Thanks for these updates Dan, since some of us unfortunately have to work :-(

My friend is taping the show for me so I can watch it later :-) But I'll be checking in today both here & backstreets.com (the best Bruce fan discussion boards - been a member for a long time now!) for any updates!

Can't wait to see him on 11/19 in Boston!

I have NEVER missed a Bruce Tour since 1975, regardless of if it was solo, other bank, Seeger Sessions, ect. & it is always a memorable performance. I appreciate his intelligent songwriting, and find him to be a very attractive 58 yr. old! I am going to the Chicago & Boston Magic Show!!

I went by at 7:55 and heard him doing a song "Promised Land". Ran through the crowd and was able to get within 20 feet of him and the band. He sounded great but stopped after one song. Steve van Zandt and Nils Lofgren were then interviewed. I did have to leave to get to work so couldn't stay for the 8:30 set. (But I have tickets to see him at the
Garden)

I LOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE BRUCE! I think he speaks for/and to the people- he sings of the hardships of the average Joe.

I have been a fan of Bruce's since his first album- I was the only kid in grammar school who listen to Bruce.

FOREVER a Bruce fan!

And I'm a Jersey Girl!

I really love the way you "listened to the people", delayed the news, and aired Bruce's encore.

What a great Springsteen concert. Thank you TODAY show. It was so great that you covered so many songs. I wish I could have been there in person. Thanks for making this week-long single mom able to enjoy the show!

"The Rangers were at a homecoming in Harlem late last night" Would love to hear that in his soundcheck. How many of us Bruce fans really can't describe what it is like to enjoy Bruce's music or to become a true Rock-n- Roll fan when you see him live in concert. My first one was in the late 70's on Christmas Eve-out comes Bruce dressed as Santa-- jammed on Santa is coming to town. When reading all these blogs for the past few days I am shocked about some of the things that true Bruce fans are not sharing. The songlists are great and best memories are fabulous. When Matt was blessed to have the chance to interview him it is not just Bruce he is interviewing, if you grew up with his music and the E Steet Band, Matt is interviewing all of you as well. What was going on in Americans lives when we heard our first acoustic version of "Thunder Road" or "War" or "Racing in the Streets" or even "Jungleland". Bruce fans have always been able to connect some part of a happy moment past or present in their lives when listening to his music or talking about him. Not many interviews that we see on T.V. or words of some musicians especially RAP artists that are killing someone or stealing portrays this in our lives any-more. Pure music!! Hope all of our children become fans and carry out his tradition of being true to yourselves, surving struggles, growing up while respecting family and country. Let's not also forget that Bruce has a great supporting cast who else can play a Sax solo Jungleland is a great one to think of -- like the Big man himself C.C. The E Street Band has a big part to play in all of this as well. As I sit in my office today to re-cap all of these wonderful blogs that have taken me down memory lane--{25-years of it}-- I think of watching a concert at Giant Stadium and just hearing the set of BADLANDS-then Racing in the Street, into the- River and finishing it off with- Because the Night. I would like to know what Matt and all of the fans will be thinking about the next 10 years of Bruce and what memories we will be talking about with Matt and Bruce. Hopefully the best music that represents most of our lives both past and present of growing up in the best country in the world. Great job Matt, Fans and Bruce and thank you for taking me down memory lane and making me think about the future-- It's all good!!!

Awesome concert. Bruce may not have the greatest voice, but it is unique & his songwriting talent and enthusiasm is what make him great. I also like hearing about his political views whether I agree or not. He is not about money, greed, etc. He does not care about being politically correct. I love it! Keep it up...

For those of us that are true Bruce Fans there is nothing like him. Listenting to his music is the best but watching him and the band preform puts you into a totally different state of mind. It takes days for the smile to leave my face after seeing one of his shows. A true artist.

In reference to the other story on the show about your heroes letting you down??? I just wanted to say that Bruce has been one of my heroes for a long, long time & he has NEVER EVER let me down!!!! The true heroes of this world will NOT let you down. It's like your TRUE friends -- "If you'll be true to me then I'll be true to YOU!!!" Thanks NBC,Bruce & E Street!

If you are listening to Bruce because of his voice then you do not get it. It's the quality of the writing and the amazing live performances that make him special. By the way the voice is a true Rock & Roll voice and something to be appreciated. You do not have to agree with him politically to appreciate that he is a one of a kind artist. See you in Boston on November 18th & 19th!

Have always enjoyed Bruce's work. Still appreciate the beat, but not all of his lyrics. With my husband being in Iraq, I don't like to hear anything going out over the airwaves that can be used as propaganda against the USA, the country my husband is fighting for.
Bruce made a comment about having to get up early today. My husband gets up early everyday...to do something about the terrorism threat against this country. He and Bruce are both Americans, but my husband does much more for this country (for much less money).

I'll always be grateful to my bro' that has bought Bruce single Born in the USA in 1984, because as the first words i'm fallen in love with that singer. He is the best. I've seen him twice, in 1997 and in 2003. Twice i have been in Paradise. Bruce and the Band are so great. And now, i'm happy because my son of 2 years 1/2 old is a fan too. Everydays he ask for the DVD to dances on Bruce and he applauses and says Bravo. He even cries for that i put the DVD, and is happy to run and take it. Bruce i'll always be your fan, keep the good work with your band and be happy, always. A great artist. Love.
