Springsteen VIII - 2014, tour, album, etc.

[DeVaul]

in September 2009 i had the worst flu i've ever had in my live - was on, like, day 8 of missing work... but went to the first of the 5 final Giants Stadium shows because he announced the day before that he was playing Born To Run front to back - and i figured this would be my only time to guarantee hearing Meeting into Jungleland.



it was worth it.

So you opened the final run and I closed it. Good to know the proper assholes were in attendance.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Wonderful stuff.
I am on back to back appearances (not counting the Broadway run) as he played Jungleland on the last show I caught of The River ‘16, a 4 hr tour de force in the swamps of Jersey.

i've gotten Jungleland 4 out of 11 shows. i've gotten lost in the flood twice.

yet i've still yet to hear The River - even though i saw a show on a tour that was literally called The River Tour.

I am still chasing Racing in the Street.

as am i

looking through this? i'm pretty shocked at some of the songs i've only seen once - darkness on the edge of town specifically. i feel like darkness is played a lot - yet somehow i've only seen it once.

I'm really glad to hear people talk about Meeting Across the River. One of my very, very favourite Bruce songs, what I'd give to hear that into Jungleland live. I think I've seen him four times and gotten Jungleland twice, luckily.

People booking it for a beer during Pay Me My Money Down!

What’s he gonna do for night 2?!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

CBS Sunday Morning is going to have a segment today with Bruce, it's about the Nebraska album

They also did an interview segment with Michael J. Fox, what an incredible man he is. I cried through the entire thing. Well worth watching

The rest of the September shows have been postponed, Bruce is being treated for peptic ulcer symptoms and his doctors advised him to take the time off.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

So it looks like I could have kept the tickets that I sold when the show was moved to 9/29 after all.

Sonbitch.

Get well soon, Boss

2nd postponement for that Mohegan Sun show.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I'm glad I was able to go back in March, feel badly for anyone who is missing these shows but obviously his health needs to be his priority.

2024 it is

Rest in peace Adele

Adele Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen's mother, dies at age 98

Bruce Springsteen announced in an Instagram post that his mother, Adele Zerilli Springsteen, died Wednesday.

[Hewson]

That's too bad. But 98 is a hell of a run.

RIP.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

It sure is, sadly she had Alzheimer's for over a decade. I loved when he danced with her on stage.

Remember when we saw her at the Orpheum with Jon Landau? It was outside, he escorted her out of the car and into the theater.

Yep.
She was a spring chicken back then.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Anyone going this year should get the old nightly setlist mixups that they always used to do. Bruce said on Sirius that they are approaching this year as if it's a whole new tour.

He looks like he is feeling healthy again. The Las Vegas videos I watched looked great.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

there's been a bit more rotation through two shows - but still fairly static, for Bruce at least. will see how everything changes as he keeps moving forward.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I confess I've never watched a single episode of this show but I want to see this episode

 

[DeVaul]

He’s a guest star, more than a mere cameo. #floorfucker

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That's a good Massey, now get the fuck out.

 

[Hewson]

I caught it yesterday. Bruce was pretty damn funny in it.
