Author Topic:   Does anyone else close their eyes?

Lisabrucefan posted 06-18-2000 08:39 PM PT (US)
Does anyone else do this? Especially when Clarence is playing I feel like I feel the music better if I close my eyes. When I'm at a show I feel like I'm wasting the moment - not WATCHING too and then I open them. Does anyone else do this?

Lisa,
Damm we are one in the same - backstreets the favorite song (if we must chose one), same feeling about the shows, both from LI and now this. Yea, I have to admit I close my eyes too, sometimes it just helps me see better if you know what I mean. I just feel the music running through me when I do that, like you, it is usually during a solo, guitar, sax or piano. I must also admit, I do a lot of air guitar, air sax, air piano and air drums at the show as well.

PhillyGirl posted 06-18-2000 08:55 PM PT (US)
YES! Especially Backstreets, Jungle Land, NYC Serenade!

Crazy Davey posted 06-18-2000 08:57 PM PT (US)
PhillyGirl,
I would close my eyes on NYC Serenade if I ever got the chance to see it live. Probably Incident too. However, when Bruce did the solo Promise at the Asbury Park rehearsals, I did close em then with tears in em. Blew me away.

Too freaky man! When we finally do meet it'll probably turn out that we already know each other !

Lisa: Great subject. I always get a little embarressed when I get so into that I close my eyes. There is no doubt that I can definitely feel it even more intensely when I shut off one of the senses. I have to stop myself sometimes because it looks a little weird. But, then I look up at Bruce and his eyes are shut (as most singers are) at least half the time.

WhizBang posted 06-18-2000 11:36 PM PT (US)
I saw an interview with Branford Marsalies. In the interview he said that when a person hears a song that means a lot to them mentally they're not where they're hearing the song. They're in some special place that the song brings them back to.

PhillyGirl posted 06-19-2000 01:21 AM PT (US)
Crazy Davey, I was in Philly when Bruce did Incident and Serenade in the same show. I was in the very top row, so I was able to lean back against the wall and close my eyes and just take it all in. It was truly magical.

Intro to Promised Land, Intro and end of Price You Pay, Across the Border, Racing etc etc etc

I have to add another one to the list. The Promise still ranks as the top but second on the list was at the Nassau Coliseum show during the HT/LT tour - we sat 9th row - the closest I got until 4th row at the Meadowlands this year. The song was Living Proof - I had to close my eyes and just let the song walk over me - also the one time that a Shane guitar solo really got to me. The anguish and pain just swept through my body and after the song ended - I was just a different person.

Fred posted 06-19-2000 09:52 AM PT (US)
I close my eyes when I kiss. Works better that way. Have you ever opened your eyes while kissing at the same time as your partner? Weird is all I can say. So I keep 'em closed.

redheadedwoman posted 06-19-2000 11:26 AM PT (US)
I close my eyes to a lot of songs in concert, "Backstreets", "Thunder Road", "Bobby Jean", because they mean so much to me. Especially during Thunder Road, I usually have my arms upstretched to the heavens through the whole song, I swear it's a religious experience. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but he's not a fan so that's his problem.

EStreetFan9 posted 06-19-2000 01:53 PM PT (US)
Of course, its only my humble opinion, and people will probably to throw me off Greasy Lake for this, but I think everyone who's posting to this -- except Fred -- is out to lunch!
I mean, YOU'RE AT A SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT! You can listen to the music with your eyes closed any time and any place (just please not while driving..)! If you're at concert -- which has both AUDIO and VISUAL components -- and you're not experiencing the VISUAL portion, YOU'RE MISSING IT!
Plus, you will looked all whacked-out, drug-induced, and freaky. And somebody might rightly call the guys with the white jackets with long arms.
Fred -- thanks for the great advice. That's what I've been doing wrong all these years! Can't wait to try it out!
PS Before you all try to kick me off, would it help if I said I wasn't a lawyer?

