Bruce put on a heck of a show last night, even though the awful NJ traffic left us with a 9:30pm start, rather than the unofficial 8:30 start (the tickets are for a 7:30pm start; hah!). My two observations about the band:
- Nils Lofgren may be shorter than Seth Green (but he had an awesome solo in Because the Night)
- Max Weinberg bears an unfortunate resemblance to Harold Ramis (but he drove the entire show)
Here’s the set list from the concert:

I had a blast, especially since he kept the preaching to a minimum (unlike the time I saw him in 2003, which I don’t seem to have written about), but that late start meant that I walked in the door at home at 2:10am. Now I’m up at 5:30, taking care of the dog and I’ll bring my wife down to the bus stop in an hour. It’s humbling, given that I just watched a 59-year-old man perform for 3 hours and 15 minutes without a break.
Good thing I’m not heading into the office today!
