Nope I'm not sure how he can top this at all. There's already one audio on Jungleland even though the sound is not the best. I'm sure there will be more and hopefully some dvd also. One discussion here is whether it is any truth to these shows being filmed for release as there were so many cameras there that we don't normally see at Bruce shows.

I can only hope!

I salute you,

"Hours before he was set to take the stage in Helsinki, Bruce surprised fans in the pit with a 5-song acoustic set. Read Charles Landau's insider account of the performance at
http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2012/pre-show-report-from-helsinki"

He never stops surprising and impressing me!
A lot of tour premieres in Helsinki and Back In Your Arms!! Man I do have a precious top-10 I still would like to hear live and that song is one of them! Amazing, just no other words then amazing

I salute you,

And it looks as if he broke the 4 hour mark today in Helsinki also. Yikes - the man is unstoppable.

I'm so pleased for Iceman and others from this board who were at this show. I know a lot of time was spent in queue's and simply waiting but it sounds as if it was worth it.

Yep, a five song solo acoustic set as a thank you to all the die hards about an hour before the showtime (I'll Work For Your Love, Leap of Faith, No Surrender, For You, Blinded By The Light), then he spent over 15 minutes just shaking hands with people and talking to them and after that an over 4-hour show with Light Of Day, Back in Your Arms Again, Does This Bus Stop..., etc. From hard rocking to heart breaking, from roaring crowds to total silence.

I don't know how anyone could top that?

Nobody! Bruce is Bruce and like we see, he is the best, top of the top!
And what a set in Helsiki, wish i was there.....

You are one lucky guy Iceman (and the others that went) for getting a show like this!
The only one's who able to top it is Bruce himself and so far I can see, everytime it can't get any better, he does it again.

Let's hope these Europe concerts say something for the upcoming concerts in the US!

I salute you,
TS

Here's I'll Work For Your Love shot by yours truly.

If anyone happens to find a bootleg of yesterday, I'd appreciate a copy. I haven't been around any of the bootleg sites in years, but I have a lot of stuff to trade if needed.

Thanks.
