Springsteen & A REAL reason to Hate TLR

Post by tothebeach08 »

So, the concert started 1.25 hours late because Bruce wouldn't start until Tony got there. The second he sat down, the concert started. People were pissed. I didn't care because I was partaking of the local beverages and making lots of new friends.

You guys like alot of obscure music, but I would think some of you people would like Springsteen, maybe not. I don't care. I had a great time, the music was beyond fantastic and the beer was good and free. I had so much fun, and he didn't even sing my favorite Bruce song. I will say, 8 beers in 3 hours makes for alot of trips to the bathroom, and tomorrow may be rough.

They don't have BLL there, but like the trooper I am, I was able to adapt.

I'm glad to hear that they were able to puree some pumpkin and baby throwup for you.

Here's the one good Springsteen song, in case anyone's interested:

Actually, I'm not going to lie. Magic was pretty good.

I fixed it. As far as your palette goes, no wonder BLL tastes great to you. I'm not going to rain on that parade.

How long was the show? Did he play new and old stuff? I really did like his latest album quite a bit, which is weird considering I don't care for too much of the earlier stuff.

He played a little over 3 hours. Not Born in the USA, Not Trapped (My favorite), but Badlands was excellent, Thunder Road was too. I'm all over the board with my musical tastes, but I do love Old Springsteen. The song writing is great, and he puts on an awesome show. I can do without politics from entertainers though.

Are you sure that's true? That's lame of the Boss.

Yes it's true. Some security guards told me, then when I went back to my seat I saw them brining Tony in to his seat. It started right after that.

Bernie posted in the Pop Off forum that it was not Tone's fault. And he said Springsteen played for three hours and twenty minutes.

Three hours and twenty minutes is insane.
