Wrecking Bergen - Night 1 (Ballerusk Version)

Thursday, 26 July 2012

Brucebase Info (23.07.2012)

First of two shows in Bergen and a Born In The U.S.A.-heavy setlist, with seven songs from the album including the tour premiere of "Cover Me". Opening song "Who'll Stop The Rain" is played with just the accompaniment of Roy on piano - a unique arrangement for the Creedence Clearwater Revival cover. There's also the premiere of "This Depression" (played acoustically, by Bruce alone), which leaves just two Wrecking Ball tracks unplayed to date: "You've Got It" and "Swallowed Up (In The Belly Of The Whale)". Set also includes a solo piano "For You", "Radio Nowhere" and "Seaside Bar Song". It's the first time the latter has been performed outside of the U.S. The encores feature the 1250th confirmed performance of "Born To Run". Patti Scialfa is not present.

Some chatter here and there during the quieter parts. Rained non-stop until about an hour into the show, then a slight drizzle at the end. A woman got to play the drums for a short while during Dancing In The Dark - and played great!
