Opener to night in Hartford!
Sorry you won't be there, Nelly, to give us updates.
If you are like me and can't get "Bruce Sirius" on your computer at work, here is a new "bosscast" you can stream!!
'During rehearsals in Asbury Park earlier this week, Springsteen took some time to speak with USA Today's Elysa Gardner; the interview runs today as Bruce and the band gear up for tonight's kick-off in Hartford. "On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience," he tells the paper. "I look for an audience that's as serious about the experience as we are, which, after all these years, continues to be pretty serious."
Gardner also reveals what Bruce has been up to during the break: "He's been in the studio with E Street, along with Brendan O'Brien, who manned the boards for both Rising and Magic. The singer also is 'recording on my own, for an acoustic record. I work on a lot of projects at once.'" '

Threee tour premieres, plus The River. No Patti or Danny according to BTX. I'd say Hartford got a good show. I wouldn't complain!

Stunning setlist. "The River" was superb in Belfast. He goes into this wailing falsetto at the end of it which will make the hair on the back of your arse stand up.
Good to see him dipping into the 'Tracks' boxed set. Thats a pretty outrageous choice of opening song!
And letting Nils sing the second verse of "Janey Dont You Lose Heart" (when was THAT last played? Holy crap!)- being the first Bruce song he ever played on - was a nice touch.
Good news on Danny Federici too :
(from www.backstreets.com)
We'll admit it, for the first night back after more than two months off, we were expecting a standard show, maybe a little halting, as Springsteen and the E Street Band got their feet back under them. But from the beginning -- as Bruce hollered "Is there anybody alive out there!" and went not into "Radio Nowhere" but "So Young and in Love" to start -- he and the band were immediately up to speed, and Hartford was a hot, high-energy show. In mid-season shape from the moment they took the stage, they were also clearly determined to offer something new for this second swing around North America, with three top-tier tour debuts from Tracks. In addition to that surprise opener, "Loose Ends" was very well received, with Bruce and Steve sharing extended vocals at the end. The third premiere was played appropriately enough "for Janey," it was "Janey Don't You Lose Heart." Nils' first recorded vocal with the E Street Band, tonight the song put the spotlight on him once again, a great moment as he took over to sing the second verse.
Patti Scialfa was absent tonight, as was Danny Federici, with Charles Giordano continuing to fill in on organ as he did in Europe (tonight was his U.S. debut with the E Streeters). After telling the crowd that Patti sends her love, Bruce went on to say that Danny does too, offering a long-awaited update to fans who've been wondering about the Phantom: "He's doing all right. Hopefully he'll make it out for a few shows on this leg of the tour." Bruce also took the moment to recognize Charlie and give him a bow.
Working the stage and the crowd hard, Bruce added a few new thoughts to the often downbeat "Livin' in the Future" rap: "I feel some changes coming... I feel a new wind!" The set-closing five-pack remains intact, with some nice refinements to "Long Way Home" carrying over from its evolving arrangement on the European tour. Nils and particularly Steve get to step up on vocals at the end, to great effect. "Dancing in the Dark" dropped out of the encore to make room for an epic doubleshot, "Backstreets" into "Kitty's Back," where Charlie really got a chance to shine. And opening night -- not a warm-up by any means -- came to a familiar close with "American Land."
"This show just put a big dent in my bank account," a friend of mine told me afterward. How come? "Before, I was on the fence about how many I was going to see this time," he said. "After 'Loose Ends' I realized, dammit, I'm gonna have to see 'em all"

Back on topic: No tix available still for the 3/10 show at Nassau Col. I think I'd be unable to attend anyway due to working the overnight. So I'd have to leave the show at 1015 or so anyway.

There should be a ticket drop 24-48 hours beforehand as per pretty much every show on this tour.

Janey was played a handful of times on The Rising Tour.
Opened (!) one of the 03 Giants Stadium shows.
Also saw it at Fenway I.
