Really? I didn't know that she was missing most of the shows. It's too bad since she's irreplaceable, but it's admirable the Springsteen's are good parents.
Patti didnt make it last night, but you would be amazingly shocked at just how well Soozie Tyrell fills in and does the fiddle and singing dutioes on a nightly basis.

Of all the feats Bruce Springsteen has mastered over the course of his 35-year career, perhaps the most frequently overlooked has been his ability to trick perception. He's got the ability to make small dreams -- like blowing out of a matchbox town and winning the heart of a beautiful girl -- seem like epic quests. He's likewise able to make reversals -- like national tragedies and open-ended wars -- seem thoroughly surmountable.
He's also got the ability to make a three-hour concert feel like it's whizzed by in 10 minutes, which was just one of the skills on display at Nassau Coliseum Monday night. Opening with a searing run through "Night" -- one of those songs about tiny towns and beautiful girls -- Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered an arena show that felt by turns both spectacular and intimate.
Three decades into a near-perfect career, with a reputation for raucous and roof-raising performances, the question is no longer, "Were they good?" The question is, "How good were they?"

Well, here's the answer: on Monday night, they were very good. Though they were down original two members -- Springsteen's wife, guitarist Patti Scialfa, was home with their teenage sons and keyboardist Danny Federici is on a leave of absence as he undergoes treatment for cancer -- the band still ignited early and often.
Monday's show was the sixth on the current leg of Springsteen's tour in support of "Magic," an album that grows in character and nuance with each listen.
After a barnstorming opening, the show settled into a string of dark, searching songs. The set seemed to be arranged as a series of questions and answers: "The Promised Land," which longs for an ideal nation, came on the heels of "Livin' in the Future," a deceptively riotous song Springsteen introduced by saying, "What's been done in the past seven years in this country has been an affront to the Constitution."
"The Rising," a glimmering gospel number written in the wake of September 11th, was followed by "Last to Die," a grim, blistering critique of the Iraq War built around the repeated question, "Who'll be the last to die for a mistake?" "Magic" became a windswept prairie ballad, sewn up by Springtseen's acoustic guitar and Soozie Tyrell's weeping violin. By the time they arrived at "Badlands," which was given riotous, volcanic treatment, it felt like blessed absolution.
If the bulk of the show was dedicated to optimism in the face of darkness, the encore was pure revelry. The group turned in an incendiary performance of the rarely-played "Ramrod," and dove headlong into a speedy, sweltering run through "Dancing in the Dark."
On the surface, it's a song about gnawing dissatisfaction and romantic longing, but in this context, following so many songs about global and personal crisis, it seemed to take on a new meaning. If "Magic" outlined the problem, this delivered the antidote: three minutes of pure bliss in increasingly stormy times. Dancing in the dark, indeed.

I'm in for this. Thanks Bathgate. Was in 222 that night. 8th show. One of the most enjoyable.
we were neighbors ( almost)
i was in the very straight back section- 224- right beside the calliope ,...and behind the Mighty Mighty Mighty Max .
As for the B&P : only 3 more slots to fill,
then ill start getting them together.
I have no artwork for these, im sure you can find some if you did some searching, and the quality is surprisingly very good., It is in MP3 form, just to let you all know.
It doesnt hurt that we got a pretty good setlist, either- sprinkled with a few rarer gems ( Adam Raised A Cain , Because The Night, Shes The One, Promised Land, Incident on 57th St , Jungleland , & Ramrod ! yeah baby ! )

