Springsteen VII ~ Wrecking Ball

[Hewson]

But if I was 18 in 2003...fuck it, it's too late at night for me to do math. Especially since I was 19. Wait. How old am I now?

I think that makes you 114.

 

[IWasBored]

I think that makes you 114.

Damn I was off by 83736584.3. (repeating of course) months.

Ah good old Ticketron with their rainbow colored tickets and no ridiculous Ticketmaster 25% and up service fees.

before that they were yellow and white with a little bit of red

somewhere I have a Springsteen stub from the Roxy nightclub on Sunset Blvd.

and I have one from a 1976 show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, our seats (second row) were on folding chairs that they added inside of what they called the orchestra pit, I was 20,
I should have died by now.

Not looking good for a standby call, although they did say in the email that they could call any time up until showtime.

With my luck they'll call the 10 minutes I'm on the subway. Maybe I should take a cab

 

[LemonMelon]

Maybe you should stand outside the venue and give them sad eyes.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I considered it.

Can't wait to listen to this over the next few days.

If someone could post a link to the inevitable bootleg when it shows up, that would be super fantastico awesome.

Bruce Springsteen - "My City of Ruins" - Apollo Theater 3-9-2012 - YouTube

forget michael douglas, ben stiller and michael j fox... bonus points for spotting the super bowl winning head coach

Bruce looks like he was trying to run away from Peter Wolf and it drove him to the ledge.

I no longer have Sirius, you could sign up for a free 7 day trial in order to listen to it but I didn't bother. I just got around to watching Jimmy Fallon, good stuff.

 

[phanan]

The video for Death To My Hometown is on his site and popping up on Youtube. Sounds great.

 

[PhilsFan]

Finally listening to this album.

 

[martha]

So I finally listened to this on the way up here and I liked it WAY more than I thought I would, especially track 11, whatever its name is. And am I high? I thought Land of Hope and Dreams was already released somewhere. Or have I judt heard it so many times live?

 

[IWasBored]

I thought Land of Hope and Dreams was already released somewhere. Or have I judt heard it so many times live?

so did i, and when i went to look for it i found a dozen or so live versions which led me to that conclusion.

 

[corianderstem]

I like this version of Land of Hope and Dreams more than the one that's on ... whatever live album it's on.

 

[lazarus]

5 stars from Rolling Stone?? LOL.

 

[martha]

I like this version of Land of Hope and Dreams more than the one that's on ... whatever live album it's on.

The albums I have that it's on are Essential and Live in NYC.

Agreed, this version is really good.
