The Boss is Coming Back!
As avid Bruce Springsteen fans (I would not say die-hard or fanatical), my husband and I purchased tickets to his concert tour months and months ago. We kept his concert in our ‘future plans’ as something great to look forward to.
Imagine our disappointment when, the night before the concert (April 18, 2008), we learned of the untimely and very sad death of Danny Federici and the postponement of the Fort Lauderdale concert.
We were sitting at home watching a concert of Bruce & the E Street band on DVD, reading the blogs about the previous concerts, and checking out the playlists on Bruce Springsteen’s Sony Music site and Backstreets - His Fan Site, taking bets on what he would open with, what he would play, and how many encores he would give. When we refreshed the page at about 10PM, I noticed a change in the tour dates. It said the Ft. Lauderdale concert was “POSTPONED”! What!?! We were disturbed to think that the concert might in fact be completely cancelled, due to his European Tour schedule. Well, as luck has it, the concert has been postponed to May 2, which is this weekend.
Despite the sad news and our disappointment at the concert being postponed, we realize we still have something to look forward to!
