    Santa Claus is coming to town? There had to be a story leading into that

    From what I've seen, it was a request.
    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:

    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)

    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.

    Yes, that's how much of a withdrawal I'm going through. I keep checking the site to see if Mohegan 1 is available.

    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?

    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 ? )
