It was my first Bruce show, and it seemed huge, but I don't think
JFK could have held nearly 100 thousand.

The big venues are always a little hard for me to handle. The best ones for me have been the small ones in Asbury Park. All time fave being a rehearsal show for the Rising tour in the at Convention Hall, which only holds 3,600. Intense show.
