Actually it was both glastonbury and hyde park 2009. Bruce joined gaslight anthem for 59 sound both afternoons and brian turned up for no surrender both nights in bruce's sets.
My dad brought up a good point. He's more likely to play Downbound Train than 59 Sound, but Backstreets trumps everything. He's a wise, wise man.
Backstreets is my favorite Springsteen song. I have been to seven concerts and still have not heard it played. Ugh. One more chance next Tuesday in Rochester but after that I do not have any more Springsteen shows on the agenda.
Well, here's what I got, can't say I am at all disappointed. Damn...

3 Epics in there with Lost in the Flood, Backstreets (without my sign even having to be used ) and Jungleland all being played. Give the Girl A Kiss (according to my dad) hasn't been played since maybe 1999. 2 kids sang Waitin' with the most southern accents of all time (Sounded more like waaAAin hahaha) and the show lasted 2 hours 58 minutes. What. A. Night. Seaside Bar Song was a treat as well, one of my favorites from Tracks.
what was shackled like as an opener when you are there - on paper it looks a bit of an odd choice. I think you got the best set list since this part of the tour started up.
wonder if he's aiming for the straight 200 different songs by christmas?
god forbid if you came here and told you are disappointed hehe .. that's a damn good set! ... i prefer the start in Ottawa (listening right now) but yeah the oddness some points to it.
it should be 17 songs to the 200 in 16 concerts(?) .. it can be done
Shackled was alright as an opener...they had the lights off up until after they sang the chorus. Wasn't the opener I was looking for, but it did ok, it's been stuck in my head all morning. Would of much rather had My Love Will Not Let You Down.
Also, Bruce didn't just crowd surf during Hungry Heart, he crowd surfed from about halfway down the arena back to the stage....there were some points where it looked like they may have almost dropped him too haha
