Barcelona 17th May 2012 - show 23



So Barcelona tonight - the second largest city in Spain. The capital is Madrid.

I didn't anticipate how excited I would be last night - a sort of excitement by proxy.  We know quite a number of people who were in Barcelona, and because I knew how stoked they would be, I got quite giddy myself.

We followed the set list up to about half way.  Tiredness set in - you don't get quite the same adrenaline rush sat on the sofa at home.

Here's a brief mention of the gig from Backstreets :-

Springsteen and the E Street Band clearly came to Barcelona to rock. Along with burners like "Youngstown," "Murder Inc.," "Johnny 99" and "Born in the U.S.A.," out goes the "Apollo Medley," and in come "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" and "Hungry Heart." But the shocker of the night answers 30+ years of hope and dreams: "Prove It All Night" is played with the legendary extended introduction from the 1978 Darkness tour. Full report to come.

A confession here - I'm full of them lately.  Prove it All Night with the legendary intro from 1978, which caused such a furore around the net, is not legendary in this house. I love the song and I'm sure this version has been discussed many times but it's obviously passed me buy. I've caught up today though.

So the full set list - what about that time !!!
