I thought he was great. The song selection, energy and showmanship all first rate. It had a carnival, circus vibe going on. Appropriate for the venue I think.
I thought he was trying to distill his "shtick" into a very limited time span. Maybe he was trying too hard but I thought it went off pretty well considering..... I particularly liked the horn work.
Is it just me or has Bruce developed the "Bob Dylan" syndrome in the last few years?
I remember back in 1975 in a issue of Playboy, the article referred to him as the next Bob Dylan.
I, too, thought his vocal range was straining He could not hold the notes. I saw him on T-giving night in 1978 in StL at Keil Opera House (Born to Run tour)and it was the most energetic show I have seen to date. 4 straight hours of hard slamming live music.

Nope, it's not just you. I saw him on Storytellers or one of those types of shows recently and couldn't understand a word he said. Plus he's become way too political for my tastes.
