Cologne 27th May 2012 - show 26



So Cologne last night.  Germany's fourth largest city which, apparently, has a famous cathedral.

I have to say that, after the glowing reviews the tour got in America, the European leg isn't attracting any media comment good or bad. Even the German fan club doesn't seem to offer any more than the set list.  Mind you, I don't speak German so there may be something hidden somewhere.  

For me this set was a little disappointing but Bruce couldn't go on getting better and better and sometimes you just have to be there. Three sign requests It seems.  Seven Nights To Rock isn't one of my favourites and I'd prefer the signs to be something a bit 'off piste' from Bruce's own catalogue.  The Ties That Bind is a good'un though. This was picked up during the main set but I quite like the idea of taking signs during the encore only. 

American Land was an encore sign. Although this hasn't been played since the first show of the tour I  think it still needs a bit more of a rest.

Atlantic City wasn't a sign but made a welcome reappearance. It too hasn't been played since very early on.  Now, he could bring that out every night for me.

A final observation - since debuting Born In The USA in Las Palmas it's been played every night.

Here's the full list.
