For those of you complaining about Bruce being slowers, guys, the man is 73 years old. My mom is walking with a cane at 72. What are you expecting, Bruce to move like he was 32?
If he is going to charge the prices he is and play arenas with an 18-piece band, I don't want to hear any excuses when Mick & the boys are nearing 80 and move like they did when they were in their 50s. Bruce Is trying, but most of the band looks bored as hell. Sorry, but his age is showing...BADLY!
Would love to make the drive to see him in Portland, but aftermarket tickets are $500 and up...pretty crazy. Even $900 for behind he stage. Have seen him 6 times, so won't be a 7th for a while.
@@shawnfriedenberger6958 wrong, there are plenty of tickets for the $300 range, got my pit ticket for just a few $ over that. Hell, there are show with tickets under $150 still available.
@@clueless9245 Correction, Springsteen really did do a Super Bowl Halftime Show. It was in 2009. This was one of those songs that night, along with Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, Working on a Dream, and a football-tinged Glory Days.
Patti was in Tampa and Hollywood, Florida. Missed shows in Atlanta, Orlando and Dallas. Little Steven out with covid at the Dallas show. Soozie out with covid at the Hollywood, Florida and Dallas shows. Hope Bruce and the rest of the band can make it through without getting sick.
After watching videos of the last 3 shows, I am certain this is not Bruce, it's an imposter! The lack of audience contact really makes this a very different show. It's just not the same without the close engagement with the audience. Kinda sad to see.
What are you talking about peanut? He let the crowd strum the guitar as usual on this song at previous shows and walks through the crowd in 10th avenue. You want a 73yo to crowd surf?
@@williamalford4248 good for you. I've been to a bunch also. Soooo many people conplaining and expect things to be how they were! The last show with the band was 6 years ago for a start. They're not young. Things change, time moves on
I went to opening night and was disappointed. Felt like a nearing end of tour show. Been to those and enjoyed them, but this one not as much. Did get Brilliant Disguise though. First 5-8 songs felt great. Then everything felt rushed. The encore was over quickly. Guess hoped for more selection of songs, but Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town will always lead the show. Damn fine albums. Darkness is in my Top 3 favorite albums, mind you. 10 songs from those 2 albums (I include Because the Night). Leave me She's the One and others could be replaced by more Letters to You. Rainmaker being first choice! Even the band introduction felt rushed. It was over before I realized it began! 2 covers and they were not Jersey Girl or Trapped? At least 1 of them? OK I would pick Trapoed. The playing was awesome. Loved that other percussion instrument. Singing outstanding. But...
Obviously you were not there. I was at the Atlanta show on Friday and trust me, bringing the house lights up for part of the show was a great idea. Really provided insight into just how much energy filled the room!
Er, touring always brings in the money. And whole I was disappointed in ticket prices and the show, he still deserves it. Whether it Springsteen or someone else, the price is what people are willing to pay. Like many thing lower middle class is being priced out of existence. Oh sure, they will tell you there are tickets available for $20 - $30, but calculate for family if 4. Drinks at least given couple hours there. My friend bought water, but last I bought coke / water was $8 per. I would say stay home and watch sporting events, but those cost an arm and a leg as well. Honestly, I do not know how parents afford anything. I do not count running up credit card bills as affording anything. Now I know times are different, but seriously. In 1991 I sold a hockey card for $75. That put groceries on the table for a week. Now I would be surprised for 2 days.
Tell me you've never been to a Bruce concert without telling me you've never been to a Bruce concert. He always has the house lights turned up during BTR.
That guy with the hat in the front row after the 1, 2, 3, 4. Amazing.
Wow i hope he comes back to Australia
Wow not every day you get to see an eighteen strong band (19 when Patti is there). What a sound!
Why isn't she there?
For those of you complaining about Bruce being slowers, guys, the man is 73 years old. My mom is walking with a cane at 72.
What are you expecting, Bruce to move like he was 32?
Mick Jagger is 79 and kicks ass.
At 73 he moves better than me at 32.
Glad to see the back bend gone. Wondered when his back would catch up to him.

@@clueless9245 THANKS AND RESPECT FOR THIS LONG LONG ROAD - WE LOVE YOU BRUCE & ESB
@@rokelly1 shaking.
So if the band looks bored, then how is that Bruce's fault?
Ci vediamo a ROMA !!!!! l ITALIA TI AMA
e vai! 🙂

Oh my. Scared to know how much floor seats went since asking price per ticket was me a very nice vacation and 3k in my pocket!
😂😂 turn your brain on. You just said it yourself. "Aftermarket" don't know what you people expect
@@clueless9245, I have a pit ticket in Portland for under $400.
I’m not paying $300 or probably even a lot more for any concert, but of course they’re fantastic. I love his writing & the performance.
Closer to $3000 bud.

Just to really get into his original band
Did not even know he was in town.
Sounded much better in 1978
Hold on a second. You are reporting that Bruce sounded better when he was 28 than when he is 73???
STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!
….this should be the Super Bowl halftime…..
May not seem long enough, but definitely too long for that!

@@jnadle1
And Born to Run.
All were chopped to fit in the amount of time. :(
Yeah, then Bruce could charge more..
@@bugsymalone5744
Not sure what that means in relation to thread.
Yes. He could charge more.
no patti?
She was at opening night and cuddled up to the mic with Bruce. Always love Brilliant Dusguise with her.
Patti was in Tampa and Hollywood, Florida. Missed shows in Atlanta, Orlando and Dallas. Little Steven out with covid at the Dallas show. Soozie out with covid at the Hollywood, Florida and Dallas shows.

@@clueless9245 Thanks for all the info! I've only had Trapped at 1 of the 11 shows I've seen in the past 30 years.
Ahhhhh. The anti capitalism capitalist.
You should stop doing this. You posted a video with crummy audio. It misrepresents Bruce, his band, and the whole production crew. Please stop.
I guess you have a point here. The official audio sounds excellent. But people will never stop posting videos
Why the f*+k you watching then. Record your own video.
Too much.
Too much light.
Too many people on stage.
Obviously you were not there. I was at the Atlanta show on Friday and trust me, bringing the house lights up for part of the show was a great idea. Really provided insight into just how much energy filled the room!
Blinded by the light?
@@williamalford4248 lol.
Just my opinion but rock shows should have a mysterious dark stage.
@@williamalford4248 🤣🤣🤣
@@ltjjenkins You realize that 90% of the concert is in the dark right? Jesus all people do is complain it's actually insane.

What's the deal with them keeping the arena lights on during his performance?

@@kevinhayes6670 Ah. I attended one of the Lincoln Financial Field gigs in 2003. Tis a distant memory at this point.
Lights are always up during the encores.
