Bruce Springsteen has fulfilled expectations and six years after his last date in Spain, now 73 years old, he has once again conquered an audience that, due to his dedication and endurance during the almost three hours of concert in Barcelona, seemed very aware of living a historic night.
Two minutes before 9:00 p.m., with a punctuality almost unbecoming of rock legends, the members of the E Street Band have begun to parade across the stage of an Olympic Stadium packed to the brim with 55,000 people. .
Dressed in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves, jeans, wristbands and a guitar on his shoulder, the 'boss' of rock has offered a monumental concert displaying great physical, musical and vocal shape. A setlist that included, among other classics, No Surrender, Born in the USA, Ghost, Prove It All Night, Out in the street, Candy's room, Kitty's back, Brilliant disguise, Dancing in the Dark and Born to run, as well as Letter To You and Last man standing with the superimposed lyrics in Catalan on the big screens.
Last night's concert in Barcelona has also been around the world, largely due to the singer's luxury guests, former United States President Barack Obama, accompanied by his wife Michelle, as well as film director Steven Spielberg and his wife , actress Kate Capshaw.
The viral icing was put by the former first lady, Michelle Obama, who took the stage to join the choirs and play the tambourine at Glory Days with Capshaw and the singer's wife, Patti Scialfa.
Springsteen repeats the concert this Sunday at the Olympic Stadium before heading to Ireland, his next stop on a tour of Europe. The Boss still has many stadiums to fill, if he feels like it.
