Nice to hear you saw them in Seattle and really loved it.
I can only comment on the shows, that are available for download;
but I read a rave review from the Seattle concert.
"Bobby Jean" is one of my favourite Springsteen songs, sort of a hidden gem on the "BITUSA" LP, and I'm not ( yet ) in the mood to forgive Eddie Vedder that he messed up the lyrics!

Currently listening to the show from Buffalo, and let me tell you it is another "on " show; it's a very powerful performance again, which gets even more rocking once they finished The River and start with the "rest" of the show.
I'm very impressed with the energy level on all the shows from 2016 I have heard, only minor letdown is the one from Cleveland.
My favourites so far: Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston!

I'm not huge on BITU but "I'm Going Down" was really good, also.
Really liked the stripped down band like the old days.

Sighunt, when I wrote about Buffalo and other concerts, I had not yet listened to Rochester.
It is indeed a very good show, too!
If you send me an email pretty soon, I might have something for you!

Dallas last night was awesome--what a showman. First time I'd seen them without Clarence, and while of course it's not the same, Jake Clemons did a very good job and has some real stage presence. Bruce himself was as phenomenal as always.

While there will never be another "Big Man", I do believe that Jake was put on this earth for one reason..... to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
Good for him.Quote

Greensboro cancelled due to the new anti LGBT law in North Carolina
As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law. HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden. To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards.

The threat of losing money goes a lot further than appeals to basic human empathy in America.

I can understand moving the filming of a show to another state for said reason, but cancelling a concert hurts the fans more than anything else.
I was born in NC, unfortunately. I have no memory of it, as we moved back to the northeast shortly after I was born, but I've been told it's a beautiful state. Doesn't look like I'll be going back anytime soon to confirm that.Quote
