Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band haven't even begun their U.S. summer stadium tour, but they've already announced another run through North American kicking off October 19th in Ottawa and wrapping up December 6th in Glendale, Arizona. 

The band have been touring behind Wrecking Ball since March. They are currently wrapping up a European tour that has featured the longest shows of Springsteen's entire career, almost reaching the four-hour mark. "We're not looking at the clock," Steve Van Zandt recently told Rolling Stone.  "We've been transported by that point to another time zone entirely, which I think is part of the idea. I think what's effective for the audience is being transported for that time, whatever it may be."

The European tour wraps up on July 31st in Helsinki, Finland. After a two-week break, they start up again at Boston's Fenway Park on August 14th. 

Here are the new dates:

10/19 Ottawa, ON – Scotiabank Place
10/21 Hamilton, ON – Copps Coliseum
10/23 Charlottesville, VA – John Paul Jones Arena
10/25 Hartford, CT – XL Center

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
