That is an interesting tour, focusing on a small subset of the country (mostly East Coast) and doing two days in most cities. Bruce is always a good show, but I am really curious to see how the new sax-a-ma-phone player fits into the fold. I am sure fine, but he...or she...will have big shoes to fill literally and figuratively.

Substitute Clarence for Lisa and this is how I feel.
