A really special night for me.

It was my first Patti show and we had tickets for both shows.
We stayed in the club between shows noticed another couple sitting
near the front of the stage after the club emptied out.
It was Bruce Springsteen and his girlfriend.
I summoned the nerve to go up to Bruce and remind him that we had talked
a few months earlier at the Roxy in LA. I told him my sad story of how
I had tried everything I could think of
to find a couple of tickets for his New Year�s Eve show in Phillie but no
one was parting with any tickets.
He told me �here put your name on this piece of paper and I�ll leave
a couple for you at the box office�.
New Year�s Eve came and my wife and I drove four hours
in sleet and snow from Ft Lee, NJ to Phillie relying on Bruce�s promise.
Sure enough the tickets were there and it was a classic show to end
the Born to Run tour.

Patti�s late show was a killer as well.
