Boss: Trapped in Seattle
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?
Jon
It’s still on there. Click on the joker head icon.

I even bought into the signs from the pit ! Of all the rock stars , past and present, Bruce is the straightest. Duh ! I’m a bit slow !

They still have some of the old ones, too:

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
