Another spectacular performance in Granada. The audience was a bit quiet for the most part, but that didn’t stop Bruce and the band. “Love of the Common People” stayed on the set list (in the main set) and Bruce debuted an acoustic version of “The Promised Land” (guitar and harmonica, like in Paris ’88 -SOS Racisme concert-) with background vocals from Curtis King, Frank Bruno, Soozie Tyrell and Cindy Mizelle. The song was dedicated “to the people in Andalucia”. “Youngstown”, along with some other rarities, were rehearsed during the afternoon soundcheck. Check full set list for the show and soundcheck at the Concerts page.
A partir de mañana martes, según informa El Diario Montañés, la organización del concierto de Bruce en Santander pondrá a la venta 550 entradas para el concierto, permitiendo un máximo de 2 entradas por persona.
Se podrán adquirir en el Palacio de Festivales de Santander a partir del martes 24 de octubre a las 10 horas. La ampliación del aforo ha sido posible una vez se ha sabido con exactitud la ubicación del escenario dentro del pabellón de deportes.
Sin duda una gran noticia para los fans que no pudieron adquirir entradas para este esperado concierto (en el recinto más pequeño de toda la gira), y una manera de evitar tener que comprar entradas en la reventa a precios abusivos (en sitios de internet se ofrecían entradas a 300 euros).
Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band started their tour of Spain with a soldout show at the Madrid bullring “Las Ventas”. A cold night after days of rain, which stoped that afternoon, right for the show, but left the arena a big muddy. A good show, but not one of those phenomenal performances we’re used to. (See full set list). Bruce was probably still jetlagged as he arrived that same morning from the US. Good versions, completely reworked, of “Atlantic City” and “Bobby Jean” though.
Totally recovered and in great spiritis, Bruce nearly filled the 30,000-seat soccer stadium in Valencia, and delivered a tremendous performance (check set list). From the opening chords of “John Henry” you could tell he was in great shape and full of energy. Yes, it was one of “those” nights. The Seeger Sessions Band was an unstoppable train and we got to hear fantastic versions of “Growin’ Up” and “The River” (both completely re-worked with new music), a stunning “Mrs. McGrath” followed by a very emotional “Poor Man” and, a bit later, a fantastic “Long Time Coming” with the horns in full force. The horn members did the vocal “stacatto” intro to “Open All Night” (also in Madrid) and Lisa Lowell got to sing (beautifully) a full verse of “When The Saints Go Marching In”.
The surprise of the night was the tour premiere of “Love of the Common People“, a song writtten in 1967 by John Hurley & Ronnie Wilkins, which has been recorded by a wide variety of artists, including Elton John, Waylong Jennings, Wanda Jackson, John Denver, Pat Boone and Paul Young. (we were told this song was one of the unidentified songs from the September rehearsals in Asbury Park).
In fact, it’s hard to describe the show by picking a few songs, because there was not even one single weak performance. Every song was beautifully done, and the atmosphere in the audience was of pure joy. This was not the typical screaming spanish audience, but instead a very enthusiastic but polite audience, singing when needed and clapping and expressing full satisfaction between songs, but never interrupting Bruce, who never had the need to sush them. It was his first time in Valencia, and it was clear that for a big part of the audience this was their first Springsteen show ever. He won them all.
After the debut of “Love of the Common People” the band started playing “You Can Look” (as setlisted). Bruce quickly stopped them and called for “My City of Ruins” (not setlisted). That was the one extra song that was not in the original setlist. The rest went on as planned. After that, they finally got into “You Can Look” which again featured some more changes at the end (different from the Madrid version). It sounded very good and Bruce seemed very happy with those changes, as he happily pointed out to the band at the end of the song.
The long afternoon soundcheck featured also “Youngstown”, yet to be premiered.
En el concierto de esta noche en Granada Bruce ha estrenado de nuevo (en esta gira) una canción. En este caso se trata de “The Promised Land”, de su álbum de 1978 Darkness on the Edge of Town.
La versión ha sido acústica, dedicada a Andalucía, y con la sola compañía de su guitarra y armónica, y los coros de Soozie Tyrell y Frank Bruno.
Hoy han sonado en la plaza de toros algunos temas distintos respecto a sus conciertos anteriores en esta gira por España, entre ellos “Adam Raised a Cain” y “Further On (Up The Road)”. Ha vuelto a tocar las nuevas versiones de “The River” y “Bobby Jean” así como “Love of the Common People”, estrenada en Valencia el sábado.
Por la tarde, durante las pruebas de sonido, se han podido escuchar versiones de “Shenandoah”, “All The Way Home” y “All I’m Thinkin’ About”, entre otras.
Según informa Alfonso desde la misma plaza, la intensidad del concierto ha sido similar a la de Valencia, con un público entregado y muy buen ambiente.
