Set List: (Order may be off a little)

1. The Great Divide
2. I'm in Love

5. Valley Road
6. The Red Plains
7. China Doll
8. End of the Innocence
9. Mandolin Rain
10. The Way It Is

The performance was delayed for over an hour due to some trouble setting up the microphones for the orchestra. When it finally began there were still a few technical problems, the bass guitar drowned out the piano during "The Great Divide" and the piano's microphone cut in and out a number of times.

Fortunately, by the second song most the bugs were all fixed. I applaud the idea of bringing in the symphony, but the band played with the usual "concert" style fervor and almost completely drowned them out. Another problem was that with a symphony playing with Bruce, he's not able to take requests from the audience.

Bruce was perfect, showing off his awesome ability at improvisation and his well known incredible intros. I found myself getting a little disappointed sometimes when he would play a few chords of one song and then pull into a different tune. Don't get me wrong, I love all his songs, I just really wanted to hear "Every Little Kiss". I also think that because the majority of the crowd was at the concert simply to see a concert, Bruce stuck to his more "well known" songs.

After the show my friends and I hung around and I was able to get a picture with Bruce and an autograph. Bruce really knows how to treat his fans.
