I don't think that would be appropriate on Valentine's Day.

Saw Springsteen for the first time in 1981.  Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar.  Met my wife

He's not a youngster, but I'll bet he still packs the house.  I've never liked him since he left his wife and kid in Baltimore.  What a dick move.

He's alright, voice is kind of whiny.  But I'm pretty sure all of these guys, including Bruce, fall under the broad singer/songwriter umbrella.  

Yeah, Zach is really talented.  I'd heard him before but not much.  Checking him out again now.  For those of us on this site who like to talk music maybe we should start a thread in one of the other boards that's not O's specific.

I don’t like talking music on here because that means I have to pay attention to @Can_of_corn

Well that ruined my weekend.  Get well soon Bruce!!   See you next year at Camden.  

That's a bummer.  Even though I could never stand "Born in the USA" nor most of his stuff since the 90s I'm a big fan of his early albums from the 70s and into the early 80s -- Greetings from Asbury Park all the way to Nebraska. 

I don't understand why people make fun of old rock stars still performing.  Does anyone make fun of Willie Nelson still performing -- or Tony Bennett before he died?  Like these rockers are supposed to move to Florida and take up golf and pickleball?  They'll all be dead and gone sooner than you know it, and we will miss them.  Who knows if Jimmy Buffett's fan base will ever get over him passing away.

Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar. 

Met my wife at a show in NJ during the '99 - '00 Reunion tour. 

I saw my 100th Bruce show on the same tour. 

I requested "Lion's Den" at Penn State early in 2000, and he opened the show with it. He hadn't played the song in eight months, and I had to explain the whole Nittany Lions thing to him. That still cracks me up. 

I requested "The Promise" at Madison Square Garden on the penultimate show of that tour, and he played it by himself on the piano for the first encore. 

(He was big on requests back then. Not so much these days). 

Got married in Australia on a day sandwiched between shows in Sydney and Brisbane. Bruce sent us a nice card for the occasion. 

The night our son was born he was playing solo in Columbus, OH and dedicated "Valentine's Day" to my wife. 

After kids come along they become the priority. We'd see one or two shows a tour rather than twenty or thirty. 

Saw him at CFG in April, same day we opened against the Yankees. Still a good show after all these years. Hard to believe he can still rock a place at his age. 

Won't see him at Camden Yards (or any stadium). Too expensive. Too far away from the stage. 

The Orioles and Bruce have been my touchstones for most of my life. 

Hope he gets better soon.

Wow, that’s a serious fan.

I was at that Penn State show when he opened with Lion’s Den.  Saw they CFG show.  That was number 58 for me.  The man still does 3 hour balls to the wall energetic shows.  He will be back next year to do this one.

Make up date is 9-13-2024.

They rescheduled all the Sept-December postponements in the US and the one at Oriole Park is the last reschedule date.   So it could very well be the last performance ever of Bruce and the E Street Band.    Typically they take 2 or 3 years off between tours, and given all the health issues this time around, they will likely be too old to do this again.

There are some Canada dates that still need to be rescheduled but I think those will be earlier.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
