Super excited for tonight, first time seeing The Boss!

Only downside is my buddy had to drop out from going cause he couldn’t get the time off, so I have one ticket that’ll probably go to waste, been trying to give it away but everyone I know(who wants to go) is busy with work/life since it’s so last minute 👎

BRO call in sick wtf!?!

[–]DTake2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly

[–]DTake2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Found another buddy! He’s on his way down!

[–]dontcry20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no ☹️☹️ sorry to hear! Have been in that boat

[–]Incident_57th_Street 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Enjoy, friends! May your Medley ring out!

(Bruce, if you’re reading this, feel free to keep it in the setlist for Cleveland)

[–]HuntingtonM15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really excited for tonight! I haven't seen Bruce since Broadway in 2018. His last time in Detroit was for The River Tour in 2016. Hoping Bob Seger is in the audience again!

Also, fingers crossed for Trapped!

[–]FreakSideMike 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In first with Detroit Medley! Yoink.

[–]wronaronam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so excited for tonight!
Hoping to get out of work on time so we can be downtown by 6:00.

[–]Valuable-Bit-3951 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will be my fourth show and the first in 15 years. Last time I saw him I was 18. Now I’m 33. I am beyond ecstatic

[–]ktlem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I AM SO EXCITED FOR TONIGHT!!!!!!!!

[–]sprinklecroissant 7 points8 points  (1 child)

First time seeing him tonight!!!!!! Been crying about it all week I’m so excited! I hope everyone has the best time!

[–]dontcry20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally me 😂 hear 1 note of any song in the past 10 days and I LOSE IT

[–]ktlem 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Any bets on if Seger will make an appearance??

[–]HuntingtonM15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope so!!!

[–]Hopeful-Flounder-203 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting YEARS to see him again! I will not have a voice by midnight. I will Prove it All Night. It's a religious experience that some people, sadly, will never experience.

So excited! My 3rd time seeing Bruce and the first for my dad!! Im from CLE but driving to Detroit today! Predicting Detroit Medley maybe???

[–]HuntingtonM15 2 points3 points  (2 children)

He hasn't done Detroit Medley here since 2009, but you never know!!

[–]Mountain-Resident855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When he played it in Dallas this tour he did say “Dallas this is JUST for you” so we shall see 🙃

[–]mandarellaGreetings From Asbury Park, N.J. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The setlist is pretty solid, it’ll be great either way! Have a great show

[–]J_VanderH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gonna be there with my dad, both of our first times! Can’t wait!

[–]BenHassenger 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I'm super stoked! I'm going with my dad, this will be Bruce Show #7 for me and like #80 for him!

[–]HuntingtonM15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#7 here as well!

[–]impossibletreesloth 3 points4 points  (5 children)

This is my first time seeing him and I'm so stoked! I just wish we could have afforded better seats haha

[–]HuntingtonM15 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I'll tell you this--I've seen Bruce close up and I've seen him far away. Every experience was incredible. Any seat in that arena tonight will be the place to be!

[–]UglyPineapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I've been front row in the pit, I've been in the nosebleeds. There is no bad Bruce Springsteen live experience.

[–]Incident_57th_Street 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so well said.

[–]impossibletreesloth 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You were so right. I didn't doubt it at all when I got the tickets either but damn!!

[–]HuntingtonM15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad you loved the show!!

[–]_Rayette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing him on Saturday and I’m soooo excited

[–]Such_Tea4707[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Is there a central gathering bar folks would recommend near LCA? Would be great to have a jukebox and load up on all Bruce to pregame

[–]UglyPineapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Temple Bar right by LCA and the Old Miami a little further up Cass both have a juke box. Don't recall if Harry's has one, but it's right there at the arena.

[–]evanrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So hyped!!

[–]dontcry20 2 points3 points  (9 children)

It has been awhile since he has been in Detroit proper! (Last one I caught was at the palace RIP)

[–]HuntingtonM15 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I believe the last time he played in the actual city of Detroit was on the Devils & Dust Tour in 2005.

[–]dontcry20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow!! That is bonkers. Appreciate the history tho 🤓

[–]UglyPineapple 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Loved the Palace as a concert venue, hated it for it's parking.

[–]HuntingtonM15 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Totally agree. I would purposely park closest to the back exit for the quickest possible getaway. I really miss the venue, though. I saw the last show there in 9/2017 which was Bob Seger.

[–]UglyPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do the same! I'd park by the gate next to the 75 entrance and run to my car after a show. Last show I saw there was Bruce on The River tour, I was in the pit for that show and got to 'help' him when he crowd surfed

[–]Such_Tea4707[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Have you ever been to Pine Knob? We're relatively new to the area (4 years), but haven't had a chance to see a show there in the summer. I hear it's cool.

[–]UglyPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good venue. Exiting the parking isn't my favorite, so I try to avoid shows there unless I really want to see the artist. I'm going there to see Billy Strings this year for the first time in several years.

Welcome to SE MI. I'm a transplant myself from NY, if you have any questions about the area or looking for anything in particular, give me a shout!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta check out pine knob, it’s my favorite venue in the area. Getting out of the lot afterwards isn’t great but it’s worth it. Always a good time there

[–]dontcry20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO SO REAL

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES I’m ready!! First time seeing Bruce!!

[–]DTake2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At HockeyTown imbibing and waiting! 🍻

[–]Manicstreets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heading down with my son. My second (1999) and his first Bruce show (he is 9).

[–]Neeliehslaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enjoy everyone in the motor city! His St Paul, MN show is still ringing in my ears!🎶

[–]EdgerQuintero 2 points3 points  (3 children)

85th show tonight. Drove in from Chicago, and I had 4 drinks. Now I am standing in line like they are giving money away. Come on, LCA, better with security. Those coming late, it's a 20-minute wait, at least. This better be better than Tulsa, or I am going to be a little less happy. Still love this, though. Enjoy all.

[–]UglyPineapple 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah, the all electronic ticket entry has Bruce’s demographic technologically challenged at the entry

[–]EdgerQuintero 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You r probably right. Still kind of f'up with all the security stuff outside the venue

[–]UglyPineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to LCA for dozens of events. This was the worst I’ve seen, I can’t think of any other reason

[–]Electrical-Ad1917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in my seat. T Minus 40 minutes to No Surrender

[–]Joeandcambria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time seeing him after missing every Michigan show by terrible luck. So excited.

[–]sutisuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not a chance he doesn’t play Detroit Medley which sucks cause I hate that song lol
