Hartford 25th October 2012 - show 71

In Hartford, you may not, under any circumstances, cross the street walking on your hands!

Stan Goldstein has this to say:- 

Thursday night, at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., was one of those magical Springsteen shows where I felt as though it was 1980 again and I was listening to "The River" for the first time...

It's nights like this when Bruce Springsteen makes you feel you're 21 again.

His  full review is a good read.  

The Sunny Day incident must have been a great moment, although I'm not sure whether Bruce enjoyed it too much.

Bruce saw a sign ("Can We Sing with You") off to the side of the stage in the seating area and told them he was going to come up over to them. He tried to climb up into the stands, it was a good way up, but some other rambunctious fans who were trying to get pictures were blocking his way despite his best efforts and efforts of his security team. He then gave up. "Sex crazed old ladies" he yelled out. He then find a child to sing along with him

When he got back to the center stage he said "I had a Tom Jones' moment there!"

Obviously the 'old ladies' didn't take any notice when Bruce warned You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch) a little earlier in the set list!!

This review ends on a high note:- 

While so much more could be said about this performance, even a stenographic record of each moment could not adequately capture the sheer energy and power that blew into the XL Center during this latest, and hopefully far from last, appearance by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band.
