I forgot all about this story !

Funny combo- to say the least !


http://www.springsteenlyrics.com/lyrics/c/cometogether.php

Bruce Springsteen was among the attendee of the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame induction on 20 Jan 1994 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City, NY. In celebration of John Lennon's induction as a solo artist, COME TOGETHER was planned to be performed by Elton John and Rod Stewart, but the latter didn't make the event because of an earthquake that hit Los Angeles shortly before the event. According to Brucebase, while Bob Weir, John Popper, and others were performing onstage, the production personnel approached Bruce with a lyrics sheet to COME TOGETHER. Bruce politely refused, repeatedly. The producers then asked Guns N' Roses front-man Axl Rose who was at the next table. Axl agreed and then pulled up a chair next to Bruce. After a minute or two of conversation, Axl put the lyrics on the table and Bruce and Axl hovered over the paper for a few minutes. When the stage was cleared, Bruce and Axl got up, walked onto the stage, and rocked. No rehearsal. No practice. Amazing to witness.



heres the video from youtube :



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUF3U7pH5Xs


gotta love the comments on youtube- almost as funny as this strange duo combination .

PBS WON'T LET YOU BE LONELY TONIGHT

The MusiCares "Person of the Year" Tribute to James Taylor, which Springsteen played in February (and which was recently issued on DVD), will be airing on tellyvision, gratis, beginning tonight on PBS. "Bruce's version of 'Millworker' was a completely new and different take," Taylor recently said, "much more intense, pointing out the aspect that had to do with workers' conditions." The broadcast of A Tribute to James Taylor is part of PBS's Great Performances series; check local listings ( http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/broadcast/schedule_airdates.html ) for when you can catch it.

K2 From Greasy Lake...

"Now that the most recent 'tour' has concluded, it looks like the following is in store for the next year and beyond:

1) Beginning sometime at the beginning of 2007, look for the beginning of a new ESB record to be recorded. As has been mentioned a number of times, the amount of material that has been written over the last year or so is quite extensive. Look for a number of ESB 'worthy' songs to be the focus of the recording session. If the recording meets with satisfaction;
2) Look for a new ESB tour to begin sometime during mid to fall 2007. Although illness has been overcome and hips have been replaced, look for this to be the last ESB tour. At present, this may go for approximately 18 months, at least;
3) Look for additional recorded material/videos to come to the market at regular intervals. Having learned from the D&D video recording catasrophe of the two shows in Boston during 10/2005, which have mercifully been scrapped, the content of the SSB concerts recently taped in Ireland will result in a concert DVD and CD;
4) Work on an additional Tracks/Outtakes compilation continues. This is being treated more as a hobby than an active project, but it will see the light sometime in the future;
5) After the next and last ESB Tour, look for additional CD(s) and tour(s) with at least some members of the SSB. During this last tour, a number of songs were written which have been determined to be perfect for this latest band. It is anticipated that at least some members of this band will form a core group which will be used to record and tour in the future.

During the SSB Tour, discussions concerning "the home stretch" took off. The priority was determined to be the ESB and the hope and desire is that in the breadth of work written during the D&D tour and the latest tour, that a core group of songs for the ESB to record and tour with exists and that this will become evident during the recording sessions in January 2007. Obviously, if what comes out in the recording sessions is not met with approval, this will throw off all of these plans. To note, members of the ESB have prepared both physically and with their schedules for this last ESB Tour.

Although these are the plans at present, what is interesting is the talk and planning for after the ESB. The desire to record and tour with another band, as well as another anticipated acoustic tour, are very likely. Looks like this forum will have a lot of activity to discuss for at least the next five years. Amazing what a new recording contract will do
