The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

oh yeah the piano version is great i meant the album version live just aint quite the same.. and yeah live in barcelona wat a show!!

Those two make me envious too. However Mary Queen of Arkans.........zzzzzzz would put me to sleep LOL.

I just heard Does this Bus last weekend so I won't be too jealous of Buffalo.

Hmm . . . maybe they'll have to practice a tune or 2 in Nashville on Wednesday. I really wish they had spread the albums around a little more. BTR is great, and I'm positive that I'll thoroughly enjoy it again, but I'd have loved one of the other albums rather than BTR 4 times out of the 7 full album shows I got.

Good point, Mary Queen and The Angel would bore me to death too - but I'd take those two boring songs if it meant getting the rest of the album! Amazing piece of work that thing is.

And considering Lost In The Flood is one of my all time favourite Bruce songs, I'd kill to hear it live

Oh Bruce, you make me love you and hate you at the same time.

Yeah! and I'm still waiting on hearing For You - full band.

I guess I take so much for granted - I've heard For You (full band) like quite a few times. Ditto for Lost in the Flood, which is also a favorite.

The only one I always wanted to see live - and never did - was The Promise. He will do it solo acoustic on occasion so I suppose I still have a shot at hearing it at an acoustic Bruce show.

This brings me to a thought I've had floating around for months now.

Obviously my first E Street Band show this year will most likely be my last, so from now on it'll mainly be acoustic shows I'll see - still, this is assumption only.

So let's say I get I don't know...Adam Raised A Cain at an acoustic show. It's a song I'd love to hear live, but full band. Luckily I love the acoustic versions Bruce did on the Tom Joad tour, but ultimatley it's the full band version I'd prefer to hear. So if I got Adam at an acoustic show, could I cross it off as hearing it live, or would I not be able to cross it off until I hear the full band version live?

Does that make sense to you all?

If it does - I know it sounds like a stupid thing to fret about but I'm like that

If you went to a Bon jovi show and you heard wanted acoustically, and you just happened to have never heard the band play the song as a full band before, would you count that as hearing it? Or if you heard never say goodbye acoustic, would you cross that off as hearing it live? I think so.

Songs done acoustically can sometimes be a bit more intimate, but usually only in smaller venues. The E Street Band pack a huge sound, and although I would love to go and see Bruce solo I don't think you can beat one of those pants-dropping, hard-rocking, booty-shaking, earth-quaking, nerve-breaking, Viagra-taking, history-making, legendary … E-STREET BAND performances. They were awesome at Manchester in 2007 and I'm gutted I missed them earlier this year.

Saw this a couple of years back in LA -
