Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band updated,giuseppe zanotti dames

What a difference a decade makes. The last time Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band came to Auckland,lancel adjani, it certainly wasn't the greatest of nights.

That 2003 Western Springs show,giuseppe zanotti dames, his first appearance in New Zealand,giuseppe zanotti sneakers, got a 20,new era pas cher,000 plus crowd on a drizzly evening. Much of the night was devoted to his deep, dark post 9/11 album The Rising which was his first record after a less than productive previous decade.

As well as turning Lorde's song of teenage disaffection into something that sounded dusty and ancient and given those reference to trains and Cadillacs,ralph lauren polo, something oddly Springsteenesque his version offered wry lyrical changes.

"Long ago I was the next big thing,sac lancel pas cher," he sang near the song's end. "Now I'm in love with being king."

Unsurprisingly,casquette new era, this first song on the first of two near sellout 40,new era soldes,000 capacity concerts at Mt Smart went down a treat.

What followed was a wonderful exhausting near religious experience of a show,casquette new era pas cher. One that confirmed Springsteen's status as the reigning long distance champ of live rock'n'roll.

That reputation might explain his increased local drawing power,ralph lauren pas cher, possibly more than the half dozen studio albums he's released since The Rising.

He can be lamenting injustice and blue collar struggle in one song,ralph lauren soldes, then a few minutes later doing his best to turn the E Street rock'n'soul revue into a comedy one too.

Song wise,lancel pas cher, it was a night that offered plenty to the hardcore Springsteen fan and casual follower alike.

Yes,giuseppe zanotti sneakers, he played the mandatory likes of Born to Run. Actually,new era soldes, he played the entirety of his most hit laden mega selling album, 1984's Born in the USA,new era, a track by track performance of which became the 12 song core to his 30 song three plus hours on stage.

Springsteen had been inserting performances of early albums into his Australian dates in past weeks,sac lancel, where he had already toured early in 2013 without heading here.

In Oz,ralph lauren paris, the tracklist to setlist was a smart way of refreshing the show to fans after a short gap.

Here,giuseppe zanotti, after a longer eleven year wait,ralph lauren usa, delivering all of Born in the USA risked bogging things down in a nostalgic wallow and losing the element of surprise for much of the show. It did remind that as hit laden as it was,snapback new era, USA wasn't filler free.

But that set within the set offered some of the night's best quieter moments like an aching I'm on Fire and a Christchurch dedicated My Hometown,ralph lauren pas cher.

That part of evening also offered entertaining outbreaks of fan interactivity,sac lancel pas cher.

One woman was dragged up for a spot of karaoke during Glory Days. While on Dancing in the Dark, a pan generational chorus line of mostly female fans ended up on stage at Springsteen's beckoning which made for a nice variation on the song's original video which featured the girl who was later in Friends.

While on the subject of Born in the USA,ralph lauren pas cher, it must be said the now 64 year old whose denim clad bum featured on its cover 30 years ago looks like he'd still fit those jeans.

Elsewhere,ralph lauren usa, there was still seat of the pants (ho ho) spontaneity.

Then after a robust rousing ,giuseppe zanotti sale, delivered as if it was the last song of the night,giuseppe zanotti sale, Springsteen picked out a fan placard for the "very obscure" Loose Ends,ralph lauren paris, one of his more Orbison esque tunes.

But outside the USA anthems and the older standards,casquette new era, much of the night's highlights came from his most recent offerings 2012's GFC themed and this year's High Hopes.

's title track and the swirling Irish folk rock of Death to My Hometown from the same LP came delivered vitally and forcefully by the E Street Band's enhanced ensemble which came with 18 or so musicians on stage,lancel soldes.

Later,giuseppe zanotti sneakers, Land of Hope and Dreams became a glorious gospel rock runaway locomotive eventually shunting elegantly into Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready.

High Hopes,lancel paris, another cover,snapback new era, was a raucous barnstormer while the night's singularly most stirring moment came via a momentous The Ghost of Tom Joad.
