Music #29: a magical night at Ullevi with the wizard Springsteen

half an hour before the concerts starting time the rain held up, it wasn´t that amazing sunshine as those who went on the friday got, but atleast we didn´t have to endure being wet and miserable under the concert.

when bruce and the E street band went out on stage they started the gig with the old creedence song who´ll stop the rain and from that song the concert just took off, it became a magical night, and I´m no hardcore fan, but like some of his music. but that saturday turned in to one amazing concert, and my girlfriend was sold after the end.

there were a few highlights for those hardcore springsteen fans, with some songs he usually don´t play, or so I´ve read in the papers, Frankie is supposed to be one of those. under sunny day he took up a little kid, might have been 6-7 years old who he gave the mike to. and the kid sang the lyrics to the chorus not half bad.

a while into tenth avenue freeze out when the lyrics the big man joined the band, the song just stopped and pictures of clarence clemons were shown on the big screens. and after that they played jungleland and there was clearly a moment that won´t ever come again.

so here´s another bit by the boss
