Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band Play Fenway Park In Boston - Fantastic Performances, Here's A Taste But No Help For The Red Sox

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band played Fenway Park in Boston this past week. Nothing more needs to be said other than this Yankee fan wished he was there. Here's some of what happened. Enjoy.

Opening with Take Me Out To The Ball Game and The Promised Land.



Later Tenth Avenue Freeze Out with a tribute to the Big Man Clarence Clemons.



 
Springsteen's Boston fans even got Dirty Water



and the Dropkick Murphy's American Land.



Holy Crap said one fan as Bruce greeted fans as he was leaving Fenway.

Hope to see him in NYC soon.

Some Boston Red Sox fans are hoping that Springsteen's 2012 Fenway Concerts, like his 2003 concerts, are an omen of better days ahead for their team this season. According to Peter Gammons at MLB:

The last time Bruce Springsteen played Fenway Park was 2003. He opened with an homage to Boston music by playing the Remains' version of "Diddy Wah Diddy," and the highlight was his exorcism of the mythical curse at the wall during an unforgettable version of "Mary's Place." And, of course, a year later, the curse was broken, Boston won two World Series in four years, and all was right and good in Red Sox Nation.

Bruce returns to Fenway on Tuesday, with loyalists begging that his tribute to The Olde Towne Team be "The Rising." There have been no pennants since 2007, no postseason series won since the American League Division Series in '08, and the Red Sox haven't even made the playoffs since '09....

But I doubt it.

Jeter Does it Again!!!

Spent the weekend away from Roosevelt Island in Boston to attend Sunday's Yankee/Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Fenway is a beautiful place to see a baseball game and I had a great time - made even better by the exciting game coming down to a classic Mariano/Big Papi bases loaded, 2-out, bottom-of-the-ninth confrontation, won by the greatest closer in baseball history, and an eighth inning three run homer by Derek Jeter, respectfully referred to as Captain Intangible or just CI by knowledgeable Red Sox fans.

During this past summer, I noticed several Roosevelt Islanders wearing Red Sox T-Shirts and Hats. For those of you who root for the Red Sox I recommend you take a look at a great Red Sox fan site - The Sons of Sam Horn. I met several of the Sons and they treated this Yankee fan with respect and friendship. If you love your Sox, you will get a big kick out of this site.
