    I saw Bruce Springsteen two nights in a row on the Born in the USA tour in 1985. We loved the first night! We were completely disappointed the second night when it was word for word, note-for-note, step-for-step, identical to the night before. I know that was 32 years ago but perhaps Bruce is still scripting his shows. This is not criticism, just an observation.

    • @luisalonsoecheverria
      @luisalonsoecheverria 6 лет назад +4

      His Broadway shows are scripted because it's BROADWAY!!! You have a script. You have a showbill. You do and say things in a certain order. That's how Broadway shows work whether they are a stage musical or a one woman/one man show.

    • @kattatonic1
      @kattatonic1 6 лет назад

      luisalonsoecheverria Bruce Springsteen is on Broadway? So is it a play? A musical? I thought he was talking about a concert. Regardless, those concerts in the 80s were scripted. Very unlike rock bands at the time.

    • @luisalonsoecheverria
      @luisalonsoecheverria 6 лет назад +2

      Springsteen is currently doing a Broadway stint. It's a one-man show. Springsteen tells stories about his life and performs various songs from throughout his career completely acoustic.
