crowd in the palm of his hand. Not a second of the set was wasted: by the time he left we all wanted more.
It was impossible not to grin almost all the way through. It’s hard to say what was better: the songs,or simply the absolutely impeccable vibe of an audience who were all completely thrilled to be there with him. The band rattled through songs with barely a breath between them, Springsteen himself giving every syllable his all.
He played most of the set from centre stage but frequently wandered down to the front row to clasp hands with audience members and gift harmonicas and plectrums to a lucky few: his smile was so wide when he spent time with the crowd, often turning to face his band, that you got the impression that Bruce Springsteen would love to attend a Bruce Springsteen show.He very obviously adores playing with The E Street Band, who were dressed like a bunch of dads going out for a meal on holiday.
It was heartwarming to see two men express their friendship so affectionately and openly, and that same energy carried out into the crowd, where men reached out to their hero like teenage girls. At one point, someone stuck a red trilby on his head and he gamely wore it, cocked cheekily, and incorporated it into “Darlington County” before popping it back on someone’s head.
Springsteen doesn’t offer his audience much chat and the only time he spent talking directly to us was during the introduction to “Last Man Standing”, as he told the story of his first ever band and the fact that he is now the only surviving member. Though I know he has told this story many times over on this tour, it felt new and real, his emotions as sharp and cutting as the day he wrote the song.
