It was absolutely amazing!!!! The man can sing and is a true performer!! The way he worked the crowd.. the requests.. wow! I've seen him 3 times now but yesterday blew me away! Highlights were definitely The River, Lonesome Day, Darlington County, Because the Night and Summertime Blues - Someone really wanted that one, it was hillarious to see him and Steve van Zandt discuss which key to play it and see if they knew all the words.. not surprising since they haven't played it since 1982!!!! It was a brilliant show.. I'm still at a loss for words and have definitely become even more of a fan than I already was.. WOW!

Yeah Bruce will do that to you Tash. I guess it's why I've been a fan since the seventies - no matter when I see him he (and the band) only seems to get better. I'm glad you enjoyed your show.

I just read this over on Greasy Lake - damn. No I don't pay for Sirius. My son might though and I'm gonna ask him.

It's rather strange going to intermingling Bruce and Bon Jovi shows. Last fall I started with 4 Bruce shows here in NJ in October - and then went to all Bon Jovi 10 Prudential shows - and then finished with 3 Bruce shows in Albany and Boston. After each show my husband and I would look at at each other and ask - Bruce or Bon Jovi? Last fall - Bruce won hands down - the Prudential shows were just not that good except for 2 of them.

So in a few weeks it will be Bon Jovi in Boston and New York and then Bruce at Giants. We'll see if Bon Jovi has improved enough to continue competing LOL.

I saw Bruce live in Milan last week. It was probably the best concert I've ever seen. 29 songs for a 3 hours show.
As much as I love the E Street Band, I gotta say that Bruce stole the show this time. He was just crazy, he took banners from crowd and played some songs by request. It was mind blowing.
Many people think this is the last tour for Bruce and the band together and I guess it may be true. If this tour is a "goodbye", it's the best possible one!
