The Boss is back on Broadway!

[evenflow1969]

In a normal year I see likely 70 concerts.

That's a concert every 5 days and about $5,000 - $6,000 a year. I'm sure Ticketmaster must love you!

They like me. I get many of the tickets for free from qFM the classic rock station here in town.

Sounds like you could use a friend with an 11-octave flat, 3,000 watt stereo with 135dB dynamic range!
But it begs the question: who to go see from a classic rock station when nearly all the really good artists from the classic rock era are either retired, thinking of retiring, or dead now?!

Ya, my favorites for the most part are either no longer touring or are dead. The last that I saw before the world shut down was Sammy Hager. I think next on the docket Styx.

Bruce Springsteen is reviving his eponymous solo show, "Springsteen on Broadway," later this month. And to get a seat, all audience members will need to prove they're fully vaccinated, according to Jujamcyn Theaters.

bruce needs to learn the guitar instead of jus using it for a prop

Your post shows me you have never been to a Springsteen concert.

Which is too bad. I've been seeing him perform since the early 80s.

No he isn't flashy or fancy. He is pure real music. He doesn't need anything but his guitar, harmonica and voice.

That's one of the reasons why he packs stadiums wherever he goes and is known as the working man's rock and roll.

You might want to listen to the words of his songs.

He actually has something meaningful to say.

"Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place where we really wanna go"

His lyrics have meaning? Apparently not to his wife Julianne Phillips who he cheated on with a band mate. I know more than a few "fans" back then that looked at him in a different light because his lyrics did not match his lifestyle. Yea, he'll sell out his shows. But not with my money.

And besides, who would want to sit in a crowded theater with a bunch of unvaccinated MAGA hat wearing assholes?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Ironically his initials are BS........how appropriate

Other fitting initials would be MF......for Marxist ******

Or how about.......WM.....for "Wannabe Musician" ?

My first was the Born in the USA tour as you say - early 80s at Dodger Stadium.
Hated it so much, I went again the following night!

I saw that tour in 1984. The show from that tour that I saw was at the Tacoma Dome.

It was a fantastic show.

I will tell you this there is a distinct possibility that one of favorites will do some shows this year. Tommy James may do some shows and I will be there if that happens. I start my day off every morning with Dragging a Line on my 2000 watt stereo. That song is about living the right way and working hard every day. For me I literally drag a fishing line for a living so it speaks to me personally. The next song I listen to is Give me Love by George Harrison. If you listen closely that song is actually a prayer. My way of sending the big guy a prayer and I think I get some brownie points for sending it in George's voice. Lol Kinda my morning ritual. Then I either listen to Jackson Brown Something Fine or Steve Miller Mountain Honey. When I set up for my first drift fishing I always start out with Fishing in The Dark. Kinda a good luck thing. I caught me a blonde hair blue eyed girl with that years ago. That was the song playing when I met my first love .

This certainly does not come from knowledge of the guitar.

 

[NoNukes]

Below average singer with lame lyrics and beginner guitar playing skills. ...

His brilliant songs are the history of our generation.

 

[NoNukes]

I'm sure he will do a good job pretending to be an actor on Broadway.
After all, he's been faking being a singer/musician on stage for decades. ...

You obviously never saw any of his concerts in the 70s. One of the best rock n roll performers ever.

Saw Fogerty at the Rose Garden Amphtheater in Portland a few years later. Another great one to see live!

Ya, my favorites for the most part are either no longer touring or are dead. The last that I saw before the world shut down was Sammy Hager. I think next on the docket Styx.

I met Sammy Hagar before I worked with him. It was in Maui. Turned out we both love coconut shrimp from the same little old lady in a shop not far from Hana. It was 2011. He asked me why we had not worked together. I had no reason except that every time he came to town I was already committed to another job the same night. He said he would be back in my area in September and made me promise to work with him. I didn't work with him that year. I worked with him in 2013. He is very fun to work with and puts on a fantastic show.

I've worked with Styx many times going back to the early 1990s. I started seeing them perform in the late 1970s. They put on a fantastic show. Here is a shot of Tommy I took in 2008.

I saw and worked with Fogerty at the Gorge Amphitheater in George Washington in the late 90s.

Those shots were taken on film and aren't scanned or I would post some.

He played for hours. Think of any CCR or Fogerty song, he played it.

He put on a fantastic show. He actually gave me something to photograph so it was a lot of fun.

We certainly would not expect them to have any taste in rock n roll. They support Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.

That second one is Petty right? Great shot! He’s probably my biggest regret of concerts I never saw.

Don’t forget Lee Greenwood and Pat Boone. Trumpletons consider them great talents!

Saw Petty 3 times and was never impressed. I was at one of his final concerts in Hyde Park.
