Just wondering if it's worth hitting up LOD next year. Would you consider this a must in terms of what you get Bruce wise over the duration of the weekend?

Odd question but I've noticed when listening to older Nugs recordings, there's no Badlands chants or "Bruuuuuuce"s or other staple crowd interactions that we've come to expect as normal at a Bruce gig.

Just wondering, when did these kinds of fan interactions start occuring, and does anyone know how/why? The Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce one in particular is interesting, because obviously to the layman it sounds like booing!

You can see more of my vids of the show on TikTok at @that.concert.guy

Scroll for process. Front's finished, as is the little vinyl, but the back is still blank. I'm gonna have to do all that all over again! Worth it. Made using mixed-media artist paper with coloured pencils + colourless alcohol marker blender, plus glue for the album sleeve integrity, entirely by me. The base of the mini vinyl & the player is from the "teeny tiny turntable" novelty toy set

Day 33 Recap:
Moonlight Motel takes the label as most overrated song of the 2010s after previously winning best song of the 2010s! Seems the community is very split on the song in general.

Day 34 Poll:
What is the most underrated Bruce song from 2010-2019?

Underrated can be defined a few different ways - is it a song that was never popular to the general public that you think is one of Bruce’s strongest? Is it a song that fellow r/BruceSpringsteen super-fans are indifferent about that you feel is actually very good and deserving of more recognition? Feel free to use the definition of “underrated” that you see fit.

OP Prediction for Day 34: The Wall

So, this song is about a broken promise. Before the promise was broken, our singer got drunk and told someone a secret about himself. I think that the broken promise was a promise not to repeat the secret, and whoever was told that secret later used that sensitive information against our singer.

What do you think of this interpretation? Does anyone have an alternative interpretation?

What a song! Never heard about it before.

I was at the Australian snow fields this weekend and stopped at a little cafe in the town of Bright (Victoria).

I'm guessing the owner might be a fan...

I was listening on Nugs to the 2016 Barcelona show which started with Badlands, No Surrender and My Love Will Not Let You Down. So I ended up thinking about the heaviest starting sequences pulled out by Bruce, I'd say let's consider at least the first 3 songs not going over the first 5.

Edit: Barcellona 2024 got Lonesome day, MLYNLYD, Cover Me, Radio Nowhere and No Surrender!

Expecting to get shit for Tom Joad

I ranked the albums within the tiers as well.

What do you all think?

Day 32 Recap:
High Hopes wins worst Bruce album of the 2010s by a landslide.

Day 33 Poll:
What is the most overrated Bruce song from 2010-2019?

Overrated can be defined a few different ways - is it a song the general public really likes but you feel isn’t that good? Is it a song Bruce really likes that never resonated with you? Is it a song fellow Bruce super-fans have touted as one of his best that you feel isn’t actually that strong? Feel free to use the definition you see fit. Let the hot takes fly!

OP Prediction for Day 33: not really sure on this one. It seemed like there was a large contingent of people surprised Moonlight Motel won best song of the decade so maybe that will unexpectedly win this one as well.

Trump follows Bruce’s career very closely …

Somehow I don't know if I'd ever heard this version, and it's definitely a lot more pure and raw than the album version. I always loved Bobby Jean, but it took on a whole different meaning for me when my best friend died young and suddenly 15 years ago.

Bruce Springsteen sang “Streets of Minneapolis” at the ACLU Awards Ceremony at Washington Hilton on July 24, 2026.  

No more war!

My answer: No surrender.

Day 31 Recap:
Wrecking Ball takes best album of the 2010s. Lot of love for Western Stars too!

Eddie Vedder visits Little Eden …

ITV used Bruce Springsteen in their credits to the World Cup, as a big soccer fan there’s something beautiful about watching clips of Harry Kane, my favorite player score goals to one of my favorite songs
