Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band Tour Announced

Ever since I saw the Chicago show of the latest solo Bruce tour, the “Devils & Dust” tour, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to see the Boss in all of his E Street Band glory.

It looks like I’m not going to get that chance any time soon, but Bruce will be on the road with his Seeger Sessions Band in support of the upcoming We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions album.

All Access: Bruce Springsteen & The Seeger Sessions Band

Last year, Bruce Springsteen was touring solo, showcasing the moody sounds of Devils & Dust. This year’s tour couldn’t be more different. In May 2006,

Last year, Bruce Springsteen was touring solo, showcasing the moody sounds of Devils & Dust. This year’s tour couldn’t be more different. In May 2006, The Boss released We Shall Overcome , a raucous celebration of American folk songs popularized by Pete Seeger, and now he’s taken his 17-piece Seeger Sessions Band on the road, playing a glorious mixture of roots music and reworked originals. The current tour began in April with a performance at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, followed by 10 European dates. Mix checked in with longtime engineers John Cooper (front of house) and Monty J. Carlo (monitors) when they came to the San Francisco Bay Area in early June for a stop at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord, Calif.

Springsteen is on a Shure UHF-R wireless with custom Audix OM-3 capsule that the tour’s staff engineered.

The band: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, guitar and harmonica), Sam Bardfeld (violin), Art Baron (tuba), Frank Bruno (guitar), Jeremy Chatzky (upright bass), Larry Eagle (drums), Charles Giordano (accordion/keyboards), Curtis King (vocals), Greg Liszt (banjo), Lisa Lowell (vocals), Eddie Manion (sax), Cindy Mizelle (vocals), Mark Pender (trumpet), Marty Rifkin (pedal steel guitar), Richie “La Bamba” Rosenberg (trombone), Patti Scialfa (vocals), Marc Anthony Thompson (vocals) and Soozie Tyrell (violin).

“My mixing console is a Digidesign VENUE D-Show,” FOH engineer John Cooper says. “No outboard gear at all; I’m using plug-ins for all dynamics and effects.” Cooper is using somewhere in the neighborhood of 72 channels, which includes audience mics. “I’m using Shure’s DFR11s for extra gain before feedback when Bruce gets in front of the P.A. in the sheds,” Cooper adds.

“This tour with Bruce & The Seeger Sessions Band is quite different than anything I’ve done with Bruce in the past,” he continues. “We have 18 musicians onstage, sometimes 20 when we go with a six-man horn section. Lots of extended solos — very dynamic, very percussive. I’m also tracking this to Pro Tools HD. [I’ve got] 72 tracks, which are primarily for archival, but we have already used mixes for the Internet as some of the tracking for an upcoming project.

“I must give a tip of the mixing hat to my system engineer, John Bruey. He is second-to-none when it comes to keeping me out of trouble. As always, the Audio Analysts guys take really good care of me out here. The shop staff looks after things with great detail.”

Audio Analysts (Colorado Springs, Colo.) is providing the tour’s P.A., which comprises a JBL VerTec system with two JBL 4880 subs flown over 12 to 14 4889s; outfill is with Audio Analysts Aalto cabinets. According to front-of-house engineer John Cooper, JBL 4887s are also used for near-field coverage, with additional subs on the deck.

Drum tech Bob Weber takes care of the drum mic setup (Shure 91, kick; SM57, snare top; Beta 98s, snare bottom/bongos/floor toms; and KSM 32s, overheads).

Monitor engineer Monty J. Carlo with daughter Zoe

According to monitor engineer Monty J. Carlo, because of the tour’s sheer size, he has opted for a digital console [Yamaha PM1D]. “Between the number of inputs coming from the stage (72) and the outputs required for 18 to 20 bandmembers, depending on the day, it was my only real choice. I first used the 1D on The Rising tour. When I saw the size and scope of this tour, I knew that a digital console would be the only way to go. I looked around and nothing offered the inputs and configurable outputs capable of dealing with a band this size and still be able to stay with a manageable footprint. Being able to have scenes programmed for each song helps keep my sanity. The instrumentation on the songs can change drastically from one to another. To have to deal with that in an analog world would be one thing with a four- or six-piece band, but it would be next to impossible with one of this size.

“Bruce has an active band mix going on,” Carlo says. “I’m kept pretty busy riding solos for him. Some of the arrangements have seven or eight people soloing throughout the song. Some of the bandmembers’ mixes are set up to follow the solos, as well. With each song programmed separately, I’m saved a lot of headaches with song-to-song changes.”

