And so, faced with a substantial delay (not to mention an audience that was drenched to the bone), Springsteen did the only thing he could do, which was blast past Gillette's noise curfew by 70 minutes Marc Hirsh Boston Globe

Press
But “Spirit in the Night” best epitomized what makes Springsteen so indispensable: crouched atop a house monitor at the stage’s edge, his feet dangling off the side, he sang the song face-to-face with folks up front.

For a moment, he was just one of the crowd. As the song’s lyric states several times, “It felt so right.” And indeed, it did. Christopher Treacy Boston Herald

Even before "Rosalita," the encores were special, with the band investing the dark epic "Jungleland" with all the majesty it requires, and roaring through Springsteen signature tunes like "Born To Run" (with the house lights on) and "Dancing in the Dark." Jay Lusting - The Star Ledger

Press

Throughout the gig, the band proved it is still more than capable of stadium-filling rock'n'roll. From opener "Out in the Streets" to main set closer "Badlands," the E Streeters kept the audience on its feet and singing. Guitarist Nils Lofgren even pulled off a somersault in the middle of his solo on "Because the Night." Rolling Stone Magazine

On top of the World in Barcelona with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band

The European tour has ended in the world famous Nou Camp Stadium in the Springsteen stronghold of Barcelona, home of FC Barcelona. Two shows to a combined audience of around 150,000 people, have witnessed the end of a truly great tour, with a number of highlights in 2 differing shows in Barcelona.

Night one is a more 'pop' orientated affair, whereas Night two is perhaps targetted more towards the hardcore fanbase. Highlights are in their hundreds, but for the writer of this blog, the command of such a vast arena, without breaking into vocal on Night 2' opener 10th Avenue Freeze Out will live long.

Whilst the majority were locals, many, many European Springsteen fans as well as Americans descended on Barcelona for a party weekend, that most will surely savour for a lifetime.

Over the course of 2 tremendous nights, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, put Barcelona on top of the World, he isnt the King of Spain, but for those nights he might as well have been.
