SpringBREAKsteen 2010
Now I know this seems a long way off but it comes around fast believe me!
According to Landau (a fan spoke to him at a recent Euro gig) Bruce is having a quiet year next year. This will be a good time for a full-on SpringBREAKsteen.
I'd suggest holding it at NY Nick's. As he said, he has the venue and an entertainments budget.
Obviously I'd be up for performing. But to make it really special I'd suggest getting Vini and Steel Mill to come down and play. I performed on the same bill at a Euro convention in Rotterdam and they were great.
I also did a 90 minute interview/Q & A with both Vini and Tinker West. This was the highlight for many fans. Vini remembers everything is happy to talk about it. He's a kick ass drummer and a great guy.
Steel Mill also have a new album out this year of all-Bruce songs from Steel Mill.
And I'm quite sure he'd jump up on stage with me again to perform a couple of classic Bruce songs from his era.
It's just a thought. I'm just throwing it out. But if between now and the end of the year you want to get the ball rolling on this I can e-mail Vini and take it from there.
I miss you all!

as if I'd miss a Mark Wright show in the US.....!!! :rofl:
--- Bruce was apparently as excited as the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I've had an erection lasting more than four hours — I should get to the emergency room. But first!..."

Re: SpringBREAKsteen 2010
Hey Nick
Great to hear you'd be up for it.
We'll know pretty soon whether it'll be a quiet year. All signs indicate it will be.
With Vini involved we could make this the event it was going to be originally. But as we all know each other and I consider Vini to now be a friend of mine this could be the event of the year!
We'd need Lemongras and Tim of course.
I'll give him a shout and see if he's up for it.

Re: SpringBREAKsteen 2010
Ok.
I've been in touch with Vini and he and Steel Mill are up for it.
So start thinking about next April as a possible time.
This will be a big one folks!

Re: SpringBREAKsteen 2010
ok guys--i know alot of us are thinking BRUCE on tour and getting to as many shows as possible (saratoga) for my 50th b-day--
but it looks like MARK WRIGHT is already getting the ball rolling for a SPRINGBREAKSTEEN '2010.
here is the latest e-mail--
Hiya Nick
I just got an e-mail from Vini and he's up for a SpringBREAKsteen 2010 at NY
Nicks. With a 2nd album of Springsteen originals they've now got a healthy
catalog of previously unreleased Springsteen songs.
I reckon we could make it a 2 day event.
It could feature:
* Q&A/Interview with Vini on the Sat, Tinker West on the Sun.
* No more than 4 or 5 live acts each day with Steel Mill headlining both days.
* Sunday can include a 'Songwriters In The Round' where we all play a
Springsteen song explaining why we like it and what it means to us.
* Sunday culminating in an 'all-star' jam of all the musicians.
* Bruce karaoke!!!
* Maybe invite Chris Phillips of Backstreets as a guest?
* The King Sings The Boss!!! - in my other life as an Elvis impersonator I
performed a whole set of Bruce songs as Elvis at a recent fan-club event in
London. It went down great! We should do it!
* Charity auction for the Danny Melanoma fund.
Anyways, there are some ideas for you to chew over.
With the right amount of lead time and build up I think we could make it a real
big event. I had a hand in the Dutch convention. It really worked well and the
fans got a real insight into Springsteen and his music.
Give me an e-mail on [email protected] and we can start to pencil in
some things.
Hope you're well and having fun!
Catch you soon
Mark
this looks like the big one we've been hoping for--
i need input cuz this is for all of us !!!!!!!
way to go mark !!!

Re: SpringBREAKsteen 2010
With Vini's recent appearance with Bruce at The Spectrum he's got even more stories to tell!
Steel Mill will be hitting the road in 2010 so it'd be good to arrange a special SpringBREAKsteen. We should start planning this in the next month or so really.
Cheers
Mark
