Everybody's Got a Hungry Hartford

One more time for Bruce in the neighborhood, sorta, which means another E Streeter road trip.  This one, luckily, passed right by the front doors of Holy Cross, which meant we could pick up Andrew and have opportunities for father-son moments like this one, during Bruce's anthemic Born to Run

First though, a trip to Hartford wouldn't be complete with a solicitation of Angelino's Italian restaurant, home of the obscene portion sizes.  Pre-show, Martin, Barry and Andrew were ready to give the menu their thumbs up

Salud!  Iced tea, iceless Sprite, and Pepsi all around!

Inside the Hartford XL Center, we stop for a shot with Bruce

Heading to our respective seats, the father-son tandem strikes a pose made famous by my father

Once Bruce got the show underway, he wasted no time at all wading into the floor crowd of thousands to body surf back to the stage during his hit Hungry Heart

Partway through the show, Andrew and I made a beeline for a seat upgrade, grabbing some primo seats on Nils' side of the stage

 As always, Bruce used the entire stage to his advantage.  I only pray I'm that nimble when I'm 63 years old

Once again, Bruce braves the crowd during 10th Avenue Freeze Out, which included a touching tribute to deceased band members Clarence "Big Man" Clemons and "Phantom" Dan Federici

Potentially one of the best pictures I've ever taken of Andrew.  Clearly, he's pretty happy to be at yet another Bruce show.

 Take a bow, E Street band!

With unforgettable songs like a Bruce-solo-on-piano For You, a raucous 15-minute version of Kitty's Back, a rip-roaring Pink Cadillac and a rarity opening of Held Up Without a Gun, Bruce and the E Street Band delivered yet again, clocking in with a three-hour, fifteen minute marathon session.  Truly, this is the stuff of memory, and the father-son experiences that can never be quantified.  Tramps like us, indeed.