EStreetFan9 - Don't listen to Fred!! Keep your eyes open! (Unless you don't WANT to see what you're kissing!).

gkid8,
I usually have my eyes open long enough to see WHO I'm kissing, but if they're left open WHILE kissing, I get a much too extreme close-up, get dizzy, nauseaous(sp), and have to put on an oxygen mask!! Besides, do you really want to see that tongue coming at you?

karen posted 06-19-2000 05:26 PM PT (US)
Is it me or is this thread taking a turn in a new direction? Fred--I might have to close my eyes here if you keep posting ; )
There's too much to miss during a show if I close my eyes, especially when Bruce (or Clarence) do their pelvic thrusts, wouldn't want to miss that!

Miami MArk posted 06-19-2000 05:39 PM PT (US)
"See the tongue coming at you" !!!???? What are you kissing....a yak?

Lisabrucefan posted 06-19-2000 05:43 PM PT (US)
I'm not SLEEPING during the show or anything!!! I'm just getting into the groove, swayin' with the sweet , sweet sax, forgetting about all those them there troubles, blocking out FOR A FEW BRIEF MOMENTS all those casual fans who are getting up to buy a beer or to pee. GREAT NOW THERE WILL BE 25 POSTS ABOUT ANOTHER BODILY FUNCTION. Those who do close their eyes will know what I mean! Try it , you'll like it !

redheadedwoman posted 06-19-2000 06:13 PM PT (US)
Lisabrucefan, I understand what you're saying, and I'm not sleeping either!!! And my eyes aren't closed for the whole song, just those first few moments when you realize what he's playing. It's like I'm on a mountaintop, just me, and there's that song playing all around me and I'm just giving thanks that I'm hearing it! It's letting the words and music rush over me like a waterfall, or a cool breeze...I'm not sleeping or zoning out, I'm just drinkin' it all in...

OK as long as you do not close your eyes when you pee off the mountaintop while losing yourself in the moment....

Sherry Darling posted 06-19-2000 09:54 PM PT (US)
Lisa girl I totally hear you. It's a great way to shut out everything else but you and the song. Screw what everyone else thinks. You ARE on a drug-- teh music! Tell 'em to kiss it. I've even been known to close my eyes when singing and playing on my guitar or piano (if I know the song well enough.) Very powerful.
*sigh*

MrsS posted 06-19-2000 10:00 PM PT (US)
First of all, like the laughs up above. It is okay to make fun of ourselves. We are all obsessive or we would not be here.
Do I close my eyes. Yes, because the music overwhelms and carries me, but I force myself to open them for I do not want to miss anything. (For instance another bra on the stage Sat. that Bruce quickly kicked off the stage.)
Anyways, let the music carry you to wherever you want to be. It is never the same as listening to a CD.

Miami MArk posted 06-19-2000 10:20 PM PT (US)
Hey Anne Bancroft...you didn't go home with one less did you?

A few years ago, well it was 30+ to be percise , I would dance with my eyes closed. I felt like my entire body lifted off the ground and I was transported to the ceiling. I'd glide around the club and it was a free feeling like riding a wave. Bruce and my friend Ricky were the only leads that could take me to this height. I would open my eyes to bring me down to earth and connect, and close them again and off I went. Maybe that's why Bruce referred to me as Hazy Davy?
I'm off to MSG on Tuesday night with my friend Richard Blackwell. I asked Richard to bring his congas. I'm hoping that will inspire Bruce to play NYC Serenade and invite the Brotherman on stage?

Duke Street King posted 06-19-2000 11:53 PM PT (US)
It's been said, but not stressed as much as I think it should.
I was at the Hartford show...the one "Backstreets" said might be the best from them ever(I've been to about 20 and it really was the best I've seen)...anyway, "Racing in the Street" was truely magical. They took a minute before they started the song-I wouldn't be surprised if that very rendition appears on a new live album.

