If it’s pure, primal rock and roll thrills you’re looking for in a live performer, Bruce Springsteen is your man. It just seems to be what the New Jersey-born singer, songwriter and band leader was put on this planet to do. On record, he’s released some of the most significant albums of the last 50 years and given us some of the most life-affirming, heart-swelling anthems imaginable, but it’s in the live arena that the man they rightly call ‘The Boss’ really comes into his own. Thousands of music fans of all ages filled the Principality Stadium for the much-awaited return of American singer Bruce Springsteen. Also known as The Boss, 74-year-old Springsteen kick-started the European leg of his 2024 tour at Cardiff’s huge stadium – and he performed an epic three-hour set!,
The three-hour set, 29-song setlist opened with a deep cut in the form of ‘So Young And In Love’, an outtake from the 1974 recording sessions for ‘Born To Run’ that finally saw a release as part of the 1998 box set ‘Tracks’.
Also On Sunday in Cardiff for the first time Bruce Springsteen and the E.Street Band played the song “If I was a Priest” in Europe. It happened in the first European gig / show in Europa at May 5th in 2024 in Cardiff / Wales. The song was not printed on the setlist that evening.
The Boss played his first show in Wales for 11 years at the start of a three-month string of dates that will take him up to two climactic shows at London’s Wembley Stadium on 25th and 27th July.
