What they’re saying

“What I do is a very simple thing. I tell my guys, 'Go out and see what everybody else is doing. Let's charge a little less.' That's generally the directions. They go out and set it up. For the past 49 years or however long we've been playing, we've pretty much been out there under market value. I've enjoyed that. It's been great for the fans.”

— Bruce Springsteen

“This time I told them, 'Hey, we're 73 years old. The guys are there. I want to do what everybody else is doing, my peers.'”

— Bruce Springsteen
