Los Angeles 27th April 2012 - show 18


Staying put today.


The show started really late tonight but as most of us will have already heard and Newjersey.com confirms...

...  Bruce gave the early arrivals a treat when at 7:35 p.m. (Pacific Time), he  came out to the stage with many of his relatives (some who he introduced) and  did a solo acoustic "For You."

This from the OC Weekly gives us a bit more of a clue about the late start and another positive perspective on Bruce's popularity.

Bruce Springsteen is the most believable rock 'n' roll megastar alive. He makes you feel like a working-class hero even if you parked your BWM for $40.  He exudes that kind of authenticity. It's so magnetic that suddenly you're him, singing about shuttered factory towns, probably in Ohio, which is the gist of his most recent (17th) album, Wrecking Ball, songs from which he played early on in the set...


...And that's the best part about seeing Springsteen. You can tell The Boss isn't an asshole boss. He loves the people on stage, loves the people in the seats. The people in the seats love fist-pumping and they love Bruce, and he loves that. Sure, the house sound wasn't that good, that the show started late because people couldn't get through the gates fast enough, and that the cheap seats cost $100.

All that didn't matter because Bruce was on.
