I have seen Bruce 14 times in concert.
I have seen Bruce in 9 different cities.
I have seen Bruce sing 340 songs.
I have seen Bruce sing 148 different songs.
I have seen Bruce sing 33 covers.
I have seen Bruce play The Rising 12 times, which the song I have heard the most live.
I have seen Bruce on 5 different tours (every single tour since I had my Bruce Springsteen moment seven years ago.)
I have seen Bruce play the most on the Devils and Dust tour (6 times...which is ironic considering I didn't even like that album, except for Jesus Was An Only Son...yes, they were still absolutely beautiful shows.)
I have seen Bruce play with the E Street Band, the Seeger Sessions Band and solo.
I have seen Bruce play with special guests Al Leiter, Jon Landeau, Willie Nile, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bob Dylan, Garland Jeffreys, Bright Eyes, the Dixie Chicks, R.E.M., John Fogerty, Neil Young and Pegi Young.
I have cried at all 14 Bruce shows AT LEAST once.
I, Mary Alexandra Jones, am totally obsessed with Bruce Springsteen.
It's just astounding that these Bruce shows always seem to come when I need them the most. It's also astounding that I have seen both Silver Palimino and Part Man, Part Monkey multiple times and have NEVER SEEN JUNGLELAND! Two chances, Brucey, to make it up to me...
St. Paul and Milwaukee...Mama Jones is coming up from KC, MO for both shows and my WonderTwin is traveling to both as well. I'll get to rock out with most of the Minnesotan rock'n'roll rats, Jake and Justin (my long time Bruce brothers), downattheresevoir and her sis, windycitydarling, her husband and her 20 year old son (a Bruce virgin), Cline (an awesomely perverted I think maybe Republican)...I can't wait to be back together with my people, screaming, dancing and sobbing!
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

You really are a geek aren't you? And I mean that in the nicest way!
Funny, I forgot about Peace, Love & Understanding at the Vote For Change shows.
I just had to officially turn down shooting the show at Xcel due to my flight getting me back from Austin 3 hours too late. Damn! Maybe I'll join y'all for the afterparty...
WOWOWOWOWOW!!! That list is so anal! I am impressed. Bobby and I are going to see him in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver this month!!! I can't wait. We too have seen him multiple times in multiple cities - in the front row and almost the back row and BY FAR my favourite show was on this tour - night one in Philly. AMAZING!
you are a crazy person. but i like it.

13 shows.
9 shows with The E Street Band, 2 shows with the Seeger Sessions Band, 2 shows solo.
5 different cities.
321 songs.
126 different songs.
24 covers.
The Promised Land is the song I’ve heard the most, 10 times.
5 tours.
I saw most shows during the Rising tour (4) but that will change this tour...
I didn’t cry at all the shows, though I did several times. The song that made me cry the most was Racing in the Street in Gothenburg in 2003.
Can't come to the upcoming St Paul show unfortunately. Have tickets for the two Gothenburg shows 4th and 5th of july this summer.
You have some really cool ones on there. Lost in the flood, NYC Serenade, Valentine's day, Janey don't you lose heart... Wow!
Hope you get Jungleland. I am fortunate enough to have heard it three times, one of those in MSG with Meeting preceding... Yeah!!
Keep on rockin'!
joel
i wish i could go too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't know where to begin to compile such a list!! Total awesomeness.
I have to admit, as a BIG fan of recent Bruce Springsteen songs, I haven't piked up the Seeger Sessions yet. I really do like cover songs in moderation, but I wasn't sure that I could go a whole album without a Springsteen original. Maybe I'll give it a shot...
I love how much you love Bruce Springsteen. Keep it up!
I too am obsessed. I have seen him 5 imes on his Wrecking Ball tour (alll I could afford) the last show I saw was in Phoenix. I have no way of travelling to Europe or Australia so I have my fingers crossed for some more East Coast venues. I am from Canada so it is sometimes hard on the wallet!