Hey Brilliantly --
Just a warning on your last post --
I've never been to New York, but I have lived in a couple of rough towns (Detroit, MI; Leesville, Louisiana)...
Ya gotta be careful about the eyes closed/eyes open thing in the men's room... just don't have your eyes be TOO open!
Or by the end of your rest break, you might WISH it was only a yak tongue coming at you -- and you might not get out in time to hear Backstreets/Jungleland...
This is all in the interest of public safety, folks...

MrsS posted 06-20-2000 08:44 PM PT (US)
No it was not mine, Miami. LOL! I was sitting to far away. Although I probably might have nailed a security guard.
I guess I did close my eyes at the concert briefly when Mr. S kissed me. I guess he got carried away as well.

deb posted 06-21-2000 07:30 AM PT (US)
Last night during the 6/20 show I thought about this post. Sitting in the third row, listening to an awesome Tom Joad, I closed my eyes and heard Soozie Tyrell on the violin; it was pure magic! Would never have thought that this song could be a show highlight for me, but it was stunning!
Thanks Lisabrucefan, your post came back to me last night and it added to an already great experience!

Be careful about "nailing" those security guards... while that may be a viable option to get down to the front row or backstage, MrS may disapprove.
And one of them could be a stalker and follow you home.
Hey, MiamiMark -- HOW EXACTLY did you get backstage at 6-20? Not MrsS' questionable technique, I hope...
And if so, did you keep your eyes open?

Miami MArk posted 06-21-2000 11:15 AM PT (US)
I slithered like the fuckin Grinch!!!REALLY!!!! I just walked in and walked like I was supposed to be there. When a securty guard looked at me I took out my cell phone and started talking loud saying "yeah , we're pulling down equipment now and should be out in a coupla hours...yeah Ok ...yeah he's in the dressing room" and they just let me and my bud go by.....

You're welcome Deb!
Last night I actually had very good seats. I was directly behind Suzie Tyrell on Patti's side so I tried really hard Not to close my eyes but it was hard!
I know - to have my problems...
Thursday night I'm in the same place but Firday I'm in 323. REALLY BAD but I don't think bad enough to be upgraded. So I'll allow myself the pleasure then.

Miami MArk posted 06-21-2000 04:15 PM PT (US)
I sat in 325 last night, and they are not "really bad". In fact I liked them better than my floor seats in Sec 8 row A! The sound is clear and not as loud, and you have a clear view of the band. It was great watchin Bruce from there. I am in 323 row B for 7/1 and happy as a clam.

Lisabrucefan posted 06-21-2000 05:41 PM PT (US)
Miami Mark
In jersey I was behind the stage but lower down for one night. I know the band is really close when they turn around but most of the time you're really stuck looking at their backs. So I guess I'll just close my eyes.
Can't believe how long this topic has been kept alive!
I'd be happy with ANY seat for 7/1 as it looks like I will not have one. Lisa

MrsS posted 06-22-2000 01:27 AM PT (US)
BTW when I said "nail the security guard". I meant if I were to throw my bra toward the stage it would land on a security guard. I was in sec 338. No sexual innuendo was intended.

I was directly behind Suzie Tyrell on Patti's side so I tried really hard Not to close my eyes but it was hard! I know - to have my problems... Thursday night I'm in the same place but Firday I'm in 323. REALLY BAD but I don't think bad enough to be upgraded. So I'll allow myself the pleasure then.
Miami MArk	posted 06-21-2000 04:15 PM PT (US) I sat in 325 last night, and they are not "really bad". In fact I liked them better than my floor seats in Sec 8 row A! The sound is clear and not as loud, and you have a clear view of the band. It was great watchin Bruce from there. I am in 323 row B for 7/1 and happy as a clam.
Lisabrucefan	posted 06-21-2000 05:41 PM PT (US) Miami Mark In jersey I was behind the stage but lower down for one night. I know the band is really close when they turn around but most of the time you're really stuck looking at their backs. So I guess I'll just close my eyes. Can't believe how long this topic has been kept alive! I'd be happy with ANY seat for 7/1 as it looks like I will not have one. Lisa
