God how lucky is Tracy Francese to be this close, I could only wish in my wildest dreams to be that close to The Boss. I just hope that Bruce extends his tour to include Australia, I want to be there screaming my guts out to this song and all his music at a concert in Sydney.

Yeah, I’ve got to agree with most everybody on here. Willie Nile is without a doubt, since he’s a “friend” of Bruce’s, it’s like Bruce is giving him an opportunity to be front and center, so to speak. It comes off as very phony. he even attempts to copy Bruce’s natural moves that we E Streeters have been watching for 41 years. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but not in this case. You don’t see Garland Jeffrey’s jumping into Bruce’s spot. Nah, I don’t care for the guy.

Willie Nile is terrific. Listen to his music before you make any snap decisions about him.

@AHelplessGrandma It was - invite a retard on stage night.

What I love the most is the fact that they are doing this for the benefit of people who suffer from Parkinsons Disease. I’ve never been to Light of Day, nor to AP, but I’ve been very involved w/people who have this. I completely honor anyone who is passionate about raising awareness. Just had dinner with a friend who couldn’t raise his fork to his mouth because he was frozen from rigidity due to PD. Who cares about Willie’s hair! Praise them all for singing, moving, and giving!

I don’t see any members of the “EAST” street band on stage !!! lol

@Hughezy How did he figure out a way to get on stage with The Boss?

@mapender It galls me no end to read the crap that’s been posted here about Willie by people who obviously haven’t a clue about who he is, or the body of work he’s responsible for. Ask any musician worth his salt and they know. I’m from Canada and there’s a lyric in a Sloan song (also from Canada and a great band, by the way) that goes something like, “It’s not the band I hate, it’s their fans.” Couldn’t be more true reading this stuff. Love Springsteen, but the “fans?” Nah…

@Hughezy you are correct. He does make a few Kramer-like moves as well.

@mapender Hey, thanks for jumping in… I know Willie’s set was earlier – and obviously Bruce was the headliner – but Willie’s been doing this benefit series (all over the world) for a long time now. I could be wrong but I think he’s responsible, at least in part, for getting Bruce involved. If anyone bother to check out Willie’s set, Bruce is up playing with HIM (One Guitar). Bruce invited Willie up to play with him at Giant’s Stadium a few years ago and not because he sucks!

@ltaylor100 He is a complete spaz.

For you bozos who seem to have a problem with Willie Nile, you should know this was Willie’s show and Bruce was HIS guest, not the other way around. In fact, Bruce would be mortified to read this slander. Willie is one of the most genuine – and talented – guys I’ve ever met, that’s why he’s Bruce’s friend and that’s why Bruce comes out to support this cause (Parkinson’s research)… Get a grip.

no way… Bruce is the BOSS… and he will be under my sikn forever…. while I miss Clarence Clemons ….

@Hughezy Who is it? He is such a trainwreck I can’t help but watch him.

Wahnsinns Solo vom BOSS – freu mich auf Köln

@MrMscampbell I don’t have a problem with him, but I think that Willie’s set was earlier in the evening and this was either Joe’s or Bruce’s set (however you wish to look at it).

@dangochnour Who are the East St. Band? Willie is a total fruitcake.

Good teaser for seeing the Boss and E-Streeet band in Berlin
