Funny I was just listening to a Bruce bootleg and thinking about doing a review. Guess you beat me to it. 718925@blogcritics.org Sun, 18 May 2008 04:52:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718859 btw, Bud Light for the birthday Rockologist 718859@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 May 2008 20:26:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718858 There's been a number of cool shows like this lately. The Complete Wilco five-night run in Chicago and Phil Lesh's current five-night stand in SF where he is recreating two Dead albums a night. More bands need to do this. The hits are boring after a while. 718858@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 May 2008 20:22:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718836 Thanx Josh. I just wish I'd have been there. And you're right...Bruce doing one of these type of shows for "The River" is just about the only way you'd pry a performance of "The Price You Pay" out of the man. Less of an impossibilty than I would've thought after this show though. Who knows...? -Glen 718836@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 May 2008 19:00:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718795 Nice work, "Iguana" Glen. I was pretty floored by the set list of this show. One of my favorite things about it is that they fucked up "Badlands." You can probably tell us how many times that song has been played since '78, but you're going to need a few extra hands. I've seen them once and I heard it. Of all the songs to misfire on, that's the one they booted. Hilarious! The Stones did a thing a couple years back where they went deep cut on a different album each night. I think it would be cool if Bruce did that on a handful of shows- maybe play one album straight through each night over the course of a few shows. You could have <i>Darkness</i> night, <i>BTR</i>, <i>Greetings</i>, etc. <i>The River</i> would be tough because it's a double and because he doesn't play "Price You Pay," but I think it would be a whole lot of fun to see him tear into those albums. 718795@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 May 2008 15:55:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718654 Thanx Laser. Sounds like Cohen sets up a perfect segueway to Bruce's own overlooked 1992 gem "Living Proof" there doesn't it? -Glen 718654@blogcritics.org Fri, 16 May 2008 21:02:15 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718590 Glen, great review. Bruce always lives up to the challenge of providing us with the unexpected. It is how he stays true to himself and makes the journey for his fans never-ending. As another legend(leonard cohen) sang just this past week, "hallelujah, hallelujah your faith was strong but you needed proof" Bruce gives us all the proof we need. 718590@blogcritics.org Fri, 16 May 2008 16:47:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718371 Smell it you may, but apparently not this week. -Glen 718371@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 May 2008 23:18:28 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/15/204645.php#comment-718363 I smell a BSCA show. 718363@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 May 2008 22:37:52 EDT
