More later, but here’s the setlist for anyone who cares:
Radio Nowhere
Night
Lonesome Day
Gypsy Biker
Magic
Reason to Believe
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Candy’s Room
She’s the One
Livin’ in the Future
This Hard Land
4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
The E Street Shuffle
Working on the Highway
Devil’s Arcade
The Rising
Last to Die
Long Walk Home
Badlands
encore:
Girls in Their Summer Clothes
Tenth Avenue Freezeout
Kitty’s Back
Born to Run
American Land
A transcendent show…easily the best Bruce show ever, and that’s saying a lot and puts it automatically in the running for the best concert ever (I still think my first Who concert with Keith Moon probably beats it, but that’s the only close contender). I cried through much of it, most notably through “The Rising” — triggering, cathartic.
Hearing three songs from “E Street Shuffle” was amazing, as was the “Night/Darkness/Candy’s Room/She’s
the One” sequence. “Kitty’s Back” was the clincher here — I’d never seen it live.
I have more to say, but will process later and get back to you.
Thanks, Skip…for everything.
