After Cove Me was No Surrender, and now HH.
The only real good one you missed was Jump.

No Surrender and HH are always worth watching. Interesting JLFW has been dropped.
I've heard Jump was a bit of a mess.

I know that we all have our own tastes, but I feel that you are going to have to take off your rosé coloured glasses when it comes to this gig.
Jump was absolutely woeful......sounded like a group of kids playing in the shed on a bad day.....and what was the go with that tacky basketball themed intro? Bruce doesn't need to resort to that sort of crap.
Yes, Atlantic City was pretty bloody good.

It was a Basketball themed festival. Basketball was the reason they were there. It was a bit of fun.

Had to be a reason for it......thanks for that.
I also think nils beat him in the tip off
Even though Jump did sound crap, I love that he is having a go at covers like this. The hits are are far outweighing the misses so far.

Plus I think they needed a bit of fun. It looked SO damn cold.

March Madness is the month long tournament starting in early March with 64 teams to find the national college basketball champion. Because there are so many colleges and therefore conferences in the USA you have tournaments to get into this tournament. The final 64 March Madness/ NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament is played all over USA. It is so big its now moved into April. Its a huge TV ratings winner as so many Yanks have gone to college and follow their alumni. Obama being a big basketball fan does his brackets to determine the final 4, every year and the last few years has been bagged for spending more time on this than the economy. The final 4 this year played off in Dallas and this music festival was one of the events around the Final 4 weekend.
A few hours ago the Connecticut Huskies beat the Kentucky Wildcats 60-54.

Nils: "I've been in the band 30 years, so I'm the new guy."
I thought Paul Stanley's speech really hit the mark.

NEW YORK — Bruce Springsteen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
It took a decade-and-a-half, but his famous accompanists have finally caught up with him.
The members of E Street Band were on the outside looking in when the Boss was first selected. Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the spotlight found them.
Amid song and speechmaking — some of it done by Springsteen himself — the gates of the Cleveland institution opened for 10 current and former members of the E Street Band.
Pianist Roy Bittan, bassist Garry Tallent, guitarist and singer Patti Scialfa, guitarists Nils Lofgren and Steven Van Zandt, and drummer Max Weinberg shared in the Award For Musical Excellence, a special honor bestowed by the Hall of Fame on sidemen.
Two band members were honored posthumously: saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died of complications of a stroke in 2011, and organist Danny Federici, who fell victim to melanoma in 2008. Drummer Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez and multi-instrumentalist David Sancious — major contributors to Springsteen's first two albums who left the band in the '70s — were inducted alongside the current members.
Springsteen himself handled the induction, taking the crowd through Shore music history in a Jersey-grown speech that name-checked the Upstage Club in Asbury Park, Southside Johnny and Bobby Bandeira, local bands Steel Mill and Cats on a Smooth Surface, Kingsley Boulevard, Flemington, Middletown, Highlands, and E Street (in Belmar) itself.
In a 20-minute speech, the Boss toasted the band with humor and warmth, testifying to the musical significance — and the charisma — of each of his collaborators. He even remembered to give a shoutout to Ernest "Boom" Carter, the drummer on "Born to Run."
The Boss teared up a bit when he mentioned Clemons and Federici, and said he regretted only that they couldn't have been there to participate in the ceremony. "Real bands are made from the neighborhood in the search for something more promising than what you were born into," he said.
The Boss eventually led his team to the bandstands, where the extended group — supplemented by a horn section featuring Jake Clemons — bounced through "The E Street Shuffle." Both Weinberg and Lopez played drums; Sancious slid over to Danny Federici's vacated position on the organ, where he stayed for a mournful rendition of "The River." The horn players returned for "Kitty's Back," a song from Springsteen's second album that has always been a showcase for the E Street instrumentalists.
The honor addressed an idiosyncrasy in the ranks of the musicians in the Hall of Fame — and perhaps in the public understanding of Springsteen's music, too. Although the star has always made a point of singing the praises of his collaborators, almost all of the albums in his catalog have been released under his name alone.

sounds like the US tour starting properly in Cincinnati got off with a bang.
http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2014/notes-from-the-road-cincinnati
In the encore, Bruce brought up 136 people, give or take a half dozen, to dance with him during “Dancing in the Dark,” starting with a young woman who came on stage during the second verse… and stayed. Then her family. Then other families. And so on and so on and so on. More fan interaction on a rare “Growin’ Up,” which came as a birthday sign request. Tonight’s story started with advice: “Before your first gig, you need to dream yourself up.” Bruce brought the birthday man on stage to sing the final verse, and then the fan — with no warning at all — dove in to the pit in an attempt to crowd surf. Bruce’s shocked reaction was priceless; fortunately, nobody was hurt (never far from many concert-goers’ minds here, even 35 years after The Who).
.....
Bruce concluded the evening with a call for donations to a local food bank, and by serenading the audience with a gorgeous rendition of “Dream Baby Dream” from the pump organ.

Watch Bruce's reaction as the fan does a dive into the pit.
gorgeous rendition - was the right way to describe this
