I've never been a huge Sprinsteen fan. I like some of his songs and he's one of the best lyricists I've ever seen, but a lot of his songs sound the same to me musically. I have always knows that he's a great performer, but I've never seen him live.
Until last night.
Holy Shit was I unprepared for that. Over 3 hours without a break - often calling out the beat to start the next song on the last chord of the previous one. A 6 song encore. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
I get it now.
Same. We saw him a few years ago when he was doing The River live. It was awesome. I still don't listen to him regularly, and I didn't know most of it, but it was still an excellent show. His interactions with fans were delightful.

Welcome to the club! I had the same experience 44 years ago in Philly.
