    This show was the highlight of the 4 that I went to this tour...it was pretty close to my ideal setlist. I got my Of a Girl opener, Alone, Brother, Immortality and Indifference...I was one happy Jersey Girl :-)

    What were the other 3 shows you saw? Those songs you mentioned, were some highlights for me too. Though, i didn't care for Jersey Girl. Sorry, not a Bruce fan.


    I went to Boston, and both MSG shows too....I loved MSG2, but Newark topped them all for me!

    I'm with you there. I thought Newark was real good! I too, went to both MSG shows. I actually liked MSG 1 better then MSG 2. Wanted to do Boston, but couldn't swing it, with it being on a Monday night(i couldn't take off from work). That frickin' work ALWAYS seems to get in the way of everything> :lol:

    I had a great experience at the Newark show. I picked up a single 10C ticket from the forum - partnered with a veteran of 50+ shows. We had section 19 / 3rd row with an excellent view of the stage. I had no complaints with the setlist - especially pleased to hear Inside Job, In Hiding, & Amongst the Waves.

    There has been a lot of comments regarding the crowd. I know we were jumping up and down for the whole show. I wasn't paying too much attention to the people around me. Anyway, everyone enjoys music in there own way - some are hyper and some are relaxed. Enjoy the moment and don't worry about the people around you.

    I agree! I didnt go to Boston, but looks like a great show with a sick set list (would have loved to have seen that one!). I went to the MSG shows and Newark - of course, the MSG shows were awesome, but Newark was my favorite. If they had asked me to prepare the set, it would have been awfully close to this one! (immortality, Alone, Brain of J, Brother, Glorified G!). I know a lot of people were slamming the crowd, but from where i was sitting, the crowd was really into it. And, in the end, its about the MUSIC (IMHO). Hunger Strike at MSG might have been my favorite moment from this tour (maybe all time), but Newark was my favorite show. Cant wait for the boots (ill pick up Newark, MSG1, MSG2, Boston and probably Hartford).

    Went to Hartford & Newark and I agree... Newark was a great show with an incredible set. I was one happy Jersey Girl too. Saw Bruce twice last year & my only disappointment was that he didn't play Jersey Girl. My wish came true when Eddie started singing. Couldn't believe my ears!

    Newark was a great show! Brother, Leatherman, Alone, and Of a Girl as an opener. Great show, even if the band did not feed of the crowd. I liked Ed talking about the people in the back and catching 2 or 3 of them doing the dirty deed in the back. I did like when a girl behind me asked "what was the name of that song?', and I said "GO!". I understand they only sing "GO" a few times in the song. :roll:

    Oh yeah... Laureldale was a real happening place (yawn) Now I live in Ringoes NJ and things are way more exciting here (double yawn). So that makes me a Jersey Girl... and I just loved that PJ played it. But Leatherman....hmmm not so much. I see you liked that one. I have to say, I was not expecting a high energy show. Figured they'd save it all up for MSG. I am happy to say I was VERY wrong.

    Listening to this show right now on PJ Radio. Almost done.

    Beautiful version of Indifference, which I'll take any day!

    The whole show was fantastic. Still wishing they played No Way though.

    This show was fantastic, I'm really sad that I haven't seen them since then. They need to hurry up and "come back."

    In retrospect, despite how weak the crowd was, that show had some moments. The setlist was superb too. Much different vibe from the Spectrum. The Spectrum was very upbeat, a celebration/party atmosphere. Newark was a really intense show from start to finish. Very different, but equally awesome. I'm lucky that I decided to make the trip up there for that show, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
