Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band Wrap First U.S. Run In Seven Years With 27-Song, Three-Hour New Jersey Homecoming

North American Dates Continue August 9 Through December 10; European Shows Kick Off April 28 In Barcelona

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band capped the opening leg of their 2023 international tour tonight; a cross-country 28-show run which marked their first North American dates together since 2016. Kicking off February 1 in Tampa, Florida and concluding tonight in Newark, New Jersey - the high-energy performances featured Springsteen and The E Street Band backed nightly by The E Street Horns and The E Street Choir. Tour setlists have ranged from house-rocking staples like "Dancing In The Dark," "Badlands" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" to live debuts for "Ghosts," "Nightshift," and "Last Man Standing." Interspersed throughout were special additions for each show - including the first performance of "If I Was The Priest" since 1972, covers of The Standells' "Dirty Water" and Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," and the long-awaited return of "Jungleland," "Jersey Girl," and "Born in the U.S.A."
