At 2 pm, thee were already 20 people waiting ahead if me to get into the pit at Bonnaroo for the Springsteen set. Die hards and first timers.. we could barely contain our excitement.

They let a few dozen “industry” people in first to cries if bullshit, and when we got in, it was a row or two back from the front. It was a very tall guy who let the little girl with the ” I heart NJ” stand in front of him.

As Bruce made several trips down to us and finally brought up the Jersey girl on stage…we all realized we had the best seats in the house. (and with no camera and a dying phone, those images will remain my memory.)
