Bruce Springsteen's Tour Rider

When you look at the tour rider for the current (at the moment suspended because Bruce is healing peptic ulcers) Bruce Springsteen/E St Band tour, it may look way extravagant to you...consider, though, this is a pretty typical tour rider for any superstar band, let alone where many members of the entourage are in their late 60's and early 70's...it's still fun to read, and the News-Gazette in Illinois got a hold of the 37 page Bruce rider: Bruce likes chicken soup before a show, and "16 shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce" after the show...there's the Rold Gold pretzels, hard boiled eggs with yolks removed, fancy fruit drinks and more...wife Patty Scialfa requires white roses and fashion magazines, specific fruits, vodka, and wine....there's mention of skinless chicken, salmon or tuna, with sauteed veggies...there are specific instructions as to the presentation of all of that, and a whole other list for the E St Band's dining needs...here's more, including the massage therapist, manicurist, and the vehicles needed by all: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bruce-springsteen-tour-rider/
