November
29 / Minneapolis, MN
Notes: Bruce and the band go out on top: the final show of 1999
was a strong one, and loose, with some great changes from the night before.
Surprises include the full-band version of "Red Headed Woman," the new
acoustic arrangement of "No Surrender," "Racing in the Street," "Trapped,"
the second performance of "Santa" on this tour, and two songs from the
under-represented-of-late Tracks box. So this is it for now, but the train
should keep rolling down the tracks from here. The best news, in Bruce's
own words: "We'll be out again next year!"
Setlist: My Love Will Not Let You Down/Prove It All Night/Two Hearts/Trapped/Darlington
County/Red Headed Woman/Factory/Point Blank/Youngstown/Murder Inc./Badlands/Out

November
28 / Minneapolis, MN
Notes: Patti is again back onstage for this show originally scheduled
for November 3. Those up close (who could see the strings of Christmas
lights as yet unlit) had a hint of things to come: That's right, Santa
Claus came to town, complete with St. Nick himself and four elves onstage
tossing out candy canes.

includes "Boom Boom." Only Minneapolis left to go!

14 / Cleveland, OH
Notes: "Spirit in the Night" leads off the first encore, for Night
One of two in Cleveland. Patti Scialfa is still absent, recovering from
her perforated eardrum, and the set again inlcudes "My Hometown" in what
had been the Patti/Bruce duet (Mansion/Factory) slot. "Ramrod" closes
for the fourth show in a row.

November
6 / Fargo, ND
Notes: Patti's still suffering from the perforated eardrum that
caused the Minneapolis shows to be cancelled, but the Fargo show goes
on without her. It finds Garry stepping up for some background vocals,
and Nils taking over Patti's part in "Fall Behind." The show also brings
the U.S. tour premiere of "My Hometown" (which had been played previously
only in Madrid), for a total of five songs from the Born in the U.S.A.
album. "Ramrod" was called as an audible to close.

October
23 / Los Angeles
Notes: If we needed any more indication that the closing night
of any stand is the one to catch, take a gander at the setlist below.
"Incident" (!) into "For You," and when the lights came back up after
"Ghost," Springsteen was sitting at the piano for the tour-proper premiere
of "The Promise." Whew. Not to mention rare openers and closers... a lucky
crowd in L.A.
Setlist: Take ÕEm As They Come/The Ties That Bind/Two Hearts/Adam
Raised a Cain/Darkness on the Edge of Town/The Promised Land/Factory/Independence

Second Encore: Thunder Road/If I Should Fall Behind/Spirit in the
Night/Land of Hope and Dreams
October
17 / Los Angeles
Notes: A few barbs from Springsteen about the brand new L.A. venue--
too many boxes for the rich folk, not enough water pressure in the shower--
as the E Street Band opens the Staples Center, and "My Love" is back as
the opener!
Setlist: My Love Will Not Let You Down/Prove It All Night/Two Hearts/Darkness
on the Edge of Town/The Promised Land/Mansion on the Hill/The River/Youngstown/Murder

15 / Phoenix, AZ
Notes: For the first show of the second U.S. leg, special guest
Sam Moore joins in during the encores for the one-off of "Soul Man"! During
"Working on the Highway," Bruce handed his acoustic to an air-guitarist
in the front of the crowd, who actually got to play a few licks before
passing it back.

E Street Band return to the stage in Phoenix on October 15.

25 / Philadelphia
Notes: Two stunning nights back to back to close out Philly. A
jaw-dropper from the first note on this closing night, as "Incident

"Incident" opened the show and by all reports sounded great. "New York
City Serenade" and "Raise Your Hand" were also played.

26 / Boston, MA
Notes: The second-to-last show of the stand again proves to be
outstanding, at three hours, with eight encores. And loose! Like the band
cracking up through a hilarious (!) "If I Should Fall Behind," Bruce then
calling out "Follow me, boys!" before diving into a spontaneous "Ramrod.
If that's what comes from a mistake or two, bring on the mistakes. Oh,
plus we got "For You," "Stand on It," "Racing in the Street," and "Backstreets"
to open.

AUGUST
4 / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: The sets are still a bit shorter than a few months ago--this
one at 23 songs--but the set keeps a-changin' nicely. To kick off the
show: the tour debut of "No Surrender," featuring the full E Street
Band. Two more tour debuts, "For You," and "Back in Your Arms
Again"! Bruce even spoke a bit before the latter, telling about a
missed opportunity. Plus "Ramrod" for the second time.
Setlist: No Surrender/Prove It All Night/Two Hearts/Darkness on
the Edge of Town/Darlington County/Factory/The River/Youngstown/Murder

AUGUST
2 / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: The show opened with the rare "Take 'Em As They Come," and
featured a particularly outstanding "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out" -- complete
with brand-new rap and the incorporation of "Take Me to the River." Plus
"Meeting Across the River," and the tour premiere of "Something in
the Night".

AUGUST
1 / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: When the show opens with "Backstreets," you know you're
in for quite a ride. Especially when it's followed by "The Ties That Bind."
Just a couple other highlights included the live premiere of "Trouble
River" and the tour premiere of "Ramrod," at Max Weinberg's
request.

JULY
29 / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: Patti's birthday brings a few treats for the crowd, including
a full "Red Headed Woman" and the first "Give the Girl a Kiss" on the
tour proper (though it was played at the warm-up in Asbury). Bobby Bandiera
guested on "Hungry Heart." But the biggest surprise of the night was the
opener, the tour premiere of "The Ties That Bind."

JULY
27 / East Rutherford, NJ
Notes: One thing about these rare back-to-back shows, Bruce does
mix things up. Nine songs that weren't played the night before, including
the tour premiere of "Candy's Room" and the return of "Because
the Night." "Freehold" is left out for the first time at these Jersey
shows. Also, the power onstage went out during "Light of Day." Divine
intervention? Your call.
