    You guys are in for a treat! I'm not sure they'll keep up the 3.5 hour shows from the off, but towards the end of the tour it may happen! If they start out at that they'll be touching 4.5 hours by the end and there's no way they can sustain that night after night. Even the E Street Band is human (well, apart from Nils, they've replaced most of him)!

    This is, without doubt, the greatest performance of any one song on this tour though!

    Anyone know if there's a good sounding Helsinki(?) boot available?

    Don't be disappointed if the shows aren't that long...I've read US shows are typically between 2.5 - 3 hours...maybe Still a GREAT show length.
    yes agreed


    Every show I've seen by him has been 3hrs or little past it. Final giant stadium show was really long and he didn't wanna leave the stage.

    Really glad this time around at giant stadium he won't have a curfew.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    If hotels in Chicago weren't so expensive or sold out I would strongly consider trying to do wrigley

    I've still got those 5 deep discount tickets for tomorrow night's show... they're pretty nice reserved seats just a few rows from the field by the 3B dugout. I'll pass them along for $75 each... if you're dying to go to the show and can't swing the money then I'll hook you up -- just pay it forward down the road when your wallet is a little healthier. :)

    Tonight's setlist so far has me way psyched for tomorrow. My daughter is bent because Bruce played Because the Night, which she wants to see live so badly, but since Bruce mixes it up so well during a multi-night stand I think we'll have some rarities tomorrow night. :twisted:

    I'm serious about the previous offer, though... if there's any Boston area fans that haven't had a chance to see Bruce then I'll hook you up and if you like the show like I think you will then just pay it forward to someone else down the road. Fenway 2 is gonna rock and we'll all get wet... and Bruce will come out and get wet with us. :D

    Awwww... fuck me -- I just post that and he plays Drive All Night!?!?!

    I've only seen that one once at the River at MSG show back in 2009. :cry: One of my faves...

    Here's my video from that memorable night as a tribute:
