A solid setlist, a loose performance, and some surprising placements made for a great night in Vancouver on the Wrecking Ball Tour.

No one could have known that this was Clarence’s final show. But it almost seems like Bruce did, because it’s hard to imagine a more fitting tribute to their friendship.
Oakland ’07 was a solid early-tour outing with a fantastic main set (if a lackluster encore)–and it was my last show with Danny Federici.
Bookended by a wild card opener and closer, punctuated by a full Born to Run album performance and the debut of Philly Elvis, my last show at the Spectrum was a memorable one.
My all-time favorite show–under a full moon, in an ancient arena, Bruce breathed new life into a collection of American folk songs and shared them with a raucous but respectful Italian crowd.
I was lucky to be in the front row for Springsteen on Broadway on opening night. Here’s how it all went down.
The Dixie Chicks make a surprise appearance in Detroit, joining Bruce, REM, and company on the Vote for Change stage.
It may not have accomplished much in the short term, but Bruce and company put on a galvanizing show in Cleveland that helped reclaimed patriotism for the American left.
Bruce makes an unusual appearance at the Invictus Games closing ceremony, playing a short acoustic set and joining Bryan Adams for two rockers.
My first and surprise Bruce appearance was a tremendous show featuring Peter Wolf, Jackson Browne, and Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul.
