Bo | Excellent show-better than the Philly show I witnessed in October. Bruce made us wait for over an hour, but he came through with some personal faves (For You, Jungleland). Sad to see Clarence trying to get around on stage, as it seems his knees must be bothering him badly. Bruce seemed to get emotional after the Big Man's solo in Jungleland — bringing a tear to my eye. On to Seattle — Portland will be hard to top!!! |
Chrissy | Got the hand written set list in my hand,it was kind of a bummer to see big C. walking so gingerly it almost seemed like he was sick or somethin', the portland crowd always kind of sucks. I'm from Beantown, so I know what kind of Bruce crowd it is and it was my 59th show. These people have probably had too much rain soaking their brains or somethin', but they were not as bad as they were at the Portland rising show, which was the worst Bruce crowd I've ever seen in all of my experiences. Thank God knows how to get people off their asses. |
KleWdSide | Overall, a solid show but it started off kind of rushed. But a double dose of "Greetings from Asbury Park NJ" (Lost in the Flood & For You) made up for it. A real highlight for any hard-core fan. And "Jungleland", of course. Let's just say that Seattle the next day was an improvement. |
Mission Man | I thought the show started out a little bit shakey, but when For You and Lost in the Flood came it seemed to totally energize both the band and the crowd….. |
