I'd like to say I was Bruce fan 50 years ago, but I wasn't. By the time the "Darkness on Edge of Town" tour came around in 1978 I had heard of the epic shows and he was getting lots of airplay on FM radio. I attended one of the first stops of that tour in Indy and I was hooked. Then there were radio broadcasts of several later tour stops. The Agora in August 1978 is especially famous broadcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jic6a-PYQJU
Badlands (Live at the Agora, Cleveland, OH - 08/09/78 - Official Audio)
here's two more from that tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkrYe1Roo1s
Bruce Springsteen - Prove It All Night - Passaic September 20, 1978
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - She's The One (Live in Houston, 1978)
and as a bookend to the past five decades of #Springsteen - my vote for the opening song of the 2023 tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo5QNcFioZ4
Bruce Springsteen - Ghosts (Lyric Video)
Get Bruce Springsteen’s new album ‘Letter To You’ today: https://brucespringsteen.lnk.to/LTY Listen to “Ghosts” now: https://brucespringsteen.lnk.to/GhostsID...
Mlancia@kevinault Ghosts would be great. I remember hearing an interview when he was promoting the release of Letter to You and a fan asked him what song he would open his shows with if he was able to tour off that album. Bruce said “Burnin Train”.
@mlancia also a good choice. I was trying to imagine the crowd noise with Bruce singing over them 'I hear the song of your guitar.'
@kevinault no question, Ghosts would start the show off with a bang (like he likes to do).
