Matte is dancing his heart out to Radio Nowhere in the middle of the night.

The web site has enjoyed a much needed face lift. Go check out the Photo-page, to see some pictures taken from the ticket hunt and the Magic Tour in 2007. Keep a look out, because there will be more pictures posted here soon!

On April 17th came the sad news that Dan Federici, organist and keyboard player in the E Street Band, had passed away. Federici died after a three-year battle with melanoma at a hospital in New York. Springsteen and the band postponed three shows to attend to Federicis funeral, but now the band have resumed the tour.

This picture of Springsteen and Federici is taken during the show in Pittsburgh on November 14th, 2007 by photographer Guy Aceto/Backstreets.

Read more about Federici at Backstreets and at Bruce Springsteen’s official site.

On the different forums fans from all over the world are paying their respect to Federici and his contributions to the E Street sound. And maybe this will be something that is reflected in our documentary, I am not sure yet. We’ll see by the time the tour reach Europe. Two shows are scheduled at Ullevi in Gothenburg on July 4th and July 5th this summer.

This poor blog has been left unatended for a while eventhough things has happened on the filming front. This has largely happened because of technical problems with computers, servers, spam protection and a thousand other things. But hopefully we have overcome the troubles. The blog has a new appearance and some new information.

Last December Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Globe Arena in Stockholm. Ingela and I were there, doing our best to film, but we didn’t really find the pictures. It is hard trying to work and at the same time standing in line to get in to the show. I tried to take some stills during the concert, but the pictures didn’t turn out very well.

After the show we did an interview with a swedish fan who had been in in line for days. About an hour or so before the gates were about to open he discovered that he had sent his ticket home with the other stuff that his daughter came to collect. There were a lot of nervous waiting for her return, but her father got his ticket and he enjoyed the show very much. When all this was happening he was very emotional, but when we turned on the camera it was hard to get the same feeling.

About a week later I went on a mini tour, I flew to Paris and caught the show and then took the train to London for the tour closer. Unfortunately I also caught the worst cold I had in years, so the experience was rather mixed. It’s not easy to enjoy oneself while you’re coughing and sneezing your lungs and brains out, but I managed to get some pictures in Paris.

Yes, Santa came to Paris in the form of The E Street Band.

In London I had a seat high up in the O2-arena, wich made it hard to conect to the energy from the band far, far away.

The seats in the back at the O2 in London is nothing for people with vertigo.
