Saw Tramps like us for the 1st time. They were great! Really enjoyed the concert!
Heard rave reviews about this band! Was not disappointed!
Tramps Like Us play a wide variety of Springsteen and the E Street Band songs to perfection!!
I’ve been to many Springsteen concerts and seen many Springsteen cover bands. My husband and I traveled to The Stone Pony to see where it all began, and dance to some greatest hits. The tickets said 7pm start. I know that’s never true, but the venue never opened the doors until 7. We stood in the cold for longer that I care to. There were very few tables and chairs, some of which were reserved. I normally stand when it’s dance time, but the band came on after 8:30. The band didn’t break out all the dance tunes, they played the sober songs. I enjoy those songs mixed in, but I like to sit which was not possible. Also, no songs were back to back, a significant pause between songs made the standing unbearable. Not a show I will see again.
Good rendition of Springsteen music.Had a fantastic drummer
Great night on July 14 with Tramps Like Us re-creating Bruce's show at the Roxy in the Summer of 1978! The band is absolutely phenomenal ... if you close your eyes you'd swear it was the E Street Band.
Great show, excellent musicians and the Stone Pony is a great venue to see a band!
Tramps Like Us played the Darkness on the Edge of Town album fabulously and in full, then played another two hours and twelve minutes of hits, rarities, and sign requests. It was my fourth time seeing them, and by far my favorite. They’re always great but this was above and beyond.
The show was amazing! I love the band and the Stone Pony is a fabulous venue! I’d definitely recommend both!!
Loved the show! Hope to come back! Sounded just like the E Street Band!!!
The 2 hour drive was well worth it! The Boss (Tramps Like Us) played first. They were great. The guy playing Bruce sounded almost like Bruce himself. They played Born To Run in its entirety and several other songs as well. Lots of energy, great musicians and great sound. Billy (Movin' Out) were also great. The guy playing Billy didn't sound as much like Billy as the guy playing Bruce sounded like Bruce, but he was still really good. His piano playing was excellent as was the rest of the band. They played the Stranger in its entirety and several other songs as well. While the Springsteen songs had more energy overall, both bands were very enjoyable. NYCB Theatre at Westbury is a great place to see a show. It's a very small theater. If you can't get tickets to see the real thing, both of these bands are well worth seeing. They might not be Bruce and Billy, but they ain't bad!! And because they aren't Bruce or Billy, the venues they'll play in are much smaller than the ones Bruce and Billy would play in, making it much more of an intimate setting.
Just saw Billy meets the Boss in Westbury Ny great show, both Bands were high energy and did an impressive job recreating the sound and feel of their respective hero. Tramps Like Us began with Born to Run in order and nailed every note finishing with some other fan favorites such as Glory Days, Dancing In the Dark and Rosalita which brought a few of them out into the audience. The Movin Out Band began with Miami 2017 then moved into the Stranger album doing a fantastic job on each and every song this was great value for a Friday night out
Show was great especially Tramps Like Us they were amazing
Wonderful show and was a great price. They did an hour and 15 minutes of great music. Everyone that I knew there enjoyed it. One of the best shows ever. I hope they come back again.
This band was amazing! Loved loved loved the show and the Stone Pony is an awesome venue! Great time. I'd go again in a heartbeat!
Tramps put on a fantastic show----they play with a ton of passion and energy. It's really like hearing the E Street Band!!
Tramps Like Us show last night at the Pony was kind of a dream come true. If I was bored and daydreaming in an English class in high school, this would be close to the list of songs i would write on the back of my notebook for a Perfect Bruce Springsteen concert. The fact that Bruce himself played this exact concert on Aug 30, of this year, at MetLife Stadium makes me happy that Bruce finally was on the same wavelength as his longtime fans and makes me sad that I didn't see it. Thank God then for TLU recreating it so quickly after it happened. TLU have been recreating concerts since literally the first time I saw them back on Feb. 11, 2010 (looked it up) at BB King's. That night they did the Capitol show from September 1978. Over the years they've recreated more iconic shows from 1975, 1978, 1980 and "the last great Bruce concert" from August 1984. That was before he got married and divorced and married again, had kids, moved to LA, broke up the E Street band and his music had some great moments, but got increasingly ordinary over those years. So TLU's shows mostly reflect the Golden Age of his music, the first Magnificent 7 albums. And for some reason, Bruce himself played 3 shows in Jersey 6 weeks ago highlighting those albums (but only one song from Nebraska). Pulling 4 or 5 songs from each. With a few select covers mixed in and only two "newer" songs. One of the newer songs is now 24 years old. LOL TLU played all 34 songs from that night, plus one extra for a neat 35. Bruce played for 4 hours and 1 minute, TLU I think played for 4:05 They came on at around 8:40, took a 10 minute break and finished at about 12:55. A lot of practice had to go into this show as they played a few songs that I've never even heard them play, and Ive seen them about 15 times now. If I was to pick my 5 favorite songs other than Born to Run and Rosalita, they would be Candy's Room, Out In the Streets, Its Hard to be a Saint in the City, Jungleland and New York City Serenade. All 5 made it into this show!!!! I've seen Bruce 12 times across 9 tours and I've only heard him play three of these songs ever and Candy's Room only twice. I never heard him play NYC Serenade, so what a treat to hear TLU lead off with it, as Bruce did Aug. 30. Note for note. Perfect. Then they played Bruce's first song off his first album, Blinded By the Light and they were off and running. Adding their own signature to these iconic songs. Like during Blinded they finish off big with a bit of the Manfred Mann version. Throughout the night they played the songs in order but with their own flourishes. Like She's the One, pounding out a concussive Bo Diddley/Not Fade Away finale. "The Animal" Marty Matelli hits the bass drum with such a force that you feel your heart being blasted through your back. 35 songs. You are lucky if you get 20 songs from most live bands. And what percentage of those do you really like? Here, 26 of the Bruce songs I love. And 4 of the covers, too. The only two songs I didn't care for were a Manfred Mann cover called Pretty Flamingo and 1992's Living Proof. The one song they added to the setlist, which was mysteriously not in the original show was Thunder Road. The crowd more than happy to sing at the top of their lungs, whenever birthday boy Mark Salore was a bit too tired to do it on his own. The highlight of the night? For me and judging by the response of the crowd was one of the last songs, Animal House's Shout (Isley Brothers). People jumping, clapping, singing, getting pumped despite the long night and late hour. There are few seats at the Pony and none on the hard floor, so if you are committed, you are standing and dancing for 4 hours. Well when Mark sang the part, "get a little bit lower now, get a little bit lower now" 90% of the mostly middle aged crowd squatted as best they could, but one woman's Pilates classes worked for her and she got almost down to the ground as the song intends. My knees were screaming, so there was no chance. LOL Finally, the newest addition to the band is a real find. John "G-Man" Winton, a graduate of Vassar, this stellar Saxophonist seemed like a real one man show. On stage playing guitar, mandolin, percussion, very important keyboard parts and singing both low and high notes when need be, like on Summertime Blues "I was too young to vote." Plus at times he looked like a real fan of Bruce's music, watching him watch Mark play certain difficult Springsteen parts and having a big thumbs up in his smile. Can you applaud your bandmate? Your band leader? It looked like he wanted to a couple of times. 5 Bananas (out of 5)
Great show guys!!! Awesome job! The band came out ready to play and left it all out on the stage!
The Band & lead vocalist were great. The choice of songs played was poor. They chose some very obscure / unpopular songs to perform from Springsteen's earliest albums. The lead singer is extremely talented but the set list played is questionable....
