Greetings from Dublin
Finally, another one of those nights! Nothing can go wrong when Bruce and the E Street Band are in full force, delivering the goods. And there were quite an amount of great goodies tonight: «Spirit in the Night», «Sandy», «Rosalita», «The Ties That Bind», «Atlantic City», «Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out», «Growin’ Up», «Racing in the Street». Want more? When the show was over after «American Land», the band came onstage again to deliver yet two more: «Ramrod» and «Glory Days». 2 hours and 40 minutes, 26 songs.
See complete set list.

‘Magic’ tour returns to Europe
The 2008 European Tour has begun tonight with a show in Dublin. «The Promised Land» has been the opening song of a «greatest hits»-oriented show, Bruce going on the safe side playing all the hits that please so many fans, such as «Mary’s Place», «Waitin’ On a Sunny Day», «The River», «Thunder Road» or «Bobby Jean», while most of the stunning material he was doing at the U.S. shows has been left aside (and if you wonder: we mean «Kitty’s Back», «Racing in the Street», «Jungleland», «Streets of Fire», «Rosalita» or some of his finest brand new songs like «Your Own Worst Enemy»). Here’s hoping this was the «first night» syndrome.

Two videos
First, a real gem: a previously uncirculated film recorded in Houston on Sept. 13th, 1975, during the Born to Run tour. Filmed by a fan in the front row with an 8mm camera. The sound has been added later and comes from a well known soundboard recording of the same show. This is vintage Springsteen, full of energy.

The second is a very recent video. Not great quality, as it was shot with a cell phone, but a unique document nonetheless as it was shot at the recent Ranney School benefit concert. An exclusive event which only parents and teachers of the Ranney School could attend. It’s the first glimpse of one of those private concerts for the school. Filmed at The Stone Pony, in Asbury Park, New Jersey, May 17th 2008.
