Guitarist Steve Van Zandt recalled the promise of the E Street Band's powers shining through on some of his and Springsteen's darkest days as bandmates after “The Big Man's” 2011 death: “A lot of discussion. I think that's the most me and Bruce talked about anything since we were kids. We must've had six months of discussions about it, and I think we made a lot of good decisions, beginning with — let's turn the tour into a sort of anything goes. Let's include all 40 years of what you've been doing — including the E Street Band, of course. And have a band big enough to handle anything you feel like doing — be it standing there by himself with and acoustic guitar all the way to the biggest possible production with everything else in between.”
