And, if any one could share the actual start time of the show, that would be swell.  Thanks.

No Born in the USA? Oh hell no-he has to play it on Veterans Day in DC while we're at war. At least now I know what to say to him.

8:25-10:40 by my watch.

I was told 8:20 was the standard start time.  I didn't check my watch for the exact time, but renton007's assessment sounds about right.  The time just flew by.
 
 I thought the show was great, though I personally could have used a few more hits.  The BruceHeads around me seemed to think it was a good, but not great show. "Somewhere in the middle" is what one guy told me.  He also said night #2 in each city is usually better.  Still...It was a really, really fun time.

I got there at 2:00 yesterday and there were a little over 100 people in line already.   I think they gave out at least 1000 wristbands for the lottery.  400 people get in the pit.  I was one of the lucky 400.

congrats!  hoping for similar luck tonight!

Wrist band # 821 was the one chosen in the lottery last night...my friend and I had 851 and 852 so we were right up front to the left of bruce in front of Nils and Clarence.  Great show.  Fairly similar setlist...but a few played tonight not played last night:
 
 Ties that Bind, Thunder Road, Jackson Caye, maybe a few more.  No "Growing up" during encore which would have been great.  No "Night" during the main set.
 
 Great great show though, and being right up front really made it feel like I was seeing the band at 9:30.

Did either night get Thundercrack?

That's great.  Congratulations!

yup, bombay chutney's luck rubbed off on me, too      it was a surreal experience.  thanks to those who posted info about the lottery.
 
 i've seen many concerts, wizards games (including playoffs), etc at the verizon center.  never has the place been so packed (til the end) and SO alive.  it was the most enthusiasm i've ever felt from a DC crowd regardless of venue or event.

You must have been right next to my brother, his wife and son (wearing red Terps hat).  They had wristbands in the 860's and the planted themselves on the rail by Nils.   Great show and the best I think I have seen of a usually lame DC crowd.  Loved Jackson Cage and Backstreets.

Bruce put on a fantastic show.  I never thought I would say that about someone who didn't play a lot of his hits. At the end of the show he gave his harmonica to the most adorable kid whose father was injured in Iraq. He was very personable and generous.
