It was a great night for those attending the first show of 2008, as Springsteen debuted three new songs, including the opening tune: «So Young and in Love», a 1974 song off the Tracks box set. Plus, it was a great performance, as if the tour hadn’t had a 2-month break.
Next was the debut of «Loose Ends» (in the «Reason to Believe» /»She’s the One» sandwitch) and «Janey Don’t You Lose Heart» (with Nils shining on vocals and singing the second verse).
Come the encores «Dancing in the Dark» dissapears, but Bruce balanced it with a tremendous «Backstreets» followed by «Kitty’s Back», and then «Born to run».
Patti Scialfa is still absent, and so is Danny Federici, though Bruce mentioned that Danny «is doing all right. Hopefully he’ll make it out for a few shows on this leg of the tour».
