The Boss is too loud

I was selling beer at the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert last night at The Schott. I tried adding a concert sample to my Cinch audio blog, but it seems that The Boss was too loud for either my cell phone (where I tried to make the recording) or the BlogTalkRadio stuff making the recording on the receiving end. Either way, the recording just didn't work, so you'll have to take my word for it - the concert sounded good. Well, good for a concert in The Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center which has horrid acoustics. To be honest, I heard most of it from my post at a beer cart as far away from the stage as one can get in the arena. We did close up shop in time for me to watch the encore from a better vantage point. I love Max Weinburg - he is so not the prototypical rock-and-roll drummer, the guy just lays down a solid groove. After two and a half hours of pounding the skins, he did look like he was about to die, at least in the giant TV screen close-ups. Maybe they're Bruce's core fans, or maybe they're the only ones who could afford the ticket prices, but it was an older crowd. Hardly had to card anyone.

I'll try the audio blog thing from Nationwide Arena if I get to work the Hank Williams show next month.
