For their second sold-out show last week, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band set a torrid pace out of the gate on Friday night, with one song beginning as the last one ended.
The burst of “Night” gave way to a rousing “No Surrender” – and it was no coincidence that the politically-minded Steven van Zandt played a guitar painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag for “No Surrender.”
If anything, the themes have changed more than the music. Older songs brim with unbridled romanticism . Recent songs address mortality and loss with a lifetime of wisdom. The band switched tempos with “Nightshift,” the Commodores 1985 hit, which is also about artists who’ve died. . Springsteen recorded the tune for his recent recording of soul music covers, “Only the Strong Survive.” This number gave an opportunity to spotlight his stellar backup singers, including the truly outstanding Curtis King Jr.
Even slower songs, like the cover of Jimmy Cliff’s “Trapped,” burned with the intensity of a band that still wanted to prove something. “Backstreets” remained almost operatic in its emotional outpouring, and “Wrecking Ball” sounded great — another defiant song about raging into the dying of the light.
