I stood outside The Bottom Line club (NYC) in '75 but couldn't hear anything!

First saw him in '76 in a theater. We had split tixs; my sis & her boyfriend in one set, I, and their other friend who was becoming my friend (shared interests). You could cut rhe excitement w a butter knife. We turned to each other. We weren't that excited.
By rhe end of their opener "Night"; we were raving fans!!! 😄
🎤🎵🎶🎸

Seen him around ?18 times. In fact I went back the next night; got a scalpers tix for 50$ (top price was 7.50$). 4th row seats!

MSG x times. Conn, maaaybe Philly, NJ (then) Brendan Byrne Arena, several times. Giants Stadium x times. Went out to the old Shea Std to stand and listen couldn't afford tix; but someone left 1/3 way through and gave me their tix!

I think the last time was 2009. I had tix for 2012, but weird accident fractured my ankle. In ER; "I guess I'm not going to see Springsteen tomorrow night,;am I?".
(Nope)
So many fantastic shows! 🥰

Please report back!
