Penn State 1st November 2012 - show 74



The 16,000 seat Jordan Center hosts circuses, sports exhibitions, family shows, commencements, lectures, and Big Ten Basketball, as well as some of the top-name performers in the music entertainment industry



All the reviews of tonight's show emphasise Bruce's references to hurricane Sandy Rolling Stone
says :-


Bruce Springsteen dedicated a wrenching version of "My City of Ruins" to Asbury Park, New Jersey, during a performance last night in Pennsylvania... 

I particularly like this mention from the same article:-
  

..holding up a sign handed to him by someone in the crowd that read, "Never forget, 4th of July, Asbury Park."

"There you go," Springsteen said. "We can't let a hurricane get rid of that one."

There are a couple of references in the Backstreets review worth a mention.

The first has cropped up before but I still makes me laugh:-

Bruce made his traditional acknowledgement of seeing old faces and new faces in the crowd, and took it a step further by asking how many people in the crowd had never seen the E Street Band before. After the loud cheer in response, Bruce said, "We're gonna fuck you up! That makes me happy." 

The second is something I don't remember from any other review:-

Security had confiscated most signs from the GA crowd... obviously the 'Sandy' sign mentioned earlier got through.

There are some people who might think that is no bad thing especially if they have had the experience of standing behind someone blocking their view with a sign... and we all know that the songs picked out aren't really random.

Anyway here's the full set list.
