HOLY FUCK!!!! Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band played a benefit show at the tiny Count Basie Theatre. The $1000+ tickets (with a limited number of $100 raffled off tickets) sold out immediately. This is Bruce at a small theater in New Jersey after all. The show was out of my price range. Now, I'm really sad I missed this show.
With the high ticket price, the E Street Band delivered what will definitely be considered a legendary show.
They started the show off with Bruce announcing "We're gonna start with Darkness, so we don't send you home suicidal!" They then all messed up the intro and immediate stopped. "We fucked it up already! I knew there was a reason why we didn't do this. Maybe we shouldn't do it!" Then the band kicked into "Badlands" and continued playing Darkness on the Edge of Town straight through!
They then took a break and came out and played Born To Run straight through!!!!
AND THEN, they came back to encore with "Kitty's Back" and "Rosalita". Amazing!!!
Unbelievable...........
