I've met Garry and everyone else, as I grew up in Asbury Park from 67 - 82. There was a circuit of clubs all the shore musicians played, and interacted. It was a great vibe back then. Garry has always inspired my playing. One of the best Melodic bass players ever. He filled all the voids with his creative style. Days gone by, but I sure miss them. Great interview.

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum oh no, Britt, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I loved watching Joe's interviews as they were always so intriguing and captivating. He will be missed dearly 🙏

Just a fascinating interview for this Joisey Boy who grew up loving this music. Pisses me off in 2023 how Bruce is now judged by his politics. For me, it will always be about the music. I should have written a song about the summertime trip me and two friends took to Asbury Park by way of HITCHHIKING down the Garden State Parkway at MIDIGHT out of Saddle Brook. A Few minutes into our trip we got stopped by a NJ State Trooper for being pedestrians on the highway. He asked a few questions like "where ya going this time of night" lol. We were nice polite kids and said Asbury Park. When he said "Get in the car" we thought we were screwed. Ended up, he gave us an at least 100 mph ride from Clifton to the Asbury Park exit on the GSP in a matter of minutes. Good times and a Great memory.
Love this! Mr. Tallent has been the soul of the band from the beginning. With Clarence and Danny's passing. Gary is the longest-tenured member of the E Street Band, besides Bruce. It was great hearing him talk for a few minutes about his contributions to the band's history.
This is the first instrumental I learned to play. I had an LP of the Ventures tutorial for guitar leads that I wore out. I still play this and many of their songs today and I am 70 years old. Thank you John and all of The Ventures.
A friend of mine met Garry Tallent in a hotel bar during (I think) the Darkness tour. My friend asked him why Tallent's playing on The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle was so much livelier and more intricate than on the following records. Tallent said, "They don't call him The Boss for nothing."
I'm about 1/2 a generation too young, but I have family & friends who were Asbury Park regulars in the starting-out days. They've said that Gary was the classiest, nicest guy you could meet. Fair play to him, and thank you for this clip.
I am just on pg. 236 of Born To Run where Bruce plays homage to his band. Now I have to look up each artist! I am not a Rock N Roll fan but surely appreciate the craft, drive, and ultimate success!
Thanks for this video. I love Garry's job solo and with the E Street. It's interesting to know about them because most of the stuff are about Bruce. Their point of view and love for music. All the E Street members are my heroes.
Something about a band origin story... Not just any band, but the bands we know and love that have been around for a long time. Hearing how they come together, so much of it by chance. how Bruce met Miami Steve, How Tom Petty met Mike Campbell. Great stuff.
Another great post, Joe! Tallent’s story is proof that the record industry was brutal back in the 70’s. Springsteen (to his credit) cut generous checks to ESB members when he decided to work with other players in the late 80’s. Even established solo musicians (if they were fortunate enough to be prolific songwriters) have resorted to selling their catalogs today to live semi comfortably in retirement.
hard to fathom that they weren't making major bank on The River tour, or getting the rock star vibe. At our university, concert tickets were sold by lottery -- you signed up with your ID, then they posted the results and you showed up at the approx time for when your turn would come up. Normally, you could buy up to 10 tix per lottery slot, but you needed to bring at least one student ID for each pair. For The River, they had special rules: The limit was 6 tickets, and you needed to bring an ID for every ticket.
Glad you enjoyed it John… one of the very early interviews I did. Garry was among the very first friends of mine I told I was going to build the MHOF&M and in turn… he was among the very first to offer to place something on exhibit.. best, Joe
How many of us watching this, would do a " job" for 8 years and Bearley break even,without thinking ' screw this ,iam off to chase some instant money? Makes me enjoy the early E street band even more.
Joe, thanks again for being the light-keeper of music history. Don't be bashful or do the "aw-shucks" routine, you are a great historian of music. These clips would be stored in some archive attic or simply forgotten by a gen-whatever too busy watching a toktic snippet to even care. On point as always ☺️ Thank you!
Saw Garry with his own band at the now defunct Maxwell's club in Hoboken NJ with Richard Lloyd of Television about 30 years ago, both were " laid off " from their respective bands , good fun night... they both later got their jobs back.. good work Joe !
The good thing about a Springsteen show in his heyday was that you could get there an hour or two late and still get your money worth, he played for three hours most of the time. Why? Who knows?
Thanks man really interesting stories. I used to see Backstreets all the time, used to smoke doobs with Steve the guitar player in backstreets (he wasn't even a Bruce fan lol). The rest of the band called us the Reefer madness gang. Ah the good old teen years.
That squares with my memories of Springsteen in Richmond. I was a young teen and saw Steel Mill at a couple of free shows near VCU. Bruce was a guitar hero then. Then in '72, as Gary says, he toured the Wild, the Innocent...album and played the VCU gym. He was opening for Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, who I went to see. I was kind of disappointed because, as Gary suggests, it sounded like Van Morrison...no more guitar hero then. I did dig Gary's Danelectro Shorthorn bass. Richmonders kind of claimed Bruce as their own and he has shown up from time to time. A few years ago the city was abuzz about Bruce and Patty and their kids in town and Bruce showing them all of his old haunts (most gone) and taking them to a couple of happening restaunts. Apparently Gary still has some of his old friends in Richmond.
Like how he mentions no body in the band was paying any taxes in 1970s. They start making big money in 1984 and that's the end of the friendships. It all becomes agents, accountants and lawyers. Bruce makes the tunnel of love album by himself, they do the 1988 tour , and Bruce fires them. Fast forward to 2020, they quickly do an album at Bruce's house and later in the year Bruce wants to do a two song gig on SNL and Garry says no way, Covid ain't worth the risk for him to fly to NYC to play two songs. Garry was easily replaced but he can always write a tell all book about the 1970s and 1980s that wouldn't make Bruce look all too good.
That’s a great question DJ… hard to believe but it’s true. I’ve known a number of artist/bands that I thought were rich just barely getting by but the cost of being on the road is very expensive… Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Merry Christmas…Joe
Would be great for someone to reveal how band members get paid relative to the leader of the band, etc. I’ve always wondered. Is there a percentage split of some sort? Has changed over the years? I have course of heard the song writer gets all the money in the following years. But as far as the record sales and life shows, do they split it up? I’m thinking there must be some sort of standard formula. That musicians obide by.
@@ctwriter1670 Dicks and non-dicks seems to be the formula. U2 splits everything evenly. The Eagles (Geffen/Azoff) made lawyers rich. Heartbreakers had so many side projects - it’s likely they were getting only petty cash from Petty.
Not a fan of this Kiingon ( Springsteen) seems these days to attach himself to the likes of Jagger/Fogerty to build himself up..... Thanks Joe very respectfully so..

