> The set:
> 1. Thundercrack
> 2. Seeds
> 3. Prove it all Night

> All three fucking rocked, particularly Prove It.  Bruce was wailing on
> the guitar.

> 4. Hungry Heart
> 5. Working on a Dream

> Typical, crowd surf as usual.

> 6. The E Street Shuffle
> 7. 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
> 8. Kitty's Back
> 9. WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY
> 10. Incident On 57th Street
> 11. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight
> 12. NEW YORK CITY SERENADE

> What can I say?  It was other-worldly.  Just magical, particularly
> NYCS.  The strings, the piano, everything.  Rosie was a little off
> kilter in my book.  It's a show stopper, it's just odd in the middle
> of a set.  Otherwise, the whole album was just amazing.

> 13. Waiting on a Sunny Day
> 14. Raise your Hand-You Sexy Thing
> 15. Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?
> 16. Glory Days
> 17. Human Touch
> 18. Lonesome Day
> 19. The Rising
> 20. Born to Run

> Very standard, playing to the casual fans who were bored for the
> previous 45 minutes, I suppose.

> 21. Wrecking Ball

> What?  Why?  Awful.  I've never seen an encore fall flatter.  A
> resounding thud, despite a Clyde Frazier mention.

> 22. Bobby Jean
> 23. American Land
> 24. Dancing in the Dark

> Again very standard.  Bruce danced with his sister, who was sitting
> about 10 seats away from me with their Mom.  That was a very genuine
> moment.

> 25. Higher & Higher (with Elvis Costello)

> Fantastic version, lots of fun.  Elvis took the first verse.  Kind of
> a waste of a great guest spot, but whaddaya gonna do?

> I was really expecting another one after H&H, but I was satisfied.
> Just hearing WIESS live was worth every penny and every ounce of
> effort.

> SEEN IN THE PIT: Artie Lange (with Ralph Cirella and Robin Quivers),
> Clarence's son, Pat Reilly, Tom Coliccio.

> BIGGEST ASSHOLE OF THE NIGHT: The doofus in the pit that held up huge
> "New York City Serenade" sign for 3/4 of the show, including DURING
> the song as well as in the encores.

> CLOSE RUNNER UP: The doofus that held a "LONG BLACK VEIL" sign in
> Bruce's face for all of "Born To Run".
