Bruce Springsteen

[BERT]

You can download the Chicago show in MP3 format for free for 48 hours on his website. A way of making up cancelling the show at MSG today due to the weather

For those that are yet to buy the ties that bind box set - passed through Target today and what did I see ?

$119 is a pretty good price, JB Hifi has the dvd version for $176 (I purchased it when they had 20% off a couple of weeks back the price dropped to the $140's).

 

[ManWithNoName]

Got the Chicago show. Highlight is surely Bruce describing Crush On You as "my masterpiece".

 

[Cruyff14]

Love Take It Easy.

Drive All Night still Top 10.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Drive All Night still Top 10.

What do you mean?

 

[pjcrows]

Top 10 Bruce All-Time

 

[Cruyff14]

A favourite, or his best?

Two diff things for me.

 

[pjcrows]

I don't really differentiate the two.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Ha! Chicago gig. They COMPLETELY stuff up No Surrender. Bruce had forgotten how it started.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah took them three goes!

 

[NitroFan]

going to see them in Dallas on April 5

 

[ManWithNoName]

Europe tour confirmed. My prediction holding true.

 

[Cruyff14]

May be a solo tour here next year.

 

[ManWithNoName]

2 years ago today I touched down in Perth. 10pm roll call.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Pretty standard 7 shows so far. First and 7th show 34 songs, third had 32 and other four had 33 songs.

27 songs played all shows, Meet Me in the City + 20 The River album songs + close with The Rising and Thunder Road + encore BTR, DITD, Rosalita and Shout.

23 other songs played and 4 played 4 times and 13 songs played once.

 

[Cruyff14]

I think the post River sets have been quite average.

He has this recent fascination with She's The One & Candy's Room.... while they're good songs and ones I like, they aren't ones I thought would be come mainstays, particularly when he has so many outtakes he can use.

Must admit that free chicago download was pretty disappointing. Set was ok, but bruce sounded pretty ragged and flat at times

The NYC dl is the one to get - been remastered properly and you can hear a huge difference compared to the other shows.

And yeah, post River set lists could have been so much better.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Still would be worth going to a show to hear Meet Me in the City and the whole River album, Rosalita and Thunder Road. There must be at least 10 of the 20 The River album songs I haven't seen in concert.

I would love to hear Fade Away, Drive All Night, Wreck On a Highway, Stolen Car, The Price You Pay, Point Blank and Independence Day as well as the rockier Sherry Darling, Cadillac Ranch and You Can Look - but you better not touch.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Bit of a shame he seems to have dropped Waiting on a Sunny Day.

Sarcasm?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Sarcasm?

Why would it be? It's a great part of the set. It's something everyone leaving tells their friends about. Plus it's a really great, fun song around the mid point of the night.

 

[Cruyff14]

Needs a looooooooooooong rest IMO.
