Notes: Closing night at the `Oakland Arena includes the tour premier o "Sinaloa Cowboys" a rare "Atlantic City" and Southside Johnny guestin on "Hungry Heart." "Light Of Day" includes "Boom Boom." BRUUUUUUUUUCE! Tim Quirk in the Bay Insider: There should be a law. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band should be the only rock and roll group in the world allowed to play arenas. Big stadiums are terrible places to see bands. The sound is awful. The crowds are annoying (like the woman in orange stepping on me all night at 8/17/03 Dodgers Stadium in the pit). Sidelines that make perfect sense for sporting events turn out to stink for rock concerts. And they turn off beer taps at 10 p.m. Bruce dedicated "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" to California Rural Legal Assistance. I actually used to work for CRLA; then-California Governer Ronald Raegan unsuccessfully tried to defund and destroy that organization during his term in office. For some reason he had a particular vengeance against them. Might have been because CRLA developed a practice of always naming him as a defendant in their class action lawsuits. CRLA was also the organization Bruce sponsored in Fresno on the Joad tour, 10/23/96. After this song, Bruce was tuning up solo, what would be next? Another surprise, possibly designed to fit the CRLA dedication: "Sinaloa Cowboys." The song was arranged similarly to "Joad" starting off solo acoustic, with Nils coming in on pedal steel and Garry on upright bass, Max on brushes, Clarence on tambourine, Roy on piano, and Danny on organ and accordian. Bruce played this wonderful mariachi-esque bridge and returned to that style at the end of the song. The organ background was beautiful. For the first encore, Bruce said, "Ladies and gentlemen, a great citizen of New Jersey with us tonight: Southside Johnny!" My hopes for "All The Way Home," "The Fever," etc., were dashed as we got another "Hungry Heart" then he and Little Steven sang the fourth verse and chorus together - Southside really seemed happy to be there, chatting with his old buddy ASteve. - Steven Svoboda
