Bruuuuuuuuuuce

Got a last-minute invite from Ann to go to see Springsteen at the Boston "Gah-den" last night.

Spend time with Ann AND Bruce? Of course I said, Hell yeah!


This was my second time seeing Bruce and, just like the last time, he was on fire and absolutely tireless. 3 hours. Unstoppable. E Street band in rare form.

Highlights included...

Springsteen invited Dropkick Murphys guitarist Tim Brennan onstage with his girlfriend. Brennan goes down on bended knee and proposes to girlfriend. She says yes. Then Brennan joins the band to perform what will apparently be the couple's wedding song, "So Young and in Love." Then all the Murphys join for another song.


A fan holding up a sign requests RAMONES I Wanna Be Sedated - and they play it!

Wife Patty was not there - bummer - they are amazing together.

Drummer Max Weinberg's son Jay sat in and played drums on a few songs - he did great.

Bruce only played 3 songs off his new album...here's a set list you'd find in your dreams:

1. Badlands
2. Candy's Room
3. Outlaw Pete
4. She's The One - My all time fav

14. The Promised Land
15. Jungleland
16. Kingdom of Days
17. Radio Nowhere
18. Lonesome Day
19. The Rising
