Default Bruce Nights 9 and 10 Review

Read down the messages for night 10
Night 9 - My God - there is nothing else I can say about last nights concert.
The following is copied from Backstreets.com as they say it better than I do. I'll be there tonight but I have my doubts that it will top this.

(NOT JUST) ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT!
In the world of Bruce Springsteen concerts, some nights seem earmarked as special before the first note is even played. Whether it's a birthday show or the last concert of a lengthy stand, sometimes you just get a hunch. There weren't many good hunches flying around after Thursday's standard set, filmed by a professional crew. So Saturday night at Giants Stadium (night 9 of 10, if you're keeping score) caught quite a few folks off guard as Springsteen raised the stakes and had the crowd raising their hands in joy, gratitude, and disbelief. As the filming continued--with still no official word as to why--Bruce and the band busted out of the gate with the ultra-rare "Janey, Don't You Lose Heart," and established new possibilities for a Rising Tour that is most likely a month away from wrapping. Eleven songs not played the night before, ten songs in the encores, two special guests, tour premieres, rarities, dedications...this one had it all. Highlights (and there were many) included "Trapped," "Roll of the Dice," "Because the Night," and the second appearance of "Pretty Flamingo" since 1978. Springsteen dedicated the main-set closer "Thunder Road" to the family and memory of Jim Berger, who was killed in the September 11 tragedy. Emmylou Harris joined Bruce for a poignant "Across the Border," and the Philadelphia-based band Marah helped out on "Raise Your Hand." A special night for many, this seemed to be the show that said, "Hang on Philly, Jersey's back in town!" Night three--or closing night at Giants Stadium--is set for Sunday. Anybody got a hunch?

1) Janey Don't You Lose Heart
2) The Rising
3) Lonesome Day
4) Candy's Room
5) Trapped
6) Empty Sky
7) Waitin' On A Sunny Day
Roll Of The Dice
9) Because The Night
10) Badlands
11) Out In the Streets
12) Mary's Place
13) Across The Border with Emmylou Harris
14) Into The Fire
15) Thunder Road - special dedication to the family of Jim Berger
-end of main set-

16) This Hard Land
17) Raise Your Hand w/ Marah
1 Glory Days
19) Born To Run
20) Seven Nights To Rock
-very short break in between-

21) My City Of Ruins
22) Land of Hope and Dreams
23) PRETTY FLAMINGO!!!!!!!!
24) Rosalita
25) Dancing in the Dark

I think so too, but I don't know what the deal is.

Once again copied from Backstreets - it's all over and what a way to close it out.

August 31 / East Rutherford, NJ / Giants Stadium
Notes: Night 10 at Giants Stadium closed out the stand in style, with a fantastic mix of the old and the new, greatest hits and greatest misses, all for an ecstatic Labor Day weekend crowd. Mix together the last two nights of a lengthy stand with the attendance of a working film crew and what you get are the kinds of setlists that Springsteen fans have been longing for since this Tour began. If you knew tonight’s opener from the first few notes, well, step to the front of the line of The Legion of Bruce. The sounds of “Cynthia” hit the New Jersey air just after 8:30pm to make her live performance debut, and it made this show a real “yeah, yeah, alright!!” for diehards. Other standouts: “Lucky Town,” “Spirit in the Night,” “Lost in the Flood,” and for the second night in a row “Because the Night” sizzled like a fried egg on a hot Texas street. Um, and that was before the encores. “Kitty’s Back” kicked those off, only to be topped by the “will-he-or-won’t-he” (he will!) appearance of Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl” to close things out. Springsteen thanked those of his fans who come to the shows night after night, with a special nod to those long distance travelers.
Setlist:
Cynthia/
The Rising/
Lonesome Day/
Night/
Lucky Town/
Empty Sky/
Waitin' on a Sunny Day/
Spirit in the Night/
Because the Night/
Badlands/
Two Hearts/
No Surrender/
Mary's Place/
Lost in the Flood/
Into the Fire/
The Promised Land
First Encore:
Kitty's Back/
Glory Days/
Born to Run
Second Encore:
My City of Ruins/
Land of Hope and Dreams/
Rosalita/
Dancing in the Dark/
Jersey Girl

My sig says it all
Kathleen

I forgot to say that during Jersey Girl the couple sitting next to us got engaged. Our entire section went nuts - great way to end the night.
