Tonight, in keeping with tradition, I will be playing the entire
@springsteen
album The Rising, in honor of the victims of 9/11. It will be a sad night.
So, after listening to
@springsteen
‘s “The Rising” in its entirety tonight, I was amazed that after all these years, and hundreds of listens, I hear new things. “Paradise” was sublime, “You’re Missing “ brought tears to my eyes. Still.
Incredible, high energy, 3 hour
@springsteen
show tonight. Audience was totally into it and these fantastic seats didn’t exactly hurt!
#SpringsteenTour2024
Giant stadium, July 28, 2008. I was at a
@springsteen
show. I don't know who he was, but when The Rising was played,he raised this card up above his head for the entire song. I've included a close-up of the card. I've always wondered if this was a brother or a friend. Powerful.
@travisakers
Good...but...he’s only fired because the video came out and it’s a national news story. Department needs a housecleaning, starting with command staff.
Man, oh man. I really don’t even know where to begin with tonight. Just incredible, off the charts energy
@Springsteen
show. Opening with Youngstown, getting streets of fire, racing in the street, Detroit medley, Rosie and twist and shout. On and on it went. Amazing, incredible!
Streets of Fire, Columbus.
@springsteen
absolutely smoked on this one. This may very well indeed be the best version I’ve ever seen of this song. Unfortunately, because Twitter is fucking horrible, I don’t think I can post the entire version here.
Trump: Is there anything better than a Trump rally? These liberal singers, they actually vote for me. You know, like Bruce Springsteen. We have a much bigger crowd than Bruce Springsteen. Right?
July 27, 2008, at the
@springsteen
show - Giants Stadium. During the Rising, this guy stands up and holds this card up for the entire song. I was to his left, and my friend snapped this pic. One of the most powerful moments ever at a show. (card text included)

A huge factor in show quality is how “in concert” the crowd & performer are.
@springsteen
killed tonight, and the crowd was on fire. Outstanding show overall.
The crowd tonight for
@springsteen
was unbelievable- totally off the chain. No one sat in the lowers, and most of the uppers too. I sat for exactly one song (last man standing.).

How about that timid response by the police chief about “certainly raises concerns?” Fire the cop who attacked the kid and charge him with assault. This kind of stuff makes my blood boil.
Fantastic energy from Bruce and the entire band tonight. Was an interesting crowd though, more on that when I’m not so tired. All in all, great show although not many surprises.

Rebekah - As a Floridian, I must say, you make me proud to live here! Kudos to you for your persistence, bravery and integrity.
@RyanShead
You wouldn’t believe the way the VA is treating my family trying to get help for our 93 y.o. dad. A combination of a blizzard of useless, redundant paperwork and extreme indifference. And we’re not getting anywhere (except a lot poorer.)
After a few (and only a few) hours of sleep, and a moment to reflect, I’d say last night was the highest energy show of the six I’ve seen. It helps too that the stage was set by the entire town taken over by
@springsteen
fans. Now, bus to Oslo baby!
I have posted some of my best
@springsteen
videos from Columbus on YouTube (under my name.). The “Racing” outro is magnificent. Still glowing from last night.
Hard for me to give a take on tonight’s
@springsteen
show. My section was like a funeral parlor. The guy behind me literally grabbed my arm and told me to sit down during the opening song. (I didn’t.) this photo was during DITD. Looked like good energy down below though.
Still - STILL - the Dems are too timid. Always paralyzed by the fear of negative consequences. Start here: impeach SCOTUS justices who lied under oath in their confirmation hearings. And call out the GOP for what it truly is - an authoritarian, anti-democratic party.
@GeoRebekah
And here is where we part ways. There was nothing shameful about it. And if you’re not voting for Biden, then you’re for Trump. It’s really that simple.
@RadioFreeTom
Tom - thank you for that beautiful story. We lost our dear Pumpkin Pie (only 4 years old) suddenly a few years ago. We miss her so much still.
The great

, Scandinavian adventure comes to an end, and we head home. Amazing trip. Met so many band members, wonderful people in both countries, best experience ever. As Bruce says, important to live the fullest RIGHT NOW!!

Many of
@springsteen
songs and stories about his relationship with his father were hard ones. This particular story from Broadway was so powerful,touching and positive. I was really happy that Bruce found some happiness and some sort of closure with his dad. Happy Father’s Day.
Felt like a celebrity for one second tonight at the
@Springsteen
show. Someone came up to me and said, “Are you Doug?” I said, “yes.” They said, “Oh, I’ve been following your Bruce posts on Twitter!” Hot damn! I’m famous! 😝
A moment to vent: this is the stupidest, most inane 🐴 💩 I’ve ever seen. I guess the 140
@springsteen
shows I’ve attended don’t make me a “real” fan. I’m not even given the CHANCE to try to buy tickets. I can’t even….
Some very happy news to start your day. Pat Robertson has died. This guy was a virulent racist and homophobe. He literally cheered on aids for killing gay people. Rest in hell !
I’ll have more tomorrow, but it’s midnight and I need to eat something. In the meantime, here’s a little treat from tonight‘s Oslo show.

As far as I’m concerned, I had the best seat in the house for the

@Springsteen
show. Not that I did any sitting, of course. I sat for exactly 2 songs. This is where I prefer to be, behind the stage watching
@Springsteen
work his magical stage craft. 🎸 🔥
@richsignorelli
I see this every day in my professional activities; it astounds me how two different people can look at one set of facts and draw conclusions that are polar opposites.
One lesson in the police/citizen divide: What happened to Officer Friendly? This guy looks like he’s patrolling the streets of Kabul. Make police look like police...not soldiers.
