New Springsteen single out today

Guy in my aisle paid $200 today for the section I got for $90ish. Said his friends from Tampa called and told him the opening show was incredible the other night.

 

Watching on Facebook Live and very jealous.

 

I’ve been to a couple of concerts before of the amphitheater variety but never to a big arena show with all the bells and whistles - for any artist. So when I say this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I truly mean it.

I think I picked a good un for my one big splurge. My God what an incredible night of rock and roll. If Bruce S. himself never showed, the firepower of the remaining group would very nearly justify the ticket anyway. Incredible musicianship everywhere.

I was a little worried for the man himself when the opening song sounded muddy, but they straightened out the sound mix and the rest of the night was crystal clear. I was in the very last row up top, but looking straight down at the pit in front of the stage.

I’ll let the truly devoted fans weigh in on how much of any Bruce has slowed down, but to me I don’t feel like I have anything to regret seeing him at 73 versus 43 (excepting of course the original band members who have passed on.) It was three hours of honest effort for my rock n roll dollar.

 

I was at the Atlanta show last night. Just fantastic. Greensboro in 6 weeks.

 

I purposely listened for it. It was "sways" last night.

Also, moments before the sax solo, Jake stood center stage, tapped his chest and pointed to the sky, then completely hammered it. I had tears. It's been a long six years since seeing them.

I'm easy, but I loved the show. Kitty's Back and E Street Shuffle really swung. Last Man Standing was haunting. Because the Night was tight as hell.

Some songs were properly left unreleased in the first place

 

The show I was supposed to see in Albany on Tuesday was postponed. Assuming Covid.

Uh oh

 

I missed the MetLife 3rd show because I took the older one for freshman drop off and had serious FOMO based on the set list. I was going to go to Baltimore and Albany to make up for it, but I guess that’s off. Oddly specific with the diagnosis.

 

Bruce extending the medical hiatus until the end of the year. Per my friend who is a gastroenterologist, that is really not an encouraging sign.
