As a huge Springsteen fan, I was in awe being up close and personal with Max Weinberg, a member of the venerable E Street Band. Max was very personable, wandering in and out of the audience, mike in hand, inviting audience members to request songs from the band’s list of 200 songs, from artists such as Joe Walsh, the Beatles, Paul Simon, the Stones, the Hollies, and many others, and also inviting audience members onstage to assist with percussion duties. One memorable moment came when Max relinquished his drum kit to a member of the audience who he had earlier on discovered was a drummer, inviting him to play, with the band, the song of his choosing (a respectable “Wipeout”). The band members (from Jersey band The Weeklings, who have played with Styx among others), were no slouches and were great on vocals and guitars. Amazing to witness their ability to make the guitar take on the roll of Clarence’s sax on “She’s the One” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out”. A great show in a beautiful venue, well worth risking the icy roads to attend.
