Pittsburgh 29th October 2012 - show 72

The designer of the Ferris Wheel - Mr George Ferris - was from Pittsburgh

So where would you love to go to see Bruce? New Jersey? New York? Scandinavia?  Well, as a Joe Grushecky fan, high up on Mike's wish list must be Pittsburg.  The review from Timesonline.com tells us

 ... As always in Pittsburgh, Springsteen called onto the stage his pal, local rocker Joe Grushecky, who along with guitar-slinging son Johnny Grushecky, pitched in on a couple of encore tunes, including “Glory Days.” 

Apparently Garry had his moment during Glory Days. He ... danced with a female fan who had been holding a sign in his honor.  It was his birthday after all.

“This is very unusual,” Springsteen said, quipping, “I’ve never actually seen Garry move.”

Backstreets review remarks that the night was heavy on the Darkness songs - no bad thing of course but in complete contrast to Hartford which featured a lot of River era songs.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette seemed suitably impressed with the show.  Early on it's article says:-

he ... raised the roof at Consol in what may have been the most joyful and rousing show of the many he's done here.
Springsteen, at 63, is going through some sort of superhuman phase of his career, where he's taken what was already the Greatest Show on Earth (sorry Ringling) and ratcheted it up several notches. (That wasn't gushing now, was it?)

and the final paragraph:-

If you didn't know any better, you'd think Bruce was running for president. Good thing he's not because he's a lot more valuable moving people on a much deeper level. Let's hope he keeps rolling for a long time to come.
