We were pretty amazed at the number of folks in attendance who were in the 55 to 75 year-old range. And, apparently, "they" can still drive at night. LOL.
Springsteen is a jerk for allowing this .
Aaron Lewis has nice things to say about him in his great song,Am I the Only One.
The band, particularly Steven Van Zandt, were vocal that Greensboro set a standard. But a lot of chatter about MSG being a high energy show. Have seen various shows at MSG, and there is something about MSG that brings out the best in many artists. World class venue, and spectacularly well run. Little things they do there make a big difference in the experience. The acoustics (IMO) are good too.
I have no strong feelings either way. On one hand her vocals add a lot on songs from the Tunnel of Love. On the other hand, there are no songs from that album on the setlist, and the band seems more fluid and looser without her.
I missed the ToL tour, and I regret it. The construction and lyrical content of that album are superb, IMO. On some days, I could put ToL as his 3rd best album, but on most it's 4th.
At the first tailgate of 2023, I will sing the album acapella.We can agree to disagree.
Went last night to UBS arena. Fabulous arena and outstanding show. Show lasted close to 3 hours. Bruce was in great form. High energy performance.
Man is Jake channeling his Uncle Clarence on saxophone. The interaction between Bruce and Jake is fantastic. The solo at the end of Prove It All Night!!!!
While not a favorite, Pay Me My Money Down was rollicking. On one of the forums, Pink Shirt Girl has become a bit of celebrity fan (lower right in crowd).
Dancing in the Dark featuring . . . .
was this before of after Van Zandt's profanity and hate filled tirade calling for hte nurder of all republicans?
I remember seeing him at the Spectrum, think it was 2009, he went into one of his lefty PSAs. The “moan” throughout the crowd was loud and clear. So I disagree. They didn’t leave for the bathroom or beer run like they did Outlaw Pete but the displeasure was evident
Moose- kindly stay out of this topic. You have posted several times trying to stir the pot. Not a single mention of anything political last night. The overriding theme of the show is making the most of your life on earth while you are here. Being a good person, being part of a community and helping others. Bruce is obviously feeling his own mortality at 73 after seeing many of his friends pass away. He ends the show with "The E Street Band loves you." Who could get riled up by any of that.
We did the Clark Griswold Wally World thing. We parked way down the road at a shopping center and hoofed it to the UBS. Worked like a charm getting there and out. I had read about all of the parking debacles with other shows and Islander games.
Oh I couldn’t give a rat’s rear what SVZ says. But I think ppl should be aware of what the ppl they lionize have in their heart. This is a hateful little man. And he is little. What is he, 4 foot 3 and about 120 soak & wet?
Setlist is fairly static for Springsteen shows. With little variability and higher cost of tickets, I will probably be good for one show. Maybe will try for a stadium show if the setlists evolve.
No, there is a show in Newark on April 14. That's it. IMO, highly doubt any of those get played, but I know nothing. Thinking something from The Rising or Letter to You. House of 1000 Guitars? Waiting on a Sunny Day or Further on up the Road? Jungleland again would be cool. Think Newark will get Jersey Girl.
