Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Stade de France, Paris June 29 2013

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Stade de France, Paris June 29 2013

Once again Bruce Springsteen proved that he's The Boss: it started very early, as the Stade de France is half empty, with a 3 song solo acoustic set around 6:00pm.

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".

Bruce Springsteen Part 2 @ Paris Bercy 2, July 05 2012

Part 1 is HERE with full setlist more Pics & video.

Once again The Boss proved that he 's the Boss with a 3h40 min show , 15 different songs compare to yesterday's gig.
Once again a great atmosphere in the audience with everyone standing up and dancing from the first to the last song.
Sold-out with probably 18 000 people as the stalls behind the stage were full up, usually it's never open.

Once again ROCKERPARIS and our photographer, Patrice Guino are bringing you the best pictures and video available from both gigs with full setlist (in Part 1).

At age 63 Bruce Springsteen is rocking like he's 25 years old.
One of the highlight of the year 2012 for us @ Rockerparis and YOu know that we're attending around 200 gigs a year.

We were also lucky to get Patti for the Parisian concerts, probably a first on the European Tour.
We also had a few "premieres" on this tour (check setlist for full details).
