Jay Weinberg, currently drumming with Suicidal Tendencies, regularly posts on his official YouTube channel videos which are part of his "Live Drum Cam" series: professionally recorded videos of select performances that highlight the aural and visual perspectives of Jay powerfully pounding away behind the drum-kit. The latest entry, posted yesterday, is taken from the June 22, 2024 Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band concert in Barcelona, Spain, during which Jay temporarily took over his father Max's drums to perform "Radio Nowhere" with Bruce and the band. We've embedded the video above, so you can watch it right here if you wish. It's a great, rockin' segment of the show (including HORNS!) that's professionally filmed and recorded from start to finish, and it's all capped off with some sweet, moving hugs and kisses for Jay from proud papa Max and "Uncle Bruce."
Here's more on the video from Jay himself, as shared in the video's description section on his YouTube channel, along with complete production credits for the video:
“Perhaps stating the obvious, I’ve seen @brucespringsteen and the mighty E Street Band more than I have any other artist over the last 25 years…it’s got to be in the multiple hundreds of shows by now. And I can say with complete confidence — the dates I’ve seen of their current tour have been amongst my absolute favorite times seeing them. Every night is pure mastery in storytelling and rock and roll power; an emotional journey of music that’s inspiring and moving in every way.
My wife and I have tried to catch as much of this tour as possible. A joy for me, personally, to finally share with her this huge part of my family’s and my history — especially to watch my Dad turn into a complete drumming weapon night after night. 🔥🥁🔥
It was a complete surprise to receive an invitation from The Boss himself to sit in for a song during the last show of their summer tour that we’d be able to see — in Barcelona, right before linking up with @suicidaltendencies for our summer tour.
Out of all the songs I learned and played on tour with Bruce throughout 2009 — many of which drew from genres I had never really approached in my four years of drumming experience — ‘Radio Nowhere’ felt the most like a natural extension of the music I had gravitated towards as a teenager. To this day, this song holds a very special place in my heart. It was a thrill to revisit playing on E Street, 15 years later.
I’m eternally grateful to Bruce, to my Dad, to everyone on and off this stage…a true family. For sharing this moment, and for the lifetime of memories. This is one I’ll never forget.
Hope you enjoy it!”
