COLUMBIA RECORDS RELEASES 'Bruce Springsteen Ringtones WITH THE SESSIONS BAND LIVE IN DUBLIN' ON DVD, BLU-RAY DISC, 2-CD SET AND COMBO DVD/CD SET Concert Features 23 Songs From November, 2006

Columbia Records has released 'Bruce Springsteen Ringtones With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin', a concert DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and separate two-CD set release, as well as a combination DVD/CD package. The two-CD set, DVD and Blu-ray Disc each feature 23 songs drawn from the band's performances in Dublin, Ireland at The Point on November 17, 18 and 19, 2006. Songs include fan favorites from 'The Seeger Sessions,' radical interpretations from the Springsteen songbook and rare songs appearing for the first time on any Springsteen release.
Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau said, "'Live in Dublin' charts the development of a band from an informal gathering in Bruce's living room to an onstage powerhouse. It also documents the growth in Bruce's vision of American music; it includes folk music, blues, Dixieland, country, swing, gospel, rock, down to and including his own writing. It's all performed with Bruce's classic energy and focus. I think it's some of the finest music he's ever made."
The DVD, Blu-ray Disc and CD captures the band during the finale of its multi-leg 2006 tour. The Word Magazine (UK) said of a concert on this tour, "I have never, make that NEVER, seen a show better than the one mounted by Bruce Springsteen Ringtones and his band at Wembley Arena on Saturday, November 11, 2006." The Sunday Business Post Agenda (UK), in a 5 star review, said, "During the concert's numerous high points, the crowd was ecstatic and Springsteen was the preacher, spreading a welcome message: We're open all night."
Bruce Springsteen Ringtones with The Sessions Band's tour last year prompted other incredible 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," said LA Times. The Washington Post declared, "It was the best live show I've seen in at least five years. (And I've seen a few.)" Meanwhile, The Independent (UK), said, "It's been an astonishingly rich evening." The Observer (UK) proclaimed, "Springsteen and the Seeger Session band were an inspiring triumph."
'Bruce Springsteen Ringtones With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' was produced by George Travis and produced and edited by Emmy Award winner Thom Zimny, who recently took home a Grammy Award for directing "Wings For Wheels: The Making Of Born To Run," a DVD in the acclaimed 'Born To Run' box set. Legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain mixed the DVD and Blu-ray Disc in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Bob Ludwig mastered the DVD and CD at Gateway Studios. The Blu-ray Disc was authored at Sony Pictures Digital Authoring Center. Documented with nine cameras, the concert was filmed in High Definition (HD). The Blu-ray Disc presents the show in full 1080 HD resolution along with uncompressed surround sound.

Bruce Springsteen Ringtones FEATURED ON JESSE MALIN'S NEW ALBUMGlitter in the Gutter is the new album from NYC's Jesse Malin, an artist who has transcended tags like "singer/songwriter" for something different and largely indefinable. Penned "a fearless storyteller" (music critic Nigel Williamson), after releasing two critically acclaimed albums The Fine Art of Self Destruction and The Heat, Jesse has established himself as a career musician who writes songs that connect on so many levels that above all, he's a healer.
The songs on Glitter in the Gutter have kept the intimate slice of life and detail of his previous records but also work on a larger palette. Jesse writes locally but thinks globally and makes his songs identifiable so that they can connect with people in every part of the world.
Glitter in the Gutter was recorded in various studios over the summer in Millbrook, New York; North Hollywood, CA; and in Jesse's native borough of Queens, New York. Glitter features guest appearances by none other than Bruce Springsteen Ringtones, Jakob Dylan, Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and long time pal Ryan Adams.
"[Malin's] knack for penning anthems is profound, and his observational gifts--for the sights and smells of the streets, for the lovers, leavers and losers of rock 'n' roll apocrypha--make Malin one of the most literate young lyricists around... Another one of Malin's gifts [also] becomes apparent: his utter humanness and humility, a twinned trait that, in artists, spell greatness." -Fred Mills, Harp Magazine
"How this guy stays so under the radar baffles me. One of the best rock-oriented singer/songwriters out there." -Ken Barnes, USA TODAY
"{Malin} manages a near impossibility in this day and age: a no-questions-asked, quintessential piano ballad {with} "Broken Radio," a duet with road-rock god Bruce Springsteen Ringtones" -American Songwriter

