Short review.
Much better show tonight, musically tighter and some tweaks made that
helped in regards to some of the problems I had with the other night.
Biggest improvement, dropping Adam for Cadillac Ranch, which was played
to the tune of Mystery Train with "the train I ride lyrics" mixed in.
Also, a nice waltz version of If I Should Fall Behind. It worked well
in terms of this show, though I didn't think the arrangement was as
good as some of the others we've heard of the song (and there are
many). And Open All Night was better with the Andrews Sister break
removed from the middle of the song and moved up to the start, where it
took place before Bruce even counted down into the song. In general,
the songs were played better.
Bruce and the band definitely seems to be having fun. After watching
tonight, there is no doubt I have a high regard for the music being
made on stage, I think they sounded really great and it will probably
only get better. That said, I still didn't feel much personal
connection to the material and this is not a tour where I'm going to
see tons of shows. After the show was over, even though every one else
I know was staying, I decided to skip tomorrow morning.
It seemed to me that the crowd wasn't that into it at points, though
Bruce was more engaged tonight with the crowd and later on he motioned
for people in the seats to get up and many did. Definitely in terms of
crowd participation the highlights are Pay Me and Jacob's Ladder. And
again I got the feeling during the show that it's going to be very
interesting to see how the show is received in sheds and arenas. The
show is definitely different, there is no doubt about that. This is
not a Bruce Springsteen you have seen before and I guess everyone is
going to have their own takes on how good or bad they think that is.
