The current Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Australian tour has gone up a notch on previous tours, and with three in the last five years that is saying something.
You appreciate what a great band the E Street Band is when you see them live. Yes, their songs may be played on classic hits station between 70s and 80s fodder but the true fan knows the depth of the legacy. Every album was a work of art and every track tells a story.
No two shows on this Australian tour have been the same. Bruce Springsteen gives a unique moment to every audience he plays too.
Fans at the second Sydney show were treated to the rare ‘Rendezvous’ and ‘Be True’ and an Australia tour premiere of ‘Adam Raised A Cain’. The old ‘Detroit Medley’ was there and for the first time on this tour ‘Adam Raised A Cain’.
