Bruce was great.
Bruno Mars is into Little Richard/James Brown/ Prince; he does it well. The production is cool too. Nice stage.
Rock and roll,
Mops

The Beach Boys looked like they were all 90 years old. Mike Love's mic was really turned down. They really looked their age.

LL is a good host...good to see Stevey playing Love Me Do on Harmonica...introducing Paul McCartney!

I caught the last half of Foster the People preforming Wouldn't Be Nice...
What a great job. Most of the time they get the obvious artist to sing some half-assed or schlocky medley, but these guys obviously decided they were doing to do that song justice - they played every single note, sang every single harmony vocal and included all those instrumental whimsical touches of the original -
They did everything that is great about that song.
Very good job!

The Boss was awesome!

Paul McCartney sounded terrible on that classic ballad. That is not him.

Bruce did sound good to open, and he looked a little thinner.

Stevie Wonder did total justice to that harp note from "Love Me Do", makes me want to pull it up on the playlist.

is it weird not seeing Clarence? (i'm gonna wait and watch live on tape)

Well,didn't really notice,since their was so many other things going on with the song.But it'll be strange seeing him live without Clarence.

Wich song Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt did by Etta James?

Yes, and no. Being a new song with no sax in it, it wasnt the same as watching 'Born to Run' and wondering where he is.

As scl says, there was a lot going on on that small stage! (string section with about 12 people in it). There were other band members who were barely visible too, so his absence was less apparent.

In a single four minute song, its maybe not that noticeable, but over the course of a regular show, it most certainly will feel very strange indeed.

gotcha - thanks, men

ok- so Yahoo's FRONT page block says:
Springsteen's unfortunate word choice
"At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, Bruce Springsteen got started slightly off-key. Reeling the from the news of the death of the music industry’s own Whitney Houston, the Boss sounded tone-deaf as he asked, "America, are you alive out there?"

He then launched into the song "We Take Care of Our Own." In Springsteen's defense, he starts many of his shows with that same question, a lyric from his song "Radio Nowhere."

is this being too harsh? did any of you react? seems like a reach, just based on the description - i mean, when they say "in his defense" - why even pose the freaking question?

A bit over-sensitive to say the least.

I guess yahoo are oblivious to the fact (*) that that line is about as normal at a Springsteen show as 'good to be here/good to be anywhere' is at a Stones show. No doubt they'd have had a shitfit had Keith come off with HIS line as well....


*I posted that before your edit indicating they WERE aware of it.

Adele was gorgeous and fantastic. Before, on awards shown she seemed a bit tentative, but she really belted it this time, full of fire and confidence.

Ahh, Gentle on My Mind,
Now that's music! This was actually one of Aretha's favorite songs.

Just ridiculous to bring it up. A line he's used for years....And oh by the way,let's not forget about the loss Bruce went through last year. A total non-story.
