    Lower level side stage would be the best but Bruce plays to the entire arena and uses screens so a behind the stage seat won't be bad. GA is great if you can stand for 5-6 hours (line plus the show), even if you're short because you can move towards the sides and still get a good view.

    Me? I'd take the best seats I could afford. :)

    I've got a ton of Bruce boots... if you can't use a torrent site site then send me a PM and I'd be willing to start a vine.

    If you can use a torrent site then the holy grail of Bruce boot collections (damned near every one) is available from our fine friends in Italy:

    http://jungleland.dnsalias.com/


    I've got about 50 boots from that site, including the epic 1978 shows that Crystal Cat bootlegged from the live FM broadcasts (Agora, Roxy, Winterland, Passaic).

    Jungleland also has an artwork archive.

    Best way to thank me would be to point me to where I can get a really nice PJ 1998 East Lansing poster. :D
    :o:o:o

    I need to find a way to thank you.

    What's the difference between these two Passaic shows (2 and 3)?

    There was a 9/19 and a 9/20 show... If you're trying to choose between two boots of the same show I'd go with the one with the most downloads as that tends to be indicative of the best quality. BTW, there's DVD's available for both Passaic shows (samples of them are on youtube).

    There's a few IEM boots from the 2009 tour on there. The best I've heard is for the River show at MSG that November (I was there!). I saw the Darkness album show at the Spectrum a couple weeks before PJ closed it down... that show was awesome but I don't know if there's a soundboard boot for it.

    Yeah, that IEM of the River show is the best sounding boot of the '09 tour!

    There's a few "matrix" recordings, which are the IEM feed mixed with the audience recordings, some of those are just exceptional. The one from MSG for The River in 2009 is a great example. I've not seen the IEM recordings from Philly, but my bootleg grabbing is usually any show with real rarities, and the year compilations put together by Flynn McLean are well worth having if you don't want a stack of shows you won't listen to in full very often.

    That sounds extremely risky for a short guy like myself. Knowing a place like philadelphia, the wells fargo center will mostlikely do a lottery system. Would you recommend a lower level ticket behind the crowd or GA?

    At this point, I can be in the last row of the highest section and have a great time - I've been front row center, elbows on the stage, hands on Bruce's guitar during Born to Run (and almost be decapitated by those behind me), and I've been last row highest section. Both are great. I was at the last E Street Band show in Buffalo in 09, and what I liked about being last row was I could stand the whole time with my back against the wall and not annoy all the sitters in front of me. It was still just me and Bruce, even from up there. GA for Bruce is pretty tame, and not packed in like some shows, so you can move around a bit, but I'd even go for higher sections than lower level behind GA to see better.

    I just snagged mine for the April 26th show in Los Angeles at the 'Dump that Jumps' (aka, the old LA Sports Arena). This will be my first Bruce concert as well.

    This is a nice article about "Nebraska". I should listen to it more.

    I was fortunate enough to see J. Clemons play alongside Eddie during his last stop in Philly. He played on "Drive All Night" with Hansard as well. Unreal performance. Really was a shame that the Philly show was one of only 2 shows that audio recordings never surfaced.

    Thanks everyone for the Bruce advice. I ended up going with behind the stage for night one and am still looking for tickets for night two.

    Jake should make a great addition. If anyone needs an audience recording (not by me) of that emotional drive all night with him Eddie and glen send me a pm, it made me turn into a little girl. I never felt something that emotionally overwhelming in all the hundreds of concerts I have been to.

    I am seriously considering tracking this guy down to get copies of those boots. His stuff was legit spectrum sbd and he never told me how he got them just that he had privileges.
    So my question is, would that be weird/creepy if I tracked him down and called his house lol? I wasn't friends with him, just talked music and hockey.

    This is awesome, hadn't heard it before. I was at the Hartford show when Eddie found out Clarence had died, it was really odd looking back now. I'll be seeing Jake play with Bruce in a month!

    Yeah, I was at Hartford also and that was odd. He was just talking about how they had played with them in 2004 and hoping he gets well and his guitar guy comes out and tells him. His emotions went to another level after he found out.
