I Think We Can Officially Say Bruce Springsteen is Back
The post I Think We Can Officially Say Bruce Springsteen is Back appeared first on Consequence.
If you needed any proof that Bruce Springsteen is fully recovered from health ailments that derailed his 2023 tour (some of which may or may not have been the result of Larry David), look no further than the performance he and the E Street Band turned in at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on Thursday night.
The show ran a grand total of three hours and 18 minutes and featured a sprawling 32-song setlist including several tracks that hadn’t been played live in close to a decade. What’s more, Springsteen’s wife, Patti Scialfa, made her first appearance on the 2024 leg of the tour, joining her husband for performances of “Tougher Than the Rest” and “Fire.”

The setlist also included several notable covers, including John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom,” which opened the show; Jimmy Cliff’s “Trapped”; the traditional Cajun waltz “Jole Bloon”; and the Top Notes’ “Twist and Shout.”
Of Springsteen’s own material, other notable songs played included “Prove It All Night,” “The Promised Land,” “Hungry Heart,” “Backstreets,” “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” and “Bobby Jean.”
Springsteen and the E Street Band are only just getting started, as they have a number of tour dates scheduled in the US, the UK, and Europe through much of 2024. Tickets can be purchased here.
