bouche Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 i'm staying at the hotel here and went for a coffee this morning. 2 huge rigs labelled "entertainment services" were just backing in to a loading area. I'm guessing it's his shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) So fucking IN.Edit to add: Ben Rayner is a fucking douche. Grabbing quotes from Metric and PS I love you to support the notion that Bruce shows are too long? They would have to cover DSOTM AND Born to Run along with their own catalog to even think about going over 3 hours. And everyone would still leave.

Marcust99 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Strangest moment of last night: walking through the pit and seeing Alan Thicke and Tie Domi standing there together. There was this short stalky bouncer guy barking at people not to take pics of them (understandably) as they just wanted to enjoy the show like everyone else..

Marcust99 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 No set break. They didn't even leave the stage before the encore set either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 They almost never play anything after Twist and Shout, but Bruce said "fuck it, we can't go home tonight anyways" and they lit into Glory Days.Glory days indeed Bruce.

Northern Wish Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 From springsteen.net :NOTES ON TORONTOArms over each others shoulders, Bruce and Nils walked in front of the E Street Band to the stage at Rogers Centre in Toronto, headlong into a solid wall of cheers and applause. As Charlie Giordano hit the strains of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game†and the Band members stepped on stage, the overwhelming cheering continued. Hearing and making that powerful noise made the connection that inevitably happens at a Bruce show: for the rest of the night, Toronto was going to follow Bruce wherever he went.Last night, “Candy’s Room†and “Incident on 57th Street†were the two extremes, the songs that took us the farthest in two directions. “Candy’s Room†came on like an explosion, while a classic solo “Incident on 57th Street†at the piano was a crash course in mass hypnosis. During “Thundercrack,†Bruce led a young Toronto girl in a refrain of “All night… all night…†getting progressively quieter each time around, until they were barely audible. The audience followed them perfectly until you could almost hear yourself think. Just as gradually the sound came back up, a little bit louder each time, and when the band released us from the trance, the cheers landed on the stage like a thundercrack.The overpowering combination of Curt Ramm and Nils closing out a loving rendition of “Jack of All Trades†left us primed for a hard-rocking back to back “Murder Inc.†and “Prove it All Night.†We saw Bruce, Steve and Nils working in their “master guitarist†roles, with Bruce and Steve in a ferocious guitar battle during “Murder Inc.†and Nils as anchor with a volatile solo during “Prove it All Night.â€The other vital dimension of the show at Rogers Centre was raw sex appeal, with multiple solos from the E Street Horns, powerful vocals from the E Street Singers, and the spontaneity that comes with Bruce ditching the setlist halfway through the first song. When Bruce called out for all the red headed women in the audience, a frenzied and distinctly feminine cry was heard from the stadium and Bruce shot back, “Well stay away from me!†before leading an even louder cheer for Patti.As Bruce came off the stage after three hours and 37 minutes, he said to his team, “That was the greatest audience we have ever had in Toronto.†Long time tour members heartily agreed.- Charles D.
