Thousands of fans, many of them from all over the world, experienced last weekend two historic shows. On the last leg of the tour 2009 (let’s stop calling it «Working on a dream», for it has ceased to be for practical purposes), Springsteen has decided to theme concerts, mainly devoted every evening to play a full classic album.
To date, Born to Run is the album chosen to be played at most shows, with occasional performances of Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born in the USA. The surprise was the announcement that in New York Springsteen would play The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle, the first night, and The River the second. Two masterpieces that motivated the thousands of fans to move heaven and earth for a ticket. And it paid off.
Point Blank was there and enjoyed two memorable concerts (although it may sound topic) with a delivery of quality, excitement and energy that exceeds that of any of the best concerts we have seen since 1981. It was simply overwhelming. In attitude, strength, performance and emotion. In all aspects.
