* «Monster Mash», original by Bobby Pickett (1962):
Due to the current weather complications in the tri-state area, the Tuesday, October 30 show at Rochester, NY’s Blue Cross Arena is being postponed to Wednesday, October 31.
Debido a la presencia del huracán «Sandy» en la zona, el concierto de hoy en Rochester se pospone hasta mañana miércoles, 31 de octubre.
De nuevo en la campaña de Obama, Springsteen actuó en formato acústico en Pittsburgh, en un acto celebrado a las 2 de la tarde en el Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall, el mismo teatro donde ha actuado estos dos últimos años con Joe Grushecky. Y de nuevo contó con él, pues tanto Joe como su hijo Johnny cantaron «We Take Care of Our Own» en el acto de campaña. Fue un concierto similar al de los mitines recientes en otras ciudades, con la nueva canción «Forward» y el retorno de «Youngstown».
Por la noche, en el Consol Energy Center, Bruce dio un concierto impresionante, iniciado con un cuarteto de canciones demoledor: «Don’t Look Back», «Candy’s Room», «The Ties That Bind» y una «Streets of Fire» improvisada, antes del «Hungry Heart» de rigor, con salto al público incluido.
Más adelante, tras las canciones fijas del nuevo disco y la siempre excitante «Spirit in the Night», llegó el estreno de «Pretty Flamingo», la canción de Manfred Mann que Bruce solía tocar a mediados de los 70. Y luego otra racha de energía imparable con «Talk to Me», «Adam Raised a Cain», «Because the Night», «She’s the One» y «Working on the Highway», ante un público absolutamente entregado y ruidoso.
Una majestuosa «Racing in the Street» dio paso a los bises, donde Bruce contó de nuevo con la colaboración de Joe Grusheckyy su hijo Johnny en «Glory Days» y la infrecuente «Light of Day».

Once again Springsteen had a double appearance in Pittsburgh last Saturday. First he played at 2pm at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall, where he delivered a 30-min acoustic show for the Obama campaign. Joe and Johnny Grushecky joined Bruce onstage to sing «We Take Care of Our Own». The show was very similar to the previous ones in other cities, including the new song, «Forward», plus «Youngstown».
In the evening, at the Consol Energy Center, Bruce and the boys offered another fabulous performance, which started with a killer quartet: «Don’t Look Back», «Candy’s Room», «The Ties That Bind» and an audible «Streets of Fire», full of energy and great work on the guitar.
After the standard set of new songs off Wrecking Ball (which sounds better and better each day, topped with the emotional «My City of Ruins») and the always exciting «Spirit in the Night», a surprising tour debut came: «Pretty Flamingo», the Manfred Mann’s tune Bruce used to play in the mid 70’s. And then yet another amazing foursome with «Talk to Me», «Adam Raised a Cain», «Because the Night» and «She’s the One», all greatly received by the powerful and noisy Pittsburgh audience
A majestic «Racing in the Street» lead the encores, and Bruce once again invited Joe Grusheckyand his son Johnny, this time to sing on «Glory Days» and the rarely played «Light of Day».
