Night one was awesome but night 2 - The River - crossed the border to sublime. Honestly - that's as close to a religious experience as I want to get. I had chills and tears and was left with a whole lot of respect for Bruce who sang every one of those songs as if he really meant them.
Even light tracks like I've Got a Crush on You (introduced as the masterpiece of the River - tongue in cheek) was sung as it was meant to be heard - it wasn't a throwaway.
Fade Away was one of the chills - the way he ended it on his knees just added to the impact.
But the songs that don't get much play - Point Blank, The Price You Pay, Drive all Night were absolutely showstoppers.
I guess if I never see them as a band again - I can't complain after a night like this. What a way to end it.
