As the lights came up on the stage of the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Bruce greeted the crowd by saying that “when you come to Kansas City, you can’t resist playing this song – so we’ll play it first!” The E Street Band launched into a brash, flamboyant arrangement of the Leiber & Stoller…
Thursday night’s show in Omaha, Nebraska would unexpectedly open with a 1-2-3 from the actual Nebraska album: “Reason to Believe” (in its crunchy, ZZ Top-esque incarnation from the Magic tour), “Johnny 99″ (in its rollicking, zydeco-like incarnation), and the classic E Street Band version of “Atlantic City.” By the time the night was over, there…
