BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E STREET BAND TO PERFORM FULL ALBUM SEQUENCES DURING GIANTS STADIUM RUN

‘BORN TO RUN,’ ‘DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN,’ ‘BORN IN THE USA’ EACH TO BE PERFORMED IN THEIR ENTIRETY

In response to the overwhelming fan enthusiasm at Chicago’s Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band live performance of the album ‘Born to Run,’ Springsteen has decided to perform one classic album each night at Giants Stadium:

Sep 30 E. Rutherford, NJ Giants Stadium ‘Born To Run’
Oct 2 E. Rutherford, NJ Giants Stadium
‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’
Oct 3 E. Rutherford, NJ Giants Stadium ‘Born In The USA’
Oct 8 E. Rutherford, NJ Giants Stadium ‘Born To Run’
Oct 9 E. Rutherford, NJ Giants Stadium ‘Born In The USA’

In Chicago, Bruce began with a varied set list, performed the album portion of the show in the middle of the concert, and continued the show through its grand finale. Said long time manager Jon Landau, “Chicago convinced us that this was really worth doing. The audience was so supportive of the concept that it convinced us to go ahead with this at Giants Stadium.”

Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot called that city’s performance “epic,” continuing, “they delivered and then some.”
