Bruce Springsteen: The River Tour (2016)

He has still got it! At 66, The Boss is still performing. He played for almost 3 and a half hours straight. Isn't that extraordinary? The whole E Street Band is aging but they keep up with him too. Clarence Clemons's nephew Jake has taken over the rock saxophone part and thankfully he has a young set of strong lungs.

He opened with an energetic outtake "Meet Me in the City" before going into the River album in its entirety in sequence. During "Hungry Heart," one of my favorites, he surfs through the crowd (again, he's 66!). And the crowd got to sing the first verse as always. After he played through the album, he did another seven songs and then five more for the encore. He brought up two people to dance with him for "Dancing in the Dark" like Courtney Cox and with a roaring race to the finish he performed the Isley Brothers' "Shout".
