Thank you. That's a nice compliment. I saw the Auburn Hills (Detroit) show from about 15 feet away in the Pit and left in shock. I wrote at the time that I never seen more intense rock & roll, by anyone, including Bruce Springsteen. Every note was perfect. I love the political songs, and the pre-encore ending of The Rising, The Last to Die, Long Walk Home, and Badlands is inspirational. Long Walk Home, IMO, is his best and most important song since..., Oh, No Surrender. Thanks again.

I've never seen a comment that was as close to something I would have said. I first saw Bruce at the Spectrum in '76 when I was a freshman in HS. After that, 3 times in '78, 8 times on the River Tour(80,81), and just about every tour since. The last show being in Oct '07 on a suprise gift from my beautiful wife. You say it best when you say "a genus in his prime, still." I walked out of that show feeling like it was October of '76 again. "...worth the price of admission..." and shit.

Wade, Magic is, by far, his most explicitly political album and he's telling a political story that is summarized in the magnificent, "Long Walk Home." When he says, You just slipped somethin' into my palm Then you were gone "You," is our country, and what was slipped into our pocket were lies. The flag tells us "who we are, what we'll do and what we won't" has been betrayed. We don't justify an invasion with lies. We don't torture. It's going to be a long walk home. It's gonna be a

JohnnyCat77: Absolutely agree. The Reason To Believe this time around is a f#cking jam. watch?v=gq9uj8YjoKY

CPSJSMSUUMUGA: Abso-frickin'-lutely. I've seen Rising through today (& all of next week in Jersey!), & I gotta say the Devils & Dust Tour turned some classics inside out for me & then he stood them on their heads. "Promised Land" from that tour was incredible (Can't find on youtube though.). The story he's telling during the Magic Tour is powerful stuff. I won't go into my interpretation, except to say this thing that is America is indeed special and important, but very fragile right now.

Truth: Bruce's show is not a "remember this" tour; He's still re-working his material, and it sounds as fresh as ever. His current version of "Reason to Believe" is one of the highlights of the tour.

There are a lot of comments suggesting that if you didn't see Bruce 30 years ago you missed him in his prime. I've seen multiple shows in the tours supporting Darkness (1978), the River (1980), Born in the USA (1984-85), Tunnel of Love (1987-88), Lucky Town/Human Touch (1992-93), Ghost of Tom Joad (solo, 1996-97), Reunion (1999-2000), Rising (2002-2003), Vote For Change (2004), Devil & Dust (solo, 2005), Seeger Sessions (2006), and the current "Magic" shows reveal a genius in his prime, still.
