Berlin in 1988 was certainly one of them.‘”

Hence, the emotional reasons for last night’s special premiere performance of the song “When I Leave Berlin” by British folk musician Wizz Jones from his 1973 album of the same name.

Except for that unforgettable 1988 show, which was the band’s largest concert ever, this has been Bruce and E Street’s best and most inspiring tour of Germany.  Bruce ended last night by thanking the great audiences in Frankfurt, Cologne, and Berlin and telling them, “We love you, and we’ll be seeing you.”
