The people that were falsely accused for running the GA line on the Rising tour in the Arena's suggested this way to run the lottery after trials and errors from the past Bruce tours starting with the stadium tour 2003, Vote for Change 2004, a few arena acoustic shows with GA in 2005, and amphitheatres GA Pits on the Seeger Sessions tour. I have this Luck and I dodge bullets baby!!!
Originally posted by Fooer:suggestion: those aren't abilities. it's called luck. unless you tell me that you scam several bracelets, or work your way up the line, or sneak in past security, or have friends in high places, etc, you have no skillz - only luck. congrats, good for you, and i'm glad that you get those great tickets/spots/seats… but i'd think twice about deluding myself that i have "abilities".
Super Natural Abilities. Good with odds and numbers and I do have the best luck. For those that know who I am and on the other boards yes I am that damn good!!!
Bruce
he doesn't do the 3-4 hour sets each night anymore. most of the shows have been about 2.5 hours on this tour.
i'll be there both sunday and monday. come say hi over in section 112.

No Born in the USA? Oh hell no-he has to play it on Veterans Day in DC while we're at war. At least now I know what to say to him.
8:25-10:40 by my watch.

I was told 8:20 was the standard start time. I didn't check my watch for the exact time, but renton007's assessment sounds about right. The time just flew by.
I thought the show was great, though I personally could have used a few more hits. The BruceHeads around me seemed to think it was a good, but not great show. "Somewhere in the middle" is what one guy told me. He also said night #2 in each city is usually better. Still…It was a really, really fun time.

I got there at 2:00 yesterday and there were a little over 100 people in line already. I think they gave out at least 1000 wristbands for the lottery. 400 people get in the pit. I was one of the lucky 400. :)
congrats! hoping for similar luck tonight!
Ticketmaster tix on sale now!
Wrist band # 821 was the one chosen in the lottery last night…my friend and I had 851 and 852 so we were right up front to the left of bruce in front of Nils and Clarence. Great show. Fairly similar setlist…but a few played tonight not played last night:
Ties that Bind, Thunder Road, Jackson Caye, maybe a few more. No "Growing up" during encore which would have been great. No "Night" during the main set.
Great great show though, and being right up front really made it feel like I was seeing the band at 9:30.

yup, bombay chutney's luck rubbed off on me, too :) it was a surreal experience. thanks to those who posted info about the lottery.
i've seen many concerts, wizards games (including playoffs), etc at the verizon center. never has the place been so packed (til the end) and SO alive. it was the most enthusiasm i've ever felt from a DC crowd regardless of venue or event.

You must have been right next to my brother, his wife and son (wearing red Terps hat). They had wristbands in the 860's and the planted themselves on the rail by Nils. Great show and the best I think I have seen of a usually lame DC crowd. Loved Jackson Cage and Backstreets.

Bruce put on a fantastic show. I never thought I would say that about someone who didn't play a lot of his hits. At the end of the show he gave his harmonica to the most adorable kid whose father was injured in Iraq. He was very personable and generous.
