Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Jersey governors want another tour

See you on E Street, governor?

That sounds good to three New Jersey governors, past and present. Govs. Phil Murphy, Christine Todd Whitman and Thomas Kean all want to see a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band tour after the Boss’ “Springsteen on Broadway” run ends at the Walter Kerr Theatre in December.

“Yes, without question,” said Whitman, at the Sunday, May 6 New Jersey Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Asbury Park.

“Oh yeah, he’s got to get off Broadway and tour,” Kean said. “That’s much better.”

What the future holds for the E Street Band has caused consternation among E Street fans as “Springsteen on Broadway” has been extended several times since opening in October of 2017. Team Springsteen has stated that the Dec. 15 performance will be the last at the Kerr, but no plans for after that have been announced.

“Absolutely,” said Murphy about a future tour. “I don’t have any inside information but I’m highly confident they will.”

We didn’t get a response of Gov. Chris Christie as he wasn’t at the Jersey Hall of Fame ceremony, but we have a feeling he’d be yea vote. He’s been to more than a hundred E Street Band concerts, after all.

E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt brought up the issue Sunday during his induction speech at the Paramount Theatre.

“We’ve done a lot of good work together,” said Van Zandt, looking at Springsteen, “and still more to come.”

That caused a big cheer from the crowd.

The last E Street Band show was February 25, 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand.
