The Wharton Club of Northern California has a limited number of tickets for the Bruce Springsteen "Wrecking Ball" Concert in San Jose on Tuesday, April 24th, and we're making them available on a first-come, first-served basis to WCNC members. We'll also be meeting up as a group for a quick dinner and/or drinks before the concert.

(Note: the number of tickets that we have available really is limited--once they're gone, there are no more--and we expect them to sell out well before the concert date. If you'd like to join us, we recommend reserving your seats now.)

Looking at photos of the covers of Bruce Springsteen's albums is like a guided tour through the last 40+ years of American history. Springsteen's recordings have included both commercially accessible rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, "Born in the U.S.A." and "Born to Run", showcase a talent for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily American life; he has written and recorded hundreds of songs over the course of his career to date; and he has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million worldwide. Springsteen is widely regarded by many as one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, and in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him as the 23rd Greatest Artist of all time.

[From Wikipedia]   ". . . With the release of 'Born to Run' in 1975, Springsteen found major success. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and while there were no hit singles, 'Born to Run' (Billboard No. 23), 'Thunder Road', 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out' (Billboard No. 83), and 'Jungleland' all received massive album-oriented rock airplay and remain perennial favorites on many rock stations. With its panoramic imagery, thundering production and desperate optimism, 'Born to Run' is considered by some fans to be the best rock-and-roll album of all time and Springsteen's finest work. To cap off the triumph, Springsteen appeared on the covers of both Time and Newsweek in the same week, on October 27 of that year."
