Who is the E Street Band?

Given that Tyrell, Giordano, and Clemons are now in the official band photo (as opposed to other supplemental players), I think it's fair to call them part of the E Street Band unless Springsteen or some other official source says otherwise. See https://brucespringsteen.net/news/2023/ladies-and-gentlemen-the-e-street-band/. They're also listed as band members on the liner notes to Letter to You, the current album.

Your analysis of photographs and record covers is original research. Springsteen has always been adamant sbout who is s member of the band. We will publish any additions only when he announces such. WWGB (talk) 22:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cadillac Ranch

On which date the song "Cadillac Ranch" was performed? Michael M 1958 (talk) 17:04, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can check out the setlist.fm page for the 2023 tour or the Brucebase page for 2023. To answer your specific question, "Cadillac Ranch" was only performed in Austin on Feb 16, 2023 on this tour so far. Wizardimps (talk) 23:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to handle the 2024 dates?

Ticketmaster pushed my updated ticket for my postponed show to my phone this morning and then sent a further alert saying the tour's name had changed: "The name of event Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2023 Tour has changed to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2024 Tour." After seeing that, I looked at brucespringsteen.net and I see the graphic setting out the dates for the postponed US shows (Canada to be announced next week) says "2024 Tour" above the words "Springsteen & E Street Band." The question for us is how to treat these dates for purposes of this article. Do we start a new article for the "2024 Tour" or do we treat it as a continuation of the same tour and change the article name to use "2023–24 Tour" or "2023–2024 Tour"? My inclination would be either of those latter options—as a practical matter, it's a continuation (rescheduling) of the 2023 tour, not a new and separate tour, and keeping all the dates together in the same article makes it easier for a reader to find the information and understand what happened. I have no doubt, however, given the pedantic tendencies many people on Wikipedia exhibit surrounding the word "official," that some people would say that the graphic's use of the year "2024" would require a separate article. Hence why I thought I'd raise the question here before I devote any time to adding the rescheduled tour dates to the table. 1995hoo (talk) 16:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I favour renaming to Springsteen and E Street Band 2023–2024 Tour, which is consistent with Bruce Springsteen 1992–1993 World Tour. WWGB (talk) 01:26, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding List of Songs Performed

Hello all, I thought I'd come here and suggest that we reinstate the list of songs performed. From what I've seen on other Bruce Springsteen tour Wiki pages, there is usually a list of songs (and what albums they come from, or which are covers, etc.), and I know this has been done on at least one other Wikipedia tour page that I can think of (The Beach Boys' 50th Anniversary World Tour from 2012). If we reformatted the old two paragraphs, it might be helpful information to return to the article. Thanks!! EPBeatles (talk) 22:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the problem was that it was completely unsourced. If it were sourced, and if it were formatted in a different manner than a paragraph containing an ever-lengthening list, I might see the value, although I also think that sort of information tends to be better-suited to fan sites where everyone revels in hearing that he played something for the first time since 1975 or the like. 1995hoo (talk) 22:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with 1995hoo. All material needs to be supported by a published reliable source. If there is no source found for it, then it should not be included. HorrorLover555 (talk) 14:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HorrorLover555....I reposted all of the songs, very detailed with the albums just like on some other Springsteen and tour wiki pages. You still removed it. In your edit you said "Sources are from fan sites, and are not reliable". I added two sources, the main one being Springsteen's official website that lists all of his setlists and you claimed it was a fan source. JasonH1978 (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please take note that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Just because he performed those songs and the set lists are on his website does not equal inclusion, regardless if it is verifiable. HorrorLover555 (talk) 15:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
