Absolutely terrific. Came out and rocked harder with Crazy Horse as 65 year olds than most new bands do. Played a few classics and about half of his new record, Ramada Inn, Walk Like A Giant and Twisted Road were all phenomenal pieces of music, I'm not sure I've seen many concerts where something as mesmerising as Ramada Inn live happens.. He had three songs that went for 20 minutes + each. Got Heart of Gold which has been somewhat of a rarity on the Alchemy Tour. Also got an ultra rare live song in Opera Singer - hasn't played it since 2001 or so and he hasn't played it much ever, something like his 88th most played song ever. Like U2 playing Boy/Girl or Van Dieman's Land or something! Overall a fantastic show, a lot of up and coming rock bands could learn a thing or two from those four incredible musicians.

Still the Boss

Well, here are the reasons why New Jersey's second-most famous son is worth talking about (and you need a ticket).

wondering who is the first most famous son of New Jersey then... hehe

Sydney, population 4.6 million, has to be Australia's least well attended concert city by head of population. Bruce's second and third shows there haven't yet sold out.. This happens quite often with bands that do multiple nights there. The bands always put on two or three shows there, when in reality if they wanted 100% of tickets sold they should do the extra nights in Brisbane with only 2.1 million.. There's been a number of articles and things on the radio about it lately, people here just go to so many more concerts and sporting events per head of population than anywhere else in Au.

I had a rack of albums, an appreciation for his work and enjoyed watching the odd live DVD.
But I didn't know Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Because I'd never seen them live.

(from a today article of BrisbaneTimes

there's who knows him and who saw him live
