Bruce at SPAC August 25, 2009

So my sister and I headed up to Saratoga Performing Arts Center to see Bruce. First a few complaints about SPAC, since I only went once last year for the Police show, and brought my snack with me - when did SPAC get so incredibly expensive? what I mean is more like such an stinkin rip off? we got one burger, one chicken tender and 2 sodas for 32 dollars. Wow. I will remember that for next time. Ok so the second comment about SPAC is that it seems so small and crappy after having gone to Bethel Woods earlier in the season - everything is relative I guess.

Ok, now on to Bruce.
What can you say? He was fantastic, as always, and on a beautiful August night under the stars - it was amazing. About a hundred times more enjoyable than the spring show at the TU Center...and Jay Weinberg is tons of energy on the kit.

He had first pulled a teenage girl up on stage to dance with him ala courney cox during Dancing... then a lady a little bit older, like 60....she was hugging and kissing him, it was a riot. Who wouldn't be????

I was really lucky, cause I found the bootleg of it - a great recording. That was one great show.
