Forty years ago. March 1974. Liberty Hall, in Houston.

That's when Garry Tallent figured his band had a shot.

'We were booked into that place for several nights in a row,' says Tallent, a founding member of The E Street Band, the Bruce Springsteen-led ensemble that will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday in Brooklyn, New York.

'We'd never much left the East Coast, and the first night in Houston, there weren't that many people there. But they told their friends. By the weekend, the place was packed, and everybody was having a great time. The band was on fire, and it was like, 'Wow, this could really happen.' '

Springsteen

Folks who bought tickets ahead of time paid $3 to get into those Liberty Hall shows. The suckers who waited to buy at the door had to pay $3.50 to enter the room at 1610 Chenevert.

'Springsteen's band consists of six pieces, focusing around Springsteen on guitar, Clarence Clemons on sax and Gary Tallent on bass,' wrote John W. Wilson in the Houston Chronicle in a review of the first show, March 7, 1974. 'This is the mainspring that makes the rock machine move. Tallent's bass patterns, of unbelievable force and simplicity, create easily recognizable moods with the fewest notes possible.'

The E Street Band is different now. Other than Springsteen, Tallent is the only original member remaining in the group, and the band that comes to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on April 17 is without Clemons and original keyboard player Danny Federici: Back in 1974, when Tallent was 24, Springsteen's band members did not worry about distant tragedies such as strokes or melanoma. But the 'unbelievable force and simplicity' stuff is still in effect, and it's one reason The E Street Band can play one chord together and sound completely unlike any other ensemble.

'We play so hard, and aggressively, all the time,' says Tallent, who moved to Nashville in 1989, left for Whitefish, Mont., in 2005 but maintains a home here. 'Even in the ballads, when it's gentle, it's an aggressive way of being gentle. We're bashers. And we play differently in the E Street Band than when we're playing with anybody else.'

Tallent has done a ton of playing with others. As a producer and session bass player, he's worked with Emmylou Harris, Kevin Gordon, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Jim Lauderdale, Scotty Moore, Steve Forbert and many others. And his numerous Nashville club shows with The Long Players found him replicating other bass players' styles and delivering live versions of classic rock albums.

But with The E Street Band, his playing is about clatter and clamor, muting strings during softer sections and then exploding into choruses.

'The dynamic range on a bass is a lot less than just about any instrument on the stage,' he says. 'It's about controlling the space and length of the note. The bass can't come down (in volume) as much as everything else. It can't do that, but it has to feel like it does. That's the trick.'

Shows are never same

The trick works well enough for Tallent to have kept one of the great jobs in rock 'n' roll across five decades, pausing only in the 1990s, when Springsteen put the E Street Band on hiatus. Even after thousands of times through 'Born To Run,' 'Hungry Heart' and all the rest, he says there's never a chance to go on auto-pilot.

Unlike most major touring acts, the E Street Band doesn't rely on stock arrangements, pre-set tempos or video syncs that require the band to play songs the same way each night.

'I have to stay in the moment because we can't count on ever doing anything the same way again,' he says. 'Something's going to change, and you don't want to get caught flat-footed.'

The in-the-moment nature of an E Street Band show is a big part of the concert appeal. Springsteen always has treated the studio and the stage as separate endeavors, and he has sought to maximize the power of each.

The 'Born To Run' album is a masterwork in part because of the excruciatingly detailed work that went into its recording and mixing. To put that kind of detail into a live show would require an every-night-the-same ethic that would make the concerts rote endeavors: Springsteen's concerts are freewheeling and varied.

Buying a ticket for a concert in an arena is most often like buying a ticket for a Broadway show: You know full well what will happen, and allowing only for slight variations.

Buying an E Street Band ticket is more like buying your way into a championship ballgame: You don't know who will score, or how, and the game may go into overtime. You just know you'll see high-level performances, and the kind of intensity most of us fail to muster in a lifetime.

Tallent has been helping to conjure that intensity for 42 years, and ever since that night in Houston he's been aware of its transformative power.

