Got the new Springsteen album, The Seeger Sessions. It’s a live at home recording of a large band sitting in one room, unrehearsed and playing with great pleasure. Most of the band in the living room, horn section in the hall. There’s a great video with it:
Bruce (tentatively strumming chords for intro of song)
Trombone (in the hall): parp
Trumpet (to trombone): shhh!
Bruce: What was that? Let’s hear that horn
Trombone: parp parp parp
Bruce (thinks deeply, keeps strumming)
Bruce: Let’s hear the trumpet
Trumpet: noodly doodly
Bruce (thinks deeply, keeps strumming)
Bruce: let’s hear the sax
Sax: baa baa baaa
Bruce: let’s stick with the banjo ! (starts song)
