yes.
Jackson played on some album songs, but he was not the bass player on tour. Tommy Sims played bass on the 92-93 tour.
I didn't realize it was the same Randy Jackson. Thanks.
Was one of the Jackson 5 named Randy?

Oh, yeah, knowing he played the bass guitar with Bruce makes me respect his Idol criticism a lot more.

No Randy - you can see real Randy Jackson playing in at least one of the iTunes videos - Better Days being one I know off hand.

I wonder why he didn't go out on the tour, too.
You know, Bruce had a lot of black bandmembers that tour and I always thought it was strange because there are hardly any black people who like (or ADMIT they like) Bruce. Not a racist, by the way, just making a observation. Were most of the musicians on the albums black, too? Human Touch is definately a very soul and R&B album.

Steven Randall "Randy" Jackson (born October 29, 1961 in Gary, Indiana) is an American singer and musician, a member of the Jacksons. Nicknamed "Little Randy", he was the ninth out of ten Jackson children to be born (one was stillborn) and is the youngest son in the Jackson family.
"Valentine, my name is Mortimer Duke."
"Mortayy!"
"And this is my brother Randolph Duke."
"Randy!! Is that like Randy Jackson of the Jackson 5?"

The musicians on HT...half black, half white. But the core group was 3/4 white...and so the album turned out to be about 1/4 soul/R&B.
Bruce Springsteen ? guitar and lead vocals, bass on "57 Channels (and nothin' on)"
Randy Jackson ? bass
Jeff Porcaro ? drums/percussion
Roy Bittan ? keyboards
Patti Scialfa ? harmony vocals on "Human Touch" and "Pony Boy"
Michael Fisher ? percussion on "Soul Driver"
Bobby Hatfield ? harmony vocals on "I Wish I Were Blind"
Bobby King ? backing vocals on "Roll of the Dice" and "Man's Job"
Sam Moore ? backing vocals on "Soul Driver", "Roll of the Dice, "Real World" and "Man's Job"
Tim Pierce ? second guitar on "Soul Driver" and "Roll of the Dice"
David Sancious ? hammond organ on "Soul Driver" and "Real Man"
Wait are you telling me Patti is black?
I think both Porcaro and Gary Mallabar, who did the drumming on the Lucky Town sessions, turned down offers to join the tour. It wouldn't surprise me if Randy Jackson turned them down as well.
Yeah but those two guys are white and I think Bruce was trying to build a blacker band for a blacker sound. I don't know why. I saw three shows on that tour and the crowd was as white as ever.

Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.
There's a band around called "Free Beer". Always draws a big crowd.
The recurring joke is that there have always been more black people on stage than in the crowd at a Bruce Springsteen show.

Are you counting on the folks who work the concession areas?