This week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will celebrate his impact, along with bandmates Clemons, Federici, David Sancious, Vini Lopez, Roy Bittan, Steven Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, Nils Lofgren and Max Weinberg. Then, on April 17, the current E Street Band will make its first Nashville appearance as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

'Part of the charm of rock 'n' roll is its illegitimacy, its rebellion,' Tallent says. 'So to be made so mainstream was never the goal. But I am a record collector and a fan, and to be associated with the hierarchy of people in the Hall of Fame is humbling. It's very complimentary, very sweet. I just don't feel like I can stand next to those guys.'

He's been standing next to one of them for a very long time, having played more gigs with Springsteen than anyone else on the planet.

It took that shot and registered a culture-piercing bull's-eye.

'Johnny 99' is a song written and recorded by rock musician Bruce Springsteen, which first appeared on Springsteen's 1982 solo album Nebraska.

Performance and themes[edit]

In 'Johnny 99' Springsteen sings about an auto worker who gets laid off in Mahwah, New Jersey and shoots and kills a night clerk while drunk and distraught.[1] As a result, he is apprehended and is sentenced to 99 years in prison, but requests to be executed instead.[1] On the song, Springsteen is accompanied only by his acoustic guitar,[1] although he doubles on harmonica as well. Despite the bleakness of the song's themes - including unemployment, poverty, robbery, murder and possibly execution - the tune is ironically jaunty,[2] with a shuffling rockabilly beat.[3]

Auto Tune From Bruce Springsteen

Like several other songs on the Nebraska album, 'Johnny 99' is a song about complete despair.[4] It has direct links with certain songs on Nebraska: the protagonist in 'Johnny 99' notes that he has 'debts no honest man could pay,' repeating a line used by the protagonist in 'Atlantic City',[1][5] and, like the title song, 'Johnny 99' is about a murderer[1] — though rather than being a psychopath like the protagonist in the title song, 'Johnny 99' is motivated by his economic circumstances.[2]

History[edit]

Like the rest of the Nebraska album, 'Johnny 99' was recorded in January 1982 in a no-frills studio set up in Springsteen's home in Colts Neck, New Jersey.[6] Most likely it was recorded on January 3, 1982, when most of the album tracks were recorded.[6]

The background of the song is based on a real-life incident, the closing in 1980 of a Ford Motor Company plant in Mahwah, which had been open since 1955.[3] The song also has antecedents in two folk songs that appeared on the box set Anthology of American Folk Music: Julius Daniels' '99-Year Blues' and Carter Family's 'John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man.'[3]

Despite its bleak themes, it has been a reasonably popular song in concert, with 379 live performances through May 2014.[7] A live version was released on the album Live/1975–85.[1][8] During a September 22, 1984 Born in the U.S.A. Tour concert in Pittsburgh, Springsteen used the introduction to 'Johnny 99' to respond to President Reagan referencing the message of hope in Bruce Springsteen's songs, stating 'The president was mentioning my name the other day, and I kinda got to wondering what his favorite album musta been. I don't think it was the Nebraska album. I don't think he's been listening to this one.'[9]

Other artists have recorded 'Johnny 99.' Most famously, Johnny Cash recorded it along with another Nebraska song, 'Highway Patrolman' for an album Cash entitled Johnny 99.[1][2] The song has also been recorded for Bruce Springsteen covers albums by John Hiatt and Los Lobos.[1]Punk rock band The Loved Ones covered the song on their EP, Distractions. Mark Erelli and Jeffrey Foucault also covered the song for Seven Curses, an album of murder ballads. The band Shovels & Rope covered the song as well and perform it occasionally live. It was also released as B-side of a 2006 single by UK rock band Mystic Knights of The Sea. The A-side of this single was an earlier Springsteen tune, 'Cadillac Ranch.'

Critical reception[edit]

In praising the album Nebraska, 'Johnny 99' is one of the songs that was singled out by Mikal Gilmore of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.[10] In discussing Springsteen's growth as a writer, he stated that 'When Springsteen tells Charlie Starkweather and Johnny 99's tales, he neither seeks their redemption nor asks for our judgment. He tells the stories about as simply and as well as they deserve to be told - or about as unsparingly as we deserve to hear them - and he lets us feel for them what we can, or find in them what we can of ourselves.'[10]

Though never released as a single anywhere, 'Johnny 99' garnered enough album oriented rock airplay to reach #50 on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[11]
