Ingen som åker över till NYC redan nästa vecka? Elvis Costello spelar in nya avsnitt till sin tv show och
på fredag är det Bruce tur att vara med.
Fick detta mejl från Backstreets igår ang. utlottning av biljetter från dem.


Bruce to join Elvis Costello on Spectacle
Backstreets contest will get 100 lucky fans inside

Big news: as Elvis Costello begins taping episodes for another season of SPECTACLE, his hit talk/music show on the Sundance Channel, it's just been announced that Bruce Springsteen will be one of his guests for Season Two.

SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH... fuses the best elements of talk and music television and invites viewers to enjoy an intimate conversation between the host and his guests, punctuated by rare musical performances by Costello, his guests, and a wide variety of musicians. Season One guests included Sir Elton John, Tony Bennett, John Mellencamp, The Police and President Bill Clinton.

The Springsteen episode tapes a week from tonight, next Friday evening, September 25, when Bruce will join Elvis on stage in front of a live audience in New York City, just two days after his 60th birthday. This isn't a concert, per se -- Costello's show focuses as much or more on talk as it does on music. It should be a special evening, the sort of thing we, as fans, have never seen before.

And more big news: Backstreets is helping get fans in the door.

We'll have 100 tickets to give away to fans who would like to be part of the audience for this special, one-time-only event, to be awarded by random drawing.

Goda nyheter.
När anländer dessa avsnitt till svensk television tro?

[Asok]

Första säsongen sändes väl under våren i år om jag minns rätt, så nån gång nästa vår kanske?
om den börjar sändas sent i höst i USA/UK vill säga som första säsongen.

[Froggy_Darling]

Underbart! Jag älskade det programmet när de i princip bara satt och nördsnackade som att det var en slump att det satt en publik framför dom.

[Southside Robban]

No fuckin' wonder att dagens Bruce platsar i det primadonna programmet! Hör redan härifrån Bruces låtsas- självironiska och trötta skratt till sina eviga bohem stories!

Kan knappt tänka mig att fantastiska Johnny Van Zant kommer att bli bjuden då årets skiva släpps den 29 september!

Lyssna på Lynyrd Skynyrds single "Still unbroken" om ni får tillfälle! Det är annat än den eviga Costello storyn om fega nördar som inte vågar föreslå sex till brudar!

Jag kan tänka mig att SVT kör säsong 2 nästa sommar, de brukar göra en sommartradition av vissa serier och har en känsla att Costelloshown passar in i det tänket, SVT är specialister på att gömma undan det mest sevärda och visar det när folk har som minst mölighet att se det, som tur är finns SVT play numera så man missar inget väsentligt längre

Den borde väl rimligtvis dyka upp nånstans på nätet innan den visas på SVT.

Nu är lotteriet klart och jag har inte fått något mail. Men då får jag se Gary U.S. Bonds på Stony Pony istället.
Honom har jag ju inte sett tidigare. Både kungen och Bruce har jag ju sett tidigare. Så kommer det ju i TV ändå.
Konserten på Stone Pony gör inte det.

Per som idag på jobbet lyssnat på Bruce hela tiden, utan att välja det. Ganska ofta brukar nätkanalen drrock stå på, och idag, p g a födelsedagen spelar de 4 timmar nonstop Bruce.

Trevlig rapport från Stan på btx om detta, lägger in det i en spoiler-tagg ifall det finns några som vill hålla sig tills den dagen det visas på tv.

