a bump for first Boston show - how was it and what time did they come on? heading to show tonight.....last show of the the leg hoping they mix it up.

I wasn't there, but from what I hear they were on stage around 8:20

I was at Boston last night - got my ticket at 10 am yesterday morning on TM - section 19, 3 rows behind Roy (I sat in the same seats on opposite side of stage at Hartford, 3 rows behind Danny)

Bruce came on at 8:20, done by 10:35.

Going again tonight - can't wait. Nothing like back to back Bruce, expect maybe back to back PJ.

I was hoping for some songs from Wild, Innocent last night, especailly after Albany last week, but no such luck...hopefully tonight. Kitty's Back, please!!

Last night was a pretty generic setlist for this tour, except for Jungleland. But the show was still so awesome - even a generic Bruce setlist is better than most other shows. New songs seem to have evolved since Hartford started off the tour 6 weeks ago. Great stuff. No Surrender in #2 spot. Jackson Cage in place of Night (too bad, I love night). First time eharing Tunnel of Love, so that was nice to hear. Patti actually sounded good. Marriage proposal in the pit last night too, Bruce dedicated I'll Work for your Love to them. I remember a proposal at a recent PJ show in Boston - I'm thinking of 2nd rehearsal show in 2004, if I remember correctly (9/29/04)

Peter Wolf was in the house, but didn't come on stage - he was sitting for part of the show a couple of sections over, disappeared for a bit (to the soundboard I think) then came back and sat the rest of the show. Hard to miss if you know what he looks like.

Rumor of Santa Claus Coming to Town tonight. Also rumors of tonight being Danny's last show in the band. Could be very sad and emotional if true.

Here is Backstreets.com review of last night and setlist....



November 18 / Boston, MA / TD Banknorth Garden
Notes: The first night in Boston, "Home of the World Champion..." Bruce began, putting on a dejected face as the crowd went nuts for the Sox, "ah, you know the rest." That was his only sullen moment of the night -- it was a high-energy show start to finish, with a typically great Beantown crowd to match. "She's the One" was especially intense, Bruce channeling his energy at the end into a high toss of his guitar to tech Kevin -- right over Garry's head. Good thing Kevin's got hands, and and good thing Garry's not a couple inches taller. A special moment came a few songs later, before "I'll Work For Your Love": "I'm kind of like a captain of a ship," said Bruce, "We've got a little proposal going on!" At the front of the pit was a guy with a sign that read "We met 15 years ago, I'm proposing tonight!" The lucky lady was held aloft during the song as Bruce blessed their union. "Alright, kids, remember... you gotta work, work!" (And to stress that point, he went into "Tunnel of Love" next.) He also added, "Next time try a candlelight dinner, bottle of wine, the usual." Clarence was spot-on all night, especially on... wait for it... yep, "Jungleland," in the encore. The Big Man nailed his spotlight moment. The only real curveball in the set, "Jungleland" went out to Bruce's friend Bob Coles, as well as a whole host of "mamas" in the crowd, including Max's mom and George Travis's too, who's 93! Also in the house, hometown fave -- and frequent Springsteen guest, though not tonight -- Peter Wolf. Maybe tomorrow?

Bath...I think this was definitely Danny's last show.
The stage exit spoke volumes...

Has The Phantom ever been center stage during the bows before?

That was pretty emotional to watch. You could see him wiping away tears heading down the steps.

I'm guessing Indy might be the winner for me. I don't know what St. Louis has done, but there have been no major acts here in a while.
