    I am so fucking pumped for Friday!

    ***My only concern is that they played Incident at the last show, and he probably won't play it on back to back nights. Then again, they've has three whole days of so...

    arrive early to get a bracelet.

    you guys should meet up at the show / on the line- easier to do the line thing with a partner.

    anyhow- what kind of summer this is gearing up to be

    lots of Bruce ESB and PJ.

    Life is good.

    haha I live a long way from Portland, and my seats are in the back, probably won't get their until show show time.

    I'd love to hear Incident
    Would love to Hear Kitty's Back
    I'd go insane if we got a new Tracks track, like... say... Frankie or the Promise.
    Hell, I'd be pleased a punch if he brought back Born in the USA.
    Whatever, Bruce almost never disappoints.
    Bring it on!

    screw it
    im making signs for Giants Stadium !



    MARCH 28, PORTLAND
    Friday night's show at the Rose Garden had its moments, but it took a while for them to materialize. A sluggish start gave way to a good run through the middle of the show, and to several surprises, with few of them written on the set list. Rather, they came courtesy of an abundance of signs. Taking one cue from a fan, Springsteen indicated that he would honor the request despite the sign looking "cheap." "We treat them all alike," he said. And in this instance, he played not one but two favorites off Greetings from Asbury Park in succession, each played for only the second time on the tour: "For You" followed by "Lost in the Flood."



    The latter showed real E Street mettle, as Roy and Bruce had to work to get their parts synced just right. Once the band kicked in, the song really belonged to Max Weinberg, who pushed the band hard all night long.

    Nils Lofgren had his moment on a superb "Prove it All Night," taking an extended solo to end the song. And Clarence didn't wait until "Jungleland" to shine (another request in the encore, courtesy of a sign that was a gorgeous likeness of an Oregon license plate). The Big Man sounded strong throughout the show, particularly on the "Night" opener; he lost his way a bit at the end of the "Jungleland" solo, but the band covered nicely.

    Though parts of the show sounded rushed -- "Last to Die," in particular was a sprint -- Bruce was in good humor throughout. He joked that the pot smoke wafting up from the pit might cause a shorter show (it ended up clocking in at a respectable 2:20). Later, spotting a group of women in the pit wearing tee shirts that read "Lesbians [heart] Bruce," he changed a line in "American Land" from "the Germans and the Jews" to "lesbians and Jews." Though the show didn't sell out, the crowd was receptive and enthusiastic, and the quiet parts of the show were pin-drop quiet. That made "Magic" (returning to the set after a night off) and the last verse of "Jungleland" particularly memorable.

    Next: The second of three in the Pacific Northwest, Saturday night in Seattle.

    I usually don't buy much at Bruce shows, but the day of my front row center show, I got the grey bag, and the grey shirt that has the band profile on the back. I love the bag - I use it all the time.

    I am jealous of who heard For You - it is one of my favorite songs and I don't think I've ever heard it live. And Prove it All Night.

    Oh yeah, and Point Blank, though I believe I heard that in The River tour.

    went to the seattle show last night...........no Patty or Danny, but Nils was there. Clarence was looking really slow and tired, but man, can still play that sax.

    Absolutely awesome they opened with Trapped instead of Radio Nowhere (was second song). So there were two tour premieres (Trapped and Point Blank)

    Did a Patti Smith cover (Because the Night)........

    Here's the setlist:

    Trapped
    Radio Nowhere
    No Surrender
    Lonesome Day
    Gypsy Biker
    Magic
    Reason To Believe
    Darkness On The Edge Of Town
    Because The Night
    She's The One
    Livin' In The Future
    The Promised Land
    Waitin' On A Sunny Day
    Your Own Worst Enemy
    Point Blank
    Devil's Arcade
    The Rising
    Last To Die
    Long Walk Home
    Badlands

    And the encore............I'd say he's taking requests.......

    Bruce grabs a sign '10th Ave'.....played it.

    Grabs another sign 'Rosalita', leans it against the base of his mic......played it.

    Immediately goes into Born to Run.........

    then finishes with the Irish ditty American Land.

    I have no voice today. :D

    Bruce actually wrote Because The Night - so hence not really a " cover "

    Yeah, to me its kind of like Footsteps/Times of Trouble, and as much as I love Patti and her version, Bruce did the lion's share of it, but the song has 2 separate lives with 2 different artists. (And I can sing along to the right version at each of their shows!)

    Man, I hope that I get to hear a lengthy version of 10th Avenue Freeze-Out before I die. Or even just a regular version. I've heard that song a million times, but it's one of those songs that just never gets old.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    yeah, Bruce wrote the music and the chorus. gave it to Patti Smith unfinished and she wrote the rest of the lyrics. then i guess when Bruce got around to it he wrote his lyrics which are pretty similar to Patti's. great version on the Live 1975-85 box.
