FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)

Live 17 Nov 2006 version



Cindy Mizelle:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
Meet you further on up the road

Bruce Springsteen:Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is cocked and the bullet's cold
The miles are marked in blood and gold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Bruce Springsteen and all:Further up the road, further up the road
Meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
Meet you further on up the road

Marc Anthony Thompson:Got on my dead man's suit and smilin' skull ring
Graveyard boots and a song to sing
A song to sing to keep me out of the cold
I'll meet you further on down the road

Marc Anthony Thompson and all:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
Meet you further on up the road

Bruce Springsteen:Now I been out in the desert, yeah, doin' my time
Searching through the dust for a sign
If there's a light, brother I don't know
I'll meet you further on up the road

Bruce Springsteen and all:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Marc Anthony Thompson:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Lisa Lowell:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
Meet you further on up the road

Frank Bruno:Further up the road, further up the road
I'll meet you further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold
I'll meet you further on up the road

Patti Scialfa:Further up the road, further up the road
Meet you further on up the road
Where the day is dark and the night is cold
Meet you further on up the road

Bruce Springsteen and all:Further up the road, further up the road
Meet you further on up the road
One sunny morning we'll rise I know
I'll meet you further on up the road

Live In Dublin

At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.

Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
