Curious!! What song was it? "Into the Fire" or "I'm on Fire"?

Nevermind, I just found it. It's a Bruce oldie called "Fire"

Isn't that a Pointer Sisters song?

I thought so too!
But as per wikipedia: "Fire" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen in 1977 which had its highest profile as a 1978 single release by the Pointer Sisters.

Bruce Springsteen envisioned "Fire" as a song which could be recorded by his idol Elvis Presley, the song being written during the period after Springsteen had seen Presley live at a May 28, 1977 concert at the Spectrum (Philadelphia): Springsteen would allege "I sent Elvis a demo of it but he died August 16, 1977 before it arrived."

Wow! Cool back story. Thanks!

Not crazy about Thick as Thieves but nice to see a setlist change with a song debut. Sweet story about Kaden too. I like how "for Kaden" was even typed on the setlist.

Interactive seat maps on ticketmaster show tons of seats still unsold for the upcoming shows. Even Vegas has blocks of seats in every section except pit and front floor. The plug should've been pulled on this tour when Tico got sick. It would've been a valid excuse since ticket sales are in the toilet anyway.

YES they should just cancel the rest of the tour.

Two original members of the band on tour, two missing. As soon as Tico got sick, they should have stopped the tour.

Of course you don't recover from losing an appendix and a gall bladder overnight, but in view of how forthcoming the band was about Dave's near-fatal illness, all we can do is hope that there isn't something more serious going on -- such as chemotherapy.

But that's making mountains out of molehills. They were being forthcoming to a much smaller audience pre making an album. Here you have them in the middle of a tour and they're far more popular now then they were in 1998.
