I wasn't planning on seeing Bruce Springsteen, but I am very glad I did. My roommate Eileen was on a concert kick and had never seen the Boss live. She asked if I wanted to go, and who am I to refuse. Plus, I had never been to Giants Stadium, so why not. Here's the setlist:
Summertime Blues
Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
Radio Nowhere
Prove It All Night
Two Hearts
The Promised Land
Spirit In The Night
Light Of Day
Brilliant Disguise
Pretty Flamingo [Tour Premiere]
Blinded By The Light
Cadillac Ranch
Candy's Room
Night
Because The Night
She's The One
Livin' In The Future
Mary's Place
Incident On 57th Street
The Rising
Last To Die
Long Walk Home
Badlands
Jungleland
Born To Run
Bobby Jean
Dancing In The Dark
American Land
Jersey Girl [Tour Premiere]
Rosalita
* Brilliant Disguise is one of my favorite songs so that was a highlight. Radio Nowhere is my favorite new song of the year, so it was great to hear that live.
* I was honestly more excited to see Eileen at her first Bruce concert. She had a great time and exceeded all of her expectations.
* The show didn't start until 9:30 and the natives were definitely getting restless. But all was forgiven with the opening notes of "Summertime Blues" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out".
* Really cool to hear "Jersey Girl". It was one of those songs I never intended to hear live.
* During "Because the Night", Nils did a sommersault during his guitar solo. It's easy to forget the E Street Band are in their 50s and older.
* Bruce Springsteen has such an amazing stage presence. It's one thing to like his music and a completely different monster seeing him live. He played for over three hours and just gave his all. He really makes the effort to earn the fans money.
Quote of the Day:
"Blow away the dreams that tear you apart / Blow away the dreams that break your heart / Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted" -Bruce Springsteen, "The Promised Land"
