Boss: Trapped in Seattle

April 1st, 2008 by Pete - - Posted in The Boss |

I made it the whooole day without falling for an April Fool’s prank. That is until I read the Backstreets review of last night’s show in Vancouver, BC. Good God, I believed the Anne Murray bit. I believed until I saw the Photoshopped Weird Al on stage with Bruce. *shakes head*

Here’s the opener from Seattle a couple of nights ago: Jimmy Cliff’s “Trapped” - a tune that also made it into last night’s non-April Fool’s Vancouver set list!

Trapped (mp3 from Seattle, March 29th)

Ever heard the Jimmy Cliff original? Vastly different than the E Street version…

    They do that every year. If it makes you feel any better, I fell for it 2 years in a row. One year, I was disappointed in him, b/c it said something to the effect that he was going to license his songs for commercials. Not that I don’t think he has a right to, but he’s resisted for so long. It’s sad/funny to think I got _that_ upset about it.

    I fell for it ! Sure glad it wasn’t true. When I read it I ACTUALLY thought that I was glad I wasn’t there.

    Ha! Good to see I’m not alone… Backstreets already removed the April Fool’s joke - can anyone find any kind of link?

    Thanks for the trapped mp3. You got access to the whole show. I’d love to have it as my good friends went to the gig. It’d make a great gift
