Springsteen Concert vs others

Not sure this is the right place to post this but....

Dogstar and I went to the Bruce Springsteen concert on the 11th. It was amazing. I'm NOT that into his music, but wanted to go see what all the fuss was about. His shows are legendary around these parts. I like the older Springsteen music, not much into his stuff after 85. Well, I was in awe. The man is 53. He puts most younger performers to shame. He has no opening band. He just gets out there and rocks from the first to the last song. There were only a few VERY short breaks (some less than a minute.)in the 3+hour show. He sang, he played and he RAN around on stage like a kid. He slid across the stage on his knees (several diff. times), he jumped on the piano and sang, he ran around down by the pit, he ran from end to end. His energy level never seemed to waiver. He was ON! His voice was also ON. He was perfect in each and every song...each and every note.
How many bands...including our beloved Creed....can put on a show like that? We are lucky if they play for more than an hour and a half. Most have never play for more than 2 hours....and there are lenghty (some as long as 15 minutes) breaks during that time. How is it that this 53 year old man can sing and run around for 3+ hours.....and the much younger guys can't??? Hmmmmm makes you wonder.
You ROCK Bruce!!!
