    Hey Bathgate, do GA tickets ever get dropped have you seen, or is it mainly numbered seats?

    - I did thanks - I made a note of the time - it was about 11:30 in the time zone of the show - I'm about 4 hours from Albany - I'm really torn between buying a ticket on the er secondary market and knowing I have it, or holding out to pay the regular price and risking not getting one. I really want to be in the close pit for what will probably be my last Bruce show for a while!

    yeah, I think the only song out of that era that really stands up to his other stuff is "If I should fall behind" (this will be played at my wedding in June). I like "trouble river", "lucky town" and "roll of the dice" on occasion though.

    in all honesty i dont think any bruce song " sucks " .

    some are just more / less likeable then others.

    hes gone from 1 side of the spectrum and back .

    reading new rolling stone today , reflecting on the 11 year hiatus from The E Street Band ,
    so unbelievable when you see them jam today-
    they havent missed a beat even thru all these years.

    i kinda like mans job and i also like ii wish i was blind.

    theres that geography thing we spoke of

    did you see the " Tweet " thread-
    maybe we can work out that " this is the year bathgate goes to seattle to see PJ and fragileblake comes out east to see bruce and esb on home turf ( with the caviat being home = bruce = MSG . )
    i hope but i am realistic for an east coast PJ show at this point in time.
    Bruce, however, will be returning after europe.

    Backstreets News

    10/29, L.A.: "I LOVE THE SPORTS ARENA!"
    The wildfires may not have reached the L.A. Sports Arena, but the heat sure did. On the figurative side, it was a powerful performance that had the usual staid, laid-back L.A. crowd on their feet and putting their cell phones away. "I love the Sports Arena!" hollered Bruce, and though the venue has seen better days, returning to the E Street Band's old '80s haunt rather than the cavernous newfangled Staples Center surely had something to do with the energy -- "very old school!" as he put it. On the literal side, also very old school, it was hot. As in fainting hot. Springsteen brought water to the pit from his own supply, and soon water bottles were being distributed, but a couple folks still went down. "We only lost one, right?" Bruce asked toward the end of the show. "Oh, we lost two?..."

    "Gypsy Biker," with its screaming guitars, was awe-inspiring, and "Reason to Believe" took the set to another level -- followed by "Candy's Room" and "She's the One," and the place was jumping, no one in their seats. There was a great reaction to new material from Magic as well, which Bruce referred to as "our smash hit album." There were screams for "Girls in Their Summer Clothes," as Bruce sent it out to "all the California Girls!" A terrific story preceded "Thundercrack." Bruce talked about the band's first visit to L.A., for the 1973 Ahmanson Theater CBS showcase -- notable because it was the first time any member of the E Street Band had ever been on an airplane. He introduced the song as "our big showstopper back then," adding that by the time they'd played it the show had pretty much stopped (to visible laughter from Clarence and Danny). He didn't play "Haunted House" with a mention of his first gigs at the Sports Arena on the River tour exactly 27 years ago... but there's always tonight!

    Next: The closest we'll get to a Halloween show, back at the Sports Arena this evening.

    BRUCE ON THE BLOCK


    BRUCE ON THE BLOCK
    Charity auction offers chance to meet Springsteen
    Next week, Springsteen will be playing two different benefits in New York (see our Tour/Ticket Info page for details). On Wednesday, November 7, the cause is the Bob Woodruff Family Fund, which supports injured service members and their families. It's a cause Springsteen is really getting behind: in addition to playing that show, he has also donated quite a package to a benefit auction. Online now at charityfolks.com, the auction includes four VIP tickets to the Magic show of your choice, plus soundcheck, backstage access, and the big draw, a meet-and-greet with Bruce himself. Bidding is currently at $11,000, with all proceeds going to the Bob Woodruff Family Fund; the auction ends November 9.

  • Hell yes! We can also substitute an Ed Ved solo show for a PJ show if you're so inclined.
