Much of Springsteen's 23-song set, though, was about what happens when reality overtakes dreams. He sounded a note of walled-off desperation on "The River," and tried to make sense of crumbling love on "Loose Ends." He reprised the chilling, bone-weary political allegory "Magic," with Soozie Tyrell adding mournful violin and harmony vocals, and murmured about a power both seductive and dark on "Devil's Arcade."

Springsteen and his longtime band were simply great, performing a well-considered set with heightened intensity and a very clear sense of purpose... Springsteen remains one of the most potent live performers in popular music -- largely because he's among the most committed practitioners of the form, draining all of his creative energy every time he's onstage."

Press Soundbites

More than anyone else writing songs right now, Springsteen has found a way to deliver a message about the state we're in, while still making it rousing and fun and cathartic.
The Boss delivered no less than eight songs from "Magic," his latest recording and his best since, well, maybe "Nebraska" 25 years ago. If you knew the songs going in -- or even if you didn't -- the words about war and sacrifice and deception and faith rang out strong and powerful.
