because there is one and only one truth: my love will never leave you .

The night I go to bed, but I can not sleep
I have something I'm constantly running through my head, I can not stop
In the silence I hear the beat of my heart, the time flies away
I have a time bomb that keeps the time inside me
I have to explain what I mean
I keep looking for you, my dear, looking for you everywhere I go And when you
I found there is only one thing that you know
One thing you need to know

My love will never leave you
My love will never leave you

At night walk down the street in search of a beautiful love story
But I always end up in a sort of trance
find a link to some new eyes But they're all
impenetrable because of too many dreams vanished
I see you in the room that you stand there looking at me without saying anything
Well, 'I will all way through the crowd, knock down all your walls
Throw down all your walls

My love will never leave you
My love will never leave you

Be ', hold still hard, my dear
Keep still hard for the sake of God
Because I made a promise to myself that I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to keep

My love will never leave you
My love will never leave you

PS: The words are always limited, it is true, then if I write a simple "thank you" you know what I mean much, much, much more, and I know, thanks to all my fellow travelers: Chiara, Oriana, Gigi, Matt, Gloria, Maureen, Lorraine, Manu, Ale, Fabri, Jack, Silvia, Beck, Mark Bear, Maryland, White, Armando, Gian, Cri, Vale, Valentina, Martha, Alex, Rob, Lothar, Claudio, Erminia, Giulio, Lohaders all that I saw and I can not remember the name and transennari with whom I shared three interminable (and winning) code.

Wreck This Cold & Wet Dump, Too!

For once, could also suffice for only the numbers: 3 shows, 86 total and 54 different songs for a total of more than 9 hours in concert serve to confirm - who still had some doubts - the extraordinary size and immense strength of that today (as well as five years ago) is certainly the most great rock 'n' roll band that goes around the world.
Often talking to whom Springsteen has not come out statements like: "But what sense does it make three consecutive dates in the same city?" I mean, is not always the same concert? " that you could respond by saying simply: "And that's good." Yes, because if there is something more that makes the current tour better than the previous (and it was very firm difficult, at first), is the fact that you can not get tired, even for a minute, sitting there watching this merry band of boys grew up together playing as if it were the most important thing on earth. The show, which this time Bruce has put up is much more compact and full of meaning than the last part of the Magic Tour (which had turned into a sort of "Play Any Song"), has its encoded spaces in which makes you think , reflect on something which, in this round, is the economic crisis - with its effects - which are weighing on the entire planet, and that has to strike the Americans. So, every night, Bruce took us aside and tells us almost essentially three stories, three different faces of the same problem: who took everything he had, he traveled to Texas in hopes of finding a job is finished, but then to "freeze your ass in the parking lot of a lathe" (Seeds), who Instead, he worked in a dealership has run but find themselves unemployed when the crisis did fail, and then began to drink more and more until one night, drunk, by mistake has not killed a man (John 99), and, Finally, we find a man wandering in the footsteps of the ghost of Tom Joad (who, in the great novel by John Steinbeck, left with his family to California in America's Great Depression), one who works from morning a night in a coal plant to feed their children (Youngstown), or even one who sees their marriage fail as a last consequence of his dismissal (The River). True stories and sadly today, together constitute a strong node of the show along with the song that follows, Working On A Dream, which only at first sight has nothing to do and it seems out of place, but the wounds between the simple reason, it hidden lines of thought that start far from the Promised Land that will resonate later as a mantra in the capacity crowd (sweep away all those dreams you destroy / clears out all those dreams that breaks your heart / It clears out all the lies that leave you with nothing, but lost and heart into a thousand pieces "), yes, because the protagonist of the title track of the last album he began working at dawn and ends when it is already evening, but not discouraged, because," although it seems that the problems will remain here forever, "is working on a dream, and knows that" one day become reality. "
Put aside the "recession-pack", the rest of the concert is a crescendo of emotions, this time powered by an intelligent mix of cards that Badlands has made a song for the opening and the closing "Born To Run Set main. Or at least that was the scenario that was expected after the first leg American had started and closed more or less like this (a few exceptions had seen Cadillac Ranch serve as a conclusion to the first 20 tracks).

