Even uit m'n hoofd; volgens mij lukt het om via je NL account ook in andere landen bij Ticketmaster kaartjes te kopen. Ik zal het eens navragen aan m'n vrouw, aangezien die dat altijd regelt

Dat is dus precies wat ik ook ga doen. Om de één of andere reden ben ik dus nog nooit in Berlijn geweest. Staat al weet niet hoe lang op m'n 'to do list' maar tot op heden nooit van gekomen. En ook al lees ik dat er inmiddels veel verloren is gegaan van het oude Berlijn, toch lijkt het me indrukwekkend om er rond te kijken. Verder heb ik Frankfurt en Lille aangevinkt om naartoe te gaan.

Zeker, ik twijfel over Berlijn, met wat dagen erbij voor sightseeing

Mooie locatie en Berlijn is indrukwekkend. Ik heb Springsteen nooit gezien. Ik denk dat ik ook ga. Interessant om te zien is ook de Sowjetisches Ehrenmal.

In early 1994 Springsteen was forced to relocate his Los Angeles home studio after the January 1994 Northridge earthquake rendered his home unlivable. Toby Scott rented a house in the city, and the two recorded a number of songs together, with Springsteen on all instruments and Scott programming drums and loops. The songs were mixed by Bob Clearmountain and an official release was considered, but ultimately rejected by Springsteen:

"There's a record that we recorded, mixed and didn't put out," Springsteen said on E Street Radio in 2013. "Bob Clearmountain mixed it, spent a lot of time on it… didn't put it out. That was, like, '94. And it still intrigues me. I still go back to it. There are still things on it that I really like, and I may go back to sort of say, 'Okay, well, why…?' Sometimes it's timing, you know. There was a particular reason that I didn't put out that group of music. Sometimes the timing just doesn't feel right for that kind of record."

This unreleased album has long been coined by fans as Springsteen's lost "hip-hop"-influenced album. Only one song from this project has ever been issued, "Missing", which was on the soundtrack to Sean Penn's 1995 movie The Crossing Guard. However, three other titles are known to have been recorded during this period, "Nothing Man" (which was re-recorded in 2002 for The Rising), "Blind Spot", and "Between Heaven And Earth". See the details below for more information on these songs.

In late 1993 and again in mid-1994 Springsteen and Joe Grushecky collaborated for songwriting sessions which yielded several songs, which in turn led to Springsteen agreeing to produce Grushecky's next album. The core of Grushecky's American Babylon album sessions took place during September–October 1994 and the album was completed and in the can by November 1994. However, due to contractual delays, the American Babylon album (which contains two of their 1993–4 songwriting collaborations) was not released until October 1995.

During October–December 1994 Springsteen recorded seven or eight new songs utilizing a three-man backup band consisting of 1992–93 tour band members Shane Fontayne (guitar), Tommy Sims (bass), and Zach Alford (drums). None of this material has yet leaked out. Fontayne has mentioned the sessions in interviews and noted the working title of the album was Waiting On The End Of The World. However, these sessions seem to have given way to a surprise decision to reconvene the E Street Band in conjunction with a related decision to release a Greatest Hits anthology during the early months of 1995.

In January 1995, Springsteen assembled the entire E Street Band (including alumnus Little Steven) together in New York for about ten days of studio sessions. Although Springsteen had utilized individual band members in the studio since 1987, this was seemingly the first time the E Street Band had worked together in the studio since March 1984 (a point Nils Lofgren has since confirmed in an interview). It is believed that most of the new compositions recorded at this "reunion" session had already been recorded at sessions with non-E Street Band musicians during 1994.

Germ: ik meen dat (uitgebrachte) nummers als Secret Garden en Missing daar ook voor bedoeld waren, de werktitel van dat album was (geloof ik) Waiting on the End of the World. Wellicht dat er iets van uit zal komen op Tracks 2, dat al wat jaartjes in de planning staat?

Missing: (niet te verwarren met You're Missing, dat op The Rising staat)

(embed)

Nothing Man, dat op The Rising staat, zou in een andere/vroege versie, ook voor dat 1994 album in de running zijn geweest.

Al met al altijd een interessante, ietwat experimentele periode in Bruce's carrière gevonden, vlak erna ging ie weer in weer met de E-Street Band natuurlijk.
