Some nerd livestreamed the whole show, if you want to watch it:

More or less the same set, slight tweaks.

The movie is just gonna be him floating down a river in a canoe listening to the songs on a boom box. Would watch!

Love that Bruce is getting back in the habit of popping up on stage with other musicians. Somebody leaked the news yesterday, and I think he flies home between shows anyway, but Bruce flew east from Cali to play with Zach Bryan in Brooklyn yesterday.

I'm not familiar with the song they played together "Sandpaper."

I think it's new.

Just found out about this guy flying home between shows. That's wild. (Not to mention, environmentally questionable.)

Carbon footprints of the rich and famous. But he's 74, it's probably nice to go home for a few days.
Speaking of flying, some friends and I are talking about flying up to one of the Philly shows. I don't know if it'll come together, but I really would like to see him (at least) one more time.

Looks like he is loosening up the setlists, maybe 5%, throwing in some songs he hasn't played yet, taking the occasional request. Still mostly the usual, but I think he knew people were getting a little tired of that.I think I'm going to try to see him again in Philly this August, depending on prices.

Some nice additions in Los Angeles last night, reportedly. And 32 songs, 3 1/2 hours! He's done this before, recently, one tour leg exciting but still relatively conservative, and then the next one loosening up, with more requests and surprises.

Bob Seger used to do the same thing. Play two or three shows, fly home for a few days, go back out. Metallica, too.

Zeppelin kind of invented the home-base method of regional rock band touring, as I understand it. Set up in Chicago, head out for a bunch of shows within a certain radius. This is not what Bruce is doing, though I think Bruce does fly home after almost every show. I meant that Bruce toured for much of 2023, took time off to get healthy, and now has returned to the road (for many months) reportedly reinvigorated.

The sound at the show last week was almost unbearably loud (forgot to bring ear protection which i basically always tote to a show). The horn section was just blaring and after 2 hours I was semi covering the ear most exposed to a speaker stack when they came in. But I am really happy that I went and jeez feel like we really got our money's worth. Band sounded great and was awesome to see those legends.

it's quite remarkable to see him in 2024 and consider that he is more or less 40 years past his live peak.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 5 April 2024 17:06 (one month ago) link
I love, for the boss' sake, that he has a "Little Big Man" in the band