“Of the 18 to 20 people onstage,” monitor engineer Monty J. Carlo says, “the only musicians who aren’t on ear monitors are Bruce and the drummer, Larry [Eagle]. They’re both using Audio Analysts 1×15-inch wedges. Everybody else is set up with Westone ES2 IEMs and either Sennheiser G2s or Shure PSM 700s. I only had access to 16 channels of Sennheiser at the beginning of the tour and ended up putting four of the horn players on PSM 700s.”

Bruce Springsteen with the Seeger Sessions Band Tour

• Edit source

The Bruce Springsteen with the Seeger Sessions Band Tour , afterward sometimes referred to simply as the Sessions Band Tour , was a 2006 concert tour featuring Bruce Springsteen and the Sessions Band playing what was billed as "An all-new evening of gospel, folk, and blues", otherwise seen as a form of big band folk music. The tour was an outgrowth of the approach taken on Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions album, which featured folk music songs written or made popular by activist folk musician Pete Seeger, but taken to an even greater extent.

The tour began on April 20, 2006, with the first of four rehearsal shows at Asbury Park Convention Hall as well as a promotional appearance there on ABC's Good Morning America . Then came a successful performance before a non-Springsteen crowd at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 30, in a city still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina; Springsteen voiced discontent over government handling of the aftermath of Katrina, much to the satisfaction of the handkerchief-waving audience. [1]

The tour's first proper leg then began in May with 10 regular concerts and one special television concert in Western Europe; the first was at the Point Depot in Dublin on May 5. A return to the United States for the second leg saw 18 concerts from late May to late June, ending at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on June 25.

Springsteen said in various languages during the latter stages of the European leg of the tour, "See you in the fall!" Accordingly, the tour's third leg consited of 27 shows in Europe again, during October and November. This leg was sometimes dubbed The American Land Tour 2006 , after a new Springsteen song that was being played as well as the We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions – American Land Edition reissue of the album. It began on October 1 at the PalaMalaguti in Bologna, Italy, and concluded on November 21, 2006, at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. No further American shows took place.

Material from the Seeger Sessions album dominated the set list of the 2½ hour shows. Especially in the numbers played first, such as "John Henry" and "O Mary Don't You Weep", the typically 18-strong band put up a huge sound, with a four-acoustic-guitar-led rhythm section creating a strong beat, punctuated by plenty of violin, banjo, and trumpet solos as well as multiple false endings. Audience participation was encouraged for the later "My Oklahoma Home" ("Blown away!") and sing-songey "Pay Me My Money Down", while "Jacob's Ladder" was musically illustrated by three or four key changes. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "[Springsteen] used every trick in the trade to make these 100-year-old songs sound bigger than life."

Broadcasts and Recordings [ ]

Bruce Springsteen – The Seeger Sessions Live , a video recording of a May 9, 2006, performance in London's St Luke Old Street church, was filmed by the BBC and also broadcast in the U.S. by PBS.

In addition, performance sequences from the tour were included on the expanded DVD portions of the October 2006 We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions album reissue.

Three late-in-tour shows at the Point Depot in Dublin were filmed, to materialize in June 2007 on the Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band: Live in Dublin DVD, Blu-ray, and CD, a release whose title represented a belated removal of the Seeger connotation from the venture (and one that has been kept since). [21] A 90-minute theatrical version played in various U.S. major cities on June 4, 2007, the day before the commercial release of the DVD/CD.

Audio of the opening show of the tour, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, was released through the Bruce Springsteen Archives in December 2017; full video of this concert was later posted on Springsteen's YouTube channel in May 2019.

A recording of Wembley Arena on November 11 was also released as live archive on August 21, 2020.

Things To Do

Things to do | new tribute album paints bob seger in a bluegrass light .

“Ralph II did a song by Elton John called ‘Georgia,’ Blue Moon Rising did a Bruce Springsteen song called ‘Youngstown,’ and those went over really well,” says Deaton, a producer and audio engineer who started the Lonesome Day Records label back in 2002. “I’m a big Bob Seger fan — who isn’t? — and I started to think, ‘Wouldn’t you like to hear ‘Hollywood Nights’ in bluegrass style?’

“So it’s an idea that was floating around a little while. Finally, around 2012, I said: ‘I’m gonna try it. I’m gonna put some arrangements together’ and I had some players and we got started.”

And while it took a dozen years — analogous to the long process the Detroit rock hero often took in making his own albums — “Silver Bullet Bluegrass: An All-Star Tribute to Bob Seger” is set to come out July 12.

