Bonnaroo on Fuse - BRUCE

...here i am flipping chanels on a Sat. night and what do I see but Mr. Springsteen playing guitar SHIRTLESS (this is a first, he usually doesn't do that). Unfortunately that shot did not last long. I'd just like to point out that he's turning 60 next month, so if any of you are feeling old, don't. We are as young as we feel and act. So keep rockin (and eating right, exercising and not smoking or drinking excessively).

Bruce at Bonnaroo:

(Thanks, Phil, for sending this link)

Looks like Bruce had a great show last night. For those of you not following his current tour, he's playing "stump the band" with the audience; each night people bring signs with song names on them and he takes a bunch of them and will play a few of the suggestions. Last night the audience convinced him to play "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". The rest of the set list is also included on this link.

Even the Huffington Post had something to say about his performance! This photo is from their site. Their review starts off like this:

MANCHESTER, Tenn. — Bruce Springsteen astonished the Bonnaroo crowd with a passionate three-hour performance, offering sweat and rock 'n' roll to inspire, he said, in "hard times."

Back Door Slam - Live From Bonnaroo

It's no secret that my favorite NEW BAND from last year was "Back Door Slam". Sadly they dispersed after one recording together, but lucky for their fans there is a new CD out of their performance at the Bonnaroo in '08. There are some great songs on the new CD, I highly recommend it and have a copy to give away. I will do a drawing of names on Sunday the 17th to let you know who wins, so if you'd like it leave your name in the comments.