I was there and it was awesome. My seat was about 15 rows up, right next to the stage. Really cool to see everyone up close. The place was packed - it was definitely sold out.
Patti wasn't there tonight, "she sends her love, so does Danny" Springsteen said.
As far as the main set goes, no complaints, Adam Raised a Cain was a terrific surprise and so was The River. I really wanted to hear Night, but we got No Surrender instead.
And then there was that fabulous encore.
Girls in Their Summer Clothes was, of course, the opener, Bruce dedicated it to "Mike and Nancy, and all the Nebraska girls!" Sounded a lot mellower than it did on record.
After that, he brought out Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. I was one of maybe a dozen people in the place who knew who he was and applauded wildly. They did Thunder Road, with Conor helping out on a few of the verses.
I figured they would do BTR next, but Springsteen said something about Detroit Medley (a few cheers) and Jungleland (a few more cheers), and said "the people have spoken!" I was stunned, never thought I'd get to hear it.
After Jungleland, I thought, "OK, now they'll play BTR." But no - they threw us Detroit Medley and I was ecstatic, jumping up and down, singing along to those old rock and roll songs. Was really a fun performance.
Then they did BTR - kicked on the houselights and everyone was up and clapping, singing along.
Wasn't expecting Dancing in the Dark since the encore was already full, but they did that one as well, the audience kept up the energy.
At this point my hands were hurting from clapping so much
American Land was a fun closer, I can see why some people would want Land of Hope and Dreams or My City of Ruins, but it worked, they had the words on the screens so people could sing along.
Overall, fantastic - played for over 2 1/2 hours, with several pleasant surprises. Springsteen and the E Street Band can still sell the Gospel of Rock and Roll better than anyone else.

Nice to get a cameo appearance by Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes-
always fun when the people around you are clueless and you have " one up" on them.

COUNT BASIE THEATRE HOLDS FUNDRAISING CONCERT FEATURING
AN EVENING WITH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Bruce Springsteen will perform a benefit concert at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ on Wednesday, May 7th.
Proceeds from “An Evening with Bruce Springsteen” will benefit the historic Count Basie Theatre and help offset the cost of the renovation and restoration of the theatre that will begin this summer. A portion of the concert proceeds will also support other programs and operations at the Theatre, such as the Cool School. Patti Scialfa serves on the Board of the Basie Foundation and as Honorary Chair of the Capital Campaign.
Rusty Young, CEO of the Count Basie Theatre Foundation, said, "We are excited that Bruce Springsteen will be performing a benefit concert and deeply appreciate his willingness to help preserve and restore the Basie."

If "Loose Ends" and "Meeting" didn't shake the encore up enough for ya, "Ramrod" took the usual "Dancing in the Dark" slot in the six-song encore. "American Land" closed the night as usual -- if ever there's ever a night to shake that one up, St. Patty's Day ain't it. While Stevie got a green hat of his own and Garry rocked some shamrock glasses, Bruce dedicated the song to Pat Riley and offered an Irish benediction, "May the road always rise to meet you, and the wind be at your back."
A Twin Cities resident, coming off a relatively undistinguished hometown show, calls this one "everything last night wasn't." And lest you think it can't possibly get any better than this, take a quick look at the handwritten setlist, which went through four iterations tonight: the audibled "My Hometown" replaced "Racing in the Street," and "Ramrod" had an alternate in "Rosalita." But Milwaukee, they're not through with you yet... "We'll be back in the summertime!"

For those who have been to a show this tour, what are the merchandise options (shirts specifically). Prices? Thanks.
there are a ton of shirts
( in cluded The Magic Cover , a silhouetted E Street Band ( perhaps the shadows from the photo inside of magic ) then they have a litany of other shirts featuring portions of the lyrics to his some of his classics - ( ie : Rosalita, Born To Run, Thunder Road, Backstreets , )
Lots and Lots of Magic Merch,..
all for men,
women , baby girl t's ,
and kids.
bring your credit card or lots of cash- prices are steep.! ALL Shirts definitely run small . Id say they ranger low end 35 up to higher maybe approx 60 . This is purely a guess tho-0 cant be certain of exact prices but i did remember they were steep and ran small.
also- you might opt to use http://www.fanfire.com, rather then have to hold a huge bag of stuff or crush your poster- which comes unrolled and without rubber bands . It is also rather large . Bruce Springsteen Fanfire
They also have Coffee Mugs, Baseball Caps, Bandannas , Laptop Bags , Pin -Buttons , Magnets , Sweatshirts ( zippered ) , mousepads, and programs.
that about sums it up .

