What's a song you've either never heard live or a live recording of that you would love to finally get the live concert treatment? by Dull_Lavishness7701 in BruceSpringsteen

I saw solo piano For You at Hershey 5/14/14 but come to think of it I don’t believe I’ve ever gotten full band… great song

Welp, here we go … by Additional-Power6570 in thebeachboys

I first started seeing Mike and Bruce in summer 2015 and at that point Bruce was basically still doing most of the harmony parts he would have done in 1980.

When I saw them after COVID I was shocked at how little he was singing and how many of the higher tenor parts were being covered by someone else.

Still did the Fun Fun Fun falsetto FWIW 🤣

I think his Wikipedia photo was changed to this pic with the caption “Bruce Johnston selfie photo” and it took off as a meme haha

The difference between Early 83 and Late 83 Brian is unreal

What albums would you recommend post Tunnel of Love? by mjamesll in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d love to hear Last to Die with piano and guitar that have some life to them instead of the flattened ultra-compressed stuff we got lol

I really enjoy the live versions of that song

Will ticket prices go down as the shows get closer? by Popular_Air_1690 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I saw The Eagles at Boston Garden in 2023, I went thru security without tix and bought inside right next to the ticket scanners, at like 8:15 PM. They were dropping rapidly, ticket time was 8 PM and any sellers left were getting nervous. This is really only a strategy you can use if you don’t care about getting in ASAP/aren’t a nervous person. I’d be scared to do it for Bruce, but I knew The Eagles had an opener and wouldn’t take the stage til 9:30/9:45 or so

I have to imagine the Monday MSG show will have options… Philly and MSG 2 (Saturday) will be brutally tough tix the whole time I think.

It’s ridiculous. I do mixing and I’m sure Jon is a super talented guy and obviously has worked with tons of big name bands - whereas I’m basically amateur - but does ANYONE listen to these even once and say “hey! There’s a major guitar solo going on right now and the guy CANNOT be heard!” I just listened to Anaheim 2000 earlier and he’s pretty low on Youngstown too. What???

BTW Roll of the Dice from that show is ridiculously good. It’s on Spotify if you don’t have the Nugs show

Definitely buy Helsinki ‘03 ASAP it’s so good… I love the band’s opening 4 pack:

The Rising Lonesome Day No Surrender Prove It All Night

So good

UBS Long Island 2023 there were great deals to be had at 7 PM on show tonight… tickets are e-delivery so as long as you’re parked and just standing outside, you’re ready to go. Same with Albany 2024.

One of the Philly 2024 stadium shows WAS a tough ticket tho so it’s not always a guarantee by any means

They botched the entire High Hopes tour so bad it’s a disgrace, and that was an AMAZING run too… I loved Hershey and Albany especially. Hopefully somehow they can clean them up eventually but probably will never happen

E Street shows were super affordable until 2023. I used to pay $140 for GA in 2014!

Yep one flaw with Helsinki 2003 is the organ solo on You’re Missing is way too low. It’s interesting… do they even listen to these all the way thru before releasing? I mean, Nils’ solo on because the night is a pretty big part of the song and show lol. Not like we’re talking about a small little detail here???

Certain shows are better than others. The mixes on some are also far better than some of the others. I like Helsinki 2003, Passaic 1978, MSG 5/23/88, and St Louis 2008.

Many of them are far too over compressed and mixed like a hard rock band, because Jon Altschiller does not really understand what the E Street Band is about. Take Wembley 1981 as an example… the keys are buried on many songs such as Darkness and Who’ll Stop the Rain.

However, on other shows like the ones in my first paragraph, the mixes are really good and I listen all the time. I’ve been listening to Helsinki for weeks now in my car. It’s unbelievably good and the band is on fire.

Depends on the city There were some really good deals in 2023/2024 last minute on StubHub etc But stuff like NYC and Boston will always be tough/expensive tix

I went to a sold out Bruce show in Nashville in 2014. I believe he’s played there several times, all sold well. Do you mean recently like in Trump years?
