- Start date
OK, not exactly ruins, but the experience for those that like their lungs is ruined. Have been rather disgusted in our last 2 or 3 visits. Every visit was:
It’s overpowering I gotta admit, though I’m so used to it I don’t give it a second thought now. And that says a lot
All remaining September shows have been cancelled as Bruce is being treated for a peptic ulcer. As I said in the other thread, while the recent shows were great, something was definitely lacking. No engagement with the crowd. Just getting through the set. I'm guessing the health issues started prior to the cancelled Philly shows, but he wanted to do the Jersey shows and pushed himself too much.
I was there also. I could only hope to be running on empty at 74 like that.
Thanks for sharing.. It’s no “The Wrestler” which I thought was special, but maybe it’ll grow on me..
It sounds familiar to some other duet he did with Patti, but I can't determine which song. To me, it's OK- not great, not bad.
This past Saturday I was at Monmouth University for a symposium on the making of The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle at the Springsteen Archives. Bruce made an appearance and spoke for over an hour, along with several band members from that time.

There were also several performances of the album’s songs by local musicians, along with members of the ESB. The highlight for me was this version of New York City Serenade, with a beautiful piano intro from former ESB keyboardist David Sancious, vocals by Pat Guadagno, Richie Blackwell on congas (local Freehold guy who played on the album and toured with the band at the time), and former ESB drummer Vinnie Lopez.
