The E Street Cafe Podcast

Meet Michael Waldman, who saw Bruce Springsteen around 50 times in 1974 and 1975. Yes, you read that right. Michael joins Jeff in the cafe to discuss his early memories of seeing Bruce in concert over 50 years ago and how a chance listening to '4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)' one day in college changed his life forever.

Our intrepid trio get together over coffee and treats from the cafe to discuss the mega month that was October. The 'Electric Nebraska' box set (or whatever you want to call it) and the biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' come under the scrutiny of Mikipedia, Dan and Jeff.Rosie keeps our hosts well watered during their deep(ish) dive into the two releases.
