thanks for the setlist, ag!

I decided not to take the bus out and listen from outside.

but listening to 101.9 replay the setlist was way fun!


hi sherry darling!

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I'm listening to the show from last night -- nice recording available from Dimeadozen. Love the setlist!

20 days until I see him

I have to admit, I have been feeling a bit burnt out on him with the E Street radio and all. I think it's like the U2 thing, kind of need a break for a while.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Alright, I'm listening to Sunday's concert a second time, can't get enough -- fantastic recording and show! There's nothing like a Giants Stadium Springsteen concert. Now I've gotta download Monday's show.

Where are you getting your dowwnloads from?

I haven't had the ability in the past. I'm not sure now ( I don't have the Net at home, but i DO have some free acess to the net).

I also have a friend who might be able to get it for me IF I can get the url to them. I think they'd be quite interested too!

 

[dazzledbylight]

I guess I won't be seeing him/them this time. Bah!

I think he mentioned he got them at the torrent site Dimeadozen.

I've got my ticket for tomorrow and am ready.

My mother managed to get a ticket to Hershey from a friend. None for me, though.

 

[dmalezi]

Sunday's show was incredible! 3+ hours. Had to post this pic. No explaination necessary.

 

[phanan]

Somehow I get the feeling we're in for an epic show tonight. They take almost two weeks off after this show, and it's absolutely pouring right now, and supposed to continue on and off through the night. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out Who'll Stop The Rain to open the show, and added Lost In The Flood somewhere in the set.

I'm getting a tad

[corianderstem]

I am insanely jealous of all youse guys getting to see him again.

an oil tanker spilled on the jersey turnpike during the day, jamming up traffic throughout jersey. it actually didn't cause any bad traffic problems for new yorkers though. mostly just those coming from north and south jersey. but because of the report everyone from NY thought they'd take the bus... bus lines were around 3 city blocks. we hopped in a cab rather than wait on the line, and we pretty much flew into giants stadium in record time.

but, because so many people from jersey had so much trouble getting in, the show didn't start till 9:30... so we stood around (on the floor) at giants stadium for a long long time before the show finally got started with summertime blues.

show it's self was great... but i was absolutely exhausted by the time the encores came around, thanks to the late start, long show and a very long day at work. so i probably didn't enjoy the show as much as i could have... he didn't leave the stage till around quarter to 1 in the morning.

Cool that it was such a good show, sucky you were tired for it. That sucks some of the momentum out, when you're not entirely all the way in it.

Long Bruce shows, though.

 

[phanan]

Late start last night as well due to the weather. Knowing he usually doesn't start until around 8:20-8:30, I planned accordingly and didn't leave right away. But as I got to Foxboro, a major thunderstorm rolled through and traffic was at a stand still. We're talking lightning strikes touching down here. Found a parking spot as it ended, but he didn't come on until 9:15.

Not as long as some of the more recent shows, at just under 3 hours, but you can't really complain about that. 28 songs long.

Highlights for me were the tour premieres of Little Latin Lupe Lu, not played on a regular tour since 1988, and Who'll Stop The Rain, which was convenient. He dedicated it to "Coach" - I'm assuming he meant Bill Belichick.

A double shot of Youngstown and Murder Inc. was fantastic, with Nils going crazy on guitar (just like the reunion tour). I'm Goin' Down was a nice surprise and cool to hear, and you can never tire of hearing Jungleland. Finishing with Rosalita was just the icing on the cake.

If there's one part I could do without, it's Mary's Place. The song itself is good, but the shtick that he goes through is a bit tired now. It was fine for The Rising tour when it first started, and I would have left it behind now.

So I saw two shows on the tour, and just from those two, I heard 40 different songs. Just check out the difference between them:

The note about 1977 is wrong from the official website for Little Latin Lupe Lu. It was last done in 1988 at just one show, and then it was 1977 before that.

All in all, a great time as usual. The show didn't end until 12:10am, and although it was longer, I think I prefer the December show just because of the emotion throughout that one, being Danny's final full show. Kinda hard to top that.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Phanan, you lucky dog. I'm super jealous of you and all the rest of you guys that got to see him on this tour.



But, anyway, I was wondering how many of you caught the VH1 Storytellers that Bruce did a few years back? It was re-aired on some weird music channel recently and I watched it for the first time since it was first in rotation on VH1.

Wow, what a great little show he put on. Great versions of Blinded By the Light, Devils and Dust, The Rising, Brilliant Disguise and, of course, Thunder Road.

And old Brucie really took the "storytellers" thing literally didn't he? He told a great story before each song and even broke down a few of them line by line.

The speech he makes before Thunder Road is just beautiful.

My mother managed to get a ticket to Hershey from a friend. None for me, though.

Make sure she avoids too much traffic on the Hershey Highway.

I thought sure you were gonna say you enjoyed November's show more because of the company.
Looks like you got a damn good show Saturday.
Wasn't in the cards for me, my friend was in from Houston, so I had other plans. Wishing those fall dates we saw earlier would somehow materialize.

 

[U2democrat]

2 weeks from tonight

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I wish that would happen, too, but more than likely if they did it'd be on a school night.

I have it in my Netflix queue and am looking forward to checking it out. I'll probably end up buying a copy.

Ooooo you're in for a treat.

And actually I think there are more songs on the DVD than were shown on the VH1 hour-long thing.

 

[dazzledbylight]

I second Corri!

I third cori, and second Fritz.

Bruce Springsteen VH1 Storytellers DVD

Ooooo you're in for a treat.

And actually I think there are more songs on the DVD than were shown on the VH1 hour-long thing.

:looks at her copy of the DVD:

The DVD jacket says it's nearly two hours long and has eight songs on it. Along with detailed introductions, comments and ancedotes, and a q&a session.
