Hey Bruce fans

Interesting that last night Bruce sang "Tougher than the Rest", the song that he usually dedicates to Patti for their anniversary or her birthday.

 

Bruce just wrapped up a pair of great shows in Philly - the second night was superior to the first.
The second night also included Harry Kalas calling a Bruce Springsteen grand slam - the call and the story behind it can be found here: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inthemix/Harry_Kalas_Calls_Springsteen_Grand_Slam_.html

Night 2 also featured a great cover the Clash's "London Calling"

If anyone has an extra good single ticket for each night they can sell me at the Meadowlands I can hit the century mark for number of shows I've seen.

 

Would have loved to have heard "London Calling." That time he did it with Elvis, et al was great.

 

The internet is an amazing thing..

 

"London Calling" was awesome last night. Actually the whole show was great (shocking news I know), including Bruce's mother singing a few lines of "Hungry Heart", which probably won't happen at any other shows this tour.

As far as tickets, there are usually tickets released in the last few days before the show. If you're willing to be patient you can probably find some at face value and not have to pay Stubhub prices. Of course Springsteen has been touring every year since 2003 in one form or another, so ticket demand isn't that high in some cities either (outside the northeast U.S. anyway).

 

I, myself, am intrigued with the $11428 seat in State College...

 

And I just assumed you were linking to the old Bruce/Elvis version. I'm glad i clicked. Thanks.

 

Need to up the beats-per-minute, Bruce.

 

For those that haven't seen this parody yet, it's a riot:

 

leaving in 30 minutes for bruce's show at nassau coliseum. it will be the best three hours i've had in months ad expect it to be for several more. never have my expectations failed to be met -- covering more than 40 shows in 30 years. ;D ;D ;D

woo-hoo!! will check back with a mini-review later.

 

guess that hitler clip/spoof is multi-purposeful. it's oft-used to mock the cowboys after hard losses. never gets old.

ciao, 'til after the show!!! ;D ;D ;D

 

Hey, I was in Greensboro this weekend for the super party and was in the pit, about two people from the stage and close enough to touch Bruce. Too tired to write a mini-review now because I came straight in to work after flying back this morning but let it be said, Ohio State fans haven't seen "Hang On Sloopy" done right unless they were in the old Coliseum barn Saturday night. Unbelievable show and crowd and he even pulled out "Human Touch." Lots of memories I'll have for a long time from this one.
