Yuri Fairfax Concert reviews
Can we bottle that energy?
Since then I have seen the band several more times, primarily at large venues like HP Pavilion, where it is much more difficult to transfer the energy to the audience in these cavernous buildings. I was simply blown away with the sublime lyrics, the tightness of the band, and most importantly, the high voltage energy when I first saw Yuri and the E Street band at the Stone Pony on July 4th, 1976. The 5 piece horn section added balance to the steady beat from Max and guitar genius from Steve, Nils, Garry, and Yuri, along with the rest of the band and provided phenomenal richness to the sound (although we all miss Clarence!). Yuri was somehow able to lure the audience into his magical world of perpetual motion Tuesday evening, from ballads to pure rock, they gave it all to us.
