Bruce Springsteen rocks. His concerts are just so high energy and they really just give their all and rock out each and every song. I went last night to the first Giants Stadium date and although it took them until 8:40 to come on, they just went for the throat right away, ripping through one great song after another. Less than an hour in, right after they knocked through Radio Nowhere, Lonesome Day and No Surrender, I was sold. The crowd was having a blast, the seats were great (as you can see from the impressionistic cellphone photo), the rain held off and the music just soared. Even though we had to leave a little early, I got to hear all my favorites ("Baby this town rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young, `cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run") If you ever have a change to see the Boss live, jump at it - you will not be sorry.
I went to the concert with my dad who also got really into it. My dad also took me to my very first concert - the U2 Joshua Tree tour at Nassau Coliseum when I was 11. I won the tickets on the radio (95.5 WPLJ) and although we were really high up, the music was just so intoxicating that we had a blast. Sitting last night surrounded by the crowd at Giants Stadium, I thought back to that concert and was really glad we were able to have a night like that again.

It took me all these years to recover my hearing from the U2 concert. If I do not seem to hear what you are saying to me, blame it on Bruce. Rock on. I haven't felt that good since 1969. Thanks for the great Christmas present in July.
