This was my first Bruce show. Having not experieced much of Bruce's music, I took a gamble and drove up from Tulsa, OK. Because of this stellar live performance, I've traveled to a dozen or more of his shows since. This might be my favorite version of "The Way It Is."

Loved it when he switched from "The Way It Is" to the one of Bach's "Goldberg Variations", just like that, effortlessly.
Man that was great!

I love it when Bruce gets into his "two hand independence" jive...classic!
-
his lyrics are inspired

Pretty darned good for such a small camera. We just saw him at the Pageant and I have to say that the paying crowd is a much better audience! =)
I was there! I couldn't find myself in the crowd though. It was a free show under the Arch. Thanks for posting this.

This was an awesome show. I can only get about 9-10 minutes of video with my little kodak, but for a camera the size of a deck of cards, the audio is awesome. I waited for this song so I could get the whole thing. Definitely worth the wait. Too bad about the drunk a-hole whistling, spilling beer, and burning people with cigarettes. The only thing keeping me (and others) from putting him to sleep is my peaceful nature, and the fact that I was in the presence of greatness.

Wow, whats with that helicopter flying by at the beginning? I'm surprised Bruce didn't notice it! Great sound!

The helicopter was giving rides out over the river during the whole show. Kind of a cool visual with it taking off behind the stage.
