    Saturday night show in North Charleston, S.C. was simply spectacular. Bruce is a sensational performer.

    Interesting review in my old paper - comments are fun, as always. Great show even though the sound sucked?

    Even though "I'll Work for Your Love" is the most cliched of Bruce song titles, I love the first few lines of that song.

    I love that whole song "I'll Work for your Love." It's my favorite off Magic. There are some great lines in that song, especially the one about the pages of revelation in your empty eyes of blue.

    Awesome show tonight. They played 4 songs based on fan's signs as well as a request that Bruce introduced by saying "we don't know this one." It was "Part Man, Part Monkey" (hope I got the title right). There were a ton of kids in the pit and Bruce really played to them and let some of them sing. He was so high energy. More when I'm more awake.

    Don't think I've ever heard the boys do "Boom Boom", which I assume is the old John Lee Hooker song covered by the Animals among others.
