Okay, I know you are wondering why I wrote about waiting in line to go to the concert, but not anything about the concert. Soo.... it was honestly amazing. Well, I sort of hate that word since Katie Holmes highjacked it. But, I loved it. What can I say? He played for over three hours, which reminded me of this old bit from the short-lived Ben Stiller show.
Seriously! Three + hours! Twenty-six songs! Some of the things I've read online were people complaining that he sang *only* 26 songs when he did 30 the previous night. Here's the set list:
Out on the Streets

One of the benefits of paying a scalper a 
boatload of money to sit in a good seat (which I would never do) is that you can bring a sign and Bruce will come down and collect it. Then, if you have written the name of a song on it, he will sing that song. That is how it happened that he sang "Held up without a Gun" which is about high gas prices (written in 1980 and he said he has only played this song twice before), "Sherry Darling", and "Saint in the City" (one of my favorites). The highlights for me were:

The highlights for me were:(1) Thunder Road, which always brings memories of my sister and me on a road trip, (2) Because the Night, (3) The Rising (a surprise, since it's not one of my favorites), (4) Badlands, (5) Drive all Night, a song I didn't know, (6) Saint in the City, and, of course, (7) Born to Run. Here's a link to a few of the songs, but does not include any of those songs, unfortunately. It was such a great night. The only way it would have been better is if I had been with Jill. Maybe next tour! (and yes, I'm going again tomorrow night.)

that video from Ben Stiller was hysterical and so right on since I saw for myself that Bruce is the hardest working man in show business and now I know why they call him the BOSS!
