springsteen milwaukee harleyfest born to be wild

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band said goodbye to the road with a very long 3 and a half hour concert yesterday at Harleyfest in Milwaukee. The show needed 10 encores to end and was the longest set played since the beginning of the Magic Tour. «Gypsy Biker» opened the set, which featured covers of «Wooly Bully» (Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, see video) and «Born to be Wild» (Steppenwolf, see video) .

«Sandy» was dedicated to Danny Federici and his son Jason Federici took the stage to play accordion. Bruce’s farewell words were «We’ll be seein’ ya! We’re just gettin’ started!».
