The show in Rochester last week was the best I've ever been to. Have fun.

Looked awesome. It sold out in a second.
Baltimore's venue is small like Rochester. On the floor, should be great

Rochester isn't that far for you to go. Look what I do for FB and BB. :noidea:
It's ok to venture outside the Syracuse city limits once in a while you know.

Yeah. I wanted to buy 4 tickets but immediately bought a pair in different locations off two computers. I was sweating bullets.

I'm hoping he comes to the new amphitheater on the last leg of the trip. He did that when he played Vernon Downs the last tour.

You want other pics, Bees? You've got it. If you'd like, I can take a picture of my wrist bands as well.

The wrist band on the left put me on the floor. After #285 was called, the wrist band on the right put me in the front row. I figured you're just busting my chops, but I figured I'd back it up just in case you weren't!

Closest I've ever been is 6th row of MSG at the opening show of the 10 show run in 2000 (Reunion Tour). There was no pit.
I've been in the pit before, but never that close. Not worth the crowding (at least to me). Almost that close for a couple of the Christmas shows in Asbury Park. Hope you had a great time, SUFaninNJ!

Just saw him Thursday. It was a great set. The acoustics left something to be desired (it was just too loud and had a reverb). Was hoping for Jungleland or Racing (we got an unreal Incident last time around) but to no avail. We did get a 34 freaking song set...including Glory Days (by request)...which I never heard live. Thought Thunder Road was fantastic. I think our non-river set was probably as good as it's been. Badlands, no surrender, because the night, candys room (a first for me), Rosie...all in all a great great night.
I came around a little after the River...but lots of stuff to like there. The remixes of Meet me in the city, the ties that bind are great. The river was great. But a new favorite on my list... Independence Day...wow.

I'm so damn jealous. Will be honest though...the floor doesn't look that fun...You want other pics, Bees? You've got it. If you'd like, I can take a picture of my wrist bands as well.

Don't want to make anyone jealous, it's just not my style (he lied).
But the first time I saw Bruce was (I'm not making this up) in the cafeteria at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. My sister went to school there. It was the original E-Street Band, with David Sancious playing piano instead of the Professor. 3-plus hours of amazing. The first two albums had been released, but 'Born to Run' was involved in lawsuits. In fact, he played some songs from 'Born to Run', but some of them had different lyrics than what ended up on the album two years later. Both Thunder Road and She's the One had different lyrics. You can imagine how amazing Jungleland was, since we hadn't heard it before. In my top 5 concerts of all time. My all-time fave concert in Syracuse? The Band at the War Memorial in, I think, 1971.

There are audio takes on YouTube of a whole bunch of Bruce early songs dubbed with different lyrics and some with different melodies.

It's a touch balance to stay hydrated, yet not have to go to the bathroom. Considering I was standing pretty much all day, and in that spot a good 3 hours before Bruce took the stage, I could've used a seat after awhile.

When I was at SU in the mid 70's (around 74) I had a couple of fellow students from NJ tell me...you've got to see this guy perform. I had never heard of him.
They said he was amazing and eventually he'd be a big star.
Prescient.
