The natural progression to Babytweety2yo’s “How many years have you been a a Bruce fan?” Is…..How many Bruce shows have you been to?
I’ve been to 53!
There are several of you that have me beat! Road Scholars sign in!

I’ve been to 4 and an upcoming 5th in January. Bruce just gets better all the time…so I never get tired of it!

Is it 23?
Am I close? As a “Global moderator”, it’s your “fiduciary duty” to let us know! 😆

What is your “quality”? 😆

Lake Lanier, GAI’ve only been to 3 so far. I was hoping to make it 4 this year, but that seems unlikely now.
How I envy all those who have Bruce playing in their “back yard”.
I haven’t been to very many Bruce shows but each one has been memorable
. I first saw Bruce at a festival in my hometown called Freedom Weekend Aloft in 1992 with my soon to be wife. Next, I saw Bruce at the Biltmore House in 2004, shortly after Halcyon Days came out. It was very different than the first show with all of the Deadhead converts there . The last time was in 2006 at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. It was my first solo piano concert and I had an excellent seat. The show was awesome and the ending especially was unique (David D. will know what I mean 😆 ). I hope to see Bruce when he comes to the Peace Center this spring, but I will have to see how my $$$ is doing. So after all of that, I have been to 3 Bruce shows so far…

At least you weren’t yelling for Bruce to play “Freebird” 😆

There are several of you that have me beat! [/list:u:48661]Nope… not even close. I think my number is at an even dozen. It could go a bit higher if you were to include the accidental Hornsby sit-in back in the early 90s at a Bruce Cockburn show in Richmond, or the Leon Russell show at the same venue (The Flood Zone, RIP) a month or so later (when Bruce was producing Leon’s album). I think most of us spent our hard-earned $5 in the anticipation of Bruce showing up and playing, but he just hung out over on the side at a table and listened to Leon and chatted with a few moderately starstruck folks. Heck, he even stayed off the stage when Leon started playing Stranded On Easy Street and the crowd was chanting for him. In hindsight, it was very cool of him not to hog the spotlight of one of his heroes!

PS: Here’s an odd little trivia question that helps fill in yet another line in the “6 Degrees” game if you were trying to connect Bruce Hornsby with The Beatles…. What was the hit record that was recorded on Apple Records (owned by The Beatles) which featured a fairly prominent piano part and solo played by guest-artist Leon Russell? It was a studio recording, so you can’t throw in the Bangladesh concert recordings! For those of you who were regular listeners to top 40 radio in the early ’70s, you’ve probably heard this piano part thousands of times and might not have ever thought it was Leon Russell (of course, who knew it was him on The Monster Mash?). OK… start them guesses…

OK… start them guesses…Well, we had one guess. Pretty good guess, too. However, the answer is… “Day After Day” by Badfinger. George Harrison produced the track while he was putting the Bangladesh concert together, and even played slide guitar on that recording. Since Leon was one of his buds, he roped him into playing piano on that song.
