Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Stade de France, Paris June 29 2013
Last year BRUCE played two shows @ Paris Bercy on July 04th (Part 2) and July 5th (Part 2) [click for review with lots of Pics & videos] that were the highlights of the year.
Very long intermission with nothing to do, we're in the golden pit, until 7:45 when Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are getting on the stage to play the first song "Badlands" of this 3hour+ show.
What to say ? Tight band, whatever the song played, we had a request " Lucille" first played on this Tour. Great showmanship by Bruce. Fantastic songs...all is said.
He might be playing a stadium it feels as if we were attending a show in a club thanks to great communication not only with the band but also with the audience. Lots of interaction, he's coming down the front very often, shaking hands, even signing a kid's arm and as always at his shows getting several people on stage to dance , sing or play the guitar.(see video below).
At everyshow on this tour he's playing an album in its entirety: tonight we have "Born in The Usa", great choice.
For "Born to Run" Elliott Murphy (and son) are joining in.
Show ended with "American Land" before Bruce came back on his own on acoustic guitar for "Thunder Road".
