Incidentally, I was the male portion of the "couple in their early 30's" that sat next to you at the show. I saw him a few days later in Columbus (great show, by the way, with "Rosalita," "Adam Raised a Cain," "Something in the Night, "Incident on 57th St," etc) and looked less out of place, as it had a few more youthful types from OSU. The Irish jig that Bruce played was actually not U2's "Hands that Build America" but a Springsteen song called "American Land" that can be found on the expanded Segger Sessions cd (yes, I am also a Bruce and U2 geek). Like yourself, I was also stoked to hear "Lost in the Flood," as well as "Be True," and was delighted by the politics that he injected. I hope that he goes on a "Vote for Change Tour Part II" but that's probably a pipe dream considering the unfortunate outcome of the last election. It was great to meet you at the show and I'm glad you had a good time. As you might have been able to tell, I am the Bruce Fanatic half of my marriage, but my wife very graciously indulges me (to an extent).jrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713899980118085213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-91414718094920054912008-03-26T02:23:00.000-04:002008-03-26T02:23:00.000-04:00Great review, Julie!

Gotta love him. :) I bought a t-shirt at the HRCafe in Rome that has his guitar on it and it's one of my faves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-67645954746809964012008-03-24T00:55:00.000-04:002008-03-24T00:55:00.000-04:00I am a HUGE fan.

Saw the show you just saw (with a slightly different set list of course) on Oct. 30 in LA. <BR/><BR/>I love Magic - I agree it has a similar to sound but some of those songs stand uniquely on their own. My favorite era was pre-1985. <BR/><BR/>I am wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a Pink Cadillac on the front that says "My Love is Bigger Than a Honda". I always wear a Springsteen shirt to the shows, just wish the ones I still have from the Born in the USA tour still fit me !!!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-22654511686645246482008-03-23T12:16:00.000-04:002008-03-23T12:16:00.000-04:00Great concert review, I'm glad you enjoyed yoursel...Great concert review, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.Ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469014547016164445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-52566503827702542772008-03-23T10:57:00.000-04:002008-03-23T10:57:00.000-04:00Chuck, I don't like "Magic" either.

I can't listen to it. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm a fan of the old stuff mostly and probably won't go to another E Street Band concert. I loved the "Devils and Dust" tour - the bravest, most interesting and moving concert I've ever been too. If he does the one-man version of his music again, I'd see that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-4541715733780829902008-03-23T10:46:00.000-04:002008-03-23T10:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for the onsite coverage, Julie.

I've never been a huge Boss fan, but have appreciated many of his tunes over the years - especially the anthem-like nature of "Born To Run" and also the more synthesized "Tunnel of Love" album. I was at the library yesterday and picked up his newest CD, Magic (2 copies in the bin - go figure!). It hasn't done much for me so far - his voice sounded very raw in comparison to other stuff, and the tunes didn't grab me at first listen. I'll probably give it another shot. I do enjoy a few of his "heirs apparent" - The Arcade Fire (some great joint live videos on YouTube) and expecially Joseph Arthur.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530201411426535300noreply@blogger.com
