“The Boss” Fires up lively crowd at Arco Arena
April 7th, 2008 categories: Events
“Bruuuce!” “Bruuuce!”… sounded the appreciative Sacramento audience in answer to Springsteens’ jeers, “Sacramento!”. Everyone seemed to be having a great time this past Friday as they danced and sang to their favorite Bruce Springsteen tunes.
We didn’t hesitate to accept the two free tickets so generously offered to us earlier that Friday. Who would? I mean Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band are living legends. They are the real deal. We were happy to drive the 85 miles from Chico to see this show. Known for playing non-stop marathon shows lasting as long as 4 and 5 hours, we were treated to about 2.5 hours of both, classic and new music.
“Here’s to the end of eight bad years of magic tricks”, proclaimed the progressive Jersey rocker to the receptive middle aged crowd. I’m not sure that everyone got it, but they cheered anyway.
The strange thing was the guitarist who looked just like Silvio from the Sopranos TV show. Fortunately though, nobody got wacked… except, for maybe the overly enthusiastic couple seated next to us. They were definitely having a good time! We enjoyed it, too. Thanks for the tickets, Sue!
