HurlyBurly51 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Saving the best for last? This is the final show of the tour, and is shaping up to be a special evening. Sort of has an "anything goes" vibe to it. It's Little Steven's birthday. Speculation is running rampant this is the last show for the East Street Band. No album has been announced for Buffalo, and we may not get one. Just a 3 hour plus set of his greatest material. Is there a head count from TSW going?
bdelma Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Why would this be the end of the E street band?
linksfiend Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I would imagine he would reschedule the cancelled Kansas City show after this one but haven't heard anything yet. Anyhow, I'll be at the HSBC show.
John Adams Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Why would this be the end of the E street band? Bruce has been saying it for a while now.

Here's the setlist from Cleveland last night: Setlist: Wrecking Ball (with Curt Ramm) Prove It All Night Hungry Heart Working on a Dream Thunder Road Tenth Avenue Freeze-out (with Curt Ramm) Night Backstreets Born to Run She's the One Meeting Across the River (with Curt Ramm) Jungleland Waitin' on a Sunny Day Raise Your Hand Red Headed Woman Pink Cadillac Back in Your Arms Radio Nowhere Lonesome Day The Rising Badlands Encore: No Surrender Bobby Jean American Land (with Curt Ramm) Dancing in the Dark Can't Help Falling in Love Higher and Higher (with Curt Ramm) Rosalita (with Curt Ramm)

Here's the setlist from Cleveland last night: Red Headed Woman Is Patti back with the band? I thought she was gone.
HurlyBurly51 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 Is Patti back with the band? I thought she was gone. She's absent more often than not, but my guess is that she'll be there for Buffalo.
John Adams Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Is Patti back with the band? I thought she was gone. In Philly at the last show at the Spectrum, some other chick played in her spot.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Is Patti back with the band? I thought she was gone. She wasn't in Charlotte. I find her annoying too. Wives and rock bands aren't a good mix. Yoko Ono anyone?
Rico Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I don't need to see Soozie's fat ass on stage either. Cindy Mizelle... meh, but OK.
bdelma Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Like Bruce and the band but what's up with everybody always wearing black!
John Adams Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Like Bruce and the band but what's up with everybody always wearing black! What the !@#$ Queer Eye? It's a GD rock band!
Rico Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 What the !@#$ Queer Eye? It's a GD rock band!Patti and Soozie do NOT rock.
bbb Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I was in Cleveland and it was as good or better than any of the 18 Boss shows I saw before that over 29 years. Can't wait for the 22nd!!
bdelma Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 What the !@#$ Queer Eye? It's a GD rock band! My point is that they always wear friggin black. You need some help!
John Adams Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 My point is that they always wear friggin black. You need some help! You're obsessing over Bruce Springsteen's shirt choices and I'm the one in need of help?
Peevo Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I read an article recently in Modern Drummer about Jay Weinberg, Max's son, now filling in for Max on Bruce's tours, with so much of Max's time being devoted to the Tonight Show. 19 years old and touring arenas and stadiums. Amazing, since I'm 22 and the most people I've played in front of was 3,000. Great read for anyone interested in that. At pushing 60, you have to respect the fact that Bruce still is slamming it out for 3 hours a night across the world. Any body would be pretty worn from 2 generations' worth of touring and recording. That said, I just never really cared about his music or his message. You're "Working on a Dream" Bruce? Really? You've sold millions of records, sold out thousands of concerts, and are one of the most successful American songwriters, EVER. I think you've accomplished said dream, buddy. Sorry, I didn't get drafted or lost my friends in Vietnam, lost my factory job from the fallacies of the Carter and Reagan administrations, or had to fight for equality amongst all races and genders. I'm simply a generation removed from all of that.

I'm simply a generation removed from all of that. The Bruce "crowd" backs you up. It's 35+, some with young kids there. It looks like church, in jeans. That said,there's somethign to appreciating the message even if you're a generation removed. I was not part of the All-about-me-60s generation but the Who's "My Generation" still resonates. With respect to Bruce's "Working on a Dream," first, you can always be doing that. Second, he dips into an ethic and group that he's long since ceased to be part of when he writes but he still pulls it off. Like a good fiction writer.
