Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Greetings from E Street, by Robert Santelli, is the first and only collective biography of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band written with participation from its members by a long-time intimate. In an illustrated interactive format, it celebrates the life and work of one of the world's best-loved bands. Over 200 photos, documents, handwritten notes, and souvenirs join tour stories, reminiscences, and little-known facts to give readers a full picture of one of the most iconic bands, and musicians, in American rock music. Rock journalist Bob Santelli begins the tale in 1960s New Jersey with the teen bands whose members--such as Danny Federici--would go on to work with Bruce, and illuminates milestones such as the founding of the band in 1972 (bringing in members such as Clarence Clemons and Garry Tallent), their first taste of superstardom with Born to Run in 1975 (with Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan now on board), their worldwide hit Born in the USA in 1984 (and a sold-out tour featuring Nils Lofgren, and Patti Scialfa), and their marathon tour of 1999-2000 (now with Steve van Zandt and Soozie Tyrell). Packed with rare and never-before-seen mementos and new stories, Greetings from E Street is a must for fans of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Greetings from E Street will be published in October 2006 by Chronicle Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well as soon as I finish the insanely long "The Beatles" by Bob Spitz, I'll have to go out and buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
