Rehearsal show sets the tone
Published 2005-04-22
Bruce unoffiicially kicked off the tour last night at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park with a 23-song set lasting a couple of hours. He debuted several songs from the new album and pulled out a few rarely performed gems from his back-catalogue including "Tougher Than the Rest", "Used Cars", and "Lost in the Flood". Throughout the night he was talkative and gave the crowd insight into some of the new tunes. All in all the response has been positive although of course many fans miss the band.
