It being past midnight here on the east coast in the US, it is now November 14, my mother's birthday. It was 3 years ago that I last saw Bruce in concert. I was one of the extremely lucky ones who had the opportunity to buy tickets for the first few weeks of Springsteen on Broadway. The day before tickets went on sale, I thought about which date I would try for. I live only a couple hours from NYC, and I'm retired, so I decided to go for a weekday. I assumed weekends and the first couple weeks would be the dates most requested (could be wrong). Looking over the calendar, I spotted Tuesday Nov 14, Ma's birthday. Seemed lucky to me. It was. Got in fairly quickly, and scored a pair of seats upstairs. Then I called my mother. Yes, she was still alive and I wasn't going to drive a couple hours in the opposite direction to see her on her birthday. And no, I'm not an asshole. She was coming to town to visit with my sisters and I a few days after her birthday, so I wasn't going to see her on her big day anyway. She was more than aware of my Bruce obsession, and was really happy to hear I used her day for good luck. It turned out to be her last. I hope, and sometimes fear, that I'll see my 89th birthday like she did.
Anyway, the show was great, you all know that. Not really worth describing. But 3 years...damn. So when and where was your last show?
