Seeing Springsteen and E Street has been on my bucket list for a long time. But there are only a couple of acts I'm willing to shell out north of $500 to see, and while I like the Boss, I don't like him THAT much. IIRC last time he was in Mpls the show was at US Bank. Now it's at Target Center, which is well under half that capacity. Prices will be insane. And he probably won't even play the few songs I'd like to see most.

When he was younger, Springsteen shows ran for 3-4 hours and he pretty much covered his best known and popular songs. I saw him at the L.A. Sports Arena in October of 1980 and he played for about 3 1/2 hours IIRC.

However, I don't know if Bruce, at the age of 76 has the stamina to go for that long.

I'd pay if he just did 10 of his most popular tunes and the entire Darkness on the Edge of Town album. Realistically, he'll play at most two of those songs: Badlands and Prove It All Night. Zero chance he goes deep and includes Something in the Night, Racing in the Street, the title track, or Candy's Room. I don't want to hear Hungry Heart, Rosalita, or Glory Days.

He will play Promised Land and Glory Days.  No Rosalita. When I was a frequent attendee I couldn’t stand some housewives and Rusty all drunk and yelling for Rosalita and Jersey girl.

In August 2016 I attended his second longest US show at Met Life. In the pit.  That will be my last time. I did see him on broadway. That kinda sucked.

Meh. I'd skip Promised Land, Factory, and Adam Raised a Cain. Easily the three weakest tracks from a magnificent album. IMHO

ARAC is powerful live. A much heavier sound.

I don't dislike ARAC, it just didn't grab me like the rest of the record. Making it heavier would be pretty cool, the song lends itself to that.

I realize this but squissy always throws hissies when someone else does this

Politics aside I’ve always had a strong dislike for Springsteen I do like a couple of songs from Nebraska but that’s it

Not 100% joking.   I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a large gathering related to a person who is polarizing in his political stances.   Nope.   Not taking that chance.

That says a lot about where we are as a country right now, none of it good.

Bruce kind of sucks, but I liked him as a kid. Saw him on the Born in the USA tour. Wouldn’t bother to see him now.

“Hey little girl is your daddy home, did he go and leave you all alone ? I got a bad desire. Oh oh oh I’m on fire”.  WTF? He’s also in the Epstein files.

I thought that was his best song.  And the only Springsteen song I don't want to instantly change the station.

 Yes, he is, but it means absolutely nothing.

AI Overview

 

Yes, Bruce Springsteen's name appears in the documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which were released as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but his inclusion does not indicate any wrongdoing or direct association with Epstein's crimes

Based on the released documents and reports from February 2026, here is the context for his appearance:

• Event Mentions: Springsteen is mentioned in the files because Epstein was a fan, attended, or discussed attending concerts where Springsteen performed, such as the "12-12-12" Concert for Sandy Relief.
• Social Correspondence: In a 2009 email, a contact mentioned to Epstein that they "sat with Bruce Springsteen" at a dinner, and another note mentions Springsteen as a performer at a high-profile party, according to reports in the files.
• Routine Documentation: The files contain millions of pages, including routine items like event invitations, news clippings, and public-facing emails where numerous celebrities are mentioned. 
• Musicians mentioned in these files, including Springsteen, are highlighted due to their name appearing in a "wide variety of contexts" that are often, on their face, unrelated to Epstein’s illicit activities.

Liberal Hero Springsteen signed off on $3,000 tickets for his new concerts. Fans cannot be surprised.

To repeat what I wrote amid the uproar in ‘22: Bruce Springsteen does not care about you. He cares that he, his band, his management and his production company all get paid what they believe they are worth — fair enough — and he knows that no matter what he charges, there will be butts in seats when he visits Prudential Center in Newark April 20.

After all, at 76, Bruce’s shows are an increasingly finite product — who knows how many more nationwide runs he has in him? Supply and demand, free market capitalism, blah, blah, gag me with a microphone wire
