If Springsteen and The E street band retired I could survive as long as Tramps Like Us is there to fill the void. I've seem them dozens of times, but this show may of been one of the best! A special magic was in the air and I was not the only one who felt that way. THIS BAND IS AMAZING! Unlike any other cover or tribute band you will EVER SEE!Written on May 17 2010

I have been a huge Springsteen fan for years, and I'm very particular about covers of his music. Tramps Like Us has captured the best essence of the Boss for about 20 years now, or close to it. They really are a fabulous band, if you're a Bruce Springsteen fan. Well worth the trip to Manhattan.Written on Feb 12 2010

What an amazing show!Written on Feb 13 2009
Nearly 3 hours without a break of classic Springsteen cira. 1978.
Power & Passion, from what has to be the best cover or tribute band I've ever seen!!! And I've seen quite a few in my day.
Best bang for my buck in a LONG time!
If you like Springsteen at all, GO SEE TRAMPS LIKE US!
I was exhausted just watching them. I don't know how they can play that long and not take a break?
BRAVO TRAMPS!
Thank You for a memorable night in NYC

Description
Tramps Like Us brings more than two decades of road-tested musicianship to the stage - two decades that have won this band the hard-earned distinction of being the planet's most revered Bruce Springsteen tribute band.
With a repertoire of more than 100 songs, Tramps Like Us is dedicated to enjoying and sharing Springsteen's music in a live setting. Unlike other "tribute" bands, who attempt to impersonate or emulate their source in every respect, from looks to clothing and gestures, Tramps Like Us concentrates on the music itself. The group captures the Springsteen sound and the true spirit and energy of the songs, delivering them with the passion and conviction of The Boss.
In keeping with the tradition of a typical Springsteen concert, Tramps prides itself on long and intense concerts, often playing three-and-a-half to four-hour shows, at times without a break. Tramps has been able to cover up to 36 songs on any given night.
June 8, 2012: August 20, 1984
In its continuing series of re-creating classic and historic Springsteen concerts, tonight at B.B. King Blues Club Tramps Like Us will recreate what has been dubbed: "The Last Great Show" - Springsteen's August 20th, 1984 concert, which was the final show of Springsteen's historic 10-night sold-out stand at Brendan Byrne/Meadowlands Arena in NJ. This show featured the Miami Horns on "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" (later used on the Live 1975-85 set) and "Drift Away," which also featured surprise guest Little Steven Van Zandt, Springsteen's former guitarist and closest confidant. This show was Van Zandt's first appearance with The E Street Band since his departure from the group a year earlier.
The set list from this historic concert includes: "Born in the U.S.A.," "Out in the Street," "Spirit in the Night," "Atlantic City," "Johnny 99," "Highway Patrolman," "I'm Going Down," Darlington County," "Glory Days," "The Promised Land," "My Hometown," "Darkness on the Edge of Town," "Badlands," "Thunder Road," "Hungry Heart," "Dancing in the Dark," "Cadillac Ranch," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," "No Surrender," "Cover Me," "Prove It All Night," "Pink Cadillac," "Growin' Up," "Bobby Jean," "Backstreets," "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," "Jungleland," "Two Hearts," "Drift Away," "Born to Run," "Detroit Medley," "Do You Love Me," and "Twist and Shout."
