He (and I) come from an era of "don't sit home and listen to a record - get your ass out to a rock and roll show" Bruce really believes in the power of live music - and it shows.

I guess you could say that I like them for all of the above. I think the only shows that I have been completely "in the moment" all the way through are Bruce shows.

My all time favorite album is Born to Run with Jungleland being right at the top of the list of favorites - tied perhaps with Thunder Road. They were both on the same album LOL.

I would have listed a few long ago gigs here in Jersey as my favorites until I saw 9 out of the 10 shows at Giants Stadium in 2003. All those shows just blew away all the others.

If I had to pick just one I would go for the last night at Giants Stadium this past summer - Bruce and the band were simply on fire - very enthusiastic - and the setlists were all over the place. Bruce took requests on signs and played just about anything: Any time you get Incident and Jungleland and Jersey Girl at the same show it's pretty special. Here's the setlist:

01 Summertime Blues
02 Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
03 Radio Nowhere
04 Prove It All Night
05 Two Hearts
06 The Promised Land
07 Spirit In The Night
08 Light Of Day
09 Brilliant Disguise
10 Pretty Flamingo
11 Blinded By The Light
12 Cadillac Ranch
13 Candy's Room
14 Night
15 Because the Night
16 She's the One
17 Livin' in the Future
18 Mary's Place
19 Incident on 57th Street
20 The Rising
21 Last to Die
22 Long Walk Home
23 Badlands
24 Jungleland
25 Born to Run
25 Bobby Jean
27 Dancing in the Dark
28 American Land
29 Jersey Girl
30 Rosalita
