U2start.com | Bruce Springsteen

Fantastic time last night .

Bruce walked on stage at exactly 8pm....said "good night Florida" at 1125...holy cow...no encore breaks , just straight through for over 3 hrs !

E Street Band sounded amazing..much better then my last show here in South Florida (04.29.14)

33 song set , shockingly , the South Florida crowd was very loud and fired up , no doubt due to the many a New York/ NJ transplants like myself . Whenever Bruce mentioned NJ , everyone went ballistic.......arena was jammed pact .

The River took just about 2 hrs to complete..Lil Steven , while not exactly on the same level as Nils (as far as guitar skills) , is such a pleasure to have on stage . He was absent at my last show 2 yrs ago ( as was Patti) , and it just didn't feel right . Last night he was in his usual form..cracking everyone up with his expressions that only he can do lol

The River : MEET ME IN THE CITY / THE TIES THAT BIND / SHERRY DARLING / JACKSON CAGE / TWO HEARTS - IT TAKES TWO / INDEPENDENCE DAY / HUNGRY HEART / OUT IN THE STREET / CRUSH ON YOU / YOU CAN LOOK (BUT YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH) / HERE SHE COMES - I WANNA MARRY YOU / THE RIVER / POINT BLANK / CADILLAC RANCH / I'M A ROCKER / FADE AWAY / STOLEN CAR / RAMROD / THE PRICE YOU PAY / DRIVE ALL NIGHT / WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY ...how Meet me in the City was left off the River is still a mystery to me..same goes for Roulette ...

standouts : the great Point Blank , the River , Out in The Street , Drive All Night ..just love that tune . Hungry Heart went over as it always does , amazing to see Bruce crowd surfing and having a blast still at age 65 !!

BADLANDS / WRECKING BALL / MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN / BECAUSE THE NIGHT / BRILLIANT DISGUISE / THE RISING / THUNDER ROAD / BORN TO RUN / DANCING IN THE DARK / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) / BOBBY JEAN / SHOUT

standouts : BADLANDS !!!!!! , My Love Will Not Let You Down , Because The Night and ROSALITA !!!!!

Bruce and the E Street Band...still amazing and blow away most bands half their age !!!

Thanks for the review EDDMB, I am happy you had a blast. I am at the point where I almost lose interest in the tour, since I am tired of the constant searching through the net whether there was another date announced and whether it was not by any chance Vienna or Berlin and whether the pre-sale won't start in a couple of hours. I have spent hours and hours on that during the last weeks. For nothing. But then I read a review like that and it comes back to me what a feeling it is to be at a Bruce show and I know I MUST go.

Sounds like fun.

And of course, people on BTX are whining about the setlist...

Ranter by name, ranter by nature.

Hoping to see a UK date (or two). I passed up seeing him at the Stadium of Light a few years ago because it was far too expensive to get there at short notice.
