IRememberDBoon Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Absolutely one of the best shows Ive ever seen. Fucking unreal So many great songs one after the other. There are so many highlights but For You and Rosalita were great as you can imagine. They came out and machine gunned the first like 5 songs without blinking. It was EPIC brah!

LouisvilleGreg Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was in the pit towards the back, but that was okay as there was plenty of room. I went with two other big fans and a newbie and we all had a blast. For those who haven't been following the tour, Bruce has been pulling out stacks of song requests from the audience every night and then the band takes a stab at some very rare and decades since last played songs. Last night's big surprise was "Crush On You," a fun, up tempo rocker from "The River" that hadn't been played in 28 years, and I wont quite say they nailed it, but the result was pretty friggin' great. Bruce was on fire all night, jumping into the crowd, pulling 3 different people onto the stage, including a teenage girl that he picked up in his arms and kissed on the cheek. He was doing backbends off of the mike stand, jumps from the higher level of the stage to the lower, he slid on his knees, and generally just delivered all night, as was reported with virtually no time for the band to capture their breath. Highlights for me we're: "Backstreets," "Stand On It," "Quarter to Three," "Spirit in the Night," "For You" and the show closing "Twist and Shout." Great show all around!

JethroNC Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Another incredible Bruce show. It had been a few years since I last heard "Rosalita" live, and I just about lost control when he played the opening notes of it. I wish "Thunder Road" had been played (it was on the original setlist for the night)...and I could have done without "Mary's Place." I know it's a fun song for most of the fans, but it just doesn't do much for me. "Backstreets" was definitely a highlight, too -- including the fan's sign about their band breaking up.
