Glory Days in Gothenburg

















Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band 'came home' to Gothenburg, and gave 2 outstanding performances to a total crowd in excess of 100,000 people at the ageing Ullevi Stadium, scene of previous triumphs in 1985, and 2003. Almost 6 hours of songs are played over 2 outstanding nights, including a rare but expected 'Born In The USA' opening July 4th proceedings, and followed thematically by Independance Day later in the set, as well as the classic Ballad 'Sandy' (4th of July Asbury Park). The second night is even better including an emotional performance of 'Drive All Night'. Crowds at both shows are probably the best of the tour so far, as a whole city welcomed Bruce and Band. Truly memorable performances, one's that will live for a very, very long time
