^Working on it

You are....The Best!

 

[bono_212]

Oh man, Shari, thank you so much.

I wondered if this would work because of Bruce's raspy vocals, and boy does it ever (save of course for the part where he forgets the lyrics? or whatever that melt down was )

 

[shari schultz]

YAY it worked
Will take it w/ mini meltdown and all , too

 

[martha]

Thanks!!!!


What was the date on that?

 

[shari schultz]

11/8

 

[martha]

Thanks, doll.

Has anyone ever had seats behind the stage? I was pulling up some nice side views yesterday but didn't grab one. Now all I'm getting are lowers, behind the stage.

I know what martha will say about this (Bruce butt )...

Edit: Scored myself a side view seat for tomorrow.

I don't think I'd be going at all if he was going to do Born in the USA

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I also just realized I'll be on the Big Man's side

[shari schultz]

Oh yeah !!!!!!!

Enjoy the view, er I mean concert

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I ended up getting a side seat, but the view will be enjoyed, no worries there.

I'm also on the Big Man's side, which is a first for me. When I've had the floor I usually gravitate towards Stevie's side and aside from the Seeger Session show where I had 3rd row (Stevie's side, again) I had a nosebleeder for the Vote for Change show.

So excited

To no surprise, the rumor is that the Darkness box set has been delayed indefinitely, supposedly due to Landau's indecisiveness over it.

What a douche.

Bruce is a better frontman than Bono. The funny thing is, up until last night it's always a matter of, I forget that because I see Bruce in off U2 years. This time, having seen both within a couple of months, it's clear Bruce is the man. Awesome show last night - even though he did a Bono move when he called us Ohio.

What a massive fail.

FAIL.

It is.

I don't post over on Backstreets much, but there's been this fascinating thread about the Darkness box. It started innocently enough with someone just posting what he wished the box would consist of, but it blossomed into a full blown, meaningful conversation (for the most part), primarily fueled by one poster who has been getting some inside information from someone personally involved with it.

It's an insightful read - of course, it's up to 160 pages now, but still...

I'll check it out later tonight when I'm bored out of my gourd, no one is posting here, and I need something to entertain and/or enthrall me.

Today

 

[shari schultz]

Yep that covers the range of emotions I felt tonight at the concert. Really, words escape me right now.

Oh and I touched sweaty Springsteen shirt as he came by during Higher & Higher

 

[redhotswami]

The Ohio thing was bizarre, because while he was doing that he still called it Detroit, and made a reference to The Pistons and whatnot. The band threw a wet sponge at him, and oddly enough, that was the only water break I saw him take the entire night! Hell, I was parched during the show, and I wasn't screaming nearly as much as he was.

It was spectacular. They closed the night with a Jackie Wilson cover, which happened to be one of my all-time favorite songs (I didn't realize he was from Detroit/Ohio!)

Spoiler

I don't know if this is typical, but there was a point during the set when he collected signs from the GA of song requests. Then later in the set he went through them and they'd play the song. It was funny because there was a gorgeous sign someone made for Pink Cadillac(sp?), and he saw it, the camera focused on it, but he clearly avoided it.

Oh by the way, I know this goes without saying, but I just thought I'd emphasize that Max Weinburg is fucking brilliant!

What an incredible way to finish!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! Can't friggin wait!

 

[Ronnie269]

Yup, gonna be incredible!!!! I'm so annoyed I couldn't make it over to any of these gigs , It does kinda make it feel like the end tho, , I mean finishing where it all started. Its gonna be a very sad day when BRUCE and The Mighty E Street Band stop touring!!! There is no band out there that even comes close to what they can do in a live show!!! I hope its not the end!!!

 

[redhotswami]

I hope it's not the end either, but wow, what a way to go that would be, eh? Thanks so much for posting the info, Ronnie. I hope this week goes by in a flash! It's going to be an awesome show.

 

[phanan]

I'm not shocked about Greetings getting the live treatment now. I see some sort of a box set in the future coming out of each album's live set from this tour. It's just too easy.

Perhaps if I scream my name really loud, it'll be heard in the recording.

Oh shit. I could spend some money on that.

That Ohio thing was hilarious-they should put it on a teleprompter. Or he could hire me to go on the road with him and remind him where he is. We could study, with flash cards
