The Boss played *WAR!(...what is it good for?)* in Austin TX last nite

fans on brucespringsteen.net have been anticipating a per4mance of this song.

what a statement 2 make...the 1st per4mance of "WAR!" 4 The Rising Tour...
& it's right in Bush's backyard.

he often played this back in the 80s & a live version on the 2DVD Anthology set is killer.

according 2 show reviews from fans...he didnt say anything b4 playing "WAR!" regarding IRAQ etc...
just the E*STREET band & he opened the show with the song & the rest of the night's setlist looked very cool also.

hope he plays it at the Melbourne gig i'm going 2 March 20th.

Springsteen is perhaps the greatest living musician and it's amazing how relevent he still is after 30 years.

No matter what Bruce plays when you see him you will have a great time.
