Magic ...in South Philadelphia (In the Mix)

Magic ...in South Philadelphia

In case you haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band are at the Wachovia Center tonight and tomorrow. So maybe something magical will happen in South Philadelphia this week, after all. It's the Boss and E Streeters' first time through town since 2003, and the second stop on the tour for Magic , which came out Tuesday.

Just to give you a taste, here's a "Thunder Road" clip from back in the day, 1976 according to the nonspecific YouTube sourcing, with an excellent Jersey guy ad lib: "You ain't a beauty, but hey.. who is?" We'll have to wait until tonight to see if Springsteen is still up for sliding like this on his 58 year old knees...

Steve:

Dan, your review missed the mark. If you have a bias against Springsteen, get someone else to attend the show and write the review.

Bruce and the E-Street Band were ON FIRE!!!
This was my 17th Springsteen concert and it clearly ranks at the top of the list. It was TOTALLY AMAZING!!
