Bruce Springsteen Raises The Bar With An Incredible Second Show In Paris


Stan Goldstein The Star-Ledger

“This was insane!” a friend texted me after Bruce Springsteen’s 31-song, three-hour-and-37-minute show in Paris on Thursday. “In my opinion, tonight’s show was epic, stunning, mega-stunning, one for the ages right up there with with whatever you feel is a modern day legendary show,” another friend wrote.

“A short poll of those in Paris (who by the way see way more shows than I ever could) all agree, PARIS #2 was hands down the best show so far in Europe, and of the whole tour.”

Yes, the second of two shows at the Palais Omnisports Bercy arena in Paris is going to go down in the legendary category.

So what made this show so special?

. Take a look at the set list. Six songs played before the first song from the “Wrecking Ball” album. Look how much Bruce changed from the printed set list distributed before the show.

There were 15 songs played that weren’t played on Wednesday (that’s a lot even for Bruce, who is known to always change up his set list on back to back nights).

How ’bout “Incident on 57th Street” and “Racing in the Street” being played at the same show. One internet post said that has happened only four other times (in 1978!) at an E Street Band show.

One tour premiere, “For You” was played solo on the piano by Bruce. Looks like he make go back to doing a solo piano spot. This was the second straight show he did it (he played “Independence Day” Wednesday). The solo piano song was a regular feature on The Rising Tour in 2002-03.

Bruce danced with his daughter Jessica during “Dancing In the Dark.” His mother and mother-in-law were also at the show as well as his sister Pam.

Bruce crowd surfed during the Apollo Medley, the first time he had done that in Europe.
