I’m still recovering from Nashville and I’m not finished talking about it, but before we go back to that let’s keep up with what Bruce did in St. Louis and Kansas City. There’s a lot of great, fun stuff in both of these shows and I’d love to handle them one at a time and [...]

“This guy could fuck up a cup of coffee.*”
Only I could fuck up a homefield advantage by walking a half-mile the wrong way after the show, but in my defense it wasn’t really me. It was two corpses strolling out of that arena. The last thing I remember doing was dropping a few bucks in [...]

I’m so far behind I’m in front of me.
That line from Paul McCartney tells you exactly where I am. I got a lot of work done yesterday and last night and I’m only now getting to yesterday’s “Holy Shit” show in Richmond. Bruce dusted off a song from The River that he hasn’t played in [...]

We begin and end with cover songs. Fuckin’ great.
Okay, I’m over it. We get two songs from my Countdown list tonight, “Spirit In The Night” and “Because The Night.” Those are a couple of good ones. “Jungleland” is back where it belongs in the encore, along with “Rosalita” and “Born to [...]

Let’s look at this set list in a new way. Let’s look at it in light of the countdown we’ve been doing during the time Bruce & Co. have been off. There are three songs on this set list that I’ve already listed. I don’t want to give anything away as to whether or not [...]

29. Say it with me. 29 times. Not just 29 times, 29 consecutive times. Not just 29 consecutive times, but this marks 5 multi-city stands where he played “Mary’s Place” each night. 29 bowls of God’s wrath lay empty at his feet. Let’s move on (for now). Three songs that don’t get played enough [...]

The good news is there is an end in sight. This tour is going to end and I won’t have to fail miserably to creatively assess the previous night’s set list. I’ve decided the focus of my ire will be the covers. I know some people enjoy them but it gets back to my main [...]