But of course Bruce is not one to keep things more equal.

on 4 June is a rainy, cold weather and when we enter the stadium, not only does not seem to stop, but promises to be an audience rather empty and very reluctant to follow the two hour and three quarters to show that there is expect from the E Street Band, most people arrive a few minutes before eight, occupying their places (mostly seated, and then covered) is heating up between himself and waiting for the beginning of the concert, which start up later in a rather unexpected: instead of the music box to which we were accustomed, only comes out with an enviable Nils black turtleneck and then discover that Charlie be the accordion and began playing a melody and recognize that some Swedish will tell us to be the song of Pippi Longstocking (in the city there is also a sort of playground dedicated to her, apparently it's here), that scene will be repeated in the following two evenings and serves as a guest of 'the rest of the E Street entrance, which is presented on stage in all required anti-rain, with hats and scarves, including Bruce (even if its end in the ground after the first three songs, and not see each other again more toward the end) - on the other hand it is not surprising, the temperature is around 10 degrees of concern. And here we are, all soaking wet and shivering, waiting to jump start so we can keep warm, quivering beat in the beginning of the Badlands ... and therefore is not the battery, to give us away, because Bruce is close to the microphone and slowly begins: "Long as I remember, the rain falling down ...", Has Been leaving everyone surprised. Okay, one with a cool head we could also have been thinking in Who'll Stop The Rain, but maybe you would come out in a, or during the space-request, certainly not at the beginning, not this time not the avoidance of there Badlands anyone ... yes, of course, right. In a move has conquered all at once. The show has been going fast, with a great Prove It All Night, which becomes a hymn to our resistance under water, and then I'm Goin 'Down well filled, a '85 Cadillac Ranch style with Bruce, Steve, and Nils Gary all lined up (even if you messed up), an alienating effect with Because The Night performed in daylight and a Wild Thing that has a little 'surprised the stadium. But even the new songs make their impress everyone, especially Pete Outlaw (which Bruce says great, modulating her voice to sing according to what a hat over his eyes and lowering the crucial part), The Wrestler (simply by chills) and Kingdom Of Days (different story than the version on disk, in live situation is pretty powerful and roaring, he would do great scene next to songs like My Love Will Not Let You Down and I Want to Be With You). Stands in the back of a Land Of Hope And Dreams, which pulls a bit 'the sums of the whole matter, with his initial invitation to leave the difficulties behind us and look ahead with confidence, because "tomorrow the sun will shine again and all this darkness is a thing ...". Then here is American Land, a song that maintains its place as "closing" and presentation of the band, which at the end of Bruce, to jump off the stage, makes a mega tumble for a few seconds long does retain a deep breath the entire stadium, ending completely lying on the ground, but while the exposure Nils goes immediately to make sure of its condition, we see it rise even rather enjoyed it, so let it go too we release a laugh. Before closing, there is still room for Glory Days, Dancing In The Dark (which together form an incredible pair) and a short version of Twist & Shout, now classic Swedish in sets, in remembrance of that memorable back in 1985 that he down one side of the stadium in Gothenburg. "See you tomorrow!" Bruce yells at the end, and the stage responds with a roar, before retreating in a hurry to finally going to wear something warm.

The next day it does not rain but there is a deadly cold, temperature that we in Italy can be reached in January, so that an hour before the concert begins to drop a few flakes of snow for a good twenty minutes . However, there are many more people everywhere, including pit, you see that the Swedes are used to the cold, waiting, and so there is also room for some scenery (not very successful, actually). But when everything goes back at eight and a few minutes, it Nils salt all all alone on stage and hang up the traditional Swedish tune, the band released, Bruce embraces the telecaster and, for the second time, the world ends as early as the first song. In stage muted notes 15 resonate solitary power, before it enters the battery to draw all of it is Downbound Train, god only knows how long I wanted to hear, and God only knows what effect it has had in that moment, with a chorus that phenomenal rises immediately after recognizing the song and if good morning starts in the morning ... Arriving requests, Bruce pulls up a very nice sign that says something like: "How's backside?" (In reference to the downfall of the previous day), before giving way to an extraordinary triptych: Growin 'Up, Thunder Road , surprise, surprise, Queen Of The Supermarket (The first time ever), the cartel made mo 'paper boat of the same Bruce is deposited on the head side of a little girl on stage that soon will sing Waitin' On A Sunny Day One of the most beautiful tracks' latest work, live is even more tender and sweet and, along with Thunder Road, form a duo that should never be separated. But the surprises are not finished yet and so, after The Promised Land, there comes a majestic and magnificent Lost In The Flood, having shown much rain the day before. "The ragamuffin gunner is returin 'home, like a hungry runaway ..." attacks Bruce and the entire stadium fell silent in a second, remaining in silence to listen as long as the plan does not fade completely. Bruce is in top form, his voice digs deep into the folds of the words, Roy is as always a terrible figure and Jay gets along great. At the end part of a long round of applause, which will go out on the drum sound of Radio Nowhere better than ever. For a the clouds go away, so that the stage Bruce is able to see the full moon rises, taking advantage of now and still show the BITUSA Tour: "The Night Was bright, and the yellow moon Was ..." she whispers, before diving again in Glory Days, follows the best version of the Detroit Medley I've ever heard live, with our out of control that adds, before closing assigned as a prompt to Devil With The Blue Dress On, a portion of the Land Of 1000 Dances, as in the Darkness and River Tour Before you give us the final greeting ("See you on Sunday!"), there is still time for a Another round of dances, this time in the dark.

