I saw Bruce last night at Met Life. 3 hours 45 minutes of non stop music, 35 song set list, just an amazing show. And I have seen more than 75. He plays again Thursday night. If anyone is even just a casual fan, grab a couple of tickets (there are plenty out there) and go see this show. I can think of worse ways to spend a summer evening.
Saw him at the Boston Garden in February, always a great show.
Yes he did! I was grabbing a beer while he was playing this and all the stadium workers were dancing and singing. Great atmosphere. Great people.
Sec 117, row 2. Good seats.
Saw a mini-doc about some of them. A girl planned her ticket purchase on the seat's location for a sign to be seen, etc...put a lot of work into the possibility of being brought onstage.
50/50 It's a strange "coincidence" how sometimes songs that are done in soundcheck, then become a sign for that show. That being said,it's almost impossible to stump the E Street Band & I have seen Bruce do songs that they had never done before.

like the sign requests are plants. Do you think they're random?

the thing is if you read the set lists I think I saw many of the same sign request songs done at multiple shows. It's possible it's coincidence that people had those same song signs at different shows, but I found it suspicious.
Plus you mention the soundcheck and I wasn't even aware of that, but it helps add suspicion.
you should be fired up. It was an excellent show. High energy, great set list and interaction with the audience. Enjoy!
Im psyched that he might go ape shit as that is the last night of a 3 night run at MetLife.

I think it's more likely that the band practices songs they think are likely to be requested and then Bruce picks those they know well enough from the many sign choices presented. It's not that they're planted, it's self-selection - fans request songs they think will get picked and Bruce picks ones they know.

Forgot they did that back in 2013. I think before that(without looking),the last time was 74-75. With Stevie & Gary,they know every band,every song that was ever recorded So that video shows the ESB "on the fly" Thanks,Milt!