One of the best shows I ever saw was the E Street Band in '75. No warm up act and damn near a 4 hour show. Solid.
I'm about 1/2 a generation too young, but I have family & friends who were Asbury Park regulars in the starting-out days. They've said that Gary was the classiest, nicest guy you could meet. Fair play to him, and thank you for this clip.
Got to meet Garry at Nashville's Exit/Inn. Was thrilled to learn he was a fan of my old band. Missing you , Joe!
Another great interview Joe, Garry has always been the quiet one but no less a key figure in the East Street band.
The E Street Band I believe was always the key to Bruce's success. Brilliant band.
I am just on pg. 236 of Born To Run where Bruce plays homage to his band. Now I have to look up each artist! I am not a Rock N Roll fan but surely appreciate the craft, drive, and ultimate success!
One of my Top 10 Favorite Bass players for the past 40 years!
Great interview with Garry, awesome to hear the hard times move into the good times. 😎👍🇨🇦
Wow! Joe, I would have never thought they had such an unusually difficult start! But their perseverance has certainly paid off! Thanks for sharing!💫
Thanks Larry….Joe
Thanks for this video. I love Garry's job solo and with the E Street. It's interesting to know about them because most of the stuff are about Bruce. Their point of view and love for music. All the E Street members are my heroes.
This is great. Made a couple of records in Garry's Shore Fire Recording Studio in the late-80s. Good guy. Very down to earth.
Garry Tallent is an Honest Guy. Very down to Earth.

Fantastic interview Thanks Joe
Thanks again Nelly……Joe
Love his looping style, blends beautifully with Weinberg and is always well up in the mix.

