Notes: After the acoustic encore, the crew brought three chairs to the front of the stage. Ed came out, introduced Neil and Pegi, and Neil stole the rest of the show.
Last night went to Detroit to see Bright Eyes, REM, John Forgerty, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. REM, I admit that I'm not a fan, but they ok. Bruce well there is a reason that they call him The Boss, enough said. I thought that I missed John F. but he came out and play with Bruce and band. John started off with Put In Coach, Deja Vu All Over Again(new song but it's a good one-- you can listen to it on his web site),& Fortunate Son. The encore started with Traveling Band and end with the all star jam, with all the bands, plus the Dixie Chicks.
UT note
On my way to the restroom my girlfriend spoted an Uncle Tupelo stirt. Anytime I see someone in a UT or SV stirt I have to say something.
We bullsh*ted for alittle bit and parted way, until, he showed to sit down right be side me. 18,000 in the people in the place and we had seats next to each other.
