Who said we could go out? The Boss said!

Last night, Philly and I got to enjoy our first night of freedom since June 26th.  We had an absolute blast seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band!  They sure know how to give an outstanding show!  From touching tributes to his native New Jersey, to folk-inspired tunes, to his heartland rock-n-"soul," and even a little "Santa Claus is comin' to Town," he definitely made our night!  After 5 months of being homebodies, this was an AWESOME way to "break out!" 

This was our 2nd time seeing Bruce, and this go-around he seemed so much more into it, singing and "Dancin' in the Dark!"  He was pulling little kids on the stage, and letting them sing with him--one sweet little girl helped him out with "Waiting on a Sunny Day" that made your heart melt.  He even body surfed back to the main stage!  Not bad for a 63-year old guy! 

The horns, piano, harmonica, sax, accordion, and the bongo drum, and of course--guitar, made for some unbelievable music.  Some call his concerts "religious experiences" and when you've seen him perform, you understand why. 

Here's a little tid-bit: In the late 1960s, Bruce performed with a trio called Earth.  Playing gigs in clubs in New Jersey, Bruce acquired the nickname "The Boss," as he took on the task of collecting the band's nightly pay and distributing it among his bandmates.  He wasn't fond of the name (due to a personal dislike of bosses {ha!}), but he eventually gave it his tacit approval.  (He was formerly nicknamed "The Doctor.")


Great show, terrific night, and tremendous thanks to Aunt Mary for taking such wonderful care of our little darlin' while we were in Glendale! 





 
I was tired at the end of the show, I'm not gonna lie! 

Bruce played for over 3 hours!
