Heading out to case the promise land

I really have to go to bed, on account of the ungodly hour I must get up at in the morning, but OMG, OMG, BRUCE! I think that might have been the most amazing thing I have ever seen. He played for 3 and a half hours! The band are still a really incredible group of musicians, and he still knows how to entertain a crowd. (There was a point, actually, where I thought the atmosphere was a bit subdued, but he fixed that. As he does.)

There were many, many awesome things, but My City of Ruins was particularly good--in part because I just love how he performs it live, and in part because it was really explicitly about Clarence. <3 And Dancing in the Dark, because--obviously. And singing Tougher than the Rest with a sign from a member of the crowd in remembrance of his father in front of his mic. Getting a little kid on stage! Twist and Shout! Really, pretty much every song I love.

There was also some really cool thing with trumpets I didn't even recognise but will google tomorrow. And! And! An acoustic version of Thunder Road, right at the end. Have I said Amazing yet? Totally was. He was so good, the entire place went silent, and people who tried to break it were shushed.

Also, dude, the first song the crowd really got into was I'm on Fire. Apparently, nobody else cares that it's incredibly creepy. Or maybe that was the draw, I dunno. My point is. AMAZING! All of it! Even the creepy song!
