Today is Bruce's 59th b'day, will we hear from him in this set??


See "The Peak" setlist for a B-Day salute. Ginger missed an opp to make it a Grand Slam, should Dave decide to play something 'steenian.

WTF??? wrong Duran Duran track, Dave. WAAAAY wrong.

Listening as background noise. Not the best ever.

[Back from the dead]

I thought Dave was playing Chuck Mangione when I heard that trumpet at the beginning of Dire Straits, but it turns out to be Randy Brecker.

I know a lot of folks hate it, but BOS3 "Miami Vice". Odd that Dave plays this often but has never played "Axel F", one of my fave '80s instrumentals. This has been one schizophrenic set, Dave.

WOS2 or 3, Bryan Adams. Damn, I thought "Vice" was the closer.

I haven't been keeping count -- do you think Dave threw in an 11th to make up for the Duran^2 mistake?  Has he ever done that?

Hahah, 9 great tunes from '85.  But the '93 tune won BOS?  Funny - "sticky wicket"

Dave sets a record for most years off, with 8: I vividly remember "Ordinary World" hitting big in late winter 1993.  I was a sophomore in college and associate the song with meeting a bunch of new people in my residence hall amidst the melting snow.

I was listening in the car and had just pulled in to McD's for some last minute b-fast.  I called Dave right off & I believe I must have been the first of several to point this error out to him.  He claimed to have looked this up on Billboard and seen it as a 1985 entry, but promised to doublecheck.

My memory is almost equally as vivid, this was a mainstay on MTV Asia in the one year that I lived in a certain apartment (with cable included) in Taiwan.

I was waiting to see what he'd do in the back announce since I'd called him on the error.

Gotta love them Fogheads voting a 1993 song as BOS in a 1985 set.  Ha Ha!!!

I remember marveling at that pic back when the Springsteen Live box came out back in '86 or so. A great view of what he was seeing every night. Hard to imagine looking out at a crowd that size (I believe the pic is from Wembley) and knowing everyone there came to see you.

Also a little tough to believe he's going to be 60 next year. Hope I'm doing as well as he is at 60.
Let's get right to it.
