"Waitin' on a Sunny Day.."

I am having no luck with camera's at the moment so here are just a few Bruce photos I took on my phone.. 
He was amazing as usual. This being the fourth time I have been lucky enough to see him live and he never fails to blow the audience away. This show was dedicated to James Gandalfino who unfortunately passed away on Thursday and was a long time friend of guitarist Steve Van Zandt's from the Sopranos. But the most touching part of this show for me was during Tenth Avenue Freeze out: I had been told about the tribute the The Big Man, Clarence Clemmons last year but missed it due to Bruce being cut off at Hard Rock Calling in July. Following the line "and we made that change in town, and the Big Man joined the band" a montage of photos of the two band members showed on the screen whilst the band played on. It was lovely, and yes, I shed a tear cause I'm that pathetic. It is great to see that Clarence will never be forgotten, not that I can ever imagine that happening. His nephew Jake now fills in playing sax which is awesome, Jake manages to fill his uncle's huge shoes without taking his place and the crowd loves him. One girl being lucky enough to be pulled from the audience by the Boss so that she could "dance in the dark with Jake" as her sign requested. I am still so jealous. In fact, Bruce got a number of lucky people on stage with him this time, making peoples lives complete I imagine. 
My love of this 63 year old legend has often caused people to laugh and question my taste but I have given up trying to argue my point. His music is just something I don't think I could live without and that's that. You don't have to like him, but if you do, I'll probably love you a little bit more:) 
I just hope the "heart breakin', viagra takin', history makin'" E Street Band has at least one more tour left in them:) 

Anyone who follows me on instagram will have seen that this is what I wore..
It was such a warm muggy day that shorts were the only option and I went for my trusty Levis. Teamed with one of my favourite Urban Outfitters tee's, I can't get enough of their simple tops. Finally, I threw on my vintage denim jacket (denim on denim, oh yeah, I went there) and my shop dixi necklace, check out their online store www.shopdixi.com for some awesome pieces. And I was good to go!
