This morning's online edition of "The Roanoke Times" reports that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are coming to Dave Matthews' hometown of Charlottesville, Va., to perform at John Paul Jones Arena. on April 30th.
'The Boss' has a new album out, and apparently rock critics are giving it good reviews.
Tickets will cost more than a shopping spree at Target this time of year as they will range from $67-$97 (I love the way us bloggers can put subjective spins on these things- a luxury I never had as a reporter.)
For those of you who have the time, the money and the transportation, tickets go on sale Friday morning at 10 a.m.
In a column about a Van Halen concert in Greensboro in "Yes Weekly!" several weeks ago, Brian Clarey reported that concert-goers came from as far away as St. Louis to come see the band which now has David Lee Roth back as lead singer.
Perhaps, someone will come from Seattle (where Dave Matthews now lives) to see Brrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuce.
John Paul Jones Arena was also the site of a recent concert by The Police.
Alas, big concerts seem to be a thing of the past for my hometown of Roanoke, Va., though they did have a big concert from The David Matthews Band at the late Victory Stadium a few years back. And, I did meet some college students at the Denny's in Salem who came down from Hartford for that show!
The singer Bruce I know, Greensboro folk singer Bruce Piephoff, is performing in Manhattan on New Year's Eve.
And, there is a singer Bruce from Virginia_ Bruce Hornsby (from Williamsburg), but to my knowledge his recent show in Greensboro did not charge $70 for the nose-bleed section. But, of course, fans of Jersey Bruce probably have no such qualms. In fact, they are probably busy buying copies of his new cd at Target.................if they haven't already!
