 I finally saw Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band live last night and my life has rocked so much harder. I love Bruce Springsteen, and this love isn't just any kind of love, it's this unbelievable adoration and incredible pride for everything he stands for. I really think everything in life somehow relates back to a Springsteen song. Understand that I grew up in Jersey and he was one of the bigger sounds I grew up listening to. 'Cause, I guess, it's a Jersey thing. (Sidenote: if you haven't wondered or guessed, the titles of my subpages, including the main one, are lyrics from Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.) This is what they played, and for serious, I couldn't have asked for a better set list. They played Born to Run in its entirety, and I was beyond. (By the way, small digression, but this particular version of "Thunder Road" is so boss.) He ended with "Twist & Shout," which was so fun. This man (THIS MAN) is 60 years old, and holy moly, he is still running and jumping around, crowd surfing, and pretty much playing 4 hour concerts straight. Now that is what I call longevity. And, I don't know if anyone else notices, but he is really goofy and funny. He has that sense of humor, and I think he's hilarious. My point: he's made of awesome. I loved the crowd and atmosphere; everyone was all "Bruuuuuuuce!" Besides the crowd surfing and preaching (when Bruce preaches, it's amazing), one my favorite moments of the night was during Waitin' on a Sunny Day. He went out to the crowd and held his microphone up to this little 4 or 5 year old boy, who was in his dad's arms, and the little boy sang the chorus! This little boy knew the lyrics to "Waitin' on a Sunny Day"! And the crowd went absolutely wild. My mouth dropped open. I was so impressed and happy and proud and everything all at once, you have no idea. Because the dad, high five to him, is raising his little boy right. |
