Well I can't tell you anything about Vernon except (if I have the right place) the population is only around 5000 - now that's a small place!
I got the above photo from here. The photographer was at the Vernon concert and gives this advice:-
If you ever get a chance to see Bruce and the E Street Band, GO! It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
There's a long review here. Interestingly the writer (Jim Catalano a music reviewer) also went to the Buffalo show early on in the tour and mentions that lasted 2 Hours 40 minutes. How things have changed!
Jim puts this show among the best he has ever seen. A theme which runs through most of the reviews I have read over the last few months.
As soon as the show ended, my ears were ringing, my legs were sore and my back was stiff. It’s funny how I didn’t even notice that at any point during the preceding 3.5 hours. This was the 10th Springsteen show I’ve seen (all but one since the 1999 E Street reunion), and it replaces the 2003 Darien Lake show and the 2007 “Magic” tour stop in Albany at the top of my list.
... overall, I don’t think a Bruce Springsteen fan could ask for much more than the show he delivered at Vernon Downs last night.
We really are privileged to have been at some of the shows this tour but we are never quite satisfied are we ?
From the same review:-
(....And I still remain hopeful of someday catching a show with “Thundercrack,” “Sherry Darling” or “Valentine’s Day”!)
So here's the set list
Frankie and Backstreets would've made my night. At the beginning of this tour I can't say I ever had any expectation of hearing Frankie. Backstreets was a better bet, and as one of my favourites, I'm disappointed to have missed it - as I said earlier we are never quite satisfied!
I put a YouTube clip of Frankie up from the Boston show but not with this intro so no apologies for picking this song again. Featuring the lovely Soozie for Mike who has a cold and is feeling a bit rough today.