Incredible night, it was a privilege to be there. My first time at the Apollo Theater, it is a beautiful venue and the acoustics are perfect. Show began right around 8 p.m. I'd rank it right up there with the first night at Sommerville, Mass., - the benefit for Doubletake Magazine - in February of 2003, as far as Bruce opening up and hearing stories about his songs, music, life etc. Bruce sometimes isn't the best interview, but tonight, for the most part, he was very comfortable and told a lot of great stories, At other times things did slow up a bit and got a little too much talking, but in a three-hour-and-45-minute show you will have that. Musical highlights: Point Blank by Elvis Costello Like Rain by Nils Lofgren Wild Billy's Cirus Story by Bruce, Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan (who played the accordion). A little of The River by Bruce 41 Shots by Bruce Galveston Bay by Bruce Brilliant Disguise by Elvis Black Ladder - a Patti Scialfa song which was done by Elvis, Bruce and Nils I Can't Stand Up for Fallilng Down (Sam and Dave song) Pretty Woman - Although it was stopped about midway through by Bruce. The Rising by Bruce, Nils, Roy, Elvis and the Imposters, Seeds by the same group. Radio Nowhere/Radio Radio medley by all I emptied out my notebook of most everything I wrote down. It's very long and just a summary of what Bruce and Elvis Costello talked about. It's 3:45 a.m. as I write this, so please excuse any typos. Show began at 8 p.m. with Elvis coming out, talking about the series of shows he's been doing and "they've been beyond my imagination. I'm having the time of my life doing these." He then brought out the Imposters and they played "Point Blank." It was very well done. Nils Lofgren came out. Elvis said he remembered when Nils opened for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in London. They performed Nils' song "Like Rain." Nils said how he's been fortunate to be playing for 41 years in a row. Elvis brought Bruce out around 8:30 p.m. He was wearing a black sport jacket, which he later took off. Bruce sat down on a stool with Elvis and it was just the two of them, Bruce held a guitar in his hands, I've seem him do this in past inteviews lately, he seems much more comfortable holding a guitar while doing an interview. What followed, may have been the best interview I've ever seen Bruce do. Maybe because it was a fellow musician or just the questions were better, but Bruce really opened up about his early bands, Asbury Park and a lot of other things. Some highlights: Bruce said that No music industry types came to the Jersey Shore to find bands. "It was in its own wilderness in the late 1960s early 1970s. Asbury Park was like a low rent Fort Lauderdale." "Bars, cars, girls were the things I wrote about." He told Elvis he had only been to New York City one time before he was 15 and that's when his mother took him to see the circus. The bars at the Jersey Shore catered to top 40 bands in that era and you could get beaten up for being in a band. Elvis talked about the Stone Pony, how he had played there "the night before I nearly ended my career" when he appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1977. And how his bass player was named Bruce and when he introduced him "as the future of rock and roll bass players" people booed him at the Stone Pony. Bruce talked about how he's lived locally (Jersey Shore) for most of his life, and pre Internet it was pretty easy. He could go out to a bar and make a fool of himself, He was out of the tabloids and could have a normal life. He said he felt some of his heroes have lost their own history. He didn't want to do that, but also "being paranoid and having stardom" were good things. Elvis talked about when Bruce first played London in 1975 and all the hype "about the future of rock and roll" "I kind of like the way it sounded," said Bruce. "But I might be in a shit-load of trouble also." He talked about playing in Asbury Park in the early 1970s and that they weren't a top-40 cover band. Bruce said he and Steve Van Zandt went to all the bars in Asbury Park ("we went from one end of the town to the other') trying to find a place where they could play. They finally found The Student Prince which was run by a guy from Freehold. They would charge $1 at the door and keep it. The first week they had 20 people, the next week 30 people and it started to grow. Bruce talked about his voice, saying the first band he was in wouldn't let him sing at all. But then he realized he had to make it with his voice and his guitar. Elvis mentioned some other singer, songwriters - John Prine, Loudon Wainwright and Bruce added Elliott Murphy who had some success in the 1970s. The conversation then came around to the circus and Bruce said how he had seen the Clyde-Beatty Cole Circus in Freehold (near the racetrack) when he was a child. "At the circus there were things you were interested in and you saw some things that you weren't supposed to see. Talked about his mother paid 50 cents so he could see a giant in the circus sideshow. "he had this huge hand and you could take the ring off his finger and put it back on. "I was both thrilled and frightened by the sideshow." Roy Bittan and Nils came onstage to join Bruce in a great "Wild Billy's Circus Story." Bruce said there was a "sexual awareness" to the circus also. The topic came back to Asbury Park and Bruce said how the town is in the middle of a resurgence. "It's been fabulous down there on Friday and Satruday nights recently." He said he was in Asbury Park recently with a friend (Sept. 5) and they decided they were going to stop and have a beer at every place from one end of the boardwalk to the other. Also talked about Madam Marie's fortune-telling stand still being open and that her daughter does the readings now. Then Elvis made a comment, I can't