un-fucking-believable. there's no other performer around today, or ever IMO, that has ever been around that can top springsteen. he played for 3 and a half hours with no more than a 30 second break maybe 3 or 4 different times throughout the set, otherwise all the songs segued together. the crowd was pretty dead up until the encore, but bruce gave us everything he possible had in him anyway. after spirit in the night he collected about 12 different song request signs from the crowd and set them by the drum kit on stage and then proceeded throughout the set to play the requests when he so felt. i will never forgot before mountain of love bruce teaching little steve the chords. this has to be terrible rambling, but it's hard to put into words what i saw last night. jungleland was the most moving experience of my entire life.

Man, I really have to see them live... I didn't even know they were touring.

I'd be upset to not hear Incident on 57th Street though... one of my favorites.

i was floored. it blew my mind to see a 59 year old man run and jump his ass off non-stop for that long.
