Boston
Boston has a history of being a loyal Bruce town since the early days, so it is not strange that the show last night got a few tour premieres from ‘deep in the vaults’. First of all, both «Badlands» and «Lonesome Day» were back in the set, and the encores featured Bruce’s friend and J.Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf for «Raise Your hand». The reward for the old-time fans came via three tour premieres: «Thundercrack», «Jackson Cage» and «She’s The One».

Boston
Primer concierto en una de las ciudades históricamente más fieles e importantes en la carrera de Bruce Springsteen: Boston. Y no defraudó. Para este concierto recuperó «Badlands» y «Lonesome Day», y contó con la presencia de su amigo Peter Wolf (J.Geils Band) en uno de los bises: «Raise Your hand», estreno en la gira. El guiño a los fans veteranos llegó de la mano de los otros 3 estrenos: nada menos que «Thundercrack», «Jackson Cage» y «She’s The One».

Tampa
Friday’s show in Tampa proved Springsteen’s confidence in his new album, keeping almost intact the backbone of the show, based on the songs from Wrecking Ball (8 of them were played). Simultaneously, Bruce continues to surprise adding new repertoire to the show while keeping a few classics. Seven songs premiered in Tampa: «Prove it All Night» replaced «Badlands» (a song that seemed untouchable), «Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?» and «Talk to Me» did the same with «The E Street Shuffle» (resting momentarily?). The inclusion of «Talk to Me» proves Steve Van Zandt’s theory that the songs from The Promise would appear on this tour.
«American Skin (41 Shots)», appropriately came back, in light of the recent death of young Trayvon Martin a month before, a fact that has caused much controversy in the U.S. (read more about it). «Atlantic City», «Radio Nowhere» and «Glory Days» completed the ‘tour premieres’ chapter. Michelle Moore was onstage again for «Rocky Ground».
