The Boss

I've seen Courtney Love rip her dress off at Lollapalooza. I've walked out of a Ministry concert with two black eyes and a bloody nose. I surfed the pit at rage Against The Machine. I have even partied with the Blood Hound Gang after a show, but none of those moments compare to moment when you see Bruce Springsteen preform live.

After a very moving tribute to Danny Federici, he rocked out like no man has rocked out before. It was spiritual. He is by far, the greatest live performer I have ever seen and he and the E Street Band have more talent on their pinky finger then all of the manufactured boy bands and pop princess' combined. Then when Roger McGuinn of The Byrds came out to jam "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Mr. Tambourine Man", I teared up.

There are some people you need to see live before you've lost your chance. I am thrilled I had the opportunity to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
