    In the 80s that song would appear from August on. I never understood that.

    ha ha, maybe I can see August (at least we're leading up to Christmas), but it's May! maybe it's the last North American show this year, ugh

    Awesome show in Albany was followed up by 3 great shows to finish the tour. Really loved the sets from Modegan and really loved the unpredictable set we got in Albany...

    My big sister rocked out the whole night -- she'd always wanted to see a Springsteen show and she got a great one. What surprised me was one of her highlights from the show was hearing 'This is Your Sword from the new album... she loved it! I was thinking BITUSA or Badlands, but nope!

    Sorry... a little late for a great review of the show... however -- if anyone wants to see the Albany show in its entirety in high def by a guy with a great camera setup then check out this youtube page:

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLu78o1FHF1ynWwCL40lmDtutfjK7sKNFV

    My highlights were Don't Change (really dig this INXS track), Something in the Night, and Ghost of Tom Joad (searing guitar work and vocals from Tom Morello... same as on High Hopes)

    :-)

    Was anyone else thinking these could be the final Bruce & ESB shows ?

    Ever? Not even remotely.

    He has too much left in the tank. Plus he's not ending the E Street band at Mohegan Sun.

    I've always assumed if there are pre-determined final E Street shows they will be 10-15 nights in the swamp.

    No. Probably for the year, as he'll be in Europe a lot with Jessica. Plus, he has a certain box set that he'll be working on.

    Bruce must be up to something with the Mohegan shows. A week and a half and they're still not available. Possible Blu-ray/DVD/CD release?

    caughts bits and pieces.
    Bruce took over an hour just for ESB.
    :D

    I really enjoyed Tom Morellos speech for KISS, and I think its pretty douchey of them to not play together again as the original 4, even if it were just 1 off for the show.

    Oh well .

    If this is true, the word "rest" is not in this man's vocabulary. Also, what about The River box set that was mentioned for a possible release later this year?

    "Bruce did mention during the Wrecking Ball tour that he wanted to go back to a Seeger Sessions type of style so it fits the rumored album sound. Hopefully we will learn more fairly soon"

    please GOD let this not be true. seeger sessions was a real low point for me with bruce

    this latest tour was as good as the rising and the reunion shows(for me)

    I of course prefer 'regular' Bruce but I LOVE the Seeger sessions stuff. The songs sounded incredible at Jazzfest this year. Plus WB has little hints of Seeger in it.

    Anything but Human Touch/Lucky Town bruce is fine by me

    I loved the Seeger Sessions Band.
    I was lucky enough to attend the Good Morning America event at Convention Hall. ( If you have a good eye you can see me on the rail with my PJ Yield hat on) -- fantastic morning !
    LOVE the horns !!!!!!

    ( THE AUDIO AND VIDEO ARE SLIGHTLY OFF I DONT KNOW WHY ? )

    I think I heard $269. I'm kind of disappointed in this. I was hoping we would get a River box set this year.

    I don't own any of these LP's, so I'm happy with it. Was hoping for a price in the $200 range though

    So does anyone really like High Hopes (the album)? I bought it on impulse.... and then traded it in at the record store for something I would actually listen to.

    You have problems ;)

    High Hopes, Tom Joad, Just Like Fire Would, Frankie Fell in Love..

    I'm not the biggest Boss fan, but c'mon...good stuff

    If you haven't seen the dude live, Soul, you have to. Don't let an album sway your decision.

    I haven't seen him live yet (the RNDM show and the Boss's show was on the same night in 2012!! Went with RNDM because I was broke and RNDM was only $30, lol). But i have every intention of seeing him. I really only like his ballads for the most part, but I believe everyone when they say he puts on an amazing live show, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. I just didn't like his new album. I didn't hate it either. But i found that I just wasn't feeling the desire to spin it after the first time. I forced a second and third time, and was done. I dunno.... it lacked something... Je ne sais quoi.

    The Stand Up For Heroes setlist from last week.

    -- Working On The Highway
    --Growin' Up
    --If I should Fall behind ( with Patti )
    --Born In The USA
    --Dancing In The Dark

    Some of these tracks are just odd acoustic.
    I guess I'm spoiled.
