^^^

I was wrong, wasn't I? mea culpa, me aculpa, mea maxima culpa

(My friends did back to back shows on Thursday & Friday and look tired, but said they had a blast and are still on the "Boss-inspired" high.)

Wildheart69: Hope you have a good time on the 20th.

It is indeed. ''The Nothing Man'', pure Boss brilliance.

(I just watched your video. Completely epic.)

Three shows into the Giants Stadium stand, audiences have now gotten a taste of all three albums that Bruce and the E Street Band are playing top to bottom: Born to Run, Darkness, and Born in the U.S.A. Later this week, Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A. will be reprised at the final two nights of the stand, Thursday and Friday nights, respectively.

But the swamps of Jersey won't be the only place to hear this trio: the Spectrum has just announced that Bruce and the band will be giving Philly audiences the same treatment when that stand starts next week:

* Tue, Oct 13 - Born to Run
* Wed, Oct 14 - Darkness on the Edge of Town
* Mon, Oct 19 - Born to Run
* Tue, Oct 20 - Born in the U.S.A.

I am going to the one on the 20th! I am so excited!

How did the concert go?

Oh man! AMAZING! We got on the rail in the front of the second pit. During Hungry Heart he came right to us and came over the rail and just laid back into us (not for the crowd surfing part, just a "Hold on to me, I'm taking a rest" moment!

Then during Spirit in The Night he came over again and I grabbed his hand, but my sister got a hold of him and got a big hug from him and she planted a big kiss on his cheek. It was an amazing experience.

I made a "Needles and Pins" request, but it didnt get played, but Steven saw it and gave it a nod. But my sister made a sign that said "Save The Last Dance For Me!" so she could get on stage during Dancing in the Dark, but he ended up playing the song "Save the Last Dance For Me" instead b/c he brought his mom up on stage to dance.

I have a couple crappy pics I am just now getting onto the net. Some were taken on mine and my sister has some on hers, but she hasnt posted them yet. I will get some on in a min.

Go to backstreets.com and read the reviews!

Here is a really bad one of when he came over the second time... I think I got some from the first time on my sister's camera

AWESOME!!!

But how could you leave out that they finally did THE PRICE YOU PAY??

Nico · #54 10-23-2009, 01:09 AM

Thanks so much for sharing those. He's incredible...just. Wow. I'm going to see him again. I totally just saw him in Chicago and I went out and got tix to another show almost immediately after because it is SO WORTH spending my hard-earned money on him. He's that good.

Great pics btw.

Ha! Well I figured this was a Mac board and nobody would get excited about that! The original drummer, Vini Lopez, was also there and played on Spirit in The Night... I actually got to see/hear them play it during soundcheck so it wasnt as big of a surprise that he was in the house. I just thought he would have played more.

It was just an amazing show - one that many are calling one of the best ever

Those are cool photos... Not crappy ones! It is exciting to see photos which are so up close. I am too old to get up front and I read that life in the pit (at the Giants stadium) can be crowded and some Italian guys needed to use deodrant.... but i am glad that there are folks like you out there living the excitement and sharing it with the rest of us. Bravo! And thank you.

And on another note...I also like reading that Bruce danced with his mom. I am off to Youtube to see some footage...being a mom myself and now a grandma, that warms my heart.

Thanks for the review and the photos.

P.S . Are the wrist bands for the lucky folks who make it to the pit?

WildHeart69 · #57 10-24-2009, 03:42 AM

The wristbands were all numbered for the Pit lottery... the people that actually got in the pit got a second wristband

Did the Boss sing Rhiannon at one of these tour stops? He is rumored to have done so.

WildHeart69 · #59 10-24-2009, 04:20 PM

^ No, I have been keeping up with the sets and I never came across this.

Springsteen cancels show after roadie's deathThe Associated Press, October 26, 2009

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Bruce Springsteen canceled a performance in Kansas City after his cousin and road crew member died.

The death of 36-year-old Lenny Sullivan was announced in a statement on Springsteen's Web site.

Sullivan was found dead at Kansas City's Intercontinental Hotel hours before Springsteen and the E Street Band were to take the stage Monday night.

Kansas City police spokesman Capt. Rich Lockhart said officers were investigating the death, although he said it was not suspicious.
A call to Springsteen's publicist was not immediately returned.

The Sprint Center arena said tickets would be refunded.
