For the second time on the tour, Springsteen kicked off yesterday’s concert in Washington with the epic 1978 version of «Prove it All Night», which was followed by the powerful duo «My Love Will Not Let You Down»/ «The Ties That Bind». It was a long show, with 30 songs during three hours and thirty minutes. Highlights included the band version tour debut of «Blinded By The Light» (previously performed in Helsinki in acoustic format), along with an intense «Jackson Cage» which lead straight into «She’s the One» and «Johnny 99». Later came the always majestic «Racing in the Street», and during the encores «Detroit Medley» after «Born to Run», plus «American Land» and «Twist and Shout» to close.
The stadium summer tour will end next week with three concerts at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey
Por segunda vez en la gira, Springsteen arrancó ayer su concierto en Washington con la épica versión de 1978 de «Prove it All Night», a la que siguieron el rock encendido de «My Love Will Not Let You Down» y «The Ties That Bind». Fue un concierto largo, con 30 canciones durante tres horas y media, destacando la primera versión en esta gira (con banda) de «Blinded By The Light» (interpretada previamente en Helsinki en formato acústico), además de una potente «Jackson Cage» enlazada con «She’s the One» y «Johnny 99». Más adelante llegó la mayestática «Racing in the Street», siempre un privilegio y un placer auditivo. En la recta final recuperó el «Detroit Medley» tras «Born to Run», y finalizo con «American Land» y «Twist and Shout».
La gira de verano de estadios acabará esta próxima semana con 3 conciertos en el MetLife Stadium de East Rutherford, Nueva Jersey, a los cuales asistiremos en grupo (si quieres recibir más información de los viajes que solemos organizar para ver conciertos de Springsteen, suscríbete ahora a nuestro boletín, a través de la casilla amarilla de la izquierda.

The two ‘back to back’ concerts at Wrigley Field in Chicago were immense, with a full and varied setlist, mixing old & new songs, rarities & popular hits. The first night started in an amazing and spectacular way, with the 1978 version of «Prove it All Night», more intense than at other recent performances, and for the first time this year with the full original melody. It was followed by a rockin’ «My Love Will Not Let You Down» and then «Out in the Street». One of the highlights was the tour debut of the fantastic «None But The Brave» (with Eddie Manion on saxophone), a very little-known song published only on The Essential Bruce Springsteen 2-CD set. Springsteen wrote the song in 1983, for Born in the USA, but it was, unfortunately, left off that record.
For both concerts Bruce invited on stage his friends, and native Chicagoans, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam). The first night Tom showed his talent on guitar on «Death to My Hometown», «Jack of All Trades», «The Ghost of Tom Joad», «Badlands» and «Land of Hope and Dreams» while Eddie sang a duet with Bruce in «Atlantic City». The second night Morello played for the very unusual «This Depression» and Vedder was superb in «My Hometown» and especially «Darkness on the Edge of Town».
Highlights from the first night included «Trapped», «I’m Goin ‘Down» and «Jungleland», plus Tom and Eddie’s participation on «Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out» and «Twist and Shout». Both also also guested in the encores of the second night, a show that featured 14 different songs, including «The Promised Land» (show opener), «The Ties That Bind», «No Surrender», «The E Street Shuffle», «Pay Me My Money Down», «Because the Night», «American Land», «Rocky Ground», «Rosalita» and an acoustic version of «Who’ll Stop the Rain?» when the rain showed during the show.
