Backstreets. com 2. Setlists. September 3. Air Canada Centre Toronto, ONThere is always, for me at least, a certain feeling one gets on the day of a Bruce Springsteen show, and the Invictus Games Closing Ceremony was no exception. I knew in the back of my mind it would be an abbreviated set, likely acoustic, but that didnt matter. It was an opportunity to see Bruce perform once again, as I didnt have the luck, or the funds, to obtain tickets for the upcoming Broadway performances. Making our way to the Air Canada Centre, it was clear that this was not going to be an ordinary show night, with a security perimeter setup around the entire arena. Not surprising, considering the dignitaries in attendance included Invictus Games patron HRH Prince Harry, Vice President and Mrs. Biden, and Mme Trudeau, our Prime Ministers wife. As we entered the arena, we were handed a program which outlined the ceremony and included bios of all the performers. It was a bit of a shock to see that Bruce was not listed as the final act of the night that honor went to Bachman Turner. Also on the bill Coeur de Pirate, Kelly Clarkson, and Bryan Adams. While I thought that scheduling was unusual, I was certain there would be a surprise or two as the evening progressed. After the parade of athletes and a few other announcements before the television audience joined the proceedings, it was off to the races. Sound issues in my section  the upper confines of the arena did not resolve themselves as the evening progressed, unfortunately, and it was clear the sound was being mixed for the tellyvision broadcast and not for the live concert. But an hour or so in, there was no mistaking the chorus of Bruuuuce that greeted our man as he stood solo, center stage, acoustic guitar at the ready.

The second song, The Promised Land was absolutely sublime, and Bruce appeared to get emotional and lose himself in the moment. Last we were instructed by the Boss to put on our dancing shoes as he busted out Dancing in the Dark. Another odd choice, I thought, but this collection of songs could be top of mind for him as potential arrangements for the upcoming Broadway run. Before you knew it, Bruces acoustic performance was over. Quick, but enjoyable despite the sound issues. Surely this wouldnt be the last we would see of him this evening, I thought and fortunately I was right. After Bryan Adams finished playing his smash hit Sumer of 6. The Boss and they launched into a full band version of Cuts Like a Knife. This was the first time I had ever witnessed Bruce wearing in ear monitors which were non existent during the acoustic set. Springsteen had performed the song acoustically himself a few years back, but this was a chance to see him let loose on the songs standard rock arrangement, sharing vocals with Adams. Springsteen stayed on stage for one more song as Bryan explained it was time to return the favor and play one of Bruces tunes. What followed was an impressive version of Badlands, complete with chanting from the Bruce centric crowd.

Kudos to Bryans harmony vocals, and to his band for stepping into some very large E Street Band shoes and doing the song justice. There was no sax player to be had, so the sax solo was replaced with guitar solos. The crowd continued the whoa oh oh ohs as the song concluded and as HRH Prince Harry took the stage to embrace and thank both Bruce and Bryan. Alas, this wasnt a concert but a ceremony that was being televised, so strict timelines needed to be adhered to. In the Princes address to the athletes and crowd, he had mentioned that the atheletes had asked him last year to get Bruce for the closing ceremonies, so he proved to be a man good to his wordFilmography, television appearances, and a profile.

The final act was the iconic BachmanTurner. Unfortunately that did not include a surprise guest appearance from Bruce, but it was fun nonetheless as they performed a medley of some of their greatest hits, finishing with Takin Care of Business which I thought would be right up Bruces alley, but it was not to be. As we made our way out, we were wishing some U. K. team members a safe flight home and also had the opportunity to stop and speak to one of our Canadian athletes, Jay, who was proudly sporting his bronze medal he had won earlier in the week. We shook his hand, thanked him for his service and sacrifice to our country, and told him how proud we were of him. He spoke of how he wanted to continue in some fashion with the Invictus movement, and I can certainly understand why. Invictus is latin for unconquered. It was amazing to witness these amazing athletes, many with horrific injuries suffered in service to their respective countries. With all due respect to Bruce and the other performers, to me that was the highlight of the evening. Romantic Movies 2009 Rubber Johnny Music VideoJoe Cormier reporting.

September 2. 1 PNC Bank Arts Center Holmdel, NJThe Jewish New Year is all about starting over, hoping for a sweet year. Thursday night at PNC it was all about Sweet Melissa, and although the event is called the Laid Back Festival, there was nothing laid back about it especially when Bruce Springsteen joined in. And how sweet it was. Shana Tovah to all The late Gregg Allman founded the Fest, and certainly his presence was felt in spirited sets by Peter Wolf, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, and Jackson Browne. Free Download Up Movie. This last night of summer belonged to memories of Gregg, with Browne doing a wonderful Sweet Melissa and Steven covering the Allmans classic Its Not My Cross to Bear. But this being Jersey, of course, and with Springsteens birthday right around the corner, what else could he do but place a cherry on top of a wonderful evening under the stars in Holmdel. After his own set, Peter Wolf joined joined Stevie for a romp through Freeze Frame with the Disciples of Soul the title track of the J. Geils Bands number one album and one would have thought the 8. It was a highlight of an evening filled with pure joy. The Disciples, including Jersey fave Eddie Manion on tenor sax, were on fire, even on a one off like Its Not My Cross to Bear. As always, they tore up the place with their 9. The Basie and Steven promised a Christmas show there later this year. But what is Christmas without Santa. Jersey guy, in the midst of his own Broadway rehearsals, jumped on stage for Its Been a Long Time and Tenth Avenue Freeze out, the latter treated as a duet. Bruce had been sitting in section 1. He actually told a woman sitting next to me, whom sees him at the gym a few times a week, See ya tomorrow From here, Steven and his band head out on a trek across North America and Europe. Jackson Browne asked if this was still the Garden State Arts Center part of the epic Running on Empty was recorded here, and he opened his set with You Love the Thunder as a tribute to that night 4. Other standouts with his fantastic band were The Pretender and my personal favorite Redneck Friend, which I had not hear Browne sing in years Honey you shake, Ill rattle, well roll on down the line. Jackson was joined by Steven for his classic I Am a Patriot, adding some very timely lyrics about racism, bigotry, and current events. You could see the joy in their strut, revisiting this epic song together as on the 2. Vote for Change tour.
