Hey, We Made Some History with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band!!

Just a little piece of last night's four-hour show was this gem from Brooooooooooce and company. His original drummer, Mad Dog, returned for The E Street Shuffle and a few other gems. Oh, what a night! It was full of highlights, as we shared space with Bruce, Max, Little Steven and the all other musicians, each brilliant in his or her own right. We loved his frequent descent from the stage, to mingle with fans... once even being crowd-surfed back to the stage, singing all the way and never missing a beat. Wow... talk about trust! 

 So sad to miss Clarence Clemons, but what a treat to see the loyal fan base welcome his nephew, mega-talented Jake, to his first tour. Without ever mentioning Clarence's name, Bruce brought his spirit to the stadium in a touching tribute that honored The Big Man and grounded fans.

Joe is stingy with his "tens"... but the top rating rolled off his tongue, at the end of the evening. We were mesmerized, exhilarated and a tad exhausted :-) from rocking out, non-stop. My only regret? Why did it take us so long to see them live? We can't wait for a rerun...

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band... in a class of their own. Happy 63rd Birthday to this megastar whose smile is the most infectious I've ever seen... four hours wide and long.

Now, excuse me, please... I'm searching for tickets! I love rock 'n' roll music, and...
nobody does it better... right to the Twist And Shout finale and fireworks.
