E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg recalls what went into his preparations for the River Tour, where Bruce Springsteen and company will be performing their 1980 album in full. “I listened quite a bit to The River before the tour,” he told Rolling Stone. “I was playing a lot of drums on that record. Through the years, particularly when we got into stadiums, I streamlined a lot of stuff. As a drummer, you have to make the parts more direct, eliminate things. But I’ve injected some of that youthful, manic energy back into these renditions. The outtakes from The River – I hadn’t heard them in a while. They brought me back.” “We will certainly be ready for anything – which is the hallmark of the E Street Band and the most precious thing about it. I love the set pieces in a show like this. You get into a frame of mind – the totality of the narrative, these characters. It’s different from playing different songs every night. On the last tour, we’d play 25, 26 songs and 15 of those would be ‘audibles.’ You never know what was coming.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