Girls in Their Summer Clothes
Thunder Road
Jungleland
Detroit Medley
Born to Run
Dancing in the Dark
American Land
I was there and it was awesome. My seat was about 15 rows up, right next to the stage. Really cool to see everyone up close. The place was packed - it was definitely sold out.
Patti wasn't there tonight, "she sends her love, so does Danny" Springsteen said.
As far as the main set goes, no complaints, Adam Raised a Cain was a terrific surprise and so was The River. I really wanted to hear Night, but we got No Surrender instead.
And then there was that fabulous encore.
Girls in Their Summer Clothes was, of course, the opener, Bruce dedicated it to "Mike and Nancy, and all the Nebraska girls!" Sounded a lot mellower than it did on record.
After that, he brought out Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. I was one of maybe a dozen people in the place who knew who he was and applauded wildly. They did Thunder Road, with Conor helping out on a few of the verses.
I figured they would do BTR next, but Springsteen said something about Detroit Medley (a few cheers) and Jungleland (a few more cheers), and said "the people have spoken!" I was stunned, never thought I'd get to hear it.
After Jungleland, I thought, "OK, now they'll play BTR." But no - they threw us Detroit Medley and I was ecstatic, jumping up and down, singing along to those old rock and roll songs. Was really a fun performance.
Then they did BTR - kicked on the houselights and everyone was up and clapping, singing along.
Wasn't expecting Dancing in the Dark since the encore was already full, but they did that one as well, the audience kept up the energy.
At this point my hands were hurting from clapping so much
American Land was a fun closer, I can see why some people would want Land of Hope and Dreams or My City of Ruins, but it worked, they had the words on the screens so people could sing along.
Overall, fantastic - played for over 2 1/2 hours, with several pleasant surprises. Springsteen and the E Street Band can still sell the Gospel of Rock and Roll better than anyone else.

i realized that after i read on the show .
( Thunderroad )
Nice to get a cameo appearance by Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes-
always fun when the people around you are clueless and you have " one up" on them.
sounds like a great show- glad you enjoyed !
1 slot open remains for the Nassau Show .

Loose Ends
Meeting Across the River (with Richard Davis)
Jungleland
Born to Run
Ramrod
American Land
If "Loose Ends" and "Meeting" didn't shake the encore up enough for ya, "Ramrod" took the usual "Dancing in the Dark" slot in the six-song encore. "American Land" closed the night as usual -- if ever there's ever a night to shake that one up, St. Patty's Day ain't it. While Stevie got a green hat of his own and Garry rocked some shamrock glasses, Bruce dedicated the song to Pat Riley and offered an Irish benediction, "May the road always rise to meet you, and the wind be at your back."
A Twin Cities resident, coming off a relatively undistinguished hometown show, calls this one "everything last night wasn't." And lest you think it can't possibly get any better than this, take a quick look at the handwritten setlist, which went through four iterations tonight: the audibled "My Hometown" replaced "Racing in the Street," and "Ramrod" had an alternate in "Rosalita." But Milwaukee, they're not through with you yet... "We'll be back in the summertime!"

It was a hell of a show! Meeting Across the River was awesome! I can't wait for the Harley show in August!
there are a ton of shirts
( in cluded The Magic Cover , a silhouetted E Street Band ( perhaps the shadows from the photo inside of magic ) then they have a litany of other shirts featuring portions of the lyrics to his some of his classics - ( ie : Rosalita, Born To Run, Thunder Road, Backstreets , )
Lots and Lots of Magic Merch,..
all for men,
women , baby girl t's ,
and kids.
bring your credit card or lots of cash- prices are steep.! ALL Shirts definitely run small . Id say they ranger low end 35 up to higher maybe approx 60 . This is purely a guess tho-0 cant be certain of exact prices but i did remember they were steep and ran small.
also- you might opt to use http://www.fanfire.com, rather then have to hold a huge bag of stuff or crush your poster- which comes unrolled and without rubber bands . It is also rather large .
Bruce Springsteen Fanfire
They also have Coffee Mugs, Baseball Caps, Bandannas , Laptop Bags , Pin -Buttons , Magnets , Sweatshirts ( zippered ) , mousepads, and programs.
that about sums it up .
