Bruuuuuuuuuuuce!

We were fortunate enough to go see Bruce Springsteen last night with some friends.  The show was pretty amazing.  He played for 3:45 hours without a break.  The last set of encores lasted more than 45 minutes and finished with "Twist and Shout."  Along the way we had lots of music from his newer albums, including Wrecking Ball and Rise Up, all of which have a kind of almost evangelical, preacher quality, but in the end he went back to his roots and played the old hard rock classics -- Badlands, Thunder Road and, of course, Born to Run.

Here's a photo from our seats -- note the light pole that gave us an obstructed view:





And here is a very poor quality video of a number at the end when the lights came up.  If you can't tell, it is Devil With the Blue Dress:
