Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are regarded as one of the very best live rock acts of all time. From humble New Jersey beginnings in 1972, they grew in popularity to become one of the true icons of American music. Hits such as “Born In The USA” and “Dancing In The Dark” cemented Bruce Springsteen as one of America's top popular rock vocalists. He's known for being one of the hardest-working acts in the industry, and concerts can regularly last three hours or more and tours often last years rather than months.
Bruce Springsteen began his musical career singing and playing in a number of bands in the New Jersey area in the mid-‘60s. Influenced by the likes of Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Cream, his musical style was both a reflection of his own tastes and of his blue-collar working-class American roots. The mix of old-fashioned rock and roll with a more progressive, often politically minded lyrical style soon began to build a cult following for Springsteen. By 1972 he was signed to a deal with Columbia Records, along with the E Street Band. The band's members changed now and then over the years, but the core members were Danny Federici, Clarence Clemons, Garry Tallent, Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg. Together they released their first album, Greetings From Asbury Park NJ, in 1972.
While they enjoyed tremendous success in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, they were launched into the megastar category with the release of Born In The USA in 1984. The album stormed the US charts, becoming one of the biggest-selling records of all time with over 30 million albums sold. Bruce Springsteen became an American pop-culture icon and the band enjoyed huge success worldwide with sold-out stadium tours and numerous top 10 singles.
In 1999 Bruce Springsteen was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and over the years the act has won numerous Grammy and Golden Globe Awards while continuing to rock at sell-out shows the world over. Bruce has always remained true to his roots, often turning down offers from corporate advertisers wanting to use his music for profit. His music has truly captured the American spirit over the years, which is why he has remained a much-loved and consistently popular musician for such a long time. Away from his on-stage commitments he is an activist for equal rights and runs a charity called The Foundation which helps support war veterans and food banks.
During, and after feel so wonderful! Total enjoyment of music and the love of music and performing that the E Street Band with Bruce Springsteen exude!
The Show was great. Great set list. Great energy. Had a great time. But .... The Carrier Dome was not really a great place. Most parking was very far from the venue and some friends waited almost 2 hours to get a shuttle back to their car. But they did warn us and gave a lot directions and advance notice about the parking issue. Plus, they sold a lot of seats on the floor level (ie almost an entire football field,) but it appears the only access to the floor level was through the level 1 seats. The lines to get to the Floor and Level 1 were backed up a lot, especially right before the show started. We could not leave our seats in section 16 right before the show started since both sides of the aisles were being used to get people down the floor right before the show started. During the show there was a constant flow of people in the aisles of our section going to and from the floor and the food / restrooms. Made for a lot of distractions. But having said all that .... it was still a great show.
I can write a bunch of superlatives about the performance I witnessed...but words won't do it justice. Do yourself a favor and go to an E Street Band show before the opportunity no longer exists. You're welcome.

Fantastic concert! Three plus hours of non-stop music. It was worth the wait for Bruce to get healthy. The arena was packed with Springsteen fans!
Awesome concert. 10 of 10 Bruce and fans great!
This was one of my top three Springsteen concerts over the last 40 years I have seen him. Unsurpassed energy, songs from all eras, and the hits as well as the classics, including the beautiful, Racing in the Streets.
Terrible sound. The show was awesome but the sound was muddy.
Waited almost two years for this show. Had some reservations about age, illness, etc… but Bruce was absolutely amazing
Great concert. Access to the venue was very easy and the acoustics and appearance was great. Of course Bruce was awesome… as usual. Just 3 hours and 10 minutes of good ol’ Rock n Roll. And the E Street Band is just “The Best”. A great concert experience
