Looks like 90 shows this year, pretty ambitious. Esp when you consider 2016 was around 75. Covid casualties this week were Steve Nils Suzie and Patti.... hope they feel better, think Houston is tonight. Will it be Bruce only on guitar??
Both Night and Priest played tonight. Now they just gotta lose the waste of space covers and there's room for Janey and a few others too then we got a show
Tony...... pretty bummed we're losing BTX, where do we go from here??
The BTX message board is still open and there hasn't been a date set for closure. You can still hang there for now. Going forward; I don't know.
Needless to say, I'm seriously bummed about the demise of Backstreets. I was expecting to be on the tour and my plans were thrown into a tizzy. As it stands now, I don't even have a ticket for any show. That hasn't happened since 1977! There was a moment on the BTX board that I consider the moment that bridged the void between the virtual and the real that happened at Giants Stadium coming up on 20 years ago. I am currently planning a sequel to that blowout (we had over 250 people from all over the world at the original) that has the moniker of Son Of Ribgate. It will be help sometime during the Labor Day weekend run of shows (some still to be announced). Anybody from Viva that wants to attend will be welcome.
BTX will never die in mine and many other's hearts.
Yeah Tony you're the first person I thought of.... such a bummer..I'm still on the board and will remain active as long as it's there. I hear there are shows still to add and am hoping to catch one of the Jersey ones. Right now im doing Albany Buffalo and Montreal for lil Stevens birthday. I'd hit Syracuse too but will be out of town. Hope to catch up with ya
Thanks for posting this. I've actually never seen Bruce and I'm now in for SF in December.
I took one look at the prices for the SF show and closed my browser. I will go outside day of and see if i can't get in for cheap, but I am not paying what Bruce is asking.
Dynamic pricing is dropping to serious lows right before the show. Tulsa and KC were selling for cheaper than a soda just before showtime. Lowest I've seen is 4$
Those lows are not showing up on TM. They have set a bottom low in pricing if you buy tickets there. The low ticket prices are to be found on places like Stubhub and their like. With all this manipulation of ticket prices going on, I find myself shaking my head often. I am curious if those low ticket prices show up in major markets coming up. I guess time will tell.
I bet in the cities with multiple stadium shows they will... the lowest TM price drop I saw for Tulsa was 89$. Initial on sale dynamic pricing is lower this round so far
I kept checking TM for MSG this Saturday and found two tickets stage left, markedly lower than most of the other seats. Still spendy but decided to pull the trigger as I've never seen Bruce.
I'm scared to death of the Springsteen Boomer crowd and have the foreboding feeling that I'll be seated next to someone singing Glory Days at the top of their lungs, while filming on their oversized iPhone. We will see.
Don't worry about it, there will be idiots just like any other show but there are great people there too...I just saw Buffalo in the pit, was great as usual
It looks like my only show on this tour will be on Sept. 3rd. Times have changed.
As for fear of "Springsteen Boomers," I agree with fishcane. Just roll with it, no more, no less than most Dead related shows I've been to over the past few decades.

That would actually be a plus if he’s the only guitar. Bruce is a phenomenal guitarist whose ability is rarely heard. He’s got chops.

Fun night at the Garden last night. I'm not a huge Bruce guy but had fun taking it all in. I love Little Steven and Max so it was great to see them.
Macca was grooving out over in Sec 108.
