If you want to see a first hand review from one the peeps on Greasy Lake here you are.  It's certainly an interesting read.

And another review here written with the enthusiasm we have come to expect this tour:-

There are many ways to express the pure rock ’n’ roll joy that poured forth from the New Jersey native and his E Street Band. Let’s begin with a quantification. The show featured 33 songs, 19 of which hadn’t been performed at the two shows he played at the Wells Fargo Center in March. Sunday’s show clocked in at 3 hours and 43 minutes. Before this summer, he had never played a show this long and hadn’t even come close since 1980. This ties with a Madrid outing as his second-longest show and ranks behind only a four-hour-plus affair in Helsinki.

If one can attest to quality based on these statistics alone, this show proved to be a rousing success. Of course this is only part of the Bruce Springsteen experience. Qualitatively, Sunday’s show was a smash as well.

Certainly this show will not be soon forgotten, ... a nearly ageless performer performing magical feats of musical mastery.

A bit of a negative here though.  

Despite the crowd’s unwarranted indifference to some of the more introspective works from Wrecking Ball, like “Jack of All Trades” and “We Are Alive”...

Is this one of those American crowd 'problems'?

Here's the set list.  For me the highlight is Jersey Girl. I really like this song - it's so romantic.
