Live Nation has announced the June 23rd concert in Brussels has been moved to the Sportpaleis in Antwerp (40km from Brussels). It seems only 15,000 tickets for the stadium had been sold therefore it has been moved to be more intimate, smaller arena in Antwerp.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play Gilette Stadium on August 2nd. Tickets go on sale this Saturday thru Ticketmaster (now priced at $97.50 plus TM charges!)
If some fans were dissapointed with the lenght and intensity of the Cincinnati show (something we completely disagree on) the Columbus show probably pleased them again, as it was another spectacular night, with 3 tour premieres («Something in the Night», «Sherry Darling» and, at last, «You’ll Be Coming Down»), «The Ties That Bind» opening, plus «Rosalita» and «Glory Days» in the encores. For «Born to Run» Springsteen had special guest Ed Manion on sax. For the first time on the tour, «Magic» is not performed.
The handwritten set list included «Two Hearts», «Jackson Cage» and «Racing in the Street».

PB reporting from the road
Danny is back! The crowd erupted when Bruce mentioned «we got a special treat tonight, Danny Federici is with us». And what a treat it was, and what a show. With 8 changes over the previous show in Milwaukee (still a colossal show to remember), Indy got a lot of rarities and emotional performances. Both «Prove it all Night» (blistering guitar solo at the end) and «Rendezvous» (tour debut) were audience requests, with Bruce taking the signs from the front rows and showing them to the cameras.
By the time «Livin’ in the Future» ended Danny joined the band for «The Promised Land» and then (with Bruce saying «He’s gonna make me go old school on you!») «Spirit in the Night» and «Sandy» (with Danny on accordion). The show went on with Charlie again, and by encore time Danny joined the band again for all of the remaining of the show. «We’re all gonna dedicate this to Dan» were Bruce’s words before a stunning «Backstreets» set the tone for an emotional set of songs. And then a truly phenomenal, exhilarating version of «Kitty’s Back» followed, then a triumphal and epic «Born to Run» followed by a fun «Dancing in the Dark» (with Hannah, a little girl, dancing with Bruce onstage… twice!) and «American Land», again with Danny on accordion and Charlie at the organ. After two of the best shows in years, what else must be left for Cincinnati? We’ll soon find out.
