Best since The River tour? Well probably not but as with most of my 40 or so shows the immediate impact is that “brilliant”, “staggering” , “best ever” type words fill your head. But it was definitely memorable in many ways.
I think for me the context of it being 24 hours after watching the fan adulation of Springsteen & I meant I probably approached it in a slightly different frame of mind. It was also one of the rare shows for which I have booked into a local hotel (200 yards away) and therefore had the opportunity to meet up with other “like minded” souls – nice nightcap chat with Riverdude and Mrs Riverdude.
The individual fan experience is, for me , what its all about and although, as Michael says, there was no “epic” in there (Roulette gets close for me) the overall makeup of the show was excellent and somehow hit home.
There was a question earlier about the playing of Janey before Thunder Road – was it for NJRosie? Whether Bruce meant it to be or not – it was.
RIP NJRosie.
