Simply, the Boss

Després del concert s'entén encara un xic més perquè a Bruce Springsteen se l'anomena the Boss. 59 anys, una forma física envejable, capacitat de moure masses i fer callar 70.000 persones al Camp Nou.

L'armònica, la guitarra i el saxo de Clarence Clemons paralitzen.

Cançons de denúncia, cançons sentimentals. Grans cançons.

Born to run (en els "bisos"), engrescadora.
Thunder Road (en els "bisos" també), bonica.
Tougher than the Rest, romàntica.
Però, Badlands, no sé perquè, és Badlands. Un tast:

" Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin' in my guts, man
I'm caught in a cross fire
that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
and these badlands start treating us good

Workin' in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me"

Les vaig intentar no destrossar massa perquè hagués acabat amb la sequera. Vaig trobar a faltar Dancing in the dark però Catalunya ràdio quan malaparcàvem el cotxe, la va encertar.

Fabulós el final amb "Twist and shout". Come on!

Màgic com el nom de la gira. Un regal.
