Sit back and allow yourself to enjoy this 2 hour complete performance of Springsteen on Broadway. 
As many of us can't afford the average ticket price of around $500, consider this a gift to the community. Take that money and do something special with it...like pay the rent or make your car payment. Seriously Bruce, a top ticket price of $850?!? Nevertheless, I digress.... 

The sound quality on this recording is terrific. Perhaps as good as it can possibly get from an audience recording. Kudos to Johnny98 who may have snagged the ultimate recording seat in the Walter Kerr Theatre. 

The storytelling is vintage Bruce and, while many of them are lifted from his incredible autobiography, Born To Run, it's still a treat to hear him tell the stories and then play a relevant song from his long and illustrious songbook. Growin' Up is delightful to listen to and brings a smile to my face each time I play it but for my money, My Father's House and Tenth Avenue Freezeout are the standout moments of the show. If the story of his dad doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you need to have your pulse checked. And the tears of joy that fell down my cheeks as he plays Tenth, and talks about the E Street Band, Clarence in particular, brings back nearly 40 years of memories. So plug in your headphones, sit back and enjoy Springsteen on Broadway. And remember, Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Walter Kerr Theatre...at this time we ask you to turn off all cellphones...the performance is about to begin.

  1. Hello,
    Great. As you said I also cannot afford to pay so much for a concert. I don't understand that Bruce is doing so. Many thanks for sharing and congratulations for your blog.
    Best regards from French West Coast,
    Robert
