I understand your disappointment in that. I went to his show on The River Tour here hoping to hear gems from that album like Point Blank, Independence Day, Stolen Car, Drive All Night, etc. None of those were played. I believe he even played more songs from Born In The U.S.A. (the warhorses) than from The River.
I know I should not be disappointed as I got to hear Jungleland and Jersey Girl, but still.
Oh don't get me wrong, the show I went to might be the greatest concert I've ever seen. He went for 4 hours. I just really want to see him play the damn River.
