I finally got a chance to sit down & listen to the Seattle River show properly. It certainly reaffirms my belief that it was a very good night for the Boss. Bruce, E Street & the crowd were firing on all cylinders & feeding off each other. It was a magical night for me that I really didn't think I was going to get off Bruce anymore. It was like going back to the 1980 River tour. Very cool that Bruce is making all the shows available. The sound is stellar both on the rockier stuff & the quiet stuff. Its clear that Bruce & band were enjoying this show. Very loose while not losing integrity. The Eddie Vedder cameo is pretty good. We get a lot of that in Seattle. For awhile it seemed he was either at the show or coming out & playing every show my friend & I went to. To the point where we started playing "where's Eddie", haha. A few examples, Neil Finn for several songs & Guided by Voices. Sometimes its good, sometimes not so much. Broke the streak at McCartney but we got Krist Novoselic at that one. Back to Bruce, I would recommend this one if you are looking to get 1 show with the entire River. From what I've read from the Bruce heads the consensus is this one & night 3 LA were 2 of the best shows. I go back to the Darkness tour with Bruce but kind of lost some interest when he got hugely popular. Started to become too ritualized & too many obnoxious fans. This show reaffirmed my feeling back in high school. I'm glad I went & if that's it for me going to Bruce shows, I'm good with it. A very high note. I'm kind of that way with the last Stones show I saw with Mick Taylor. If they come to town, I'll go but the expectations are lower. I'm sorry our European friends won't get the whole River. It was special. I hope you at least get plenty of songs from the album still.

The Backstreets message board makes this place looks like tea with the Queen, they bitch and moan so much about the setlist it's insane. A bunch a spoiled babies over there!

No "Drive All Night". That was a highlight for me in March. Transcendent.

Manchester last night he played santa claus is coming to town. He spotted a fan dresssed as santa in the crowd, got him up on stage and played the whole song.
A great mix of tracks from born to run, darkness, born in the usa and of course the river. The rain never stopped but nor did the dancing. Go see him if you get the chance.
