Quoteschillid I live in New Jersey but I don't care for Bruce Springsteen's music. Is that wrong? No. And -- as yet --still not encoded in NJ state law that you must be a Bruce fan to remain a resident there. I get that he doesn't fit every rock fan's tastes. Too much the over-earnest romantic, he strikes many as self-important as an artist, and cheesy. If any of us

Quotemajomuc I like the Schiele reference. It's certainly not everyone's taste, but special anyway. The Schiele looks not unlike a 1930s comic book panel by an artist named HGPeter, who later drew Wonder Woman in Sensation and Wonder Woman comics in the 1940s.

Quotecrholmstrom ...The last time I saw Bruce was the River tour a few years ago. Unreal good show. He played almost 4 hours with a lot of Darkness material in the non River portion. I have a hard time convincing myself that he's going to top that show.... By the time I saw "The River Tour" in Sep 2016 they'd burned out on playing The River and morphed it into The Pre-Rive

QuoteIrix QuoteTheBluesHadaBaby These all have some point or element of reference to the city. What's this one's? 1915 - "Kollektiv-Ausstellung: Egon Schiele, Wien" (Vienna) Galerie Arnot: Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele (1890–1918) - . Aha. So at least the concert poster isn't a bad take on good art. The original source material sucked, too.

I put down Greensboro, DC, and Baltimore and expect I'll be going to one of those. Two at most.

The choices they offer, as time goes on, become ever more limited to mid-tempo or even ballads. Real rockers being more physically taxing, which they feel less able to add any more of in a show now. I feel like we were lucky to still get the option of Rocks Off in 2019 in DC. And, thankfully, we took it

Do we know yet who opens Lyon and Berlin? Berlin being not a postponement of the Bern date, but a new concert in its own right, I'd think the Stones wouldn't have to use Bern's contracted opener, Thomas Tull's Gho$t Hound$, if they don't want to.
