Springsteen's "magic"

I posted this originally on December 1st, 2007.


Springsteen killed! It was obvious to me he was still suffering from a cold, but his voice was alright. I can't remember when I couldn't stop grinning at a concert. Heh.
After kicking the show off with "Radio nowhere" he segued into "No surrender". I couldn't believe my luck; it used to be my favorite Springsteen track back in high school.
Here's a clip in which you can witness how tight his show was. "No surrender" was followed by "Lonesome day".

The fact that "Tunnel of love" was on the set list as well was another surprise.

He appologized - twice - for the delay (his wife Patti was absent, so I figured she was still suffering from a severe cold, but I didn't mind). Another great moment was that he got informed about "Sinterklaas" and got the entire stadium to sing "Santa Clause is coming to town".


So even though the concert only lasted a little over two hours (instead of the usual three hours, I know I'm spoilt) I went home a happy camper!
