Thanks to Elizabeth Derczo @ SXSW and Marilyn Laverty and Elizabeth Lutz @ Shore Fire Media for allowing me to share that incredible rock ‘n’ roll experience with Bruce tonight. Since just about nothing will top that, can we do it again next year?
(OK, I can think of ONE thing that could top it. Say, McCartney and Bruce together? A Bridge School concert lineup in Austin?)
Oh, and...
When the big man joined the band … A moment for cheers. And maybe a tear.
A very gospel-infused show from Bruce & Co. And now, Jimmy Cliff.
What a day. From a brilliant keynote speech to a killer show filled with all the joy he’s brought to rock ‘n’ roll since the day he released “Greetings From Asbury Park,” he is the embodiment -and still the soul - of rock ‘m’ roll. And now we’re all singing every word to “Thunder Road.”
“I can’t believe you’re not dancing. This is the dance part!” Bruce shouted. It worked. This is so much better than an arena show. Not that he’s ever sucked!
Morello’s onstage. “death to my Hometown.” Very Celtic.
But now I feel a twinge of missing him.
And Clarence’s nephew just rocked the sax solo!
With a “happy birthday, Woody, Bruce started with Guthrie’s “I Ain’t Got No Home,” then did “We Take Care of Our Own,” and now, the title to his new album, “Wrecking Ball.” Huge band: 17 people. Joe Ely’s in the house but doesn’t know if he’ll jump onstage. We hear Tom Morello and Jimmy Cliff are expected, and sound check...

Bruce is late.
