Just saw Bruce in FL Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. I've see shows by this guy going back to 1975, But this one really stands out. Not only was it my wife's (for almost 2 years) first Springsteen show, it was the only Time I saw him without the E Street Band.
With the exception of Roy Bittan and Patti...it was a completely different lineup.
Was it better? Was it worse? Jeff Beck got so tired of Greatest Guitar players lists he said, "It ain't a fuckin sport! We're playing music here!"
It was a terrific unforgetable night. Thanks Bruce and Jeff, RSVP

I went to this show to interview the warm up act: Bob Seger.
I grew up in Michigan, just a bike ride from the Hideout where I saw Bob and many other local Detroit rockers.
Our interview went on until the Guess Who started. Bob suggested I get out there and check them out. I dismissed the suggestion calling them a "singles band" .....Bob told me the were much better than that and encouraged me to check them out.

Damn if he wasn't right. What a great band. Burton Cumming nailed the vocals and they were tight as a snare drum.....Saw Bob at a show at GVSC about a year later....."I told you so" was the theme of that visit
