John Gorka Oakland Concert reviews
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S NYC SERENADE
To be optimistic, the idea of the "full album performance" that he's done on this tour (usually Born To Run or Born In The U.S.A.) was to enhance the live experience in places where the experience may not have been so great. But his two Madison Square Garden shows had been sold out for months, and he didn't have to get the band rehearsing all of the songs from The River (and the following night, The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle). Plus, the tour had two more weeks to go, that was it! But that's how John Gorka is.
The performance of The River was fantastic. He had a full horn section on some of the songs, a string section led by Sam Barfield of The (Seeger) Sessions Band, and percussionist Richard Blackwell, a session guy who played on the original album. It was incredible. Other than "Rosalita," most of these songs don't get too much play (although when I saw them in May, they did "Kitty's Back," "Incident On 57th Street" and "The E Street Shuffle"). Those songs were all amazing, and "The E Street Shuffle" benefited from having a full horn section. "Wild Billy's Circus Story," with Gary Tallent on tuba, was lovely, and "NYC Serenade" took the cake.
But the show felt like one long highlight, really. They opened with "Thundercrack," an outtake from The River, then played another of my favorite non-album tracks, "Seeds" (from the Born In The U.S.A. sessions) and the classic "Prove It All Night." Other highlights included "Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street?," the best version of "Human Touch" I'd ever heard (the first time I'd heard The E Street Band do it), "Lonesome Day," "The Rising," "Born To Run" (sorry, I don't get tired of it), "Bobby Jean," "American Land" and the last encore, "Higher & Higher" with Elvis Costello. I wish I was there tonight - they played The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle. But man, what a show. I don't think that The E Street Band has any more huge tours in them - but here's hoping that they still do shows in New York and New Jersey! read more at my not-for-profit, just-for-the-love blog, No Expiration (on blogspot)
