not a bad show on the lists but you guys get 5 cover sonbgs ibn atl?

niiiiice

cannot wait for my nass col GA show !

Notes: Bruce was a man of many hats tonight—besides the cowboy hat for "Outlaw Pete" there was a white fedora for "Tenth Avenue"—but even more notable was the number of covers: five out of a 25-song set. There was the now-standard sign collection song, "Raise Your Hand," and the encore-opening "Hard Times," of course. And then two requests. First: "They think they're gonna stump the band—but this is the greatest bar band in the land, and if they don't think we know 96 fuckin' Tears..." Yep, spotlight on the keys for ? and the Mysterians' "96 Tears," followed by a bit more common cover (but no less powerful for it), the E Street Band's take on Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," also a tour premiere.

Bruce wasn't done with the signs yet—a few songs later, after "The Wrestler," he started looking through the crowd for one he'd seen earlier. And there it was: "Alanta's STEENagers deserve Jungleland." They got it, too, after Bruce talked a bit about meeting some young'uns in Freehold who said they had never seen the E Street Band, leading to their current mission. Speaking of teenagers, Jay Weinberg got another one under his belt tonight, not only revisiting the songs he played Friday night in Hartford, but also pounding away on "Land of Hope and Dreams" for the first time—a fabulous job on this one.

Still no Patti—Bruce dedicated "Kingdom of Days" to her once again, and he also gave a shout-out to producer Brendan O'Brien, whose home base is here and who was in the crowd. Bruce was feeling good, feeding off the loud, boisterous crowd, who'd been into it all night, and he had one more treat for them after "American Land." "It ain't over!" And then came that fifth and final cover, the tour's first "Detroit Medley," with Professor Roy Bittan going nuts on the piano, driving the crowd wild and closing the Atlanta show in style.

wow
the gall ( or is it gawl ) of some people.
i'd nip it at the bud at the very beginning of the show

you might wanna relocate cuz i am standing up and rocking out the entire show.
if bruce comes out and does 2-3 hours with the band ,..
than thats the very least they deserve.
If you wanna sit, sit , but dont lump me together in your subset.


pfffft

this happens to me 9 times out of 10 at the jones beach ampitheatre.
i guess cuz they keep making the place bigger and bigger every summer,
its long lost any sense of intimacy it may have once had.
