Was thinking about TGOTJ and how much Morello has added to the song. That got me thinking of the other great duets Bruce has done on stage... whether they're his songs or not.

Here's the best two which come to mind at the moment:


That Glen Hansard performance on 'Drive All Night' is a Hall of Famer, for sure.

Eddie Vedder apparently will be in Melbourne on Saturday. The rumour in the line up on Wednesday arvo was that he will be at AAMI Park and will do a song on stage with Bruce. I have no idea how accurate it is.

Tuesday night's show the kid signing Waitin'. You will notice that when he finishes signing - before Bruce can give him instructions he spins around and says - Rock On E Street Band. Forgot to say in my post that when Bruce came back to the middle of the stage and getting ready for the next song he said - I've seen the future of rock n' roll.

My video of Pay Me My Money Down on Wednesday night.

The quality on my hard drive is near perfect. Does anyone know why I lose quality when transferring to You Tube and how to stop this loss of quality? I used a wireless internet feed. Does that make a difference?

I have at least 10 videos I can put up.

Bruce Springsteen to play 100th song on tour in Melbourne
HE’S now aged 64 yet on his latest tour Bruce Springsteen has already played a staggering 99 songs in concerts that are again drawing rave reviews across the world.

His shows in Australia — his longest being three hours and 30 minutes at the Adelaide concert — are playing to virtually sold-out and devoted audiences. In Adelaide he played 50 different songs over two nights.

“Wednesday’s show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia, was another incredible night with 10 tour premieres including the world premiere of “Hunter of Invisible Game” off the new “High Hopes” album,” wrote The Star Ledger, New Jersey.

.....

If there’s one thing certain about the concerts there is nothing certain about what Sprinsgteen will play.

“We’ve got a new record, so we’re gonna bust that out. I don’t have any approach to it except to keep changing it up, you know,” he said before his first Australian show in Perth.

“I have to assume on any given night ... there is gonna be a moment when I will surprise you. That’s what I do. You will get a broad expanse of the depth and breadth of what we have done over the years.”

This was uploaded on Eddie Vedder's Facebook page overnight. Eddie has also played a couple of different Bruce songs on his solo tour in the last week. I hope it's true. It'll be amazing.

The guy next to me on Wednesday night got his Long Walk Home sign picked and then about an hour later the guy next to him Patrick got his sign picked. He is a journo, was in music, now in politics but has taken holidays to follow the boss. He writes about his Wednesday night experience at

http://www.news.com.au/entertainmen...nder-their-spell/story-e6frfn29-1226826809588

ON Wednesday night, I tossed a few dollars into The E Street Band Jukebox, made 12,000 people dance and broke the keyboard of Professor Roy Bittan via the feet of Bruce Springsteen.

It’s mid-encore, just after Born To Run, the house lights are up and the Adelaide Entertainment Centre is rocking on the second of two nights for The Church of Bruce in the city of churches.

Where to next?

I grab my homemade sign from between my sweaty knees where it has been nestled for the past 2.5 hours.

It was made just after a breakfast that morning, with a $3.25 black texta and a free used cardboard box from Boost Juice in the Rundle Mall after buying a mango magic smoothie.

On one side of the sign I scrawled “Reason To Believe” from Springsteen’s 1982 Nebraska solo record to be worked up into the bluesy, full-band swagger it is played with these days.

On the other side, I wrote the Eddie Floyd cover“Raise Your Hand”, which the E Street Band made their own as a show-stopping party song and released in 1986 onLive 75/85.

One needs options, depending on the mood.

There can only be one choice at this time, however. “Raise Your Hand” it is. We need a call to the dance floor.

The sign is now above my head — I’m in the third row in the pit in front of Springsteen and guitarist Steve Van Zandt — when the strangest thing happens.

The Boss looks at me and his eyes light up. We have eye contact. We’re in.

I will have to check the bootleg but he may have even said “OK, buddy” or something similar. Maybe I imagined that.

So excited for tonight!

saw Bruce twice last year with my old man, and both were the most amazing concerts i have seen. The highlight was definitely jungleland, was simply breathtaking. However we had seats for both of them and this time we are standing up the front, I will be able to get much more into it as a younger fan!

can't wait!