remember the exact words, how Bruce was able to do that these days, to just walk the Asbury Park boardwalk and Bruce's response was "I'm not sure that's the point." He then said how Asbury Park is a great place right now with a lot of different cultures. Elvis mentioned how Bruce came to see him play at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, N.J., one night in 1977. The conversation then turned to Darkness on the Edge of Town and Bruce said "people didn't take to it right away. It was three years after Born To Run" and Bruce mentioned how Elvis was once quoted saying "the songs on Born To Run were too romantic." Elvis said: "Ah, you've been waiting 30 years for this moment to say that to me." Conversation went back to Freehold, Bruce said it was a real blue collar town. "These are the people I'm conecting to. I wanted to be about something." He said that Born To Run only had one outake and other albums have tons of outakes. "He said he was elated and embarrassed by his success" at ages 25-28 after Born to Run. Also said everything he writes "is about identity, identity, identity." "My music has been about who am I? Where do I belong?" He and Elvis joked that rock and roll musicians have to be desperate at times. "You have to have something bothering you all the time," Bruce said. He said on the River he "wanted to write songs that were exciting." He talked about seeing The Ramones play in Asbury Park at the Fast Lane in 1979 and how they asked him to write a song for them. He wrote Hungry Heart but Jon Landau told him "We're not giving that one away." Conversation came around to the song "41 Shots" and Bruce explained the background on it. He said he "had lost some of his focus on how to write for the E Street Band" during the 10 years he wasn't with them. "I wasn't sure if I had songs for them" but that Land of Hope and Dreams "at the beginning of the tour" and "41 Shots" at the end of the tour were songs he wrote to do with the E Street Band. He talked about performing "41 Shots" for the first time in Atlanta in June of 2000 and then the reaction it got in the New York newspapers. He remembers being called a "dirtbag" and a "floating fag." He knew what a "dirtbag" was but he had to look up "floating fag" to try to figure out what that meant. Bruce played a beautiful acoustic version of "41 Shots." Nebraska was discussed and Bruce said how it came about by accident. He was watching some movies at the time, "True Confessions" was one of them which influenced the album. He said there was even some discussion of releasing "Nebraska" and "Born In the U.S.A" at the same time so the fans could have an acoustic album and and a rock album. Bruce then performed "Gavelston Bay" from the "Ghost of Tom Joad Album." Elvis asked him about liking comedy and Bruce said "Steve and I are like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis." Elvis asked "which one are you?" and Bruce said he wasn't sure Next, Elvis talked about how much he enjoyed doing Roy Orbison's Black and White Night and that he still gets asked about it constantly because it's played on TV so much. Bruce talked about it a bit also. They talked a little bit about the Apollo Theatre and Bruce said he had never been there before. Conversation came around to Sam and Dave, Bruce said he saw them at the Satellite Lounge near Fort Dix, N.J. and also one night (1980) at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park and that night "there were only around 100 people in the place." He said how Sam Moore was one of the best band leaders he's seen and both Bruce and Elvis discussed how they were so special and there may have been times when Sam and Dave weren't even talking to one another. They then did a great "I can't Stand Up For Falling Down" There was about a 10-minute intermission at 10:25 p.m and many thought the show was over before they told everyone it was just an intermission. Bruce told a dirty joke which got some laughs from the crowd. It wasn't too bad. The second half of the show began with Elvis talking about Patti Scialfa and how she talks to his wife (Diana Krall) a lot about children and things. Also how Bruce and Patti were able to get Elvis on a horse when he visited Bruce's farm one time. They then did Patti's song "Black Ladder," it was Bruce, Elvis and Nils. Elvis asked Bruce about his children. He said how his youngest son is listening to a lot of classic rock and one night Bruce was watching a DVD of Bob Dylan at the Newport Jazz Festival and his youngest son was very much into watching it with him. One night Bruce heard his youngest son listening to "Chimes of Freedom" and he asked him what he thought about it. "Just epic Dad! Just epic," he said. Said his oldest son was into Rage Against the Machine and had introduced him (Bruce) to the Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion (I think that was the other band). Bruce said how Bob Dylan was the first to give him a true vision of the country. Elvis then talked about and performed an acoustic "Brillilant Disguise" and Bruce clapped for him when it was over. Bruce talked about playing at the Lincoln Memorial this past January and what a thrill it was for him to perform with Pete Seeger. As they finished up the interview, Bruce said "Im tired of talking about me!" And as they broke for a few minutes getting the band and TV ready, Bruce said "Quick before I think of another joke!" They then finished with "The Rising," "Seeds" and the "Radio, Radio/Radio Nowhere" medley. Show was over at 11:47 p.m. clocking in at more than 3:45. Other notes: In the audience were Allen Toussaint and Jesse Malin. Despite being told many times there would be no drop, I believe the whole dropline did get in. There were only about a dozen people in the dropline around 7 p.m. Theater appeared to be full, the lower level definitely was.

