Late Night
with Conan O'Brien: |
Seit den Anfängen
der Talkshow "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" im Jahre 1993 war
Max Weinberg ständiger Leiter der Showband "The Max
Weinberg 7". Ausserdem fungierte
Max Weinberg als Co-Host und durfte sein komödiantisches Können
unter Beweis stellen. Leider wurde die beliebte NBC-Show im
Frühjahr 2010 abgesetzt.
Daraufhin gründete Max Weinberg die "Max Weinberg Big
Band" und entschloss sich, seine Fernsehkarriere vorerst auf Eis zu
legen und mit Bruce Springsteen auf Tour zu gehen.
Im September
2010 wurde bekannt, dass Conan O'Brien ab November 2010 auf "TBS
Network" seine
Late-Night-Show weiterführen wird. Max Weinberg lehnte ein neues
Engagement jedoch ab. Die
Pressemeldung vom 27.09.2010:
-
By mutual agreement, Conan O'Brien's longtime bandleader, Max Weinberg will not be returning to lead the late night band he created in 1993 as Conan moves to his new home at TBS on November 8th.
Beginning on September 13th of 1993 "The Max Weinberg 7" and later "Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band" were favorites among both fans and critics. With an uncanny ability to combine high quality music and unmatched comedic timing Max played a pivotal role in Conan O'Brien's nightly shows.
Conan O'Brien stated, "Max has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and he is an incredible band leader and musician. I hope he can find time to stop by the new show, sit in with the band, and pretend to find my monologue funny."
Added Weinberg, "17 years — a lifetime on TV. Conan and I met on a New York City street corner in the Spring of 1993 and my association with Conan, his staff, and crew has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. And, making music with Jimmy Vivino, Mark Pender, La Bamba, Jerry Vivino, Scott Healey, Mike Merritt, and percussionist James Wormsworth enabled me to become a better musician and bandleader. I thank them for their first rate work on the bandstand. I wish Conan and his show the best and I do look forward to dropping by."

Oktober 2000 veröffentliche Max Weinberg mit der "Conan
O'Brien Showband" ein eigenes Album:
The Max Weinberg 7

Called “the rhythmic backbone of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band” by Robert Palmer of The New York Times, Max has been heard on such landmark albums as Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, and Tunnel of Love, as well as 2 of the top-selling albums of all time: Born in the U.S.A. and Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell
The Max Weinberg 7 is produced by Max Weinberg and arranged by Jimmy Vivino. Executive Producers are Ken Kreisel, Eric Gardner, and Stephen
Powers.

Max Weinberg's
Jukebox: |
Während Bruce Springsteen am New Yorker Broadway sein Soloprojekt
“Springsteen On Broadway” präsentierte,
war Max Weinberg mit seiner “Jukebox Tour” unterwegs. Mit seiner vierköpfigen Begleitband
trat er regelmässig in kleinen Clubs auf und forderte die
Zuschauer auf, ihre Lieblingssongs aus den 1960er und 1970er Jahre zu
nennen.
In einem Interview mit PressOfAtlanticCity.com erklärte der 66jährige Musiker, dass die Shows keine Konzerte, sondern Parties sind.
Auszug aus dem Online Bericht:
“It’s not a concert, it’s a party. At a normal concert the band plays their songs and hopefully they play the song you wanted to hear, but sometimes they don’t, and that’s how this whole concept for Max Weinberg’s Jukebox came about. Because we’ve all had the experience of going to see a band and they don’t play the song that you want to hear. So the concept for this is that the audience picks all the songs over a two hour period — and it gets pretty pandemonium-like in there.” /

Max Weinberg
als Buchautor: |
Im Jahre 1980
erlitt Weinberg eine Sehnenscheidenentzündung, die sieben Operationen
an seinem Handgelenk nach sich zogen. Während dieser Zeit veröffentlichte
er ein Buch mit dem Titel "The Big Beat - Conversations
with Rock's Greatest Drummers". Das Buch entwickelte sich
innerhalb weniger Monate zum Verkaufsschlager und wanderte in den Vereinigten
Staaten weit über 100.000 Mal über den Ladentisch.
Pressetext:

The
author of this book, Max Weinberg, has been the drummer
with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band since 1974. In this
book he invites 14 of rock's great drummers to step out
from behind their drums and take the spotlight. Commenting
on the musical traditions they inspired, these drummers
offer distinct perspectives on the origins of rock music
and its 35-year growth. The book's subjects include Ringo
Starr of the Beatles, Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones,
Levon Helm of The Band and Dino Danelli of the Young Rascals.
Max Weinberg holds "Rolling Stone" magazine's
Best Drummer Award for 1986.
