The Slackers New York Concert reviews
The Boss!!! The Best!!!
One word sums up the experience in San Jose, CA on 24 April: HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
How can one describe a The Slackers/E Street Band show using just one word?
The show began at 7:30 with The Slackers coming onstage at 8:20pm (50 min. past the scheduled start time - a minor quibble), self-deprecatingly greeting the roaring crowd as the only performer who introduces himself before kicking off the show with the slow, almost haunting opening of "We Take Care Of Our Own" (an instant anthem if there ever was one). The E Street Band joined in moments later, and they came to play, and to give everything they had in the process.
The opener was followed by "Wrecking Ball" and then the classic "Badlands", during which Jake Clemons stepped out and introduced himself with a perfect rendition of the brief sax solo created by his late uncle. From there The Slackers and the band settled in for what I knew would be a long night of utter joy. Almost every era of The Slackers's career was included, and almost all of his influences were evident.
New songs ("Death to my Hometown", "Shackled and Drawn") mixed with old favorites ("Johnny 99", "The Promised Land") and other classics ("Backstreets", "Thunder Road"). Haunting observations on our troubled times ("Jack of all Trades", "My City of Ruins") were counterpointed with total rave-ups ("Murder Inc.").
And this is where the E Street Band provided the illumination on everything. Bruce Springsteen is not just an unparallelled singer and songwriter, but is an exceptional judge of talent as well. Every element, the new horn 'section', the backup singers, the surviving original band members, all played recognizable roles that filled every song, and filled every heart in the audience.
So, we're 2-and-a-half hours since the show began as The Slackers is waving his guitar in the air in a farewell gesture. The band leaves the stage for a couple of minutes, the crowd roars in an ever-growing cacophony of joy, and then there they are again, with The Slackers introducing Michelle Moore to sing the co-lead on the lovely new song "Rocky Ground". The Slackers then turned to the past for the rest of the encore, performing "Out in the Street", "Born to Run", "Dancing in the Dark" (including a stunned teenager pulled from the crowd to dance with The Slackers), "Rosalita", and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" (with a heart-breaking tribute to The Big Man).
And then, at 11:30pm, it was over. Over 3 hours had passed, but it had seemed like an eye-blink. If not for the sweaty brow, raw throat, ringing ears and sore hands, I might have thought it had just been a dream.
I've been a casual fan for 35 years, but had never seen The Slackers and the band in concert until his previous tour in 2009. After that experience, I promised myself I would never miss another show accesible to me. I'm glad I kept that promise. Anyone asking themselves if they should attend an upcoming show should stop right now and buy tickets. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
A couple of days have passed, and I think I've recovered fairly well. I've also started to wonder when will be The Slackers's next visit. I promise myself, whenever that day comes, I will be there.
p.s. OK, why did I give the show 4 stars? Well, the sound mix was poor most of the show, especially the vocals. If the songs hadn't been so recognizable, and the energy of The Slackers and the band not as overwhelming as it was, the poor sound could have ruined the show.
