The new material sounded vibrant and complex in the live setting, especially "This Life," with its lush, Beach Boys-like warmth, and the harsh, bluesy "Good Eye."

From the start, it was clear that a lot had changed since the last time Springsteen took the band on the road. With a new album out, new members in the band and a new president in office, Springsteen seemed to offer a renewed sense of purpose and optimism onstage
