OT: Sea Hear Now

LeapinLou said:
1. Tried very hard but couldn't get through to get tickets when they went on sale.
2. Shortly thereafter, a friend reaches out and says lets charter a boat. I recalled how there were dozens of boats out there last year and all seemed to be having fun.
3. I plunk down $260 (includes food) for my wife and I to go on the boat.
4. Sunday comes and the wind is blowing from the northeast (bad for sound) and their is a rip current alert. We get on the boat.
5. As soon as the boat leave the Manasquan inlet, people start getting sick. By the time we're anchored in Asbury Park, 20 out of 30 people aren't feeling well.
6. Kool and the Gang is on the stage. At times, the sound is good, at others you can't hear them.
7. We can't hear a sound from the other sand stage.
8. By now about 10 people are throwing up and two are lying down in the cabin unable to stand up.
9. In the middle of Kitty's Back, we decide "OK we saw Bruce" and get out of there.
10. I was in bed at 9:30.
11. This morning I saw the set list and wanted to cry that I missed it.
12. As I type this, I'm still having random but mild dizzy spells.

Other than that, it was great!

WTF with all the people getting sick?

Heavy doses of motion sickness and libations.

Not for nothing, but if you know you’re gonna ruin everyone else’s day then don’t get on the freaking boat, or at least bring some motion sickness pills with you and don’t drink. I would’ve lost my ****ing mind if I were Lou or anyone else not dealing with those issues.

Don’t know where he gets the energy. Was there with a buddy that has seen him over 100 times and he said it was one of his best and most memorable performances.

Obviously the venue couldn’t have been topped.

Live from Asbury park!!!

The Darkness tour was THE tour. No other tour comes close. It was Bruce and the band at their finest.

On a message board where everything seems to be an argument it’s nice to see the overwhelmingly positive response to the show. I couldn’t sleep Sunday night. I was too pumped up and am still processing the beauty of the show. It was a mutual love fest between bruce and the local fans who helped propel his career. It felt like everyone knew it. I can’t imagine what it must’ve felt like for him to come home to Asbury, a place he described as one with No one there. He put it all out there for the Jersey shore Sunday night and it was impossible not to feel the boundless energy. Additionally , we knew patty had to make an appearance. Singing tougher than the rest after making her diagnosis public was tear inducing. My kid was in a puddle. I’m so thankful to have been witness to it
