November 11, 2006. (Essexboy Taper) ====== NOTES: November 9, 2006 Birmingham (Discs 1-2): "As the tour returns to UK shores, the main set remains the same as the previous show in Antwerp. But we haven't heard anyone complain, certainly not about that new "Blinded By the Light" opener. And shaking things up at set's end was a special guest appearance by E Streeter Nils Lofgren. Nils, currently touring in the UK, joined in the fun on "Pay Me My Money Down." The encore extended to six songs, with an impromptu "Froggie Went A Courtin'." - backstreets November 12, 2006 London (Discs 3-4): "Night two of two in London, maybe even better than night one. Less political commentary, but another incredibly strong performance, with a less reserved crowd and an extremely energized Bruce and band taking the whole thing higher and higher. Numerous setlist changes from Saturday night, of course -- "John Henry" returns, "Dan Tucker" steps out -- most remarkable being the number of Bruce originals. Four of the first five songs came from the Springsteen songbook, including the tour debut of "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" with a Seeger Sessions spin; in all, there were 11 Bruce songs in the mix. Once again they followed the standard show closer "American Land" with a bonus track, tonight's being the rarity "Man on the Flying Trapeze." Springsteen intro'd the song with a bit of the song's history he gleaned from Google, including the origin of the leotard... and told the crowd, "An epic story, and tragic, too. Feel free to bust out and sing along -- that's what folk music is all about!" - backstreets Bonus tracks (November 11, 2006 London): The more 'rare' tracks selected from the first London show (completely edited also) including the 'work in progress'. ======= Probably the only Seeger 'tour' Ev2 release.
