You'll have a blast. Bruce and E-Street put on an amazing performance. Last time I saw him was last year in St. Paul and it was a damn shame since Patti didn't make it for the show. Bruce said they were having problems with their kids, so she had to stay home. Her absence was definitely noticeable since her vocals are incredible.
Sorry for the ramble...you'll have a blast. He puts on one of the best rock shows you'll ever see. It's hard to believe he's almost 60!7/8/95, 6/26/98, 6/27/98, 8/17/98, 8/18/00, 8/20/00, 8/21/00, 10/8/00, 10/21/00, 6/16/03, 6/18/03, 6/21/03, 6/22/03, 6/24/03, 10/3/04, 9/11/05, 9/12/05, 9/13/05, 9/15/05, 9/16/05, 5/16/06, 5/17/06, 5/20/06, 6/24/06, 6/30/060 -

from a post just 4 or 5 down the thread :
from backstreets:
Still no Patti, with Bruce stressing the need for adult supervision back home: "As I was leaving, 100 kids with beer kegs were rushing up the driveway... Patti'll take care of that!"
can you imagine?
" party at Evans house tonight , his parents are doing another show "
i have a strong feeling that Patti will apear tonight at Nassau - onybecause of the close proximity to their home over in Jersey ,...purely speculation ,..For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

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.7/8/95, 6/26/98, 6/27/98, 8/17/98, 8/18/00, 8/20/00, 8/21/00, 10/8/00, 10/21/00, 6/16/03, 6/18/03, 6/21/03, 6/22/03, 6/24/03, 10/3/04, 9/11/05, 9/12/05, 9/13/05, 9/15/05, 9/16/05, 5/16/06, 5/17/06, 5/20/06, 6/24/06, 6/30/060 -

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.For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

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.
