Last Sunday I woke up on soon. Recently returned from a trip to Intercontinental and unable to sleep I tried to gather ideas on where I was, what time it was and what day it was. The hound was sleeping beside me, ok, I was home. 'Last night was Saturday', ok, it was Sunday. ..... The first day of a new month. The July 1. 'Dogs ... wake up .... and' July 1 ... MSG ....'
do not know exactly why the date has struck me more 'than others and I'm still trying to figure it out. The 1 / 7 / 00 and of course 'the last of the 10th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden Bruce concluded that the Reunion Tour '99-'00. But never before, and 'which was the first thing I thought, once awake.
course and 'a memory meraviglioso, ma piu' del concerto la mia mente ha ripensato agli odori, ai rumori, al caldo della citta', e alle lacrime e i visi degli amici con i quali avevamo condiviso piu' di 1 anno meraviglioso senza mai pensare che un giorno sarebbe finito tutto.
Il primo pensiero va sempre alla fine del concerto. La mezzanotte e' gia' passata e l'appuntamento e' al solito posto. L'uscita laterale del MSG, sul muretto. Nemmeno io e il segugio avevamo posti vicini durante lo show. I biglietti erano estremamente difficili da ottenere, tra i piu' difficili di sempre, e si prendeva quello che si poteva. Le mie lacrime avevano iniziato a scendere durante 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' quando tutto d'un tratto ho realizzato che non avrei piu' alzato il arm, shouting 'this train' for a while 'time. And then the shock of 'Blood Brothers' to close the concert with him to hold back the tears Bruce fatigue. Outside Madison, then, there was not really much to say. The faces of all speak for themselves. Sad, incredulous, wondering 'what the hell and now we do?'. It 's impossible to be happy at the end of a tour (unless he looks forward to the end) but
Emotions' flowing rivers, aroused by images and memories of dozens of trips, concerts, places.
While we wait for real estate on the steps out a friend, about 2 meters, weight difficult to estimate but large. Bear, big, not big Swazrzenegger. Still weeping, her hands through his hair, face incredulous' unbelievable, incredible, perfect, perfect, now I understand, everything was perfect, now I know 'cause he's never played before, everything was perfect, amazing'.
The injury and 'in' Blood Brothers ', ever more choice' apt. Blood Brothers they, we, us and them, after that, nothing else. A link found. An experience that should remain unique. Why the deja-vu after three years at Shea Stadium 'is entirely anticlimatico. Some things can not be repeated.
Even after the show and 'a ritual, in the usual room in Tribeca. This evening begins and ends more 'later than usual. When we get back into the room rented the Upper West Side for a week and 'almost dawn. At this point, what the fuck, we decide to stay awake for a while '. Look down 'from the window because of the rumors that have plagued us every morning. Work begins on the street, pass the garbage truck banging drums to the right and left. Fuck HIM, motherfucker!
And soon after, exhausted, finally go to sleep. That evening a charter flight that looked like a chock-full of fans would have reported in Italy where, unconsciously, we still only spent a few months before the opportunity to move to USA knocked on the door.
And then perhaps I understand that July 1, 2000 is representing the end of a fantastic journey and the beginning of another, equally beautiful and meaningful. Nothing but 'and' was more 'the same.
Sunday, so I got up to check email and found the message I timely nostalgic for a friend, equally struck by the significance of that evening. There was also a link for the download of a 'new' bootleg, 'A Good Night For A Ride'.
Listening to the concert and 'more like being catapulted back into the arena' beautiful in the world. The excitement, the music played perfectly, I can see everything perfectly. And remember:
- As I was initially disappointed with the lineup 'standard' of the first part of the concert
- But How 'has been pretty
Atlantic City - How I got pissed off with Bruce, leaving my place to visit the hound, when he asked the silence 'cause' were recording '
- As the concert has taken another turn after 10th Avenue, when, with' E Street Shuffle ', and everything' became more 'loose' .
- Lost In The Flood one of the most 'memorable
- Backstreets, and the obvious presence of the lineup the last show of the tour
- The Promise, much more' emotional than 2 days before.
- Ramrod, loose, loose, loose
- thanks and the chorus 'E Street Band'
- Land Of Hope And Dreams, memorable
- Blood Brothers, no comment
- And how the consultation is complete and intense, not can 'ask for more'. How to revive 15 months in 3 hours.
Life is a wonderful thing.
