Reporting Bruce history

Published 2009-04-26

One of the purposes of Greasy Lake is to preserve Bruce history for new and coming generations of fans. When we create a record of every new show Bruce does, it is of course not least due to a "here and now" demand. People obviously want to study the setlist of the latest show and perhaps watch a Youtube clip.

But another important reason is to enable people five, ten or fifteen years from now (provided we're still around) to go back and get an impression of what a certain show or tour was like. An essential ingredience in this is the eyewitness accounts. We've been collecting them for almost 10 years and have more than 1600 of them. From the two-line exclamation to the page-long analysis and everything in between.

The current tour has so far generated about 30 accounts. That's pretty good, but not enough. A couple of shows like Tulsa and the latest Hartford show dont have any. So if you were present at those shows, or any other show, you should consider posting a comment. Surely you don't want "your" show to be the one no one can read about in fifteen years? And in the case of Hartford, do you really want a grumpy newspaper review to be the onlytestimony of what was no doubt much better than that?

So if you have a little time, head over to the Stage section, find your show and submit your words of wisdom. And it doesn't have to be a recent show. There are hundreds of shows from previous tours that still need comments. The next generations of fans will thank you.
