Kansas City is home to one of the tallest, largest and fastest roller coasters in the world at the city’s World of Fun amusement park.
Apparently there was a protest outside The Sprint Centre before tonight's show. The Kansas City Star tells us:-
That church from Topeka that preaches the blasphemy of (among other things) rock and roll exercised its freedom of speech across the street from the Sprint Center on Saturday night. But the more spiritual and evangelical expressions of the heart and soul occurred inside the arena, where for more than three hours Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band unleashed a show for the ages. It was one steeped in love, respect, compassion, sorrow, elation, grief and regret and one that rocked, stirred and inflamed the congregation from the floor to the rafters nearly all night...
...There could be no better ending to this evening, which preached a few sermons: that that life survives the deepest of sorrows; that the heart may not forget but it does heal and forgive and discover redemption and salvation; and that, if you’re going to hand-paint signs for public display, better they promote music and love than hatred and intolerance.
Here's a review from a blogger who was pretty happy with his night:-
The beautiful part of attending ANY Bruce Springsteen concert is being able to wake up the next day and say, “That was the best Springsteen show I have ever seen!” Well, friends—last night’s show in Kansas City WAS the best Springsteen show I have ever seen.
And the set list of that show is here.
I'm not familiar with Kansas City. According to Wikipedea it's a rhythm and blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952.
