The first show in London has been the longest show of the tour so far, with 28 songs and 2 hours and 47 minutes.
“Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” has been the opening show tonight, in a show that surprisingly hasn’t included the stunning “She’s the One” (Bruce has played “Working on the highway” instead, during which he has been picking up all kinds of request signs from the fans in the pit).
“Prove it all Night”, possibly for the first time ever, hasn’t featured the usual guitar solo. Instead, “Because the Night”, has indeed included a long and delirious guitar solo from Nils Lofgren. “Cadillac Ranch” has been one of the songs performed thanks to one of those signs Bruce picked up. The
same goes for the beautiful rendition of “Point Blank” (“it’s request time!”, he said).
Songs like “Mary’s Place”, “Thunder Road”, “Gory Days” or “Badlands” have received the most enthusiastic response from the London audience.

El primero de dos conciertos en Londres ha sido el más largo de la gira hasta hora, con dos horas y cuarenta y siete minutos de duración y 28 canciones.
“Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” ha sido la primera canción de un concierto con grandes momentos, aunque algo irregular. Por primera vez en la gira no toca “She’s the One” (sustituida por “Working on the highway”, durante la cual Bruce se pasea por las primeras filas recogiendo todo tipo de carteles con peticiones de canciones). Sorprendentemente, “Prove it all Night”, seguramente por primera vez en su historia, no ha tenido solo de guitarra al final. “Because the Night”, en cambio, ha incluido el delirante solo de Nils Lofgren. “Cadillac Ranch” ha sonado gracias a uno de los carteles recogidos por Bruce, quien lo ha mostrado a las cámaras. Lo mismo ocurría
minutos más tarde con “Point Blank”, en una magnífica y emotiva versión.
Canciones como “Mary’s Place”, “Thunder Road”, “Gory Days” o “Badlands” han contado con una acogida entusiasta entre el público, mayoritariamente entregada a la ingesta masiva de alcohol, provocando diversos desmayos y peleas.

Bruce Springsteen delivered tonight another great show in Manchester, perfectly combining songs from most of his albums, from the early ones like Greetings from Asbury Park (“Saint in the City”, “Growin’ Up”) and The Wild, The Innocent… (“Rosalita”), to his most famous albums Born to Run (“Night”, “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out”, “Born to run”) or Born in the U.S.A. (“No Surrender”, “Dancing in the Dark”, “Darlington County”), alongside the new stuff off Magic (including today the rarely performed “I’ll Work For Your Love”) and some raritites (“Trapped”).
A very long 6-song encore lasted well over half an hour. In tota, nine different songs from the previous show.

(“No Surrender”, “Dancing in the Dark”, “Darlington County”), junto al material del nuevo disco (incluyendo hoy “I’ll Work For Your Love”) y alguna rareza como “Trapped”.
Los bises de nuevo han sido más largos de lo habitual, llegando hasta 6 canciones durante más de media hora. En total, nueve cambios respecto al concierto anterior. Este fin de semana Springsteen y la E Street Band llegan a Londres para dar dos conciertos en el Emirates Stadium.

You are probably very familiar with the photo on the right, as it was used in the cover one of Bruce Springsteen’s best albums: The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle. The author, photographer David Gahr, passed away on Monday. He was 85. Gahr took also the famous picture of The E Street Band that appears on the backcover of the album, taken in 1973.
Gahr was a prestigious photographer, who shot and worked with all the big names in music, from John Lennon to Janis Joplin, including Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Charles Mingus or Miles Davis, and his work was featured in many album and magazine covers.
La foto de la derecha seguramente os resultará familiar: es la foto usada para la portada de unos de los mejores discos de la carrera de Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle. El autor de la misma, David Gahr, falleció el lunes 26 de mayo a los 85 años. Gahr tomó también la fotografía que aparece en la contraportada del disco, con la E Street Band (de 1973) al completo.
Reconocido fotógrafo, por delante de su cámara pasaron los mayores mitos de la música (desde John Lennon a Janis Joplin, pasando por Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Charles Mingus o Miles Davis) y sus fotos se usaron en innumerables portadas de discos y revistas.
