Bruce Springsteen – 9/21/2012
Derry, Mike, me, Bob, MaryAnn, and Steven.
My brother Bob is visiting from San Diego. After learning Bruce was playing at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ (which I still think of as Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands, although those days are long gone), he quickly got tickets. None of us have seen him play in a number of years, and we were excited! Derry is here from the UK, and he was more than happy to come along. It was a fantastic show! Wow!
I had my iPhone and was able to take some pictures and video. The show started at 8:28, and he played:
1. “Living on the Edge of the World”
2. “Out in the Street”
3. “Night”
4. “Hungry Heart”
5. “No Surrender”
6. “Lost in the Flood”
7. “We Take Care of Our Own”
8. “Wrecking Ball”
9. “Death to My Hometown”
10. “My City of Ruins”
11. “Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?”
12. “Jole Blon” (with Gary U.S. Bonds)
13. “This Little Girl” (with Gary U.S. Bonds)
14. “From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)”
15. “Talk to Me”
16. “This Depression”
17. “Shackled and Drawn”
18. “Mary’s Place”
19. “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day”
20. “Incident on 57th Street”
21. “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)” — which was fantastic, AND, I have about 2.5 minutes of it on a rocking video!
ENCORES
22. “Rocky Ground”
23. “Born to Run”
24. “Ramrod”
25. “Bobby Jean”
26. “Dancing in the Dark”
27. “Tenth Avenue Freeze-out” (with Gary U.S. Bonds) — also incredible, and I loved the tribute to Clarence
28. “American Land” (with Gary U.S. Bonds)
The show was over 11:37. I loved the new stadium and look forward to one of these days seeing the Giants play there.
