The second North Carolina show featured an impressive opening with two tour debuts, the killer “Roulette” followed by “Don’t Look Back”. This was a high energy rock concert, with unstoppable electric tracks such as “Radio Nowhere”, “Out in the Street”, “The Promised Land”, “Trapped”, “Saint in the City”, “Because the Night”, “Darkness” and “She’s The One”.

Just a little rest to catch their breath with “Livin’ in the Future”, followed by another tour debut: “Mary’s Place”, this time considerably shorter than on The Rising tour. “Saint in the City” was dedicated to Danny, and was introduced by Bruce with these words about Danny: “He had nine lives, and he used up about five of mine” and then a funny story about Bruce finding Danny in the hotel elevator with a screwdriver: “A towel’s not good enough for him, he’s gotta take the elevator buttons!”.

Concierto en Greensboro
29 abril, 2008
En el segundo concierto en Carolina del Norte, Springsteen arranca el concierto a todo trapo con dos estrenos trepidantes y eléctricos, nada menos que “Roulette” seguida de “Don’t Look Back”. Si la noche anterior Bruce & Co. parecían algo cansados, en Greensboro el derroche de energía fue descomunal de principio a final, con trallazos de rock imparables uno tras de otro: “Radio Nowhere”, “Out in the Street”, “The Promised Land”, “Trapped”, “Saint in the City”, “Because the Night”, “Darkness”, “She’s The One”.

Sin tregua, sin apenas respiro hasta “Livin’ in the Future”, seguida por otro estreno: “Mary’s Place”, en esta ocasión sin los innecesarios minutos redundantes de la gira The Rising. “Saint in the City” la dedica a Danny, de quien dice “Tenía nueve vidas, e incluso usó cinco de las mías”, para luego contar la anécdota de la ocasión en que se encontró a Danny “en un ascensor, con un destornillador. Una toalla no era suficiente para él, tenía que llevarse los botones del ascensor!”.

Homenaje de Bruce Springsteen a Danny Federici
28 abril, 2008
En la página web oficial de Bruce Springsteen se puede leer ahora el texto completo de elogio a Danny Federici que Springsteen leyó en el funeral celebrado en Red Bank, New Jersey, el pasado lunes 21 de abril. Un texto largo y emotivo, repleto de recuerdos de los cuarenta años de amistad entre ambos.

“So today, making another one of his mysterious exits, we say farewell to Danny, “Phantom” Dan, Federici. Father, husband, my brother, my friend, my mystery, my thorn, my rose, my keyboard player, my miracle man and lifelong member in good standing of the house rockin’, pants droppin’, earth shockin’, hard rockin’, booty shakin’, love makin’, heart breakin’, soul cryin’… and, yes, death defyin’ legendary E Street Band.” (Bruce Springsteen, 21/04/2008)

A continuación, el vídeo que se proyecta al inicio de cada concierto, donde se pueden ver imágenes de toda la carrera de Danny Federici con Springsteen, desde sus inicios.

Springsteen homages Danny Federici
27 abril, 2008
Check out Bruce’s official website to read his eulogy words to Danny, as read at Federici’s funeral in Red Bank on April 21st. It is a very long and moving eulogy, worth reading.

“So today, making another one of his mysterious exits, we say farewell to Danny, “Phantom” Dan, Federici. Father, husband, my brother, my friend, my mystery, my thorn, my rose, my keyboard player, my miracle man and lifelong member in good standing of the house rockin’, pants droppin’, earth shockin’, hard rockin’, booty shakin’, love makin’, heart breakin’, soul cryin’… and, yes, death defyin’ legendary E Street Band.”

Blood Brothers
27 abril, 2008
“This night is a special one, so we’d like to start with something for Danny”. After these words from Bruce, a special video tribute to Danny was shown in the screen behind Max’s drums. The video shows pictures and films of Danny and the band since the late 60′s, with the studio version of “Blood Brothers” as soundtrack (see video below). When the video was over, the show started with a very emotional and powerful version of “Backstreets”, with a spotlight on Danny’s keyboards (Charlie was not onstage for the opening song). The show in Tampa, the first one after Danny’s passing was full of special moments and old tunes, including “Sandy” and “Growin’ Up”. Other highlights included “Because the Night”, “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day” or “Badlands”, along with the usual amount of rarities (“Brilliant Disguise”, “Racing in the Street”, “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” or “Rosalita”).

The first encore was another tribute to Danny Federici. With Max on tambourine, Roy on accordion and Garry on bass, Bruce sang the 1929 gospel “I’ll Fly Away” (“Some bright morning when this life is over, I’ll fly away”). Patti Scialfa is present for this show.

The next show, in Orlando, was full of surprises again. The video tribute to Danny continues to open the show, and is followed in this case by a full band, electric version of “Blood Brothers”. Tour standards “Gypsy Biker” and “Magic” dissapear from a very shaken set list, which includes “Out in the Street”, “Spirit in the night”, “The River”, “Fire, “Lost in the flood” and the tour debut of “Does this bus stop at 82nd Street?”. The encores brought a very special treat, The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn came up to sing “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” after a great introduction by Bruce (“the incredible Roger McGuinn!”) which said “I played that first Byrds album over 200 times in the dark”. Steve was in awe, playing, as Roger did, a beautiful 12-string Rickenbaker.

And last but not least, Friday’s show in Atlanta (where Magic was recorded) started with “Reason the Believe”, featured the tour debut of “Blinded by the Light”, plus a marvelous “Your Own Worst Enemy” (so few times played on the tour, unfortunately), a blistering “Prove it all Night”, “Point Blank” and “Rosalita”.
