Bruce Springsteen at Nationals Park Roll Call

Looks like I'm going to be there…
Anyone else going? Did they sell out the entire stadium at $100 a ticket?
Any word on guest appearances (Ian MacKaye without question but who else?)? What time do they go on?

yup I'll be there, section 403 Row A, in the upper boonies. First Bruce stadium show for me.
As for special guests, all I can say is it better not be a politician

I'm going. 227, I think.
Who is in town? Feelies, J. Geils, Don McLean, Joe Jackson…I bet Peter Wolf.

I'm glad the weather is nice. I will be down there in the afternoon in hopes of winning the G.A. lottery. Too bad Ian Hunter is in NYC Friday. Maybe Eddie Vedder will join The Boss again tomorrow night.

Just saw Bruce on Labor day in Philadelphia. GREAT show. Really wish I was able to get tickets for the Nationals Park show.

I'll be in the pit. I dont foresee any guest appearances. Just saw the pre labor day show in Philly. Great show. He should be well rested for this show…he's been off the past week.

I hope this show is better than the Verizon show for you all! I'm sure the sound will be better anyway.

I am going and I'm a fan (not huge but i respect the man) but 3 hours is plenty for me! why would anyone want more?
Seriously.

can confirm Peter Wolf will not be a guest as the J Geils Band high tailed it to Atlantic City after the show last night

well by my count he played just about 3.5 hours…
my first stadium show in 10 years and my last maybe ever.. iwent cause a friend had an extra and invited me..
Bruce was good.. I'm just not a huge fan (that is not Bruce's fault really… I like him and a lot of his songs but something about his music doesn't seal the deal with me) and I though the show dragged in parts… the last hour was pretty smokin' although the old rock and roll covers medley was been there done that and the mandatory beatles cover unecessary.
still the guy really gives it his all… the hipster bands would do well to take a lesson from his approach
I'd take the J Geils show the night before over the Bruce show by a country mile.. lots of similarities… a big stage band..huge set lists… one big difference..everyone in dc seemed to show up for bruce.. and interestingly a lot of college kids.. a lot.
talked with david corn on subway ride home…
oh yeah: not one guest.. .unless you count max weinberg's daughter (and i don't)

Great show. Lots of energy in the pit. No one better than Bruce in giving it all in concert. Also, loved the Detroit Medley!!
