Okay, let's talk about this puppy.  I actually really dig it.  i was not feeling Radio Nowhere when it first came out, but now I can't get it out of my head.  I think there are some weak spots (I think Girls In Their Summer Clothes is particularly egregious) and the production, once again, like the Rising, isn't to my tastes, but overall, solid effort.  I'm seeing him here in Philly tomorrow night, should be fantastic.

I found this online a few weeks ago and have been listening to it more than I thought I would. After what seems like 10 or so years of experimenting with different sounds and genres, this seems like a "Bruce" album with the big choruses, sax solos, and man-on-the-street lyrics. The more I listen to it, the more I'd like to see the show, but I missed out on tix.

Anyone think there is a chance for more floor seats being released closer to show date?

I wouldn't be surprised at all.  Just keep checking as often as you can.

I'd definitely keep checking, they normally drop  a lot of really good seats when it gets closer to show time.

The flow was a litle off last night, energywise.  He would get the crowd up and crazy and then just kill it.  It was weird.  I think the band just needs to get back in the swing of things.  He left out Patti's song from her new album, which he's been playing, THANK GOD.  He's a lot less angry, a lot less preachy.  Not the best I've seen him but still a better show than almost any other band in the country could put on. Highlights: Badlands, Candy's Room, Brilliant Disguise, Thundercrack. . .
 
 Logistically, the ticket situation was a nightmare.  For GA Floor there is a complicated wristband situation that began at two in the afternoon. . People were at each throats over places in line, several fights almost broke out.  America at its finest.
