Bruce Springsteen @ The Toyota Center - Wednesday April 8th

who??

 

no, but I did save money by switchin to Geico.

 

i'm going because an awesome member of this esteemed community offered me a ticket. chievous minniefiled, you be da man, you be da man!

 

I caught him in San Jose last week. He was out there sweating and rocking for a solid two and a half hours....

...And then he came back for a 45 minute encore!

Best Boss show I've ever taken in. Lots of interesting choices/fun arrangements off of the older albums.

I'm seeing him in New Jersey Sat night.

Never saw a Houston show review....was it a great show?

 

I'll be seeing him at Bonnaroo next month - I'm stoked about it!

 

absolutely. i'm not real familiar with his catalogue so i thought i wouldn't enjoy it as much, but they put on a really great show!

 

Oh and I forgot to mention that Wilco (!) will be going on before him. They both perform on that Saturday night.

 

Well, saw both Wilco and Springsteen this past Saturday night and they were both absolutely amazing!

This was the 2nd time I have seen Wilco (saw them on St. Patty's Day in 2006 at the Ryman) and they were even better than the first time I saw them which I didn't think was possible!

It's interesting to note that songs #1, #5, #7, and #18 are off the new album, "Wilco (The Album)" which is to be released by the end of this month.

Was a little disappointed that he didn't play "I'm On Fire", "Racing in the Streets", and "Jersey Girl" (Tom Waits song) but for the most part, I was pretty happy with what he played.

Springsteen is amazing that he is 60 and was able to play 3 hours. The guy is a human dynamo. Without a doubt, seeing him live was the best concert I have ever seen and I have now seen like 20 or so artists. Bruce blows them all out of the water (although Wilco is pretty damn good in their own right).
