Saw them and I would definitely recommend it as a must see in your lifetime!
We'll miss you Big Boy. #10 is going into the Hall of Fame!!
Yeah
Bruce is easily the best live act I’ve seen.
"Keep pushin' til' it's understood. And these badlands start treating us good."
Have seen Springsteen live six times.
I know many have seen him more, but I’ll go see him any time I can.
It won’t quite be the same without Clarence Clemons.

you said it...I'd miss Clarence too,
I think E Street needs a sax player….wonder if they have one?

Yeah, I agree Al
Will be interesting to see how the band pay tribute to the Big Man. I’m thinking Jungleland with a recorded solo and a montage of him playing on a big screen, or as others have suggested, a lone saxophone sitting upright on stage with a spotlight on it.

how would they do any of their songs without him tho?

The early rumor is....
…..that Bruce will employ a horn section instead. Heard this on “The Mighty Manfred” show on Little Steven’s Underground Garage/Sirius radio.
That makes some sense
… though the songs wouldn’t sound the same without a saxophone.
I like the idea of the lone sax on stage with a spotlight.

Seriously
no one can replace the aura but Clarence’s playing has become less and less an integral part of the sound in recent years. In concert, he had been less and less as time has gone on.
By the way, if people haven’t seen much on the new release it is going to be very political and topical with songs such as “This Depression.”

I take it you've never seen Phish?

That would be fun to see, wouldn't it?
Hopefully, he’ll be doing it on the basepaths that weekend. Cubs are in Pittsburgh.

Oh man...adding the Benny Hill music is pure comedic genius.

No extra tour dates were announced — Springsteen with the E Street Band has concerts scheduled in Europe through July — but a source within the Chicago Cubs told the Sun-Times late Wednesday that the Boss is tentatively scheduled to perform at Wrigley Field in September.
Anyone wanna bet that CK was the “source within the Chicago Cubs”?

Wow. Wrigley field and Bruce Springsteen...a combination of two of the greatest american things
I may have to fly in just for the concert!
No way I'm missing this

season tickets holders
Are there any perks to being a season ticket holder for these concerts in the summer? And another concert was just announced this morning, so if the boss rumors are true there will be three concerts at Wrigley this summer. Has that happened yet? Maybe it has, but I’m surprised there are so many, this has to be it, right?
Generally
… STH are given a presale for concert tickets.
This will be the first time there will be two separate dates for concerts in one season — a pair in June, then another in September.

Rumor has it that
Phish may be playing July 4-5 at Wrigley.
