The Boss show #2

This was the last show of The River tour.  Our seats were not as good as the last show we went to in January, but it didn't take away much from the enjoyment of the show.  These pictures are terrible, though.  If you are interested in better pictures, click here.  

The set list was similar to the last show.  The River in it's entirety (it's a double album, so it's pretty long:.  Then another hour of the hits.  He also played "Purple Rain" as a Prince tribute.  As you may know, he sometimes takes requests from the audience as people hold up signs.  He goes through and gathers them and then decides what to play.  He chose two requests -- one I didn't know, and Shauna told me it was some old blues song.  The other I did know, but it was pretty obscure from the 18 Tracks CD.  Then he called a girl up on stage who had a sign that said that she knew all the words to "Blinded by the Light."  He said, "Are you sure?"  And then called her up on stage.  He looked  on patiently as she made her way through the song.  Chris Christie was apparently there, and in better seats than us.
