July 14: Glasgow
Springsteen’s return to Hampden Park in Glasgow brought a 3-hour-plus show with some surprises. Nils opened the show with his accordion, playing The Flower of Scotland while the band was coming onstage.
A big sign convinced Bruce to perform one of his old jewels: «Incident on 57th Street», followed by the tour debut of «Pink Cadillac». The rockabilly tune had last been played at Shea Stadium in 2003.
Sam and Evan Springsteen came onstage to help his father during «American Land».

The second show in Irish soil featured a hi-energy performance from Springsteen and the E Street Band, full of strong rock songs such as «Prove it all Night», «Spirit in the Night», «Proud Mary», «Rosalita» or «Jungleland», plus a fun «Sherry Darling».
Before those, the show started with a rock threesome: opening with «No Surrender», followed by «Badlands» and «Night».
After an intense «Radio Nowhere», «American Skin (41 Shots)» made its tour debut. Six long encores put end to a show that surpassed the 3-hour mark and included 30 songs.

July 11: Dublin
Rainy night in Dublin, and Springsteen has opened the show with the classic «Who’ll Stop the Rain?», followed by «Badlands» and «Cover Me».
Sign requests have resulted in the tour premiere of «You Can Look», along with «Seven Nights to Rock», «For You», «Thunder Road» and «Because the Night». The long 7-song encore finished with «Ramrod» and «Twist and Shout», making of this show one of the longest of the tour, with 30 songs performed. Jake Clemons, CC’s nephew, joined the band on «Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out» to play some sax, while Evan James Springsteen did play guitar during «American Land».
The Hyde Park performance of «London Calling» has been posted today in the official website, and it’s the full song!
