    The man is an institution. I've seen him twice in my life. My first concert ever as well.

    Wouldn't mind catching him again.

    He's definitely rockin it tonight.
    Agreed. Amazing live. Last time I saw him was 2000 I believe.

    He was incredible last night. For my money (which I paid to go) he was the best act of the night but I'm bias. His voice was incredible. No one does it quite like Billy. He knocked it out of the park last night and owns MSG.

    As for a tour I think we can sadly count that out. He was pretty much retired before this concert. He just hangs out at his motorcyle shop in osyter bay.

    Hell yeah I'm a fan. I wanted to see his tour with Elton John a few years back but the tickets were too high. My wife and I both love his stuff. Even the 80's stuff. I like that doo wop shit.

    I'm so stoked that the 12/12/12 brought THE MAN back into the spotlight. One of my favorite artists...so cool to see him get up there and kill it...and to see so many people really enjoy it!

    Me too. He's the Master. Can't get over how good he sounded.

    Please tour! He is killing it right now.

    Yeah, I've always had so much respect for him hope his through all his alleged personal issue, which may have hopefully only been rumors, and is able to tour again; such a talent!

    Trying to make a Billy mix and just realized it is difficult to do. So many terrific songs!

    I'm on a Nylon Curtain kick. Amazing album, my favorite by him as it's his darkest. His favorite too by his own admission. And of course it's so Beatlesque which makes it even more awesome. Suprises, Scandanavian Skies & Laura. Amazing songs.

    Also on a Summer/Highland Falls kick. Trying to find the best live version. I love the version off of Songs in the Attic but I think my favorite is now the one off of CW Post in 1977. It's just so vibrant and his voice is incredible. That may just be his greatest song but it's so hard to pick.

    All For Leyna is off Houses is one of my favorite songs. Hidden gem.

    Always enjoyed his music.
    Really love his reworked " Lights Go Down On Broadway"
    that he did for Sandy relief.
    He incorporated the entire geographic areas affected, including the Rockaways.

    Would have been awesome if they had sung a song together! The hardest part would have been picking just one song.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I got an email from his site saying his online store is having a 15% sale of his album box set. It said to enter HolidayComplete in the coupon section. I did and I get this: "Invalid coupon. Please try again." Really? Someone at his site must have screwed this up.

    I wondered the same thing - a girl can hope :) BJ and PJ tour in the same year would be amazing 8-)

    Agreed. Give me another Springsteen US tour this year, plus PJ and BJ, and that would make my year.