Tracking the years of my youth
Glad you enjoyed it John… one of the very early interviews I did. Garry was among the very first friends of mine I told I was going to build the MHOF&M and in turn… he was among the very first to offer to place something on exhibit.. best, Joe
Thanks again Joe for having the foresight to tape these interviews. So much better than any music publication I've ever read.
Thanks again mtc…. Happy Thanksgiving….Joe
It’s really surprising that the band wasn’t making money in the aftermath of the Time and Newsweek covers in the same week
I love this Joe. So cool. I hope you and your family are well. Thank you sir 👍🏻😎
Thanks David… we are good at this time thank God… best to you and yours also…..Joe
Another great interview!!! Thanks Jo Jo!
Never new the Richmond va part that’s awesome
That's when Bruce became a Rock Icon with the Born In The USA album.
How many of us watching this, would do a " job" for 8 years and Bearley break even,without thinking ' screw this ,iam off to chase some instant money?
Makes me enjoy the early E street band even more.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bryan… I agree with you too….Joe

Shucks Craig;)….. thanks… I appreciate it.. best…….Joe
Thanks Joe. Great interview. Very interesting.
Thanks for watching Pete………..Joe
Good story. Thanks to you both.
Good interview. Enjoyed it.
Just when I think these can't get any better...Joe, you're the best!
Thanks for watching Jimi… Joe
Great interview, Joe. Garry seems like a cool guy.
Hi Mark…. Garry is a great guy. We’ve been friends 25 year and he’s always the same. Just like the interview….. Best, Joe
Saw Garry with his own band at the now defunct Maxwell's club in Hoboken NJ with Richard Lloyd of Television about 30 years ago, both were " laid off " from their respective bands , good fun night... they both later got their jobs back.. good work Joe !
Thanks Dan….Joe
Great interview
Thanks 2203….. best, Joe
Great one from your archive!
I think the river tour is when they actually made some big bucks.. (you would have thought the darkness tour cuz it was such a good album ..)
The good thing about a Springsteen show in his heyday was that you could get there an hour or two late and still get your money worth, he played for three hours most of the time. Why? Who knows?
What a great story, Joe! Great job.
Thanks Boko… Joe
Ahhh... The life of a rock star...
Reality...eh?
Great eye opener 😎👍
Music...ya gotta love it😉😎👍
Great video 😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
Love Brother
Very cool.. thank you
Wild history - glad they eventually got to the top!
Brilliant punch line to this clip! [I won't give it away : ) ]
I always thought The River was the best Music the Bruce and E street made. Born to Run
First 2 records I owned as a kid (aside from Smurfs and Disney records) Thriller and Born in the USA, just like he says.
Ha! Me too. Actually: Kenny Rogers, The Gambler; Thriller; Born in the USA. All great stuff.
Thanks man really interesting stories. I used to see Backstreets all the time, used to smoke doobs with Steve the guitar player in backstreets (he wasn't even a Bruce fan lol). The rest of the band called us the Reefer madness gang. Ah the good old teen years.
Fascinating
Garry is incorrect about one thing...The E street Band is a GREAT name!😁🤘😎🤘
Great video can.you do one on Southside johnny.

really guud interview…
How the hell had they gotten big enough for Bruce to be on the cover of Time magazine in 1975 yet he and his band _still_ weren't making any money?
That’s a great question DJ… hard to believe but it’s true. I’ve known a number of artist/bands that I thought were rich just barely getting by but the cost of being on the road is very expensive… Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Merry Christmas…Joe

Darkness on the edge of town.
Howdy everyone
People keep talking about the notification bell…I don’t see any notification bell…
I’ll check on it …. Joe
613…. You must subscribe first to see the notification bell…. Joe
Joe it’s me Nancy. I did subscribe- no bell…
I’ll try to find out for you.. thanks Nancy… Joe
I’m not seeing that, I’m using my iPhone so maybe that has something to do with it.
YaJoe !!
I some how don't think it was that hard for them. But maybe so. The record and management business was still pretty shady in the late 70's.
Not a fan of this Kiingon ( Springsteen) seems these days to attach himself to the likes of Jagger/Fogerty to build himself up..... Thanks Joe very respectfully so..
I never respect a man's music whose morals are inept. To me, this illiterate, Springsteen is unfit to judge anything.
Your idiocy is on display for everyone to see
$pringsteen so overrated.
but you still felt the need to come here and say that. you guys are a laugh
Nonsense....