The set features 13 Seger songs, recorded at studios in Booneville, Kentucky, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Seger made his “Beautiful Loser” album and worked on parts of the subsequent “Night Moves,” “Stranger in Town” and “Against the Wind” releases. “Silver Bullet Bluegrass” features vocalists such as “American Idol” runner-up Bo Bice performing “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” former Drive-By Truckers member Shonna Tucker singing “Hollywood Nights,” the Steeldrivers’ Gary Nichols taking on “Turn the Page,” “The Voice” finalist Carson Peters delivering “Long Twin Silver Line” and more.

The album is fortified by a corps of first-call players, including Nichols on guitar and Peters on fiddle, as well as highly credentialed musicians such as Larry Cordle, Richard Bennett, Shawn Brock, Tim Crouch, Megan Lynch, Tammy Rogers, Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section alumnus David Hood on bass and many others.

“They’re just good songs — I don’t know any other way than that to describe ’em,” says Deaton, who also owns and operates the Lake Fanny Hooe Resort and Campground in Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula — a business he came across when a family driving trip to California followed the route taken by Seger in his song “Roll Me Away,” covered on the album by Bill Taylor.

“I think that’s why they transpose to bluegrass so well,” Deaton continues. “It goes back to that whole three chords and the truth. These songs are just so comfortable in the melodies; you can sit down and play ’em with a guitar, just by yourself, and they sound good. If you’re at a restaurant or a ballgame and a Bob Seger song comes on, it just makes you feel good.”

After some initial sessions — “Main Street” with Josh Shilling was the first track recorded — Deaton put the “Silver Bullet Bluegrass” project aside for a number of reasons, including his own burn-out within the music industry and the demands of running the resort. During a chance meeting with Nichols at a festival in Kentucky, however, the singer suggested Deaton do some work in Muscle Shoals and introduced him to recording engineer Jimmy Nutt, whose The NuttHouse Recording Studio became a home for the sessions.

It was Nutt who also brought David Hood into the album to play on “Night Moves,” connecting the tribute to Seger’s best-selling recordings.

“Finally in 2002, I got with Jimmy and I said, ‘What do you think up finishing up this record?'” Deaton recalls. “He said, ‘Yeah, alright, let’s do it.’ We had it about 90 percent done … and they were just too good to keep hidden anymore. We had a couple tracks to still get vocals on, so we started working on it. I went down to Jimmy’s studio in February of 2023 with Carson Peters and started the process of wrapping it up, and here we are now.”

While the recordings stay melodically faithful to Seger’s originals, Deaton enjoyed the opportunity to use the instrumentation to take the song in different directions. “Betty Lou’s Getting’ Out Tonight,” for instance, gets a honky tonk treatment behind Ward Hayden’s vocals, while “You’ll Accomp’ny Me” is more upbeat, with a two-step flavor. Fiddle substitutes for the original guitar lick on “Main Street,” and dobro subs for saxophone on “Turn the Page.”

“One of the harder songs to pull off, I thought, was ‘We’ve Got Tonite,'” Deaton says of the elegiac, emotionally complex ballad that was a Top 15 hit for Seger in 1978. “It relies so much on the vocal. It’s definitely out of the norm for your typical bluegrass ensemble. It still has your typical acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, upright bass and fiddle, but it had to bring the same kind of support as you’d get with orchestrations for a big power ballad kind of thing. It was tricky.”

Deaton and company did record one other song, a rendition of “The Answer’s The Question” from his 2006 album “Face the Promise,” but ultimately, Deaton said, “it didn’t hit me like it was gonna work out.”

Deaton obtained all the necessary licenses for “Silver Bullet Bluegrass,” but has had no contact with the Seger camp during the process. He knows some Nashville players who have worked with Seger over the years, including Jim “Moose” Brown from the final Silver Bullet Band roster, but the connections have been indirect, and Deaton notes he’s “never crossed paths with any of the Seger guys.”

But he’s still happy to be putting some more Seger music into the world while its creator has been largely out of sight since his final concert on Nov. 1, 2019.

“My roots are country, but I think (Seger) crosses over a lot of genres,” Deaton says. “It’s timeless music, timeless songs. This is just putting them in a different kind of setting that I think works really well. I’m really proud of it, and … I hope if he hears it, he’ll like it, too.”

Theatre and live music hold a special place in the hearts of Petersburgers, and the city is justifiably proud of its rich theatrical traditions - its world famous school of ballet, its ground-breaking innovations in drama, and the magnificent 19th century buildings that house its most famous theatres.

Built for the Imperial Directorate of Theatres, the neoclassical buildings of the Mariinsky and Alexandrisnky Theatres in particular became the prototypes for theatres in cities throughout Russia. Then, in the Soviet Union, theatres, concert halls, and Houses of Culture were often at the forefront of architectural development, and in St. Petersburg they include some of the city's finest examples of constructivism and late Soviet architecture.
