Springsteen was amazing!

The Springsteen show was amazing. I had to resign myself to the fact that I wasn't going to hear all my favorite songs, but knew I was going to love the show. When Bruce and the Gang entered the stage they set the crowd into a frenzy, as the antipicipation had been building the last hour for the show to start. I was in a constant state of bliss throughout the concert, needing to pinch myself that I was actually at the concert.

The concert had many personal highlights and the energy that Bruce and the band gave was contagious. As I write this I know any description of the concert does not compare to being at the show, it is amazing how much energy Bruce gives out at such an old age. I would say my favorite song was Waiting on a Sunny Day, The Rising, and Born to Run. During Waiting on a Sunny Day, Bruce was all over the stage and since it is one of Trisha's favorite songs I was happy that he played it. The Rising is filled with so many memories of what happened after 9/11 and how to be hopeful in a time of despair. I vividly remember listen to that song over and over again during my time working for Celebrity Cruises that time was a time of change in my life. Born to Run is definitely the quintessential Bruce Springsteen song and the song most people know so the arena was vibrating and all of us were sing along.

I am still feel the energy of going to see Bruce, definitely worth the many hours on the road.

did he do a lot of his older stuff.. I love his older stuff like "dancing in the dark, born in the USA" etc.. or was it a real mixture of new and old?

Hey Brandy...

He did a mix of old and new stuff, a lot from his new album with lots of classics.
