With the rescheduled show in Ft. Lauderdale, the band has now made good on all dates scheduled for the spring US leg of their Magic Tour. It’s been one hell of a run as new songs were debuted along the way and new songs were played in the opening spot. It also turned […]

I never had any doubt but I have become that guy. Yet another set list that wasn’t as cool as what we got in Atlanta. “For You” was a nice inclusion here tonight as was “Adam Raised a Cain,” but there’s nothing here that makes me prefer this show to my own. […]

I can’t deny this is one hell of a one-two punch to open the show, but I still like what we got in Atlanta. “Reason To Believe” is a great opener (you can see the Atlanta opener via the YouTube). I like this set list a lot, but there are a few (in […]

Thank God I went to the Atlanta show rather than Charlotte. That’s not to say the Charlotte show wasn’t good. I wasn’t there to compare them both but based on setlists I’ll take Atlanta, hands down.

I’ve been replaying the night in my head for nearly 48 hours now, trying to condense it all into a few thoughts and words. Good luck. I’ll come as close to that as possible in the coming days and I’ll share it all with you, but in the meantime here is the setlist […]

…and then it happens.
Six months of waiting — years of waiting, really — and the day finally arrives. The day arrives and then you arrive. Atlanta. I hate this fuckin’ place. You arrive and you get gouged for a Coke in the CNN Center. You watch some silly 20somethings take […]

Is there any song more perfect to open a show than “Cadillac Ranch?” I can’t think of it if there is. Damn, I wish that would have been saved to open for us in Atlanta. I love that one. Houston also got “Rosalita,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out,” and the 2008 premiere […]

Never let it be said that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t understand the moment and that he can’t hold a grudge. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the band played “Independence Day” for the first time on tour in the president’s home state? Do you think he’d allow Jon Bon Jovi on his stage […]

I can’t say I like the set list for Anaheim #2 better than I like it for the first night, but there are some great and inspired song choices here. Best of all, Tom Morello came out and played “The Ghost of Tom Joad” again and our good friend El Bicho got to see […]

I still think the most exciting event of last night was Kansas’ stunning comeback victory against Memphis in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament last nigh, giving the Jayhawks their first title in 20 years. I didn’t imagine there would be competition, only because I forgot Bruce & Co. were playing San Jose last night.
