The Bruce

Went to the Springsteen show a little while ago. Erin and I had general admission seats at the LA Sports Arena. So, the system is come early, get a wrist band with a number on it, one of the numbers is drawn and then that number goes in first - basically getting first crack at the best spot in the pit.

Erin and I got there around 4:30 and had wrist bands #574 and 575. About thirty minutes later they line us up by our number and about an hour later they pick a number. They told us only 600 get into the pit. They drew #2. So we would be nearly the last ones in. At least we weren't the 200 who came early and didn't get in.

The show was fantastic as usual. Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, The Night Watchman) played guitar on The Ghost of Tom Joad and was awesome. It was a repeat of the Anaheim show from last year and well worth it. We ended up really close to the stage but not crazy close. Only 4 songs from the new album made it in the set, only 2 of those were good and basically nothing from the last album. Still worth the ticket but I'm going to have a hard time convincing Erin to line up 4 hours early again.
