I attended Springsteen concert Sat night in San Jose. See summary, photos, setlists at www.backstreets.com/setlists.html
I was there too, as was Rich (Yessongs).  A good show, with some pretty good rarities, most notably "Incident on 57th Street."

Thanks for the link...
I was at the show also and thought it was great.  For me, the highlight of the night was the "duet" between Bruce and Clarence on "Fire" -- absolutely hilarious, especially the looooooooooong pause after "Your kisses they burn, but your heart stays cool".  They really milked the moment for all it was worth (and it was worth a lot).
Now I'm eight bits...

Uh, yeah, I saw you too.  You're the guy with grey hair, right?  ;)

Yes, a highlight for me as well (and the Detroit Medley).  Did you catch that photo on the Backstreets link?  Just like the ol' days!

Hair??  I was the guy he pulled onstage!
Actually I was the guy in the black concert T, waving, dancing and yelling BRUUUCE! (does that narrow it for you?)  ;)

I was at the dentist, but obviously the set wasn't doing anything for anybody.  Heard "Let's Go Crazy" as I parked the car 5 minutes late.

Well, I know Gaz is on the road, but no urth or mshray today either. Don't think I missed an unmissable '84 set there -- and the bonus is by someone played within the set? sheesh (yeah, Bruce was in town, but still...)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

That's something Annalisa would never do, but it was Rosalie sittin' in today.

I'd say that was clearly an above average '84 set, but not unmissable.

Well, we both know how persnickerty I am about these things ;)  The Scorpions was actually a bustout per the db, so kudos to Dave on that, and the Yes and Huey relative rarities, but everything else is pretty well-travelled. Good stuff, just overly-familiar.
