So much to say about the weekend. We started with a fantastic Bruce Springsteen show on Friday night. Yeah, maybe it was not his best ever show, but we were blow away. Look at the crowd! And we were way up, in Section 318. The music set list is here. He started with "Prove it All Night," and the he did, for nearly 3 1/2 hours. "Hungry Heart" was fantastic; he came into the crowd people loved it. We really enjoyed some of his newer tracks like "Death to my Hometown," "Shackled and Drawn," "We Take Care of our Own," and the Irish inspired "American Land." Highlights included, of course, his encore songs of "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run." "Dancing in the Dark" got everyone dancing, as did his Detroit Motown hits. "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" featured his tribute to Clarence Clemons, which featured a touching moment of silence.
It was one of the best concerts we've been too, I think. Just rousing, fun, and fantastic music. Credit goes to the E Street Band. They put on one hell of a show. When we were leaving, some guy said this was their 58th concert. Twice a year since about 1979, give or take. Wow. He's been in the music business longer than we've been alive, since the early 1970s. Springsteen was big in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and now today. And he remains as relevant as ever. It certainly was a bucket list concert, and we'd certainly go again.
