“Hello Neighbors!”

“Hello Neighbors!”, with these words Springsteen greeted the crowd at the IZOD Center tonight. Hell… No Springsteen fan calls it the IZOD Center I guess… We all still call it the Meadowlands Arena. But I knew right then, I was gonna be in for a hell of a show.

Didn’t have the best seat in the house, but there were a lot of people outside desperately looking for a ticket that didn’ get in. So I was happy to be part of it.

Hearin’ songs like Something in the Night and Cover Me live for the 1st time in my life was quite emotional. But Working on a Dream moved me to tears. That song just brings out the best and the worst in me: hope and doubt at the same time. Double this time because of the rap he did.

When Bruce yelled: “The Turnpike is closed! Nowone gets out!” during the encores, you knew that the party was about to start. Flabbergasted was I.

I gotta hurry home and get my ass over to Pinkpop for another dose of pleasure and pain.
