Their energy and commitment to their fans cannot be matched by any other band and they just get better and better as the years pass. Thank you from the heart Bruce and the E Street Band. |

| Sam Miller writes: Twice in Dublin, once in Glasgow (our 'hometown gig'!) and once in Benidorm; a friend asked 'Is it not the same every time?'.. HA!! Like a different show - fantasticis all I can say, each and every time. Rock 'n' roll class. |
| Sam Miller writes: Don't complain too much - didn't get near Scotland last year had to go to Wales to see him (- and Barca but that was no hardship!!) so this year was his first since apparently 1980 with the Band and that was Edinburgh!! Seems he plays almost every year in Dublin - half an hour by plane from here!! Was worth the wait though.. |

| Albee Tellone writes: Thank you from all of us Upstagers for covering this story. That place was more than just a club to play at. It was our home away from home. A lot of us were looking for others like us to create music in our own way. Tom and Margaret Potter let us do that at the Upstage. |

| Ken Thompson writes: On Feb 13th, 1981, I saw Bruce Springsteen play at Humphreys Colesium at Mississippi State University. I was 16 at the time, and I was just starting to discover Bruce's music. That night in 1981 was the first time I ever heard what would become my favorite song of all time, "Jungleand". I grew up only 40 miles down the road from Miss. State, and this night was special because this was the one and only time he played in my backyard. I eventually graduated from Mississippi State in 1992, as did my two brothers before me.
I have seen Bruce 4 times since then...I caught him in Washington D.C. in 1984 and 1985, and I was sooooo happy he and the E-Street Band reunited...I saw the reunion show in Kansas City in 2000. I saw him this year in Houston. I remember how electricity practically went through me when I saw him pluck a sign from the audience that said 'Jungleland'... but he didn't play it. The only show I have been to where he played 'Jungleland' was that fateful night, at Miss. State, in 1981. I had resided myself to think, "well maybe, that is just how it is meant to be".....but now, there is this Nashville show...and a promise from 'The Boss' to perform the "Born to Run" in it's entireity. I love ALL of Bruce's music, but ""Born to Run", "Darkness", and "The River" will always be special because I was 16...it was Miss State...those were the first Springsteen records I listened to. Like Mr Landau's famous quote, I could really use a night where I get to 'feel young again'. I have waited almost 28 years....and now it is time for "Jungleland" one more time. In the song, the 'rat's own dream gunned him down'....but my dream will be realized...Nov 18th, in Nashville, TN. |

| Sara Deutsch writes: Amen! Happy Birthday Bruce! |
| Little BigMan writes: having seen the boss and ESB in fort lauderdale 10 days ago (30 years after my first show) i can say without fear of contradiction he remains what he has always been, a Force of Nature. Beyond the hype, beyond the Sony Music PR, beyond the decline and fall of the runaway American Dream, he remains what he always been...one of a kind. In concert no one is comparable. What will the future bring? No one knows. But what I do know, is that if I should fall behind, he is the musical force I would want to fall behind. Then...now. And hopefully for many years to come.
Happy Birthday Boss. And thanks for providing the soundtrack to my journey... |

| Paul Doughty . writes: The man is a complete legend . Way back in 1981 , as a 17 year old Londoner travelling round the USA , don't ask me how but I ended up at Red Rocks on a summer evening in August , to see Bruce and the gang . Half way through the first set ( in the days when there were two halves to the show ) , the rain started and by the break it was pelting down pretty damn hard . Now the Red Rocks arena has no roof (!) so we were getting soaked - the boss came out during the interval , said he wanted to carry on , but if we wanted to vote there and then to stop the show , he would reschedule for a couple of days later at the indoor sports arena . This man clearly has a heart ! The vote took place there and then . The result was unanimous - the show went on !!! The band came back out and from memory played either 'who'll stop the rain' , or 'sea cruise' , I forget , but Bruce wore a Navy captain's hat , and slid right across the stage at the end of the song . An incredible night continued - a life changing event for a 17 year old from south west London . I raised a wry smile when I read that Bruce mentioned that night when they last visited Denver earlier this year on the WOAD tour . Thank goodness nearly 30 years on I have tickets for NYC in November - let the band keep rockin' !! |
| Sad in the NW writes: On behalf of the cities Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, we are bitterly disappointed in being left out entirely on this tour. What's up Bruce & co.? Surely you're not expecting us to believe that over the course of a year you couldn't work out a time to schedule one show in each city? |

