Show Notes
On this episode of the podcast, I’ve a friend of mine on who goes by the name of Lilbud.
How we know each other is through a Bruce Springsteen discord server. It’s essentially a chat room where you can discuss all things Bruce, no matter what age you are, and I’ll put a link to it below. It’s a great community on there!:
In this episode, we discuss what Lilbud has done for the Bruce community such as his bootleg archive, ‘Radio Nowhere’, his Bruce wiki site similar to BruceBase, ‘DataBruce’, and the E Street Shuffle site that he has taken over from Ken Rosen. We also discuss and geek out over what is potentially left in the vault, the archive series and bootlegs. I hope you enjoy!

On this episode of the podcast, I discuss Barcelona 2002 with someone who was actually in attendance at the show, Emilio Cabanas. The Barcelona show happened 24 years ago this week and a brand new recording of the show was released of the show into the archive series on Nugs this month. We discuss the show as a whole, the dvd, the new mix on the new Nugs release and more. English is not Emilio’s first language so I really appreciate him coming on to talk about the show!
On this episode of my podcast, I have Rob and JB on from Springsteen Sings The Alphabet. Once I found out they were bringing back their podcast after a few years long hiatus, I thought they would be 2 great guests to have on, and after a few weeks of planning and scheduling, I was finally able to get them on. We have a great chat about how they know each other, how their podcast began, how they were introduced to Bruce and more, along with Tracks 2 and Electric Nebraska. I’m planning another episode with Rob and JB before Christmas, so stay tuned!
In this episode of the podcast, I recap the Power to the People Festival with my Bruce friend, Kyle C, who was in attendance at the festival with some mutual friends. I know Kyle through the Bruce Springsteen discord and I’ll attach a link to that below. We also have a brief discussion as to how Kyle got into Bruce and and talk about the two shows we attended together on the LOHAD American tour in Belmont & Philadelphia. At the end, I ask him the questionnaire.
On this episode of the podcast, I’ve a good buddy of mine on, Marcos Cabanas. We have known each other for a few years and we first met in person at Bruce’s show in Amsterdam in 2023, which we attended together, and we speak about that, how he got into Bruce (being a similar age to myself), along with the Madrid 2024 shows & The San Sebastián shows in 2025. Marcos is a musician himself, so we discuss that, and he has actually done some work with E Street Band members, which is very cool and we talk about that. Marcos came up with a fun idea for the podcast, which I will do with guests from now on, ask a questionnaire, similar to the Stephen Colbert Questionnaire that he used to do on his Late Show, so I ask him some fun/tough questions towards the end.
In this episode, my friends Tim, Sean & I discuss The Rising and how it made Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen again. The 3 of us are in our 20’s and while 2 of us were very young when 9/11 happened & when the Rising was released, and one of us wasn’t even born, The Rising is one our favourite Springsteen albums and one of his most significant in our opinion. In this podcast, we also do a track by track review of every song on the album. I hope you enjoy it!
