Thank you.

Anyone know how I can my hands on this old pre-fame stuff?

The folk style era was an attempt at getting a recording contract without the baggage of signing a band. Although his manager and the record company people wanted to serve up a new Dylan, he wanted no part of it and insisted that his friends accompany him on the road. They didn't have a name because they didn't have a contract.Bruce was paid to perform solo but he paid them (and 2 roadies) out of his own pocket which led to some precarious financial situations where money was very scarce.

I am still a close personal friend of Mr. Lopez. The "official" spelling of his name is: Vini Maddog Lopez. This is the way he wants to be known. "Little Vinny" is the nickname that Lopez used for bass player Vincent Roslyn to differentiate between the two of them in Steel Mill. Little Vinny was replaced on bass by Steve Van Zandt in 1970. Garry Tallent played bass in the BSB and Federici declined to join. Dr Zoom was between Steel Mill and BSB.The only constant member was Vini Lopez in all four

G Beez

So was the Bruce solo Dylan folk style era in between Steel Mill and BBS or simultaneous with it. From what I gather, Bruce auditioned for Columbia studios as a pawn for them, as they wanted him to be a post Dylan replacement, and Bruce had the big band Asbury musicians in his back pocket for his vision of an American rock and roll revival to counter the British invasion in pop music, psychodelic rock, and British Blues. Tell me if you agree with this view. It comes from inductive observation.

Albee, of the two Vinny cats you have listed here, which one is Lopez, and who is the other. So you are saying Dan Federici was with Steel Mill in 1969 and 1970, but not in The Bruce Springsteen Band in 1971 and 1972 right? If you combine these members of Steel Mill and BBS, then outside of Clarence and Max Weinberg, who would come in 1973 I believe, they do comprise the original E Street Band line up from what I have deduced. If not too much trouble, you could be a valuable resource.

From the nonchalant mumble that introduces the song, to the dirty riff that announces it's arrival, to the Crazy Horse-esque harmonies of the chorus, to the gloriously ragged guitar solo, to the way the song majestically slows like a steam train towards the final thrash that kills the feedback squeal with a single shot; This is without doubt one of Springsteen's finest moments. To these ears, the equal of anything he did in the 70s and way better than anything since.

@pretorious700 Cool. I'm working on an e-book about Upstage and all the guys. Should be out on Kindle later this month. Check out Castiles.net and on Facebook we have a Dr Zoom and The Sonic Boom fan page.

@mandoalbee Interesting. Yeah, I played in a band with David in Richmond. I used to see Steel Mill down here (and Child earlier on)...incredible band, and a big inspiration to me.

@pretorious700 I don't know Hazlett personally. He's from Richmond VA and played drums with Mercy Flight. He was temporarily with Steel Mill to raise money when Vini Lopez was detained in the Richmond jail.

pretorious700

@mandoalbee So you know David Hazlett?

Dear @nufc2smb: In 1969, Danny and Vini asked Bruce and Little Vinny to form a new band later known as Steel Mill. It had nothing to do with the E Street Band. When his first album was released, Bruce asked different players to join his touring band in 1972 but it had no name until 1974. I know because I was the first roadie for the "E St. Band" when they had no name in 1972-73. Peace Albee Tellone

That photo is Steel Mill in 1970, NOT the Bruce Springsteen Band. Yes, that is Stevie to the right of Bruce playing the bass guitar. Danny Federici was not in the BSB, David Sancious played the keys. The BSB personnel were as follows: Bruce and Stevie Van Zandt, guitar and vocals Vini Lopez, drums and vocals David Sancious, keyboards Garry Tallent, bass. This song comes from an experimental recording session/rehearsal at Tinker's studio in Highlands NJ 1972 I know, I was there. Albany Al Tellone
