sleepyjoe Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Watching the Milan 2003 show right now, which was 17 years ago today... and man, dare I say, best show of the Rising Tour? If I recall correctly, I vaguely remember Bruce saying this was one of his favorite shows as well. Every song is just perfectly performed, and the rain and atmosphere is unlike any other. Plus, that Follow That Dream is simply beautiful. Here's to hoping we someday see it surface on Nugs... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the best shows I’ve seen. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick21 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 One of the top five Rising shows, accompanied by an outstanding CC boot and Pete (Brucevideos) highly-watchable video. The Once Upon A Time intro > The Promised Land is fantastic. Arguably the definitive post-Reunion version of The River. A friend of mine who was at this show had their mobile phone and watch permanently damaged by the weather... This show made me go to the Milan shows in 2012 and 2013 - neither of which were anywhere near as good, but the atmosphere and passion were unforgettable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think what you are referring to (favourite shows) was a comment made by Jon Landau who (at that time) regarded it as being in his top 5 Bruce shows of all time (and he's seen a few!!). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it was Landau who said this, not Bruce. I think in an interview with Rolling Stone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
County fair Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 My first show at the San Siro, haven’t missed a Bruce show there since, best place to see him & the band IMHO, just incredible. My mobile didn’t work for 24 hours it was such a wet night, probably only matched by Firenze for rain, was lucky to attend both shows. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SoulBoogieAlex Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I just noticed I must have seen him do Cadillac Ranch that leg. I wish I could remember. I was certain that he always skipped that one at my shows http://brucebase.wikidot.com/gig:2003-05-08-stadion-feijenoord-rotterdam-netherlands Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goonerginge Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Took an "airmiles" flight on the day, turned up at San Siro without a ticket and got one at an official booth. No pit line in those days. Just queued at one of the many entrances. Got wristband and ran like hell to make 3rd row in front of Clarence. Then the rain came.........got drenched...no hotel....skipped the Joe D'Urso late show and dried out walking the 7km along the straight road from Milan to Linate airport where I slept for a few hours on a luggage conveyor belt before an early morning flight back to London.....................but it was all worth it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that Seeger one, I’m still hoping it will appear on an archive. My first show was in 1999. I’m not even sure which one. I wasn’t a fan at the time but kind tagged along with a co-worker. I remember being in awe of how he did that Joan Jet song. I couldn’t identify most of the songs, much less remember The only album I owned was Nebraska at the time. It took me a couple of years for my obsession to grown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first night Bruce wore a red shirt, the second night he wore a blue shirt. And the first night he jumped on the piano during Stand On It (which was a tour debut and the first performance since the BUSA Tour). Maybe this helps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I lost my ticketstub for this show and my memory often plays tricks on me. I could not tell you a whole lot about my last show, save for some high lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
