HOLY CRAP!!!! I finally got to see Bruce after all these years (with njcreedite!!!) and boy, could the younger guns take a page out of his book. That man is 53 and he frigging ROCKED THE HOUSE at the beautiful new Lincoln Financial Field (awesome new stadium). He has boundless energy and his voice was friggin RIGHT ON, even at the end of a 3-hour plus show! WITH NO BREAKS! Everybody looked as if they were having so much fun jamming up there. Max Weinberg was awesome as was Clarence! He has to be the coolest dude. I just love him. Linda and I had a GREAT TIME!
They played a good mix of old and new including Philadelphia!!! which was quite a treat. That song makes me cry, it's really beautiful. Some of the classics: Thunder Road, Badlands, ROSALITA (in my top three all-time fave Bruce songs), Dancin' in the Dark, Darlington County(!) Born to Run...you name it. There was a full moon and he had everybody in the crowd howling like wolves. The only real break in the music came when he did this funky introduction of the band, with alliterative superlatives that had everybody rolling. He slid on his legs across the stage several times and even did his own version of rolling around on his back (it worked ;)). He also at one point was straddling a mic stand upside friggin' down. UNREAL!
His massage therapist must be worth a mint, LOL....Anyway, the band was tight and everybody played great. Patty Scialfa did a lot of pretty harmony and some cool intros to some of the songs.
If you haven't seen Bruce and you like even a few songs, GO SEE HIM!!!! Well worth the price of admission.
