Here's a picture from way back when
We were all that we could be
I still remember that day with you
How the minutes and hours flew
How your smile overtook me
It was the first time I felt the sun
As you are, as you are, as you are
And everytime that I see your face
No, know no one ever could take your place
'Cause you made it easy, as you are, as you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
However you are
Just as you are you're all that I need
You'll see that the world gets the best of me
You're all that I need just as you are
And just as you are, you're all that I need
You'll see that the world gets the best of me
You're all that I need, just as you are
As you are
As you are
As you are

Well look what the cat dragged in
Surprised and happy to see you again after a long time
Here's a picture from way back when
Remembering an old memory together
We were all that we could be
Feeling content and happy with their past selves
I still remember that day with you
Recollecting a specific day spent together
How the minutes and hours flew
The time spent together passed quickly and effortlessly
How your smile overtook me
Being overwhelmed with joy by their partner's smile

Their partner brought light and happiness into their life for the first time
I knew that you were the only one for me, plain and simple
Realizing that their partner was the perfect match for them

Maybe because the fans are really close to the band. No 20 meters space between stagebarriers and stage. Stage isn't 20 meters high and offcourse a smaller venue with only (die-hard) fans. I have no idea but no golden area.
I think music industry should rethink about this and get fans closer to band to get them more involved in the concerts. Just my thoughts about it maybe one of the reasons Bruce is one of the few who wants to get closer to his fans instead of playing on a stage 20 meters further away and 20 meters higher.
Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger and Bruce they really want to keep their fans close and it gives them a lot of energy.
Also my opinion there is a big difference if an artist thinks he has to entertain people or he show his work and his knowledge to the people who loves them. When you entertain people you just aren't that passioned about your talent/work anymore (just the money). If you want to show the people your talent, your knowlede then it's passion. I think Bruce his last tour feels more about entertainment anymore. I saw a couple weeks ago John Fogerty and i didn't believe his songs anymore he's just greedy sing his songs and that's it. It is a whole different dynamic.
Entertainment <> Passion it's whole different angle. Passion is Bob Dylan for me he just don't care about the music industry shit he's really passioned about music and wants to spread his work. The moment Dylan thinks he has to the to entertainment people I think he stops living. To return to Bruce you'll see this show is pure passion and that's what made him so big. Here he's just passioned about his work (Risin' album), album, e-street band.

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line
Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line
Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life ( a dream of life)
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

It’s amazing how much an audience can amplify the energy of a performance. He blew the goddamn roof off with this one.
