Throughout three nights at MetLife Stadium, Springsteen broke from his standard set and delighted the faithful with “Jungleland,” “Jersey Girl,” and other favorites
and the E Street Band in New Jersey. That’s why fans from all over the globe descended on East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium on Aug. 30, Sept. 1, and Sept. 3. Anticipation ran high because seven years ago they delivered some of the most memorable nights in history of the band at the same venue, culminating with a four-hour extravaganza that spotlighted Springsteen’s first three albums.
At that point in time, Springsteen was still grabbing signs from the audience and playing “Stump The Band.” The set varied wildly from night to night. He’s taken a very different approach with this tour. Most likely drawing from his Broadway experience, he’s using his songs to tell a thematic story about friendship, loss, grief, and how “age brings perspective and the fine clarity one gets at midnight on the tracks, looking into the white lights of an oncoming train.
To accomplish this, he’s carefully crafted a set and varied it little throughout the tour. And while he largely stuck to the basic structure throughout the MetLife run — including powerful moments like “Last Man Standing” into “Backstreets” that are the heart of the show — he also cracked it up at times to make room for big surprises.
