    i just don't see the 3 nights being a reality ... they rarely give cities 3 nights ... nevermind in a row

    although i guess they gave 3 nights to melbourne and San Fran in 06

    they'll probably take the approach of if 2 nights sell... then 3 might happen


    it's going to be tough for me to get there... but at least it's on a weekend... i can just drive down from MA on saturday at LEASHt ;)

    Interesting. These rumours just won't go away. I just hope that it is some time during the last week of October, since I've already booked that off at work :)

    Sorry to disappoint those planning for a weekend/Halloween, but it's mid-week, and it is 3 days. Count on it.

    There is very little wiggle room with what she is saying. If you have to book the time off work, just book the week off, wince 3 mid week shows with travel factored in will pretty much kill a week.

    I do agree with your basic point though. She is basically giving us 99% of the info, so why not just say it all.

    Are you sure it's not just 110% official? Or 200% official?

    I think they mean three shows in the same place, three nights in a row. Three nights seems like a lot. I thought Jones Beach was relatively small (compared to MSG or something) and that's why they ended up with 3 nights. Of course I have no idea how big the spectrum is. Is it a basketball stadium like United Center or something?

    The Spectrum is one of the most famous arenas in the US. The building holds 18,369 for concerts. I just saw Springsteen there for 2 nights and KOL for a night. Seeing GreenDay in July. The Spectrum is a GREAT venue for concerts.

    Check out the wikipedia page if you want to read about the building's great history.

    The Spectrum is a sh1thole, and its wayyy overdue to be torn down. I saw Springsteen there about 6 weeks ago, and it is insanely dated. the lines for the bathroom are absurd, and the corridors are so tiny, that you can't move before the show.

    That being said, I CAN'T F*CKING WAIT FOR THESE SHOWS!!!!

    This is gonna be SWEET!!!
    The last time I went to a sold out show at the Spectrum it was the WIGGLES!! It was the original line-up with the first Gregg (the Yellow Wiggle). My daughter and I even gave Jeff Wiggle a high-five!! Now if we could give Jeff Ament a high-five. :D

    Yeah. "Mid week" would either be 10/27-29 or (less likely) 10/28-30.

    If that's true about Springsteen playing 10/30 and/or 10/31, as Sharon and another poster here predicted, I'm pretty surprised. He just did his Spectrum farewell shows six weeks ago.

    the idea i heard a while back was that they were planning a big show bringing back all of the acts that made the Spectrum famous (Springsteen, Dead, Joel, etc). I dont know if anything ever did or will come from this, especially since they are all either playing the Spectrum or the area, but it was being tossed around back in the early winter.
    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me
