The show continued with each song slamming into the next without a break! This was the Boss and his rebooted E-Street band at its best! Around the 9.30 pm mark, Bruce jammed away with his guitar buddy little Steven treating the non-stop dancing crowd to some amazing riffs! Steven broke away and in came Nils and the Boss/ Nils duo slammed into a spectacular guitar freakout setting Rogers Centre afire!
Believe it or not, a little later the Boss was ‘upstaged’ as he brought up a young pre-teen girl from the audience to sing a good portion of ‘Waitin’ on a Sunny Day!’ as the crowd cheered. The little girl had a real melodious voice and actually sang in key and Bruce let her have her day for a while before prompting her to end with ‘Come on, E-Street band!’ As she jumped off the stage, Bruce quipped ‘Canada’s got talent!’ Yeah, man, it certainly does!
He did many of his hits including ‘Wrecking Ball’, ‘Murder Incorporated’, ‘Candy’s Room’, ‘Born to Run’ and more before breaking into ‘Dancin’ in the Dark’ getting everybody into a dancing frenzy and once again calling up the same young girl who sang ‘Waitin’ on a Sunny Day’ to dance with him and then picking her up in his arms and returning her to her family! The girl was all smiles! He also made another woman’s evening by answering to a written request on a board to ‘dance with my wife for her anniversary!’ Yes folks the lovable boss grooved with his ‘staff ‘!
After 3 hours 35 minutes, the night ended with ‘Glory Days’. The concert was beyond exceptional and the raw brutal energy Bruce and his band exuded was a categorical assertion that there is still a rock nirvana!
