  • This was the concert when Bruce added “Because the Night” to the encores to capitalize on the recognition of Patti Smith’s cover version that was already a hit single. I’ll take the following night on May 31st as the superior concert for the reason that my favorite version of “The Promise” was played by Bruce on the piano. So, I’m more partial to the bootleg known as Looking For That Million Dollar Sound. Regardless, Bruce was becoming the king of Boss-ton.
