I'm seeing him in 5 weeks minus a day, then again in 5 weeks plus a day, so it averages out to 5 weeks.....I guessconfused smiley

Maybe Werchter Classic or Boutique (I don´t know the name exactly) or Koning Boudewijn Studium Brussels but that´s only guessing.

Indeed. Just a fantastic night!

After listening to the free Chicago boot, I was worried that age was catching up with Bruce. His voice sounded thin and winded throughout and his trademark rasp was mostly gone.

Guess he just need to get a few shows under his belt, because he was more like his old self last night. He's definitely slowing down, no question about it, but he still crowdsurfed and pulled two women up onstage for Dancing in the Dark.

A third woman had a sign to dance with Roy "the Professor" Bittan, and he led her over to the piano and he danced with her. Very cute moment.

Aside from the entirely of The River, we got Cover Me, No Surrender and Bobby Jean off of Born in the USA, and She's the One.

I always hope for Jungleland, but I think that song will be played extremely sparingly going forward without Clarence.

Me too, 2 of 'em.
The best alternative if The Stones aren't coming to town, in my humble opinion.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Interesting how it seems Bruce is a bigger deal in Europe now. He's playing way bigger venues over there & selling out faster. After listening to a few shows from this tour, I'm going to go for tickets today for the Seattle show. Pretty small arena. I like the more stripped down E Street Band. Tapes I listened to weren't that far sound wise from the 1980 River shows I saw. Lot of Little Steven, which is a fine thing. Wish me luck!

Because The Night ("Patti Smith Group Cover")... Only sorta.. Bruce wrote the song initially, and gave it to Patti, who morphed it into her own and recorded it.

One of the highlights of the Boston show, imo... Nils Lofgren went absolutely berserk during his guitar solo. Fabulous.

I'm a moderator at setlist.fm and the site rule is whoever "released it first", but i'll admit that it's a policy that has always annoyed people.

Nils usually has one song in the set where he gets to go off and do his whirling dervish berserker routine. In the past, it's been Youngstown, but he was fantastic on Because the Night.

He moves remarkably well for a guy who's had both hips replaced.

Bruce has usually always made an effort to keep prices low, but my GA floor seat was $154. The scary thing is that's a reasonable price compared to what other comparable classic rock acts charge nowadays (U2, Stones).

Oh damn, they played JUNGLELAND?? I missed it by one night!

That's the only drawback of a band that varies their setlists night to night so frequently...sometimes you miss the songs you'd kill to hear.

First time I ever heard it; the same for Atlantic City. I've never heard Darkness. I wish I had devoted more resources to following Bruce around. Mick has always come first.

I saw The E Street band 3 times between 2002 and 2008, but sadly they never played Jungleland.

The first and only time I got to see it was in 2012 at Foxboro Stadium...it was the first time playing the song in America since Clarence had died. Jake did a great job on the solo but I wish I'd seen it just once with Clarence.
