Line Out - Comments on Last E-Street Band Tour? http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/07/last_estreet_band_tour My friend Jersey City Benny is a huge Springsteen fan, but his friend Kevin is even huger. Kevin's on a variety of Springsteen fan sites and message boards. Here's a missive he found spinning around the Springsteen rumor mill:...

First, Springsteen is a very good songwriter. Secondly, his performances (at least the ones I attended with the E Street Band in the 80s) are fantastic. I saw a lot of them as the person I was dating at the time was a huge fan. So, between 1981 and 1986 or so, I saw probably a dozen performances. I still rank his shows a top notch (and I've seen hundreds by other bands during and since).

I would add this caveat: go to see him in a smaller venue, if possible. I thought that he and the band didn't quite pull off a good stadium show (who can?). And if you were as lucky as I to sit in the second row at a show and catch his harmonica, well, prepare to be mobbed.

Bad scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you cant find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, thats all
Im running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall
Tenth avenue freeze-out, tenth avenue freeze-out

Im stranded in the jungle
Taking all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalks bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
She hit me with a tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
And Im all alone, Im all alone
And kid you better get the picture
And Im on my own, Im on my own
And I cant go home

XX

I had to eat some serious crow and tell my older sister that she was right back in the 80's!
I sure hope they come back, I still count that as one of the best shows I've ever seen.
