Eddie at Springsteen last night
According to Bruce's website http://brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html (read tour notes to the right side) Eddie was there at Key Arena last night watching from the side but didn't play.
This makes me sad because I have been thinking all week how cool it would have been for Eddie to come up and sing with Bruce. This would have been a dream come true since PJ and Bruce are my two favorite artists. It still was an awesome show, but this could have been a LEGENDARY show...at least to me.

A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.
Jesus. What is your problem?
Just kidding ... but his acoustic kind of stuff is genius. He wrote better songs than "Born in the U.S.A."
for the least they could possibly do
As for his merit. Well. Saying you don't dig Springsteen is sort of like saying you don't dig the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Petty...etc etc. He's a God among chimps when it comes to music. And I can understand people have their own personal taste. But ya know. i assume people who are down with PJ are lovers of good songs and the energy that rock and roll is known for. So sure, cringe when you hear Springsteen...but do yourself a favor and make sure you take a few listens of 'Badlands' 'The River' 'Bobby Jean' ' Darkness On the Edge of Town' and 'Radio Nowhere' before you write him off...the guy has forgotten more great songs in his sleep than 95% of the artist who have ever been recorded. You may very well not ever dig him...but there is a real good chance that like the Beatles/Zeppelin/ one day you will simply become aware and find yourself in tears screaming 'Born to Run' at the top of your lungs, just like the rest of us.
Great live show then and now. Back then, 3+ hours with no opening band.
As for the working man, even back then he was supportive of Vets groups, food banks, etc. Not preachy like Ed can sometimes do, but informative and supportive. Others were busy supporting the whales and no nukes (which he did also). He just seemed to pick issues that struck home with the regular Joe on the street. I mean really, how many Whales have YOU seen lately? lol.
Here is a good link of Ed and Bruce.

arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
ride" ! Unknown
I agree with what you are saying.
Bruce is awesome. I just saw him for the first time last year when he opened the tour in Hartford. Unbelievable.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
??
..
I was at the show.
And I don't have a "blue collar".
..
what exactly are you implying by "the whole blue collar thing" ?
You can't dream your dream
Your fingerprints on file
Left clumsily at the scene
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Yesterday the people were at ease
Baby slept in peace
You closed your eyes and saw her
You knew who you were
Now your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come
Your world keeps turnin' 'round and 'round
But everything is upside down
Your own worst enemy has come to town
There's a face you know
Staring back from the shop window
The condition you're in
Now you just can't get out of this skin
The times they got too clear
So you removed all the mirrors
Once the family felt secure
Now no one's very sure
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come
Everything is falling down
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come
Everything is falling down
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your flag it flew so high
It drifted into the sky

Are you high??? You should have your TenClub membership revolked for making a statement like this. I understand people like him but comparing him to the Beatles??? Wow.
actually mainstream bruce is what i like...does that make me a bad fan?
devils and seeger was less than good...and if it wasn't for the rising and the reunion tour i would have written him off a long time ago. magic doesn't even come close to the river and darkness...
to each his own, I happen to think the Beatles were overrated - BIG TIME
yes I said it
and Bruce is right up there as far as songwriting goes
Absolutely.
Springsteen was my Pearl Jam growing up. He is the one who has taught me the language I now speak everyday, and the one who introduced me to the town where I now live.
The other day I heard "the rising" playing in a store, and I was reminded about how incredibly beautiful and touching that whole album is.
I do. And it's OK.
This is more along the lines of what I meant.
for the least they could possibly do
His Storytellers that plays constantly on one of my HD channels is great. I had never even heard a lot of the songs that were on there (there are gaps in my Springsteen discography) ... and I thought they were great.
The Rising is one of those. Just an incredible bit of songwriting.
for the least they could possibly do
I agree
When God calls you a wanker, then you must be a wanker.
hoping to hear devils arcade off the new one tonight
and no surrender anywhere in the set!
Agreed!

Really looking forward to this show ..........I've been checking out the setlists in the other thread and it looks like he is mixing it up a bit more of late ...should be amazing. Are you on the floor?
