Springsteen, Part IV

[corianderstem]

2. Jungleland (could really do without the oooooooooooohhhhhhs at the end there)

WHAT?

6. Thunder Road (just something about it that I don't quite like...)

No, really - WHAT?????

 

[joyfulgirl]

He's going to have a revelation later. We'll wait.

 

[cobl04]

Well, if Jungleland just ended with that piano immediately after that final "tonight in Jungleland" line, I'd be happy, but the 30 seconds or so that follow is just annoying.

Thunder Road I enjoy the first half but I just think its lacking something somehow... it sounds like its trying to epic but just not quite getting. Also his vocals aren't exactly my favourite.

Maybe this will clear it up a bit.

Born to Run 10
Jungleland 9
Meeting Across the River 8
Tenth Avenooo Freeze-Out 8
Backstreets 8
Thunder Road 7
She's the One 7
Night 6.5

So still good.

I think the entire second half is superb, and the first has a couple of bumps. Not wild about Thunder Road myself. She's The One and Meeting Across The River on the other hand...

[lazarus]

Two Thunder Road dissenters??

To the dungeon with ye!!

 

[cobl04]

WHAT?

subjectivity. Just something about it.


Good to see some Meeting love Lemon. what does it for me is the understated sax and the piano

Glad to see that smiley - I went to bed thinking "... I hope he knew I was just being goofy."

It's a fantastic ending to an epic of a song.

 

[corianderstem]

Can I just say that blasting the live version of Cadillac Ranch on a beautifully sunny day is just about the best thing since sliced bread?

I really love that song - it's so fun!

 

[phanan]

Blasting the rockers from The River is always fun, especially when driving.

You can make an entire CD with the songs from The River sessions that totally rocks all the way through.

Sept 4 Crisler Arena, Ann Arbor, MI



Just when I may be clear across the country at a family wedding ...

Maybe I'll just send a card and a check.

 

[corianderstem]

Does anyone know where I could find some Bruce videos for my iPod? I did find one thread at Backstreets where someone uploaded a bunch of Devils & Dust tour stuff. Would love to find some more!

 

[martha]

Itunes has some.

 

[bono_212]

Cori I can get you some stuff, let me know what you want


and WHY BRUCE WHY!?!?!?!?1 WHHY ARE YOU COMING BACK TO ILLINOIS RIGHT AFTER I GO BACK TO TEXAS?!?!?! San Anton. is too far away!!!!!! I dont' wanna see you in Texas again anyway!!!!! etc.

The end

 

[cobl04]

is he playing much stuff from his new album? whats it like? how long ahs the tour been going for? whats he like now live compared to his halcyon days?

 

[martha]

whats he like now live compared to his halcyon days?

Not as long a show, obviously more new songs, since the new songs weren't around to be performed , neither he nor Clarence is as physical as they were back then (Clarence can barely walk), the energy level is slightly diminished.

But still well worth seeing.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

has bruce done his running knee slide at all this tour that anyone knows of? or the guitar swing? or jump up on top of a piano?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I didn't see any of those things back in November. Maaaybe a knee slide, but I can't remember.

Last time I recall a piano jump was when I saw him in 2002.

Not that I've seen.

 

[bono_212]

I feel like I heard about him doing a piano jump but I can't recall.


While he doesn't flip upside down on the mic stand, he still does the back bends though...

 

[phanan]

He was on top of the piano at the Count Basie show the other week.

Of course, I don't know how he got on there, or how long it took him.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Of course, I don't know how he got on there, or how long it took him.

He still looks in prime shape for being his age.

Sorry guys, had to do it.
