Vacant Horizon Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 that video is awesome! i love bruce's marching theres some pro shot stuff from G-boro show that popped up too. wonder if he's filming the entire tour or something. i notice he's doing 2 shows then taking several days off. probably not practical for roadies and gear, but great for him. he's taking care of himself. he probably flies in for the soundcheck and flies out after the show. btw, been listening to the new one and the rising. the rising truley is an E street record. it's the band playing on it. Wrecking Ball is definitely more of a solo album. little steven isn't even on it. not a criticism, but for those who may have had other expectations, its a solo album a la D/D and Seeger Sessions. to me, it's kind of a mix between the two.

dtram Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw night 1 in philly (supposed to go to night 2 but personal stuff prevented it) and it was one of the best paced, energetic, emotional shows I've ever been to. It's cliche, but like wine, this band is getting better and better (and bigger and bigger.) A couple of nice recordings of the 2 shows on dime (Bakerstuff version on night 2 and Tapehead 2 version of night 1 are my recommendations.) Just finishing up night 2 right now and the 14 minute Kitty's back is great as is the 12 minute Thundercrack, sick I missed that one. Maybe the best the show I've ever been to where I didn't know close to half the tunes, really hadn't heard a lick of the new record expect we take care once. Can't speak to the record but the new tunes come off great live. Go see this show if you can, and check out the video on you tube of Bruce chugging half a beer in the encore of night one about 6 rows up one of the sections during raise your hand, great stuff.

roadhse ma Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Caught The Boston Show Last Month Crowd & Band Energy was RockingSetlist was strong Band was very tight for such a short History and Boston Got "We'll be Seeing Ya"Typical line when he tips his hand bout coming back soon. Last week had business in NJ on the same day Bruce was Playing Izod # 2What a show! For me one of the best of the Decade Setlist was full of Wildcards..Johnny 99 /Jackson Cage She's the One (both played in Boston But so fine)then the Big GunsCandys Room Trapped RAMROD and a Stellar Racing in the Streets... oh and my tkt came from BTX similar to what we do hereExcepting BTXrs actually plan pre show meet ups w/ online strangers whom become friendsfood for thought fellow Wilco fansSee you at the Show Was sooo tempted to take in MSG but gotta pay a Mortgage....

There is a source up now: http://www.dimeadoze...s.php?id=401053 I did snag a few of the shows from this tour - from what I heard they sound pretty good. Also grabbed the DVD from the Philadelphia show, but I haven't had a chance to watch it, yet. Does Springsteen officially allow taping - some of the gear being used to tape are great?

bobfrombob Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Does Springsteen officially allow taping - some of the gear being used to tape are great?No. He seems to generally be fine with stuff shared and traded (not sold) but does not officially allow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 No. He seems to generally be fine with stuff shared and traded (not sold) but does not officially allow it. Thanks - wasn't sure because on the Springsteen XM station, they play concerts that "sound" like audience recordings (some sound better than others). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 And reportedly, that happened only becase Bruce gave them the ok to play anything they could find, including audience recordings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was at MSG on Monday. My first Springsteen show, so can't comment on how this setlist compared to others. All I can say is that I was blown away. Three hours of awesomeness. Just incredible, joyous energy, and so uplifting. Backstreets, Spirit in the Night, and Rosalita were supposedly the surprise songs. Backstreets in particular was a great, powerful performance. Band was tight, even though there seemed like 50 of them up there on stage! Will hopefully make other shows. Anyone try the Backstreets ticket drop system? I was thinking about it for the Newark show, but not sure if it's worth it. I've heard people scoring some nice seats though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as long as you keep your phone with you most of the time, it works very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is not "Open Taping" but he is "indifferent" and allows to posted on the BT sites. All recordings are done in"stealth mode" for the most part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadhse ma Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ok folks this is not grade schoolI used that particular word Because this is an expression that is used commonly on Backstreets (where opsopcopolis is also a member)We use it to direct the attention of someone to a thread. It is often placed in the subject line and a question is asked ... So perhaps indicating this word at all is something that is not going to work here for Helping others out... Isn't that what you two are alll about... Helping out a fellow member of your virtual community ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While I didn't end up actually buying my tickets using the drones system, I got three or four calls in the two or three days leading up to the show, and every time I jumped right on TM and found tickets. I would definitely recommend the service Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadhse ma Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thought I would share one of the best posts on BTX for a song request and the reason why... Bruce's "Janey" dedication in Albany...surreality! by Janiegirl1961 on Apr 28, 2012 10:09 amOK...so somehow I manage to get GAs for Albany NY months ago, after getting shut out of GAs for Jersey and NY (Ticketmaster, once again, you suck!). About 8 weeks before the show, my mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. My family and I spend hard days and weeks helping my mother get through her last days, and she passes a week before the Albany show. Her funeral is a day or two ahead of the show, and I decide that I don't have the strength to go...even to see Bruce (whose music has filled my life since the mid 70's). My brother talked me into going ("Janie, if anything will make you feel better...it is Bruce!"). So, my daughter Molly (13) and I make the 3 hr trip up to Albany...hoping for the best, the PIT, maybe some help in lifting our spirits. We get wristband numbers 494 and 495...and the Pit angels had our backs, because number 445 gets chosen! We end up front row against the barricade, just next to the left-most stage extension (the usual Sunny Day and Dancing in the Dark side). We brought a sign that said "janey Don't You Lose Heart For My Mom Jane, RIP 7/10/22 - 4/11/12", and I watched Bruce read it at one point early in the show. After the Apollo medley, the lights went down, and I saw him heading our way (OMG...an "is this happening?!" moment). Molly was holding the sign and he asked her name, read it again, walked over and picked up his acoustic. What came next was a version of Janey that I will never forget, dedicated to Molly and her (grand)mom Jane...sung with beauty and empathy and care...an epic singular moment for this Jane (who has relied on Janey for more years than I can count...it is the go-to song for Janes needing to be reminded not to lose heart). Being who he is, Bruce also pulled Molly up as his Dancing in the Dark partner...more compassion for fans who have experienced a huge personal loss. It is impossible to explain just how cool it is to see Bruce dance with your kid...especially a kid that needed something good to happen in her life after so much pain. I have been to so many Bruce shows (80?), but won't ever forget this one. Bruce gave me such a gift. I figured I would post this here, because of all people, my fellow BTXers would understand just how incredible this was. Thanks for listening 80 shows...trying for 80 more!