I have seen Bruce many times in Europe but never in the States and would so love to see him play in his home town it must be something really special.
Love to all USA E-Streeters - enjoy amazing shows and to Bruce and the E Street Band England misses you already. Jackie |

| Blind Zero writes: Bruce has repeatedly stated that "the end" of the band never will be announced. I'm really tired of all these speculations. Every tour brings the same "yada yada yada this is the end for sure" nonsense.
Only one thing is certain: The whiners will eventually be right. Just a pity you been waiting eagerly for the end the last 20 years. |

| molliemouse4 writes: There's nothing wrong with nostalgia & there's nothing wrong with innovation. I would pay good money just to watch Bruce Springsteen play nose flute because whatever he does, he does it with such obvious joy & passion which is instantly transmitted to his audience. If fans visibly radiated their emotions during his concerts, then there would be the most vibrant & incandescent of rainbows blazing the night sky over every arena he's played.For me, & I'm sure for many other's, his performances are spiritual. |
| Boots writes: Dude, lighten up and enjoy the fact that the band has been around for so long. If they continue, fantastic, if not, they've had a nice little run. |

| Bruce L. writes: While it common knowledge that Clarence needs to get physically better,, Max has always been able to juggle his Conan gig with E-Street Band tours. At this point,, as we all are getting older, health of all these great musicians is the biggest issue. If they feel great in two years, Bruce (by Steve's admission,) has alot of music in the can, and ready for the band to play. In the meantime, happy vacation to all the crew and bandmembers... and we will see you for the last tour sometime in Mid 2011 |
| Captain Puget writes: Dear Mr. Springsteen and E Street Band,
Well, at age 54 I've been to a few dozen of these Springsteen shows since 1975. I'll let the fellows have a wee bit of a rest, but unless you have a doctors note don't come whining to me. I've kept my work boots lace up between tours and I'm up all night again tonight making an honest living for my wife and kids. So go ahead and go home, get reacquainted with the family have a little down time then get back out here on the road and go to work. That's where I'll be, kickin' ass and takin' names. Prove it all night, Prove it every night, Prove it all life. |
| Ryan Wakley writes: They have been playing so great for the last two years it will seem a shame to let it all go. |
| alberto writes: As Bruce L said, I would like to say just only one time, we?ll always have Buenos Aires, Argentina for a full Bruce?s concert. |
| Bruce fan 2009 writes: "And without him (Clarence), can you still call it The E Street Band?" Danny died a year and a half ago. Last I heard he was a member of the E Street Band. The band has already left us. Most people just don't seem to know it or want to realize it...When I saw him a month ago it seemed like a nostalgia act. Maybe Bruce has realized he can't create the same music he used to create. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He still sells as many tickets as today's popular artists. I think Bruce can still be relevant and popular even if he changes his music a bit and keeps most of the band. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Bruce has shown since Danny's untimely death that he will move on minus one E Streeter or two or three. As long as he has fun, enjoys the crowds and wants to make some money, he'll be back in some way, shape or form.

| Outlaw Pete writes: Bruce fan 2009, how can you say Bruce is a nostalgia act? In the last few years, as well as the awesome E Street Band tours, we've seen Bruce tour solo (Devils & Dust) and tour with the Seeger Sessions Band. Three very different things! God, when Bruce toured with the 92 band, folks complained, then he tours with the E streeters, and folks say it's nostalgia!
Radio Nowhere, Girls in Their Summer Clothes, Outlaw Pete, Kingdom of Days...all new songs, and all great. Who says he can't create anymore? Of course he can't write Born To Run or Thunder Road; he's a different person now, and trying to write songs like that WOULD be turning into a nostalgia act. |
| mick parkinson writes: very well put outlaw pete the same bitchers and whinners will still kill for tickets if another tour is announced !! |
| Bruce fan 2009 writes: I didn't kill for tickets. I got them 3 days before the show. I think he did 5 songs out of 30 from post Rising albums. If you want to know how popular Bruce is now compared to 10 years ago, just look at where he plays and how many nights he plays. We're not looking at 15 shows at the Meadowlands or 10 shows at Giants Stadium anymore. The facts are all there to see. He's still a great performer but let's not act like he's at the peak of his popularity. |
