I'm betting that song #10, which AL promises to be a "classic", will be "Born To Run."


actually she said "masterpiece" which makes me think "Jungleland"

Gotta chime in...

IMHO, the 2 masterpieces on that album are "Thunder Road" and (yes) "Born To Run".

But AL agrees with Mike.

Very true...  :-)
It's surely an epic, it's just that the songs I mentioned are 2 of my all time favorites...

Yeah, "Jungleland" is "masterpiecy", but it tries too hard, imo.  :P

a couple people here are going to see Bruce in SJ, right?  SundayGal and Wayback for sure. 

just curious: has everyone here seen Bruce Springsteen in concert before? 

I saw him only once, in ATT Park.  I think it was this show

yes -- I was at that show too. A Saturday nite. Had floor seats. pretty wonderful.

I also saw him back in '76 or '77 at the Palladium in NYC (a movie theater-turned-concert venue, 3000 seats) and again in '79 at the "No Nukes" concert @ Madison Sq Garden, where he did some new songs that ended up on The River the following year.

I've seen him 3 times.  Great shows all.  Once outside, twice inside in Oakland.  My sister was pestering me to go to this show too, but I basically don't go to San Jose for shows -- it's just too far.  And it's Tuesday, goddammit.  I'm sure it will rock, though.

nice.  I know The Palladium (14th street)  from the 80s when it was dance club. I saw Andy Warhol there once.

I saw that show, too, also in a floor seat. Pretty fine for a stadium show. That may have been the last time I've seen him, but there have been many other shows before that: both Oakland shows on the River tour in 1980, then all 4 of the BITUSA tour shows (two inside in 84, two at the ballpark in '85), the first Bridge show in '86, one of the Tunnel of Love shows at Shoreline in '88 (I think), the Amnesty show at Oakland Stadium in '89, and a few more since then that are not coming to me at the moment. Although I did see one of the shows in '99 in the run that SG mentioned. I think I'm due--if he makes it to Portland on a later leg of this tour, maybe...
