JAM MEDLEY / THE PROMISED LAND
A truly unique moment in Springsteen history. In Dec 2002 young Michael Antrim had submitted a painting of Springsteen as part of a Freehold Library Art Contest – his submission won the best-in-show award. Springsteen only belatedly found out about it (and that Michael had always wanted the item autographed). So Bruce went over to the family home alone to sign it. Once inside Bruce learned that Michael was a budding guitarist and that Michael had an acoustic and an electric guitar handy – so Bruce said “let’s play”. The two jammed in the living room and Bruce also gave a solo rendition of “The Promised Land”. All up Bruce spent about 90-minutes at the home.
“Bruce jamming with 17yr old Michael Antrim in the Antrim family home on June 29, 2004”.

Holiday Shows. Bruce Springsteen & Friends Performing two (2) shows; one at 4:30pm and another at 8:30pm. Speakers were set up outside the venue for the massed crowds - who despite the weather were treated to two fantastic shows. During the early show, Bruce introduced Talk to Me by saying that this is one he wrote for Southside but Southside Johnny didn't play or sing during that song. This is the premiere of this track with Bruce only singing. Thanks to all who contacted with corrections. Early show is available from several source tapes and circulates on CDR. Late show has recently surfaced on the Uber series #31 and readily circulates now.