LEGENDARY IRISH PROMOTER JIM AIKEN HAS DIED AT 74. He handled every Bruce Springsteen Ringtones concert ever performed in Ireland, from Slane Castle in 1985 through Dublin and Belfast in 2006. The following article that appeared originally in the Irish Sun helps to explain their special relationship.
03/01/2007 Rock legends pay tribute to Aiken
Rock legends such as Bruce Springsteen Ringtones and Sir Paul McCartney were among those who paid tribute to the Irish music promoter Jim Aiken, whose removal service took place today.
Country superstar Garth Brooks, Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley and showbusiness mogul Louis Walsh were among more than a thousand mourners packed into St Brigid's Church in south Belfast. Michael Flatley and his wife Niamh O'Brien arrive for the funeral of entertainment promoter Jim Aiken at St Brigid's Church, Belfast Michael Flatley and his wife Niamh O'Brien arrive for the funeral of entertainment promoter Jim Aiken at St Brigid's Church, Belfast
Springsteen and his wife had sent a letter of support to Aiken, who died of cancer, just last week, it emerged.
TV presenter Patrick Kielty, Boyzone's Keith Duffy and agents representing Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart and Justin Timberlake all sat in solemn silence as touching tributes were paid to the man who brought world-class performers to the city's stages while violence raged across Northern Ireland.
They heard how just weeks before he died on Tuesday, Aiken (74), made his last booking for Belfast: Sir Elton John.
Choking back tears, lifelong friend and business associate Jim Clarke said it was fitting that one of the first to answer Aiken's call should be the final act he secured.
Sir Elton, who sent a floral tribute, was also the first to play at a series of annual open-air concerts organised by the promoter in the grounds of the Stormont Parliament after the signing of the Belfast Agreement in 1998.
Brooks, Stewart, Luciano Pavarotti and Californian rock band the Eagles all followed suit.
Aiken, whose genial charm earned him the nickname Gentleman Jim, was on first-name terms with the most stellar names.
Sir Cliff Richard has already spoken of his shock at the speed with which his health failed.
And the loss to Springsteen of such a close friend - the man who got him to perform in front of up to 100,000 people at Slane Castle near Dublin in 1985, and then again in Belfast last November for one of the most talked-about concerts ever staged in the city - was confirmed during the Requiem Mass.
Mr Clarke read out a letter the rock star and his wife Patti Scialfa, sent to Aiken at his home in Belfast last week.
It said: "Dear Jim, we have just got the news over here. We're crushed. Such a big part of the joy we feel when we come to Ireland is seeing that big grin of yours when we come off stage. Patti and I send out love a thousands times over. Please call if we can be of any help in any way. All our love, Patti and Bruce Springsteen Ringtones."
The magnitude of Aiken's contribution to Ireland's cultural life, particularly at a time when Belfast was seen as a no-go zone for cosseted household names, shone through in the tributes which have poured in since his death.
President Mary McAleese and Taoiseach Bertie Ahern both sent representatives, while close business associates Maurice Cassidy and Tommy Higgins also travelled from Dublin.
Monsignor Ambrose Macauley also stressed the former teacher and trainee priest's role in attracting top class talent.
"Tributes have been paid to his organisational skills in planning great events at which singers, musicians, dancers and other artists of international fame were brought to this country so people here were able to see and appreciate their rich and varied talents," he said.
Following the funeral, Aiken's body was taken for burial in his hometown of Jonesborough, south Armagh.

