"There's a bit of clipping here and there. Great performance from the band but I hope the limiting on the next releases to be a tad lowered to avoid the pops. Great sound quality anyway. The best sounding tour yet, the second in line being 84'-85' and The River 2016-2017 for me. They got the sound together in a big way. Greatest stage comeback of any rockstar, I enjoyed every track and as every Bruce concert, it's a whole damn rollercoaster of emotions."

"Time Machine. Great show, full of old favorites and new hits. If there was ever the ability to travel back in time and recapture the "Glory Days" it comes in the form of a Bruce concert. The Tampa crowd was full of energy and enthusiasm. 5 stars! Full throated , raw talent, truly inspired. Loved it."

"Nice set list but could have gone without a few, kitty back, candy room, Johnny 99 and wrecking ball. Where’s thunder road? Hoping for Jungleland, racing in the street, nyc serenade, incident on 57 street, drive all night by the show in Buffalo "
