Would you now change some of your own rankings after seeing of those songs live? One that would have shot up my personal Bruce chart would be Because the Night.....saw 3 absolutely killer versions over the last week.

Murder Inc would be much higher, as would Atlantic City, but not because I have seen them live, I appreciate them more now.
 
Incident on 57th at HR2 was the single best musical moment of my life. If I could pick one song it'd be that. Just about shat my dacks when he pulled that sign up.

The opening four - Adam > Candy's Room > She's The One > Something In The Night... I'm still shaking my head at the pure POWER emanating from the stage.
 
Which would be the best live version of Atlantic City? I don't really like the album version but it kicks arse live!
 
I'll be honest, while the Nebraska album is a good cure for insomnia (AC, State Trooper excepted), but the studio version of Atlantic City is a million times better than any live version I've heard. Full band version is overrated IMO. But bring on the Nebraska box set with the whole album recorded with the band that supposedly exists in Bruce's archives.

Just realised the only keepsake I have of the Wednesday night at Rod Laver is the stupid wristband they gave me after they took my ticket away (WTFFFF?). Fuming. They did the same thing at Neil Young a few weeks ago up here, but security were on the floor after the gig handing the tickets back out. Was this happening, because I sure as hell didn't see it? Will have to fly back down and rummage through the bins outside Rod Laver.

Although I loved that opening, I would have much preferred Ties that Bind instead of Candy's Room and Backstreets instead of Something in the Night, but only because I'd seen the other two previously (Something in the Night is in my Springsteen Top 10). Would have had the same impact and power....but would have had me tearing up 2 songs in and a complete blubbering mess after 4.

Just listening to GoTJ. Will forever relate this song back to this time.

Goosebumps.

Yeah, I've been playing it tonight on guitar with my harmonica (Letterman show style)...doesn't have the same impact. Wonder when Tom Morello will next get to play it with Bruce..if ever?

Backstreets would never played early, ever. Unless he was playing BToR start to end.

Ties would have been sick instead of She's The One. Candy was amazing.

Yeah true, just wishful thinking...the only regret of the whole week
 
Was it just me, or when the "Incident or Candy's Room" sign came up at Rod Laver 3, Incident clearly received a larger cheer from the crowd? Yet Candy's Room was played instead. C'mon Bruce, we're a democracy too, and a better one than yours :thumbsu: (anti-Yank sentiment after seeing all the Moos in the queues).

Yes, you're right. As good as it would have been, Incident wouldn't have fitted in that set,

They HAVE to do a studio version or a single or something. All nine minutes of it. It's epic. And it's already in my top 25 most played on iTunes!
