Bruce Springsteen, University Park, Penn State

I bought 4 Compact Disks when I was a kid. CD's were new and pricey and came in those long boxes so I had to choose wisely. I listened to all of them over and over again and one was Bruce's album Tunnel of Love. From then on I was hooked on The Boss so I have been waiting for the chance to see him in concert for a long time. Tickets were all sold out in closer venues around NJ so M&C were keen to go for a smaller venue out at Penn State's main campus. We arrived about 10 minutes late and could hear Outlaw Pete from the parking lot. From then on The Boss was non-stop for the whole night. He played most of the good ones from his new album Working On A Dream and he sounded exceptional. You could really fell the energy in the crowd, and he delivered everything with a genuine heartfelt style. One of the many highlights was when he and E Street played Seeds, which I guess he used to play during his Born In The USA tours. Only ever recorded live, it was a real treat that he dedicated to everyone effected by the current hard times. Here is an old clip of Seeds if you want to have a look. He also played Waitin' On A Sunny Day from The Rising, (which was a great album), and right now I can't get either the title track, Working On A Dream, or Queen Of The Supermarket out of my head Anyway it was one of the best live concerts I have ever been to and it makes me wonder about what will happen to music when The Boss isn't around anymore, which hopefully won't happen for a long time.
