I believe in the promised land...

I just got back from seeing bruce w. the e street band @ the garden & I'm a fan all over again. I never stopped liking bruce. I also haven;t seen them play since the 'born in the usa' tour.

everyone knows that the e street band is a great live band. what really struck me was that there was never a moment when I made any concessions for them being old. they were awesome. bruce's voice, energy, & delivery give me hope. I can only hope I have that much stamina when I'm his age. and the band totally delivered - song after song. there was never a dull moment. the new songs were even some of the high points in the show.

springsteen fans are awesome. there is a deep knowledge of lyrics, that goes beyond memorizing words. not only were they there for all of the staple anthems (ie. 'badlands', 'jungleland', etc.), but also the new tracks ('radio nowhere'), & really deep tracks ('thundercrack').

to put it mildly, I was blown away. if you can find a ticket, go.
