I think the reason why so many guys like Adam is because it's a father/son thing. 
In any case, I can't wait for the 21st!!!

I suppose the lyrics are more easily identified with if your male, but I like the song for the passion he sings with (can just picture his neck veins exploding while he sings it) and the searing guitar work.

Well a friend gave me a free ticket to see Bruce Springsteen in concert last friday night in San Francisco. WOW, to see the Boss in concert!! I don't know his music too well, but it was fun. Although...the throngs of people gave me flashbacks of U2 concerts i've been to, and i wished to god i was at a u2 concert....

I saw the setlist. Indeed, it looks like an amazing show. Jersey Girl as closer!

I will be blaring my Bruce boots in my brand new car starting this week!
I saw the setlist, Headache, what a show!
most people, myself included, thought the show was over after dancing in the dark... 'cause he's closed a lot of his shows that way... plus the house lights had already been on for like 4 songs already! they took a bow, their second of the night, bruce started talkin' with some of the band, got himself a guitar from a roadie, and it was time for jersey girl. i'll tell ya... it's pretty surreal standing there at about the 50 yard line of Giants Stadium, looking all around at the people in the stands... made me want to run up and sack bruce like he was Donovan McNabb or somethin...
how fitting... 10/01/03 & 10/03/03...Bruce will end this current tour with two shows in the place that began it all... the site of the first Stadium rock concert in United States history...

Saw Bruce in fenway Park last night. What a show. Got to stand in center field. Show started with Danny playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame on organ while the band strolled onstage, with Bruce leading the crowd in the final chorus.
Set list included Adam Raised a Cain, Something in the Night, Spirit in the Night, Because the Night, Jungleland, Frankie, Thunder Road and closed with the obligatory Peter Wolf duet on Dirty Water. Show clocked in at 3hrs 5 minutes, finishing at 11:15, breaking curfew after there had been much insistence the shows would end at 11 sharp (Fenway park is right in the middle of a section of the city with many residences so there was concern about noise). I don't think the ballpark is the ideal place for concerts (I was on field and it was fine, but it looked like any seat in the stands was too far away), but the new Sox owners would like to do more, so maybe we'll see U2 or Pearl Jam(new Sox GM is a huge PJ fan) there in 2004 or 2005.

not a bad seat in the park
Fantastic rock n' roll show!!! My husband said, "Bruce is not my favorite, but I have to admit that was THE GREATEST ROCK N' ROLL SHOW I've seen yet!" He did not include U2's Inside Zoo TV in that collection (not really comparable).
Fenway Park is an awesome place for a rock concert. We sat up in the left field grandstand section 31 and had a great view of the whole park...the neatly lined seats throughout the entire outfield...the place was loud!!! Definitely a better venue than my previous show at Giants Stadium in July. You got an intimate feeling despite being with 35,000.
Bruce was very into the fact he was in the soul of the city as he encouraged the crowd to join him in an "exorcism" brought on by the "greedy bastards from New *********, ummmmm Pennsylvania." Like a true rock n' roll minister, he claimed to feel our pain (Red Sox fans) and acknowledged our great suffering.
An absolutely great show. We saw him fly out of the park after the show in his dark long SUV, his wet head poking out of the sunroof, waving to all the fans outside the clubs.
As for seeing U2 at Fenway Park in 2004, that would be like dying and going to heaven...oh, that and the Red Sox winning the World Series, too!!
Little details like "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN" on the old time scoreboard were incredible. I read the day after that the groundskeeper had inscribed "B R U C E" in the outfield under the plastic corrugated. The park looked absolutely fantastic!!!
