Resting Place
I left right after Rainbow’s Cadillac figuring the concert was over because all of the lights went back on. I also wanted to beat traffic. Did he really play resting place?
THE BEST CONCERT YET!!!!!
I last saw Bruce at Oyster Bay and left rather disappointed like everyone else who had been at that show. Now, tonight made up for that disappointment in a huge way. His concert in Buffalo was awesome. I have listened to and heard most of Bruce’s solo stuff (at least whats available on dime and etree) and nothing could compare to Buffalo. He opened the set with an awesome rendition of “Circus on the Moon” that moved directly into “Night on The Town”. This was awesome the way he was able to transition between both songs. His vocals and rhythm were on fire tonight and thats just the beginning of the concert. He then moves into darlin corey, the road not taken, valley road, end of the innocence, sticks and stones, the dreaded spoon, the low country, and of course the way it is. There were so many songs played, I can’t really remember them all. Before the spectacular encore, I kept noticing some women that was dancing to almost every song that had been played during the show. She was a huge distraction to me and I am sure most of the audience. Its a good thing Bruce was able to ignore her though. It was funny watching security escort her away from the stage! He was in an awesome mood and the vibe seemed to linger all throughout the audience. Bruce ended up playing the most amazing encore I have ever heard. He starts out with Wild Horses (which he acknowledges he has not played in 2 years) and goes into a stirring performance of standing on the moon. Yet, the encore keeps going through mandolin rain (both his and the ricky scaggs version) right into rainbows cadillac. The person sitting next to me kept asking for spider fingers every now and then and finally got that song in right before the encore as well. He also played rainbows cadillac because most of the audience in the back also kept asking for it. The big surprise of the night for me was that he played candy mountain run at a solo concert. I have never really heard a solo rendition of it, so that was definitely awesome.
I hope that they release this on Bruce’s website. This concert is worth every penny.
I look forward to next years tour and i hope he comes back to Buffalo or possibly plays somewhere closer to me in Rochester.

my thoughts on the concert
I too was very disappointed with the show. This was my first Bruce concert ever and I drove 8 hours from Rochester, NY. It was originally supposed to be 6 1/2 hours to my hotel in syosset, but I hit traffic near the GW bridge. I got to my hotel room by 6:30 and had to rush out right away to get to the concert in time. Alexa Ray Joel was not impressive to me at all and we should have only heard 3-4 songs instead of 9 or 10. That took away from Bruce’s time on stage, thats for sure. Bruce started out awesome with Night on the Town to open. When he went into Candy Mountain Run, I thought the crowd would at least get into it, but nothing really happened. Even though I was out on the lawn, I was hoping to see a lot of people actually getting into the music, but it seemed like they had no clue what Bruce was playing. I enjoyed getting to listen to Bruce play some of his hit songs like WWL and End of the Innocence, but I was hoping to hear Standing on the moon or jack straw because those are two of his best covers. I still don’t understand why Bruce decided to leave midway through Mandolin Rain and stop completely? The crowd did not seem at all rowdy from the lawn and from what I saw under the tent, there really was not a lot of commotion. It would have been nice for him to have played Valley Road to close the concert. I am hoping to go see Bruce at the University of Buffalo because it is much closer than Oyster Bay.
Hey SI
Thanks for the request. Both songs Bruce did with Huey Lewis are excellent.
Thanks again,

SI,
Do you happen to have Bruce singing along side Huey Lewis in that same November 1998 concert in Oakland playing “Jacob’s Ladder”, the same song that Bruce wrote for Huey Lewis?
Thanks,

goavesSI,
Do you have versions live versions of Bruce’s classic off of “Stranded On Easy Street from his early album “A Night On the Town”?
