Backstreets magazine and Lawrence Kirsch are pleased to present a celebration evening of longtime Boston favorite, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen.
We invite you to bring your Bruce Springsteen mementos, photos, t-shirts, posters, books, ticket stubs, albums and especially your Bruce stories and memories to share with other fans who have appreciated Bruce Springsteen’s appearances in the Boston area since 1973. From the famous and historic shows at Charlie’s Place in Cambridge, to the last two full concerts with E Street band member Danny Federici in November 2007, Boston has a special place in the hearts of Springsteen fans.
Come meet local photographer Rocco Coviello. Rocco, native of Lynn, Mass, has been a Bruce Springsteen fan since 1975 and shooting him in concert from 1978 until today. He has photographed Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Clash, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Mumford and Sons, The Gaslight Anthem and more. Rocco’s photos have appeared in Backstreets Magazine, Springsteen book For You, and the Dutch Springsteen books The Rising as well as Magic Nights. Rocco will be displaying some of his fantastic photos of Bruce spanning thirty years, from The Boston Garden, Fenway Park to Madison Square Garden and more!
“Outside of Jersey and maybe Philadelphia, is there a stronger Springsteen fan base than the one in Boston?” asked Peter Chianca, longtime Boston-area journalist and founder of the Springsteen blog “Blogness on the Edge of Town.” “From the earliest days of his career, when Jon Landau famously wrote about ‘rock ‘n’ roll’s future,’ to today, when his stopping in the Boston Public Gardens to play a few notes with a street musician garners headlines and news reports all over town, Boston has loved Bruce. They don’t call it Boss-ton for nothing.”

Pingback: Boston 'Memories Roadshow' Springsteen Link Roundup | Blogness on the Edge of Town
Indeed, it was a fun night w/ a great bunch of fellow Springsteen fans. It was nice to finally meet you, Lawrence, as well as local “Blogness On The Edge Of Town” contributors Susan McDonald & Deb Filcman, and also noted local sportswriter & apparent reader of Backstreets.com, Sean McAdam. It was great to see & catch-up with a bunch of friends & familiar faces. Rocco’s photo slideshow, plus all of the great framed photos that be brought, were a joy to view & re-live those memories. I can officially say that after reading the reviews of the Pittsburgh shows and then getting together on Saturday, my Bruce Juices are once-again flowing. Bring on that 2012 tour!
Thanks Lawrence!

Beautiful Springsteen photos wherever you look, his music blasting through the speakers and like-minded fans all around – what a terrific way to spend a Saturday night! Thank you for organizing such a lovely evening, and bringing us all together. I only hope we can repeat it soon. See you all further on up the road!
This was a blast, and a great ending to my marathon Bruce weekend! I came home earlier from Pittsburgh to be at this gathering and it was so worth it. It was a pleasure to see Lawrence, and to finally meet Rocco, and the Joyces. I loved hearing people’s Bruce stories, and sharing my own. It was cool to be able to say that the first time I saw Bruce was in 1975, and the last time was Friday night (and great talking to Mike who had also been in Pittsburgh!). I really hope there’s another one soon.
Rocco’s photography is awesome. Thanks to all, and hope there’s another one soon.
