We received our tickets in the mail to see "The Boss" - a.k.a. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. He's coming to Tulsa on April 7th to play our newly opened BOK Center and Colleen, I, and our dear friends Ron & Margaret are going. We've got pretty good seats too, thanks to another buddy of mine, who is in The Biz.
Springsteen is one of those acts that I've wanted to see for quite a while. I've liked his music for some time, but became a HUGE fan after the release of his album, "The Rising" - one of my favorites of all time. For those who haven't listened, The Boss wrote and recorded it after 9/11, and it is full of incredible heart rendering songs, some of which are spiritual, others terribly poignant, and yet others upbeat and hopeful. A masterpiece in my opinion.
I'm sure his upcoming concert will also feature many of his greatest hits. Among my favorites are Glory Days, Born in the U.S.A., Born to Run, and Dancing in the Dark. I'm also hopeful he'll include songs from his last couple of albums - Magic and Working on a Dream.
In a recent interview before his appearance at the Super Bowl, Springsteen said he thought he and the E Street Band were, currently, and for their last three records (the above 2 and The Rising) playing the best they ever have. As a fan, I agree.
I can't wait. I've been fortunate to see a lot of big name acts over the years, but I am REALLY looking forward to this one.
