In his second show in Norway, Bruce delivered an intense 25-song set. Though it may seem short, it was a long set of nearly three hours, which surprisingly started with a hot «Prove it all night» followed by «Badlands» and «My Lucky Day». There were 9 different songs from the first show, including «Spirit in the Night», «Cover me», «Thunder Road» and the tour premieres of «Boom Boom» (the classic John Lee Hooker tune) and «Two Hearts».

Because of the wind and intense cold, there was no interruption after the end of the main set with «Born to run», and the encores started straight away with «Rosalita». Five songs later the night ended with «Twist & Shout», and the band quickly left for the airport, where they had a 1am flight to the U.S.

Next: Saturday at the Bonnaroo Festival, in the state of Tennessee.
