2007-10-22 United Center, Chicago, IL
| J.W. | Reason to Believe… just incredible… Tunnel of Love, WOW! Was hoping for Thundercrack, but a 12 year old kid in the front row got Bruce to play Thunder Road, which speaks for itself. Tremendous show. How could I forget, Spirit in the Night… awesome… be sure to catch this tour if you haven't yet. New material is mixed in and plays real well. |
| Keeder99 | After scoring a GA ticket for $50 I was lucky enough to get a bracelet that had the lucky number for a pit bracelet! The sound was crystal clear in the United Center, the crowd on this night was way more excited than the night before, and Bruce responded in kind. Radio Nowhere blasted out the gate, then Prove It All Night and Lonesome Day… good start… some new stuff came next, and the crowd loved 'em: Gypsy Biker and Magic. Both are very cool live. Then this new ZZ Top style of Reason To Believe, and the crowd goes absolutely nuts!!!! Now Bruce and the rest are feeling it. No time to catch our breath as they pour out Candy's Room (Insane), She's the One (Max!) and Living in the Future, followed by Promised Land, Spirit in the Night and Darlington County, all of which had bursts of the house lights and we could clearly see all 18,000 people on their feet and jamming. Incredible sight. Now Bruce has a friendly chat with the crowd, talks a little politics and leads into Devil's Arcade, Rising, Last to Die (Very cool as well), and Long Walk Home which is an emotional charge deep into the soul at such high volume. Next we hear the crisp piano noted to start Badlands and the roof flies off the building. The only person not jumping out of their shoes was Max! I almost passed out from the adrenaline rush. Bruce then starts to talk about Thundercrack, and is interrupted by the kid that drew the lucky number for the pit passes, and says something about the younger fans haven't heard this one, so what the heck. He then changes guitars and fires into the harmonica the opening rip for Thunder Road! Again the place explodes! Then we get Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark and finally American Land. Holy ! I've seen 18 shows since 1984, and this was it. Bruce and the band wanted to have fun, and if the crowd responds early, the do have fun, and everyone is rewarded!!! |
| Neil Welch | Travelled from the UK for these 2 shows. Was 60th through the door into the pit 1st night, 200th or so 2nd night. Both these shows were awesome, 2 great setlists..'Tunnel of love' was a major surprise as was 'sprit in the night'. The Chicago crowd was the best of the 8 US crowds I have seen. And Bruce responded. Thank you Bruce and Chicago FOR A GREAT TRIP. |
