The Tables Are Waiting - 2014-05-17 – Mohegan Sun Arena Night #1, Uncasville, CT set list thread

This is the venue:

 

 

 

 

Show starts at 7.30pm local. 

 

This is of course the same time for New York, 0.30am UK, 01.30am CEST and 09.30am Sydney.

hope you all have a great last two shows.

Would be cool to see him do back to back full albums to close the tour...

 

long as one is The River and the other Nebraska

 

When you wish upon a star...

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star...

 

Jiminy Cricket says so...so it will come true! well he wouldn't lie...would he ?

Hello Todd

 

hope everything's alright in beautiful Seattle. Is your computer working properly again?

 

As for the shows: Since it seems that this will be the last shows at least for this year I really hope he'll do something special. Maybe Steve is showing up?

hey desa

I'm thinking the rumors about Steve being at Hershey the other night will translate to the last two in CT.And he will be there.

No way will he miss this 2 year tour last shows.or at least the very last one Sunday.

 

new ish computer...

 

these last two should be great.Sat's being the better I would think.Depending on how much energy he spends will say what Sundays will be like.Giving the couple days rest Sat's should be high energy.

I'm thinking it will be a request full show.And Sunday will be more on the lines of this is what we're giving so take it or leave it.

But then it's Bruce so anything can and usually does happen.

 

Either way...it's the end for a while.it will be emotional for a lot of different reasons to a lot of different people.

Been a long ass run past two years (WOW...crazy to think about that)

It started with WB and is finishing with HH.

 

Remember the days when it took years just to get 1 album out of him?

now we have had 2 years of tour and 1 and a half released during the tour...

that's just crazy.

not to mention the live downloads.

oh...and the short lived few weeks of selfies

 

 

so we reach the end

 

or the end of the beginning

 

or the beginning of the end

 

 

Or maybe....

 

Maybe we have reached the middle.

according to stevie on twitter, he's back for these two shows

I have a feeling he'll be back pretty soon.  He looks great, sounds great, and is clearly enjoying what he's doing. The clock is ticking, which he is surely aware of...

am I wrong again?

 

 

unbebloodylievable

I have a feeling he'll be back pretty soon.  He looks great, sounds great, and is clearly enjoying what he's doing. The clock is ticking, which he is surely aware of...

That's my guess, too. A late summer swing in Europe, then fall in the U.S. Then we'll see if that's it. Though Steve there for these last two has me wondering.

 

 

 

Not at all.

I was just wondering if maybe it is the middle.

maybe its the middle of the beginnings end?

lets just say i have an unease about this, and i don't like it one bit

na all will be good.he/they just need time off.

been a long run.give him a chance to do a real new album...one not full of covers.

 

also I really don't see him ending like this.i see more of a long night stand at Meadowlands and/or MSG in NYC after a longer run in the US not a 16 show run that was mostly on the east coast.

 

on the other hand.... this short run is where he pretty much cut his teeth when they first started touring way back when...so...hummmm

well a few months ago i recall Landau saying that they were planning something psecial later this year. An interview he gave about not going to sweden this year i think.

 

so hopefully that could still see the light of day - just like river box set

 

 

I don't see him doing a bombastic farewell tour, the e-street band will just fade away. I could easily see a two year gap to do other things and when he returns age or other factors will end the ride. I think Bruce's artistic juices are running low and he could leave this weekend fully intending to tour again. Whether or not it happens is another story.

were you able to get any tickets pedro???

Guess they had a drop.or as oats called it a drip.

but sold out real fast.

 

The other thought is what is the e street band? Maybe he will continue replacing and playing under that name. A lot of this tour has been without Steve, and obviously without Clarence and Danny.  If you told me in 1999 he was touring as the e street band without those three I'd call bullshit. Maybe Bruce's band will always be the e street band no matter who is playing.

I'm a bit in the doghouse with the missus but I'm in with terrible seats for Sunday! :-)

even terrible seats at a Bruce show are good seats....

rather have terrible seats then a 6 year dry spell like Seattle is having.

 

miss padrojunkie will understand.

That's great news you were able to get them...

I don't for a second believe this is the end. It night be of this mini-tour, but not of Bruce playing shows. I think there's already another album, waiting and ready to go whenever he wants to. "Bruce always has a new record in his pocket", didn't Steve say that? Someone did. Here's my warped thinking:

 

Did you notice how he physically presented himself last year and in SA & DU this year? The dark shirt with the tucked-in tie and all clean shaved. Now these last few shows we see him with facial hair and uniform-like shirts. To me he's starting to get in character for the next album, new songs, and a new topic. Grunge Bruce, a new direction. Then again, I may be hallucinating!

       
       

I like the clean cut Bruce.  Much hotter   Have fun Tara!

I too hope we have a tour in 2015 but it's not happening in 2014, that 's for sure.  All of his roadies, crew and security have other jobs this year.  Most are taking off for the summer and hooking up with other bands in the fall some are working sooner like Everett and Cindy.  If he was playing in the fall, those guys, meaning the crew, wouldn't be seeking other pastures.

 

One thing is for sure we'll be getting some great shows the rest of May.

And Pedro...there are no bad seats in Moghegan Sun.  The darn place only holds 10,000.  Wish me luck and look for the SPL contingent up front.

I agree with Ivan... not the end but a new direction maybe.

 

Have a great show to all going.. if steve is there all bets are off.

even if it is at a casino

If Steve is there for the last show we will get Blood Brothers and I will be hugging mine.

SPL'ers going...

Have a blast guys!

tonight or tomorrow he'll play greetings in full

 

you heard it here first

so you know what that means

Yep we do

Scoper ain't going, had an emergency.

My blood brother HeyEddie is driving up with me & we are meeting FrankM

Sorry to hear that re Scoper... 

 

Fantastic for you and HeyEddie. Love that a road trip is involved prior to the show.

 

Travelling to a Bruce gig with a blood brother is a special thing...

 

ENJOY!!!

 

Here are the tweets from Steve. 

 

 

COOL!!!! These shows are going to be special!!!!

Oh man, I'm sorry I have to miss this.. what turned out to be a minor illness (but could have been something much more serious - we couldn't take a chance.)

 

I'll be at the Yankee game this afternoon, should be getting home just in time to follow the thread - Whoever's posting, I want to know every detail!

 

Have a great show, everyone - make it one for the ages!!

Well glad it wasn't serious but feeling for ya Scoper.
Can you get to the last show?

for Stevie: The price you pay:

 

if not tngiht then tomorrow

Not without help from a friendly ticket fairy <g>. Minimum 2.5 hrs each way and I have to work on Monday- really not likely, which is why I was looking for Saturday. Fate stepped on our plans this time.

Hey gang,  Hope all those going tonight have a great show! Will be in the house tomorrow night with my dad, hljas, pulled section 17 drops on Wednesday, Super excited. Glad Stevie will be back for these two shows, they should be special. Working tonight, but will check the setlist thread when I can. Adding to the festivities is the fact that I believe Bruce and the Band has never played this arena before, so that adds to the shows and hopefully the opportunity for some deeper and rarer cuts to be played over the next 48 hours.

Or Bruce will see ...and hear that the tickets are way way over priced and know most there are not the diehards so he will give them

 

BITUSA full.
