Face it, Bruce has become like all the rest. Highest prices sufferable for Greatest Hits for the rubes. They want Glory Days in the encore. The real Glory Days was the Tunnel of Love tour, 1988, with Bruce doing solo work and appearing with the E Street Band.

Greatest Hits? Did you know that he changes his setlists from show to show a lot, sometimes even taking requests from fans?

Sure, he is going to play (most of) the hits as well, but he mixes it up as he goes. Often times he even calls "audibles", playing something entirely different than what was on the handwritten setlist. That has the band members scramble to get the right instruments and, at times, the right key!

Producer Ron Aniello gets the bass credit, not Garry Tallent.

He also played guitar, drums, keyboards "and more".

The new album is fantastic. It plays to Bruce & band's strengths. Gary Tallent is a revelation on bass. I always thought that guy was way underrated.

I'm listening now and enjoying it very much. Bruce's version of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" is great!

The material really lends itself to Bruce's voice. He sounds great to my ears. I haven't loved everything he's done but I've been a fan since Darkness on the Edge of Town. I've seen him a lot over the years, & again haven't loved everything. The show I saw on the River tour a few years ago was amazing. It was like going back to the original River tour. He played almost 4 hours & it looked like he wanted to keep going but the band was wore out, haha.

This is a very enjoyable record, and its songs will surely sound great when played live.

I've only seen Bruce once, in Rio in 2013 and it was a great concert. He opened with his version for a Raul Seixas song (a great Brazilian musician) and played for almost 3 hours, including the whole "Born in the USA" album.

I'm a big Springsteen fan but don't really see the point of this release. He cannot possibly better any of these classics and doubt even if the E street band will play any of this next year.

Nightshift last night was hard to watch. His pretentious faces and grandpa dancing were hilarious. Lounge act vibes. Lots seemed to like it, however.

Dynamic Pricing - the explanation.
It caused a bit of an uproar in the fan community because some of the tickets used dynamic prices, and some tickets hit $5,000. Did you know in advance about those price points and dynamic pricing, and do you have any regrets about that?
What I do is a very simple thing. I tell my guys, “Go out and see what everybody else is doing. Let’s charge a little less.” That’s generally the directions. They go out and set it up. For the past 49 years or however long we’ve been playing, we’ve pretty much been out there under market value. I’ve enjoyed that. It’s been great for the fans.
This time I told them, “Hey, we’re 73 years old. The guys are there. I want to do what everybody else is doing, my peers.” So that’s what happened. That’s what they did [laughs].
But ticket buying has gotten very confusing, not just for the fans, but for the artists also. And the bottom line is that most of our tickets are totally affordable. They’re in that affordable range. We have those tickets that are going to go for that [higher] price somewhere anyway. The ticket broker or someone is going to be taking that money. I’m going, “Hey, why shouldn’t that money go to the guys that are going to be up there sweating three hours a night for it?”
It created an opportunity for that to occur. And so at that point, we went for it. I know it was unpopular with some fans. But if there’s any complaints on the way out, you can have your money back.
