    I'm gonna be behind the stage tomorrow night, never seen bruce live, I'm SOOOO pumped.

    Cool, another Ottawa person on here. I saw him solo in Ottawa, then with the whole band a few months ago and it was my favorite concert of 2007 AND I saw PJ that year *gasp*

    Last time I checked there were floor tickets for Montreal. I'm actually going to Montreal to see Henry Rollins tonight, and I'm staying strong not to defect, because I do want to see Henry too, but its slightly tempting! However I'll be seeing Bruce Thursday AND Friday.

    You'll change your mind after you'll pass the borders..Plus Montreal is a great crowd for concerts.You wouldn't regret it, i promise you.

    How late can you get there and get a wristband? Rochester I won't be there before 4, so I'm guessing that's too late no? but Buffalo the next day I can get there as early as I want. Any ideas? I hope to get front pit once on this tour! I was second pit in Ottawa.


    so - then try at 4 regardless !
    you might get lucky.

    for the following night, if you have the time to spare, get down there as Early As Humanly Possible. Random is Random, but still be on the tail end one night then the head end the next,...;)

    back to back is awesome- and a rare occurence !
    be careful photographing,

    enjoy !

    Montreal was awesome last night. I still can't decide if I liked this show or Ottawa better. I was lucky last night and got 1st row! I couldn't believe it. I went to the left side of the rail though. Bruce gave about 95% of his love to the right side unfortunately lol, but it was all good. Clarence was the man last night.

    I was behind the stage last night.

    That was the single best show I've seen in my life. Holy shit! Opening with Night! Jungleland as the encore!!!!!!

    I can't get over how amazing that concert was. I thought nothing could top Pearl Jam in Ottawa, I was wrong!!!

    I now NEEED to see a show in the pit, but I don't think the show could have been any better.

    I know - I am so excited! I've worked basically non-stop since I saw Bruce in Ottawa, and I'm fortunate that I have a work meeting down in Pennsylvania on Saturday so I'd have had to take Friday off anyway, so getting people to cover my classes on Thursday wasn't too hard. I'm excited to see back to back nights, because that's where variation is usually. So yeah, Buffalo, heck I'll go right in the morning and wait for my armband.

    p.s. I did go to Rollins last night and it was awesome, but the border when they ask where I'd been, purpose of trip, etc., and I say I went to a show, they asked Springsteen? I think I was in some Springsteen traffic when I was coming home because I was on 720 right past the bell centre at about 11:15. But Rollins was awesome too and it was my only chance to see him.

    when you have historically played 3 hour shows, theres not much time for an opening band.

    i dont think theres been a true " opener " in over 20 years .
    ( maybe Bob Marley and The Melody Makers ? ? :confused: )
    Besides, who could open for " The Boss " ?

    i would be in my seat no later then 8pm , the times have differed between 8:15 am and 8:30pm .

    enjoy !

    The guard last night told us that Bruce wasn't even in Montreal yet, and that was past 7:30 when they first let the pit in. I heard he was stuck at the border lol. The nerve.

    incredible !

    I have rear stage in the 5th or 6th row at Nassau coming up next week- and I am pumped ! .

    Section 224

    I have been rearstage before - & again - I like seeing what the band seees and this point of perspective. As long as the sound ( at Nassau ) holds up, I'll be fine !

    This show in particular has had significant interest- i guess being more or less a NY area Metro show- always high in demand especially with only 1 appearance.

    After this, I will have a LONG wait until July at Giants Stadium .

    nice show ! This would have been one of my favorite partsd of the night :
    "Because the Night" (a North American tour premiere, at least) was met with a huge roar as Roy started the intro. And you gotta love a night when Bruce calls audibles of "Darkness" (replacing the setlisted "Working on the Highway") and "Jungleland" (in the "Bobby Jean"/"Thunder Road" slot), with another how-does-he-do-it stunner of a solo from Clarence.
    glad you enjoyed the show(s) !

    I am so so very pumped for 1 week from tonight at Nassau !

    Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam (don't know if the other guys are fans)
    Sleater Kinney
    The Killers
    The Wallflowers
    The Goo Goo Dolls
    RHCP maybe (i know Flea and Anthony are fans of Nebraksa)
    Tom Morrelo as the Nightwatchman

    Just got a ticket in section 101 to see him at Key Arena on the 29th. Can't wait. Saw Bruce and Co. twice in Philly what seems like years ago , but is in reality a few months ago. Can't wait. Already bouncing off the walls.
