Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
Arco Arena, Sacramento
Friday, April 4th

April 4th was no ordinary Friday in Sacramento. If you were one of the fortunate in attendance at The Boss’ sold out Arco Arena show you know that nothing was held back. Springsteen has an emotional connection with his fans that is undeniable and his strong convictions and politics run thick through the heart of his timeless “all American Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

From start to finish the energy of the two-hour plus show was amazing, and seemingly endless. Springsteen himself felt this, exclaiming, “Stop me before I hurt myself!” The spirit of this night? Sacramento, you got rocked hard by the houserocking, pants dropping, brain-shocking, earthquaking, booty-shaking, Viagra-taking, lovemaking, sexifying, electrifying legendary E Street Band!

More photos by Pamela Morgan after the jump. (more…)

Synthesis sent photographer extrordinaire Pamela Morgan to catch The Boss last Friday night in Sacramento. Due to photo stipulations she was positioned more than 100 feet back (the Boss needs his space, aiight?), but she managed to capturesome great moments, including this wicked shot of Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt (Silvio lives!) and Max Weinberg.

We’ll have more photos and Pam’s report in the next few days. Maybe we’ll even get the photos up on our photo section…uh…coming soon.

Since you may have forgotten to mark your calendars, we’re hitting you with this info today. Tomorrow, October 16th, is National Boss Day. And while I initially thought, “Shit yeah, a day devoted to Springsteen? About frickin’ time!” I quickly realized that tomorrow is actually about this:

Wikipedia says that Boss Day is a time honored tradition. It dates back to 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski registered October 16th as a thank you to her loving boss…who also happened to be her father. However, the entry also notes that Boss Day is widely criticized as a Hallmark Holiday, and just another way to kiss ass. And since my boss told us that we should do more blogging today, I guess this is my way of doing both. Happy Boss Day, Bill.
