Bruce Springsteen performed at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Aug. 26 and 26.
Aug. 26 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in their last show before the three coming up this week at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band played two songs for the first time on their current tour. “Lonesome Day” was the show-opener, and their cover of the 1956 Moon Mullican hit “Seven Nights to Rock” (with a rare drum solo by Max Weinberg) was one of the encores.
You can watch videos of the two performances, below.
The show also included the tour’s second performance of “Atlantic City.” I have included a video of that below.
The MetLife Stadium shows will take place on Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 and 3. Springsteen has been criticized by some fans for not varying his setlists enough on this tour, so the fact that the second Gillette stadium has some major differences from the first one (Aug. 24) was a good sign that there will be a significant amount of variety in the Meadowlands show.
Here is the setlist, according to setlist.fm. Songs in bold were not played at the Aug. 24 show (which also featured “Trapped,” “The E Street Shuffle” and “Darlington County,” but had only 26 songs as opposed to the 28 of Aug. 26).