Insulting Our Troops, and Our Intelligence, by Thomas L. FriedmanNew York Times, November 3, 2006
George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld think you're stupid. Yes, they do.
They think they can take a mangled quip about President Bush and Iraq by John Kerry -- a man who is not even running for office but who, unlike Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, never ran away from combat service -- and get you to vote against all Democrats in this election.
Every time you hear Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney lash out against Mr. Kerry, I hope you will say to yourself, "They must think I'm stupid." Because they surely do.
They think that they can get you to overlook all of the Bush team's real and deadly insults to the U.S. military over the past six years by hyping and exaggerating Mr. Kerry's mangled gibe at the president.
What could possibly be more injurious and insulting to the U.S. military than to send it into combat in Iraq without enough men -- to launch an invasion of a foreign country not by the Powell Doctrine of overwhelming force, but by the Rumsfeld Doctrine of just enough troops to lose? What could be a bigger insult than that?
What could possibly be more injurious and insulting to our men and women in uniform than sending them off to war without the proper equipment, so that some soldiers in the field were left to buy their own body armor and to retrofit their own jeeps with scrap metal so that roadside bombs in Iraq would only maim them for life and not kill them? And what could be more injurious and insulting than Don Rumsfeld's response to criticism that he sent our troops off in haste and unprepared: Hey, you go to war with the army you've got -- get over it.
What could possibly be more injurious and insulting to our men and women in uniform than to send them off to war in Iraq without any coherent postwar plan for political reconstruction there, so that the U.S. military has had to assume not only security responsibilities for all of Iraq but the political rebuilding as well? The Bush team has created a veritable library of military histories -- from "Cobra II" to "Fiasco" to "State of Denial" -- all of which contain the same damning conclusion offered by the very soldiers and officers who fought this war: This administration never had a plan for the morning after, and we've been making it up -- and paying the price -- ever since.
And what could possibly be more injurious and insulting to our men and women in Iraq than to send them off to war and then go out and finance the very people they're fighting against with our gluttonous consumption of oil? Sure, George Bush told us we're addicted to oil, but he has not done one single significant thing -- demanded higher mileage standards from Detroit, imposed a gasoline tax or even used the bully pulpit of the White House to drive conservation -- to end that addiction. So we continue to finance the U.S. military with our tax dollars, while we finance Iran, Syria, Wahhabi mosques and Al Qaeda madrassas with our energy purchases.
Everyone says that Karl Rove is a genius. Yeah, right. So are cigarette companies. They get you to buy cigarettes even though we know they cause cancer. That is the kind of genius Karl Rove is. He is not a man who has designed a strategy to reunite our country around an agenda of renewal for the 21st century -- to bring out the best in us. His "genius" is taking some irrelevant aside by John Kerry and twisting it to bring out the worst in us, so you will ignore the mess that the Bush team has visited on this country.
And Karl Rove has succeeded at that in the past because he was sure that he could sell just enough Bush cigarettes, even though people knew they caused cancer. Please, please, for our country's health, prove him wrong this time.
Let Karl know that you're not stupid. Let him know that you know that the most patriotic thing to do in this election is to vote against an administration that has -- through sheer incompetence -- brought us to a point in Iraq that was not inevitable but is now unwinnable.
Let Karl know that you think this is a critical election, because you know as a citizen that if the Bush team can behave with the level of deadly incompetence it has exhibited in Iraq -- and then get away with it by holding on to the House and the Senate -- it means our country has become a banana republic. It means our democracy is in tatters because it is so gerrymandered, so polluted by money, and so divided by professional political hacks that we can no longer hold the ruling party to account.
It means we're as stupid as Karl thinks we are.
I, for one, don't think we're that stupid. Next Tuesday we'll see.

Bruce Springsteen Ringtones AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFOREThe Unseen Photos of the Photography ShootOf Born to Run
It has been more than thirty years since Bruce Springsteen Ringtones's album Born to Run was released, but now a new book reveals the unseen photographs of that album photo shoot. BORN TO RUN: The Unseen Photos (Insight Editions, October 10, 2006, $39.95; 1350-copy signed and numbered limited edition, $195.00) delivers over 100 black-and-white photographs drawn from the more than 700 that photographer Eric Meola took that day including the cover shot which has been deemed "iconic" by Rolling Stone magazine.
Here are the unseen photographs of a young Bruce Springsteen Ringtones on the verge of becoming one of the greatest entertainers of all time. The book highlights the young Springsteen from the turning point of his career when this album put him on both the covers of Time and Newsweek and inspired critics to proclaim that the baton of American troubadour had been passed from Dylan to Springsteen.
Eric Meola presents photographs that have never been published before, as he captures an exciting moment in the history of American rock. With an introduction by popular music writer Daniel Wolff and all the lyrics from the album by Bruce Springsteen Ringtones, these amazing photographs tell a tale of a great American artist on the brink of becoming a legend.
From the day that Meola first ran into Springsteen under the overhang of the Plaza Hotel on a rainy day and introduced himself, to the day Meola bluffed his way in to meet the Boss at a concert at the Carlton Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey, to the day he was assigned the shoot of the album cover, Meola's interest in Springsteen is evident as he has captured some of the most amazing photos ever taken of Springsteen.
BORN TO RUN: The Unseen Photos provides a timeless snapshot of Americana--all sweaty, high energy, and tuned to a carnival-like level portraying Springsteen as the greatest artist of his generation.
"It is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him--and it should crack his future wide open."--Rolling Stone, 1975, on the release of Bruce Springsteen Ringtones's album, Born to Run
About the Photographer
Eric Meola is a self taught photographer whose prints hang in museums including the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, and the George Eastman House. He has photographed three Time covers, and his work has appeared in Esquire, Life, Travel and Leisure and other prestigious magazines. All of Eric's royalties from the sales of this book are being donated to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey which is the largest source of donated food in the state.
