Max Weinberg Rocks the Cavern with Triple Gig Marathon During Springsteen’s Liverpool Tour
Last week, legendary drummer Max Weinberg brought his Jukebox band to the Cavern Club for not one, but three unforgettable, high-energy gigs — all while in town performing with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Anfield.
Hot off the back of a three-hour stadium performance with ‘The Boss’ just the night before, Max showed no signs of slowing down. The (insert age here)-year-old powerhouse delivered three epic sets over two nights at the Cavern, proving his stamina is as legendary as his rhythm.
The gigs came during a week when the whole city of Liverpool was buzzing with excitement. Springsteen performed in Liverpool for the very first time in his illustrious career, and the atmosphere was electric across the city. Fans were thrilled to spot Bruce visiting iconic Liverpool landmarks, including a trip to Paul McCartney’s famous LIPA academy — with none other than Sir Paul himself as his personal tour guide! The magic continued when Sir Paul made a surprise appearance on stage at Anfield on Saturday night, joining Bruce for a truly historic moment.
Back at the Cavern, Max and his band powered through fan-requested rock and roll classics in an intimate, high-octane setting that had the packed crowd on their feet throughout. In between sets, Max took the time to meet fans, pose for photos, and share stories from his incredible career. During his visit, Max was also inducted into the Cavern’s legendary Wall of Fame, a fitting tribute to his contribution to rock music.
Max now joins a growing list of E Street Band members who have played the world-famous Cavern stage. Little Steven Van Zandt and the Disciples of Soul previously blew the roof off with their unforgettable full-band performance, squeezing a full soulful set complete with a brass section onto the Cavern’s famously cosy stage.
It was an honour to welcome Max Weinberg and his Jukebox to the Cavern — now all that’s left is to welcome ‘The Boss’ himself!
