Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland (Live in Madison Square Garden, New York City 2001)

In an unusual turn of events, this will actually be my second show on this tour. I was at a concert in Los Angeles earlier this year. He has a nice tribute to the fallen band members, Danny and Clarence, though I think Danny gets a little bit of a short shrift. I may be alone in this, but I think Danny's organ and accordion are just as emblematic of Springsteen as Clarence's saxophone. I love the organ in Jungleland and the accordion in Sandy, among others.

I really like that he didn't just replace those two, and instead recreated and changed the band. I'm a fan of the addition of the horn section, and it doesn't elicit comparisons. It was a great move.

According to patteeu's link, he's played it once on this concert. That would really be a good one to hear live.

He also played Growin' Up twice on the tour. I tend to link those songs stylistically and think they were the best ones on the Asbury Park album.

Any sax is good sax

Are you going to the concert or was this thread just a random thought?

I just had a thought,seeing that Bruce cancelled the last KC show due to the unfortunate death of his cousin and it is a Saturday night,maybe we're in for one of those I'm A Rocker,Out In The Streets,Born To Run with The Spirits In The Night reliving the Glory Days of My Hometown with Rosalita in Jungleland Dancing In The Dark till The Light Of Day shows. :)

LOL Whatever you're in for, I'm sure it will end up being a good show.

Guarantee we got a one and only opening as he did Kansas City with the band and it was fantastic.Not only that he a actually played Light Of Day PBJ

Bump for Rainman,enjoy tonight :toast:

Yeah, have fun. And remember, if things get crazy on the floor, just get up on someone's shoulders and flash your boobies and people will leave you alone.

I'm going to take the afternoon off and head over to the lottery to see if I can get up next to the stage. And if it helps my chances, I'm not afraid to show a little nipple.

I have no idea what the odds are of getting next to the stage. You have to have floor tickets, and you have to show up early and basically kill three hours to do it. I wonder how many floor tickets are sold, and how many people show up for the lottery?

How was the KC show?

Outstanding except his 7:30 show started about 8:20

He made up for it though

A.Opened with Kansas City and it was two thumbs way up
B.Played a solid three hours
C.Performed Santa Claus Is Coming To Town


But most of all...
He played Light Of Day PBJ

Awesome. I do enjoy Light of Day, and the Santa Claus one would be cool, too.

He was more than an hour late in the LA concert I saw this last year. I wish they would get their act together better on that. I understand starting a few minutes late, but an hour or more is disrespectful of the audience.

I've seen him four times and he's been at least that late every time.

BTW,the mrs told me that was CC's nephew playing sax,he was awesome,The Big Man would be proud.
