NEW YORK (By
Louise Bashi/ AOL) - In an unprecedented move for
Bruce Springsteen and AOL
Music (https://www.aolmusic.com), the online music destination will offer an exclusive video performance from every single stop on Springsteen's just-launched North American tour with the Seeger Sessions Band. The morning after each concert, one hand-picked song from the show will be presented on AOL
Music along with photos, set lists, recaps and more, enhanced by the "voice of the fans," Backstreets.com.
Springsteen's five-week North American tour kicked off Sunday night in Boston, and today on AOL(R) Music, fans can watch "John Henry", "Erie Canal", "O Mary Don't You Weep" and "Old Dan Tucker" from shows in Boston, MA, Washington D.C., Columbus, OH and Indianapolis, IN respectively. By the morning after the tour's closing-night homecoming concert in Holmdel, NJ on June 25, some 18 different performances will be compiled and available on demand at AOL Music.
"For Springsteen fans like myself, the opportunity to watch highlights from every single show on the tour is almost too good to be true," said Erik Flannigan, VP & GM of AOL Music.
"We are positively thrilled to be opening this unique window into the Seeger Sessions tour on AOL Music and to once again bring free on-demand live performances to the online audience."
Columbia Records recently released Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, which featured his personal interpretations of thirteen traditional songs associated with the legendary guiding light of American folk music, Pete Seeger. Bruce Springsteen made his performance debut with the Seeger Sessions Band at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 30, eliciting rave reviews.
"Sometime, somewhere, a more dramatic and exhilarating confluence of music with moment may have existed... But in nearly 40 years of concert-going, I haven't witnessed one," the Los Angeles Times raved about his performance at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
The tour will hit Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and, of course, New Jersey, among other markets.
