I've somehow never seen him and he's now #1 on my bucket list to see so I'm pretty pumped for this tour, though I wish the shows didn't cost a million dollars

[nanatod]

only springsteen songs I'd ever want to hear again, live or otherwise, are the ones from fire on the fingertips, and maybe mary queen of arkansas.

[chvrchbarrel]

no Outlaw Pete, no chvrchbarrel

[llamaoftime]

Bought my tickets today to see Bruce next month finally I'm pumped

Make a sign for it. 

[chvrchbarrel]

only allowing 'outlaw pete' signs into t mobile center, leave your 'lost in the flood' signs at home

My company gave me a bleepin stupid amount of money to go away so thanks to airline and hotel points I'm seeing Bruce in Tulsa. I am looking forward to eating an onion burger and possibly bringing a sign in for "Downbound Train"

[chvrchbarrel]

i heard only 'outlaw pete' signs are allowed

[Tweet]

He can play both songs it's not an all or nothing proposition

[nanatod]

in Tulsa, he needs to cover Tulsa Telephone Book, but not Tulsa Time.

[llamaoftime]

Made a playlist with those rehearsed songs including some additions from today and yesterday. Will continue to update it as he does new ones

[krentist]

I'm selling my ticket if he doesn't play Cadillac Ranch

This is a perfect song

[chvrchbarrel]

apparently they rehearsed a bunch of covers yesterday and one of them is reported as being "Like a Stone" - ive got to imagine this is "Like a Rolling Stone" which he's covered before, but the thought of Bruce covering Audioslave is certainly interesting

Do you have a list of what covers he did? Can't find it anywhere

[chvrchbarrel]

yeah its not on there yet though, here's the list i saw verbatim - no artist names associated, hence the audioslave confusion. can't imagine that's not like a rolling stone though.


Drift Away
Out On The Floor
Ordinary Joe
Like A Stone
7 Day Lover

My dad was at the show last night and he said it was a top five show for him.

[chvrchbarrel]

so fucking cool that he still encores with the house lights on

watching a lot of videos from last night and i gotta say i haven't been this excited for a show in a little while

[claypoolfan]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but Springsteen is a huge musical blind spot for me - is there a reason he doesn't play Born in the USA anymore other than *gestures broadly at the USA*?

he doesn't "not" play it, its just a bit of a rarer hit to get in the setlist when he tours. i think he did stop playing it for awhile for *gestures broadly* but it's been in plenty of setlists over his past few tours

[zircona1]

'Glory Days' is also kind of a live rarity, interested to see how often that one shows up.

[chvrchbarrel]

they must be saving the audioslave cover

also weirdly no outlaw pete

[concertgoer]

I don't really like "Kitty's Back" so I'm hoping that doesn't become a regular for this tour. Though I guess if it does that can be a bathroom break song for me lol.

[Tweet]

Imagine it'd be hard to complain with a setlist like that

[doso]

I’ll be thrilled if he does “E Street Shuffle” and “Kitty’s Back” at the Brooklyn show.
