I would rather see if he has a discarded wrapper from the Jersey Freeze in his backseat. I would rather have a sneak peek at Bruce’s linen closet and just see how messy it is. But with things like this I just always have it in my mind that they’re showing you the memorabilia and artifacts that the Bruce Springsteen machine wants you to see. Because he’s a fallible human being, just like the rest of us. After all, that’s why we’ve always loved him. Most of us won’t be in awe of seeing the reality of his penmanship and how he writes like a human being just like the rest of us. You’ll see autographed guitars.Īll well and good, but I feel like this is really playing to only the most obsessive Bruce Springsteen fan. Be Bruce for a moment so to speak.Īnd there are also exhibits such as the “Tunnel of Love” ticket booth stage prop. Such as where you can create your own encore by looking through his past set-lists and then designing your own. What it is is more or less a memorabilia exhibit. Its part of the ongoing Grammy Experience at Prudential. Because, you know, that’s what it says? So it might be petty but I feel like they could have picked a better name. “Drive All Night” is one of the most beautiful love songs I ever heard.īut what’s with this Brice Springsteen Live! event?įirst of all, if someone just handed a casual fan tickets to the Prudential Center that said Bruce Springsteen Live! on it, you might be tricked into thinking you were actually seeing Springsteen live. The desperation of “State Trooper” takes my breath away.
The woeful yet hopeful crescendo of “Jungleland” can bring me to painful tears.
