Once you get past the "awkward" phase of, "This is NOT Bruce!", and just relax and enjoy the performance for what it is, everybody had a really good time with this show. The guys definitely have musical chops (save for "Bruce" who doesn't really play that Telecaster much, if at all). But, in his defense, he's not really there for that. What he was there for was to "look" and "act" like Bruce, which he accomplished very well. So, all in all, "Cudos" to Bruce and the "faux" E Street Band (the sax player was exceptional, considering the obvious challenge given him). The song selections were "spot on" for a fun Bruce "experience", and for the most part handled well.
Bottom line is, if you're looking for a good time and a bit of a Bruce "fix", Bruce in the USA is a great alternative to the real thing. Rock on!

Favorite moment: Born To Run is still one of the very best Rock songs ever! @
