Only Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen can match. If the head last night gave a full show, able to captivate the most seasoned fan and snob incredulous, almost by chance, just a skeptic, sitting in the stands of the Olympic, on Friday does not fall short.
With a riskier setlist, which was altered on the fly without fear, Springsteen returned the Lluís Companys upside down. I say risky because more accurate shooting Thursday - "Out In The Street", "No Surrender", "Hungry Heart ..." - became less known gems by the general public on Friday. While maintaining in general the skeleton of the standard of this show Wrecking Ball Tour, the New Jersey dared to open fire with a brutal version of "Night" followed by a flawless "The Ties That Bind". While Springsteen fan thanked him, the more respectable he was cold in the early stages of the evening, perhaps expecting something as devastating as "Badlands", the show-opener the day before.
The boss, who understands this, he realized what was happening and after "We Take Care Of Our Own" did not hesitate to tell the great, great, great Steve Van Zandt, whose mother passed away on Wednesday, to approach the central micro accompany him on a youthful interpretation of the classic "Two Hearts" that, now, finally lit the fuse of the attendees. After this overwhelming start, the trio "Wrecking Ball", "Death To My Hometown", "My City Of Ruins" put us in position and prepared us for "Spirit In The Night" and one of the most magical moments of the evening: "The E-Street Shuffle". The band embroidered this mythical theme, which opens the legenadrio The Wild The Innocent and The E-Street Shuffle, to the delight and debauchery of the more traditional Springsteen fans. After that, a new dedication to the outraged the 15-M and a chilling rendition of "Jack Of All Trades" closing argument the first part of the night.
The second half opened with a heartbreaking "Trapped", cover of Jimmy Cliff, Bruce sang with rage at the fists of the public. After "Downbound Train" and "Because The Night", with Nils Lofgren solo stratospheric-turned night Barcelona, again, the food of the dreams that always, always, always satisfied in E-Street. Then, "Working On The Highway", "Shackled and Drawn", "Waiting On A Sunny Day" and "The Promised Land" made up the 20 minutes of show holidays.
That's when something happened that many had long expected: Roy Bittan's piano changed the introduction of "Prove It All Night", which was shed so many tears on Thursday to present another of the most epic themes of Springsteen's career "Racing In The Street". For 10 minutes, in suspense almost 50,000 hearts were entertained at one of the most beautiful and profound songs rock dilated American Songbook. The image of Bruce Springsteen still as a statue, Telecaster air, while the E-Street Band inexhaustible nailed the dramatic coda of the song will remain forever in our retinas.
After this magic moment, came the turn of the inseparable duo "the Rising", "We Are Alive". "Badlands" closed this time the main set, replacing "Thunder Road". Almost without respite, and cheered by the chants of thousands of fans, Springsteen became a prisoner of authentic rock and roll in a wild rendition of "Ramrod". After that - which meant the eleventh change from the night before, the E-Street Band played exactly the encore on Thursday, bringing new audiences to ecstasy Barcelona.
Just before leaving, Bruce, with a wink, we screamed our favorite verse: "We'll be seeing you".
Word of Springsteen. Go save.
