Bruce is great.. just not my bag... I don't know why that is.. If you did a check-off list of all the things I like in music he sure would get a lot of checks... <snip>

this pretty much sums me up as well..... I recognize he's talented, people love him and he goes all out in concert...... but for some reason, the (E Street Band) music just doesn't resonate with me...... I've heard a couple of recordings from his solo acoustic tours, that would be something I'd like to go see....

I have a few of those acoustic show bootlegs and I listen to those far more than any of his albums.

Saw him at Verizon in 99. Might've been the last time I ever called Ticketbastard to get seats. Not the biggest fan but that was a spectacular show.

Bagley harassed me for texting him the show announcement a few minutes after Vas Def posted it here.

Excited for this show. Happy its on a weekend night.

curious about the cost of tix for Bruce, I went to the Ticketmaster page and started checking for cities already listed there.... DC isn't on there yet....  the price range on the upper side is either $150 or $155, I'd assume that's floor and lower bowl....  $55 is the lowest in a number of cities, but some places it's higher, $67 for Boston, Rochester $68 and $73 at MSG.... for upper bowl I'm guessing... or maybe just the worst seats in the upper bowl.....  didn't check them all but that looks to be what people can expect to pay here....

I could be wrong, but I believe he generally does GA pit at a low price and the lower bowl are the high priced tickets.  I think U2 and Springsteen are on the same page with that low cost for GA.

I was hoping for something in the $30 range.

After all, back in 1977 you could get a Springstein ticket for a mere $7.50, which is about $30 today when you adjust for inflation.

now that you point that out, I think you might be right, that's def how U2 does it..... I think Bruce used to price every seat in the arena the same price no matter where you were but obviously he's not doing that this time..... I went to 2 shows in 2009, Austin (visiting friends who were going) and then Baltimore.... my Baltimore floor ticket was $98 while my lower bowl Austin ticket was $89.....  wouldn't have minded seeing that Springstein cat for $7.50 though!!!

If you were willing to settle for Balcony, tickets to that 1977 show would have set you back $5.50. I probably would have treated myself to the higher priced ticket.

The Springsteen show I would have enjoyed most was an early one at College Park with Bruce and the band, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry (backed by Bruce and the E Street Band)


If you've ever watched Hail Hail Rock and Roll Bruce talks about playing behind Chuck..very very funny...

I was browsing the Fillmore show calendar and saw this one:

OCTOBER 28, 2017 - Cafe Tacvba

Can that be right?  Oct 2017 show listed in Dec 2015?
