Lots of crazy rumors have been going around about this photo above, and apparently I am also guilty of spreading inaccurate speculation about the night Bruce played Gene’s bass on stage. The facts surrounding it were rather quite simple – There was some dead-space during the show, for whatever reason, and in Bruce’s words in a past Tweet:

“I was left on stage during my solo, then I freaked out and grabbed Gene’s bass. Crazy story!”

Nothing too dramatic as I, and many fans have imagined. Regardless, this is an awesome, out-of-character image of Bruce and hopefully this simple explanation can put to rest all the fan-boy conspiracy theories that have been going around.

Below are some more photos I took that night:
