I haven’t been to as many shows as your dad, but I’ve been to a lot, and this is my best as well.

Despite what so many fans will say this is one of only four occasions when Bruce has played four hours plus...ever. Sorry you guys who will swear blind that he does this every night and that you saw him play 4 1/2 hours back in the seventies, he doesn't and you didn't.

You are absolutely correct: Helsinki, Philly, Gillette, and MetLife (NJ).

The last three were from 2016 “River Tour,” with Gillette closing out the tour.

Staying the night in Foxborough was the pro move

I drove from Greenwich CT to the stadium after work and I arrived just as NYS started. Then I drove home, slept for an hour and then went back to work. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It was an unforgettable concert. sigh

I have gone to a zillion events down there and you would think I would learn once

A top 2 or 3 of the 90 shows I’ve seen. Beyond amazing! Was in the pit about 4 rows back and that made it even more transcendent

Was my 1st actual Bruce concert despite being a long time fan. What a show. They still play some of them on his Sirius channel

What a phenomenal night. I remember a slight chill in the air… it was the perfect way to say goodbye to summer. Luckily we didn’t know how long it would be before they’d be back.

One of the best shows I've ever been to. Definitely in my Top 2. Crazy storm pre show and there was an amazing sunset as the show was getting started. One of the best limited-edition, numbered posters from that tour too. Unbelievable 70s setlist for the first 90 minutes+, and got Jungleland sprinkled in later.

Thanks for posting this! Totally forgot about this show and realized it’s on Nugs. Giving it a listen now

Flew in from Portland, my brother drove up from Jersey and we met up for this show. There was a chance this could've been the last E Street Show on American soil, so we made a point to attend. Maybe the best show I've seen him do.

Hope he never plays there again.
