He didn't play River but considering the other numbers thats OK

I saw him on the "Born in the USA" tour... at the Rosemont Theatre in Chicago ....no idea what year it was...

I do remember however...that it was a fantastic evening... even tho there was so much smoke in the air that you could barely see him. I think the Rosemont went No Smoking after that concert.

Hail to Subsim's original female member! Long time.

You've gone and scared her off...I'm off to Skype now

Wait,what,,,,was that Shargie?

Im still impressed with his ability to make 40.000 people sing and at the same time turn a stadium into a intimate concert.

He still connects with the crowd in an amazing way and goes down to touch, sing and drink with them.
He took a huge glass of beer of one in the crowd and downed it...what a show.

I dont see any of the newer names in pop or rock connect that way with the fans. It all seems to be a show and a "im up here and you are down there" feeling.

As a Jersey boy, who came up in the same area Bruce did, it warms my heart to see people from all over that apprecaite his music.
He worked hard for his fame, and when he became a legend he never forgot his home, and the fine people of NJ who boosted him. He always did right by us.

Bruce is a portal into my childhood, I always loved his music.

I got to see him in concert a few times, and he rocked the house.

I am a heavy metal kinda guy at heart, but Bruce killed!

He can play the crowd well, and puts on a hell of a show.

RIP Clarence, you made the band.

No one else could make a sax solo cool...You had to see it live to appreciate it.

(edit: one of Bruces bandmates is Steve Van Zandt, who plays a major role in the Sopranos, as Silvio.)

The guy surrounded himself with talent

and I agree with Neal...stick to the singing, no politics pleeeeease. tyvm