Citera

Bruce Springsteen was the guest on Elvis Costello's "Spectacle" last Friday. The taping took place at the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York and lasted nearly four hours. The show (abbreviated to 1 hour) will be broadcast at a later date on the Sundance channel.

Costello interviewed Springsteen for hours, talking about life, social justice, music, old tours and albums, influences, movies and all kinds of things. They reminisced about the Roy Orbison special they contributed to (A Black and White Night), talked about Pete Seeger and Sam & Dave, and had time for some fine musical performances. Springsteen had help from Roy Bittan and Nils Lofgren for most songs, plus Elvis Costello and his band, The Imposters, who opened the session with a very fine version of "Point Blank". Nils Lofgren was the first guest, and sang a duet with Elvis (Nils' "Like Rain"), followed by "She's the One".

Bruce came onstage a bit later, along with Nils and Roy, and surprised with "Wild Billy's Circus Story" (a request from Costello). Next were "American Skin (41 Shots)" and another unexpected surprise: "Galveston Bay". Bruce also sang a beautiful "The River", but was aborted before it ended.

One of the highlights was Costello, Springsteen and The Imposters sharing the stage for a great performance of Sam & Dave's "I Can't Stand Up for Sitting Down", plus a short "Oh Pretty Woman", again left incomplete.

Later on the taping Elvis Costello sang, with Bruce and Nils helping on vocals and guitar, Patti Scialfa's "Black Ladder", plus "Brilliant Disguise". Next Bruce took the lead again, to end the show, along with the full ensemble (Nils, Roy, Elvis and The Imposters), with a brilliant "The Rising", different to the well known version, and sung with passion and intensity, followed by a strong "Seeds" and a final medley formed by Costello's "Radio, Radio" and Bruce's "Radio Nowhere", ending the show just seconds before midnight. In the audience at this special show were Allen Toussaint and Jesse Malin.

SPECTACLE SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED; BRUCE GETS TWO HOURS
As announced today, the second season of Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... begins December 9 with guests Bono and the Edge and will wrap in late January with a two-part spotlight on Springsteen. Last month's taping for Springsteen's appeareance on the show ran a whopping four hours, much of it gold... so it comes as a relief that the whole thing won't be chopped down to just one episode.

Network description: Elvis Costello sits down with Bruce Springsteen for a special two part episode and, with his guitar in hand, he opens up about his pre-E Street Band bands, his early and current inspirations, and the resurgence of New Jersey. E Street Band members Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan sit in for a couple of songs.

"Spectacle: Elvis Costello with Bruce Springsteen, Part 1" will premiere January 20 at 10 p.m.; "Part 2" airs a week later, January 27 at 10 p.m. This is the only time so far that Costello's program has split an artist's appearance over two episodes. Spectacle airs on the Sundance Channel, and on CTV in Canada.

E Street Band members Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan sit in for a couple of songs.

"Spectacle: Elvis Costello with Bruce Springsteen, Part 1" will premiere January 20 at 10 p.m.; "Part 2" airs a week later, January 27 at 10 p.m. This is the only time so far that Costello's program has split an artist's appearance over two episodes. Spectacle airs on the Sundance Channel, and on CTV in Canada.

Är det meningen att man ska göra vågen eller Bruce-bugningar för att detta ska visas på US och Canada TV?

Ok. då är det ju lite mer intressant, helt plötsligt.

Jag skulle inte bli förvånad om vi kan hitta det på Jungleland og Dime också.

Fantastiskt kul att det blir 2 timmar med Bruce! Gillar verkligen Elvis Costello och dessa program han gör.
