Although I'd love to go to the second Philly show, I've got class that night. So I'll have to settle for just the first show.
I'll also be aiming for one or both MSG shows.
With a kid and no job, I won't be travelling to any shows again this tour.
 
Yay! Detroit show on a Friday night and I'm already off so no need to take a vac day. We'll probably go to one more show this leg, maybe Chicago, three days before Bruce's 60th. Or possibly Charlotte with the free brother hotel!

Wait until the day of the show and you never know. When he came here the box office dropped the price of some seats to $15 a day or two beforehand.
 
Most of the best reserved seats will go on sale the week of the show or the day of the show if history is any indication.
Also, outside of the northeast corridor, there were be bargains galore in the parking lot.

I've never heard of that happening. Bruce shoes are know for their day of show "drops", but that means that tickets are released, not that prices are reduced.

Not sure how many I'll attend. Probably shoot for one at MSG and one in Philly (which has had the best overall quality of any location)

I was pretty surprised, too. I assume sales were lagging. The seats were directly behind the stage. (Of course, this was through Ticketmaster, so the $15 tickets were really about $29 after all the surcharges.)
 
Are these ticketmaster tickets....?

I just checked the site and there was no mention of it in "upcoming shows"
 
MSG tix are not yet on sale. But there were additonal tix for the Giants Stadium shows released last week so I upgraded my seats for Oct. 8 to a much better location.
If anybody wants upper deck (sect. 331) at GS on Oct. 8 (Thursday) PM me. I've got four I'm willing to sell for face value ($75+ Ticketmaster fees = $88).

The shows start going on sale on staggered dates beginning tomorrow and Saturday and then on various dates through August. The Detroit show, for example, goes on sale Aug. 22 so maybe they're not up on TicketMaster yet.

For Philly they usually use their own outfit - ComcastTix, but the shows go onsale Monday and aren't listed there yet, however they are listed on Live Nation.
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 22, 2009: Music's biggest stars - Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, U2, Paul Simon, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Friends, Simon and Garfunkel - will come together on October 29th and 30th at Madison Square Garden for two unique concerts celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The shows, presented by American Express, will be packed with guest stars and unique collaborations designed to tell the story of rock and roll. American Express(R) Cardmembers have access to advance tickets through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 starting 9 a.m. on Monday, July 27th. Additional sponsorship support for the event is being provided by Bacardi.

Each night will feature entirely different line-ups, with artists performing their own songs and the music that inspired them -tracing the history of genres ranging from soul to hard rock. All proceeds raised will go towards creating a permanent endowment for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum. "Twenty-five years ago a group led by legendary Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun created this foundation to recognize and celebrate the music and careers of artists whose music helped shape and define our generation," said Jann Wenner, Founder and Chairman of Rolling Stone and Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "These once-in-a-lifetime concerts are designed to celebrate the artists and their music." A creative team of Tom Hanks and his producing partner Gary Goetzman, Wenner, singer-songwriter Robbie Robertson, Academy Award(R)-winning screenwriter, director Cameron Crowe and several others will work with the artists to curate the show through the live performances and filmed segments. Joel Gallen, the producer/director behind the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies and the MTV Movie Awards (1995-2006), will direct the show and oversee the 25th Anniversary Celebration along with the creative consultants.

This event is being presented in conjunction with the American Express Concert Series. American Express offers Cardmembers the exclusive opportunity to purchase advanced tickets to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation 25th Anniversary Celebration, prior to public. Tickets will be available for purchase with an American Express Card through ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000, from 9 a.m. Monday, July 27th, through Sunday, August 2nd at 9 p.m. Tickets will be on sale to the general public beginning Monday, August 3rd at 9 a.m.

The Rock and Roll of Fame Foundation and Museum's anniversary celebration will also extend beyond the concerts, with both a book and a deluxe DVD set to be released this fall. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The First 25 Years, chronicling 25 years of induction ceremonies, will be published by Collins Design (an imprint of HarperCollins) in September. In August, Time Life will issue a nine-DVD boxed set of highlights of the past induction ceremonies, featuring speeches and all-star performances, many that have never before seen by the public.

Performing on October 29th will be:
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Simon & Garfunkel
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Friends
Paul Simon
Stevie Wonder

Performing on October 30th will be:
Eric Clapton

Hard to believe it's been 10 years to the day since:


and 6 years since:



and one of the wildest versions of Ramrod I have witnessed, the person divided the video into two parts. After an all day rain and clouds most of the concert, a spectacular full moon appeared over the stadium during the encores:
