No the gigs lasting anywhere between three and four hours started in 1978 when he was still doing theatres. Prior to that you were still likely to get 2 and half hours from 1975 onwards. However those shows from 1978 - 1988 did include a half hour break (not included in the timings obviously) from the e street reunion in 1999 to present there has been no break just a straight run lasting from at least 2 and a half hours to anywhere around three and a half. In addition the set lists have been made up of almost anything from his back catalogue plus cover versions with the eventual song count for a tour coming in at around 150 different songs.

The 4-hour thing is a myth. He only did it once. Nassau Coliseum in 1980. New Years Eve.
