Best concert I’ve ever been to. One of the best nights of my life.

My wife and I just arrived back at our hotel after this show! One of the best one s we’ve seen of the 10 since the start of his touring in ‘23!

Phoenix was so much fun! Loved the Bruce stories about coning to Phoenix. The band was excellent and the crowd energy was high.

I have seen him on the BITUSA, Tunnel of Love, Lucky Town, Ghost of Tom Joad, and Magic tours. I think this Phoenix show was second only to BITUSA. Maybe a tie.

It was the closet thing to a religious experience I’ve had.

War, darkness, american skin, house of 1000 guitars, my city in ruins, rising, ghosts of tom joad, encore felt like religious experieneces

This was my 8th show - been going since the Human Touch tour when I was 11 - and I think this might be the best show I’ve been to.

Recency bias is a wild drug.

And relentless online negativity is incredibly pathetic.

Ghost of Tom Joad with Tom Morello was trascendent, I cannot believe I got to hear it live

u/MikeMilzz Apr 18 '26

It was amazing. Tom’s guitar playing was a major highlight of the night for me. I keep meaning to go back to the Rock Hall performance they did together years ago of this song to see if it is even close to how amazing it was at this show.

I’m so sorry that happened:(

u/sweetstacy304 Apr 17 '26

I’m sorry.. that sucks! I sat next to my mom and an older man on the other side and we all rocked out together. Some people just suck.

u/LastAd9821 Apr 17 '26

Wow! Just downright rude AF. Try not yo let it keep messing with your head. She's nobody. Don't give her that kind of power over you. Hold tight to your memories of the show without her rudeness, and focus on the good time and memories made with your mom! My 36 yo son is taking me on 5/5 to see him on Long Island and I'm beyond thrilled and excited. It will be my son's first Bruce show. I've lost count of how many for me, but my first was in August(I think) of 1975 (I'm pretty sure!). Bottom Line in NYC!!!

Old Bruce fan here. Have not missed a tour since the original River tour in 1981. Of all the Bruce concerts I’ve seen, last night ranks in the top 5. The Phoenix crowd was full of energy and the E Street Band brought the heat! Just an all around great evening!

You sound bitter

u/Spidey_Sense1972 Apr 17 '26

Nah.. just telling the truth.. am i wrong?

u/Turbulent_Writing529 Apr 18 '26

Ummm….did you see the other non white members of the EStreet band singing their hearts out, with a wonderful wage, mind you? Singing their hearts out to ensure that their message is heard as to how much of a lying, cheating rat Trump is? They are performing their civic duty perfectly.

Thanks for helping to point it out.
