the problem with that is.... i don\'t think there is 3 hours worth of songs i\'d want to hear the boss play
why go to a show when you\'ll just get the same prerecording you would hear on a cd

And that\'s exactly the type of comment that I\'d expect to hear from someone who\'s never seen or heard a Bruce show. He/They are not a nostalgia act; it\'s not like going to see The Rolling Stones or Aerosmith who have basically played the same concert for the past 30 years. Some highlights from this past tour
2008-05-07 (Bruce did a benefit and played two complete albums / Darkness On The Edge Of Town & Born To Run)
He also dusted off some gems from the past:
- Summertime Blues (Last Time Played 1982-05-29)
- Held Up Without A Gun (Last Time Played 1980-12-31)
- Good Rockin\' Tonight (Last Time Played 1981-02-16)
- And Then She Kissed Me (Last Time Played 1975-08-23)
- Mountain Of Live (Last Time Played 1975-12-31)
There\'s rumors that on this tour, he will take time out of the main set to play a complete album from his catalogue.
To each his own... I\'d much rather see Bruce this summer than Phish... I\'d much rather drink Guinness than some IPA... I\'d much rather grab a slice of pie at Brother Bruno\'s (Wayne, NJ) that wait on line at any of the pizza joints on Wooster St....
Oh dear god. You HAVE just committed a cardinal sin. :jawdrop:
You just dissed new haven pizza. I totally can\'t back you this time. you\'re on your own.
Not really dissing it. If you go back to 00-01, I still made it know that I prefered J&M to anything on Wooster. Now that I\'m back in NJ, I prefer a slice from a local joint rather than drive 1-1/2 each way for pizza (that I would most likely have to wait on line to get). It\'s symantics. When my wife came up for a SB party one year, she had some Sally\'s and didn\'t like it at all - the burnt cornmeal turned her off.
