Go play outside ,.......


Out in the warm air for the first time this tour, Bruce and the Band brought the power to Hersheypark Stadium for the second time in less than a year. Without Patti and Max again, the Band managed a tight 27-song set which stretched out to three hours. The power and versatility of young Jay Weinberg was evident from the start, and the crowd ate him up—prompting Little Steven to pull a "We Love Jay" sign from the crowd and place it at the base of his drum set.

Bruce was shaking things up a little earlier than usual with the stadium staple “Twist and Shout," played for a girl who "promised to burn her Hannah Montana CDs” if he played it. Filling the sixth spot in the set, “Twist and Shout” absolutely rocked the Park and sent the crowd into an early frenzy. A second tour premiere was the apt sign-requested "Give the Girl a Kiss," for a Hershey's Kiss-shaped placard, which gave Clarence a nice turn at the mic. "Trapped" followed in the sign set as well.

While much of the set was standard for the first leg of the tour, both the Band and the crowd were on their game tonight. The three song stretch of “Seeds,” Johnny 99,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad” continues to impress.

good luck everyone.
wonder how many will be distributed this time around.

I believe the new triple decker car garage is situated right beside this area of the box office ,
so thats convenient.


And whats wit the 3 seated sections all the way in the rear of the GA ?
I havent seen any seating setup drawn up like that thuis far on this tour,

good luck to everyone going for the GA Pit .

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND GENERAL ADMISSION PROCEDURES

1. On the day of the show, sequentially numbered wristbands will be distributed beginning at 2:30 PM. This will take place outside in front of the Box Office doors (the Box Office between Gates A and D). Wristbands will be distributed until 5:30 PM. **(No more lottery/floor wristbands will be distributed until after doors are open)**
2. One wristband per patron, and the patron must be in possession of their GA ticket.
3. After the patron's ticket has been verified as a GA ticket, a wristband will be issued and affixed to the patron’s wrist.
4. Wristbanded patrons may leave the premises but must return at 5:30 PM.
5. A starting number will be randomly picked at 5:45 PM. A patron will draw the starting number. This number will be announced and displayed at the gate.
6. The patron wearing the wristband that matches the starting number will be first in line.
7. All other patrons with GA tickets and a wristband should begin lining-up sequentially behind that patron. The line will then be escorted into the area in front of the stage approximately 20 minutes before the rest of the patrons are allowed to enter the venue.
8. Anyone who receives a numbered wristband prior to doors has a chance to be first in line to enter the Front Area, but a wristband does not guarantee a place in the Front Area.
9. A wristband and a GA ticket are required to enter the Front GA Area.
10. The purpose of the random number distribution is to insure that all GA patrons have the same chance of being first in line, eliminating the need to camp out. This policy also helps to insure customer safety and provides for an effective means of crowd control.
11. Parking lots open at 12pm. Doors open at 6:30pm


ALL WRISTBANDS WILL BE ISSUED AT THE DESIGNATED GA ENTRANCE GATE.

NJ1 tonight,

I'll be there nice and early.

Just got to see him for the first time in Pittsburgh a few nights ago. He FINALLY played "Like a Rolling Stone" from an audience sign (I hear it is requested at pretty much every show). That song alone was worth the ticket price. Oh, that, and the one-two opener of Badlands and Candy's Room (two of my favorite songs ever).

It was probably the second best show I have ever seen.

they try to make it spontaneous with the sign requests and all,
but its really just a ploy tyhey use to involve the audience a little more.
Clearly, Bruce takes the signs from out of the audience,
but the question is are the songs already penciled in on the setlists.

We were waiting outside of Nassau and clearly heqard the song "Expressway To Your Heart " being soundchecked inside. Once the sound checked terminated, they let us inside the front pit .
anyhow, still a good thing to see and hear,
its always good when they play an obscure song here and there !

These are some more clips I snapped while at NJs IZOD Center Thursday Night from the rear pit.

Needless to say limited as far as quality but you can get the right idea. Its supposed to be High Def but who knows .
enjoy

WOW !
got a single on the drop after 530 PM .
Scrambled out to The Swamps Of New Jersey about 7 PM.
Didnt hit a lick of traffic at all- whatsoever.
Pulled a single in 220, row 9 seat 2 .
Outstanding view and sound was shockingly good.
( it was still pretty steep up there in the NJ Meadowlands but oh well- no pogoing )
Because of the late juncture, it was WILL CALL ticket pickups only.
They lined you up alphabetically, i was on the A-L s line.
I look up in the line and who is inj front of me ? Tom Brokaw,
it was evident when I heard his voice and it was no question him.
We rode the escalator up into the rotunda and I disappeared from him up into my section.
He was with 1 guy and 1 gal, perhaps his kids ?
That rocks !

The show itself, WOW !