The last concert of the day already looks like the best of three, with the sun shining since morning and finally a tolerable temperature, around 15 degrees, probably it will be remembered for one of the most interactive of soundcheck 'Bruce's entire career: about four-thirty in the afternoon while we were in line to enter the pit, suddenly from inside the Stadium gets a snare drum, and then a voice, after a moment of wonder we recognize Boom Boom, John Lee Hooker's classic that was fixed in the lineup in the Tunnel Of Love tour, quickly followed by Back In Your Arms Surprise, Surprise, and, last but not least, Fade Away, we recognize that only when the chorus, because we were singing along despite continued to elude the name of the song. And it is in the middle of it that Bruce stops and begins to "speak music", as he often did in the past, we are listening with bated breath, and when he whispered: "Have you ever felt a love that you ' Had you slipping away? ", not thinking that there is someone there to listen, we respond with a roar from outside is incredible that, even more absurd, manages to get her ears so that we hear him reply with an amused: "That's right ...". Oh yes, is expected to end with a bang!

So three hours later, the sun does not notice when the lights go down, there we were, this time on stage for the final concert in Swedish land, which opens with the now fixed Nils accordion , the band released, Bruce as well, but wait, where's Clarence? After a moment of general confusion, we see him out of another entrance, leaning on our own; how? Why? one wonders, and here to search all doubt comes No Surrender, with an additional plus: Milwaukee style last year, the band appear on the panels behind the beautiful pictures of the band 1978-1985 period, coupled with lyrics that send a message rather than clear ("We made a promise, we swore that we would have always kept faith: No retreat baby, no surrender"). Shortly after this is the first surprise of the evening: The River, his debut on this tour, he made his triumphal entry, with an outro solo by Bruce that puts chills the entire stadium, including the request, a powerful and epic space Trapped before the magician pulls off his top hat at his cards better. Fade Away is the first, welcomed by a huge roar (it was from March 5, 1981 in Indianapolis that the E Street Band not performed) and a standing ovation at its end: that version will remain in the memory of all those present, with which our During the spoken intro, at some point falls kneeling on the floor begging his woman and beating his fist on his heart, and a final crescendo in a collective, until, with a wave of his hand, Roy begins to decrease the volume of plan and the voice of Bruce does not turn into a sweet, slow whisper. One of those places where you'd like time stopped to give yourself time to realize what you just saw. But the show does not stop, time to take up a telecaster and show a gift bag that reads, simply: "Surprise!" said-done, and only a few notes of the stage is all up to blow a coverage live from fear, charge and pulled to the right place, so that one wonders why not assign a permanent place in the lineup, also attended the public with the singing, especially the last part ("And in the darkness of the morning while the sky struggle to shine, to caress the sun rise and bless your soul forever "), addressed in unison and in perfect sync to the one and only one person. The Encores start with the harmonic Thunder Road (instead of Hard Times, which perhaps had better be put aside: beautiful, but not very suitable for the E Street Band and not very functional open the wildest part of the concert), and immediately understands to be able to wait for a final to remember: with Clarence that remains on stage to make his only great, it's up to a counterpoint to Steve Bruce in his imaginary race to the end of the long corridor side, as if to embrace the entire stadium to the tune of a song that is, as the author himself has called it "a great invitation , the public and myself. To all who are interested ... My invitation to travel a long journey, a lot of ground. " Following Jungleland, perfect in its execution, in a sublime triptych begun with "Born To Run-closing the main set; after American Land there is room for Ramrod recently dusted off and played without much frills (and therefore much more effect than its far too long the Rising Tour) and for the umpteenth but always powerful and engaging Dancing In The Dark (which collects three appearances on three shows): Bruce jumps continuously and shows no signs of quitting, involving and convincing every single person sitting to stand up and follow him. And while the last notes fade, a sign emerges from the crowd: "Do not break your ass and break this dump!" Which, like any good Swedish knows, translates immediately and inexorably Twist & Shout, played this time in his "extended version", with our role of a conductor who directs slap the audience at will, making repeated trills and playing to no end to raise and lower the (readily imitated by anyone). Go ahead and forward, forward, forward, and it really seems that this should not end up the most magical night, we're going forward, "All Night Long" to dance and sing, drunk with life, reported as if by magic year of grace 1985. "Thanks, Stockholm, you are always in our hearts!" Bruce yells when he returned to the stage, before lifting up the guitar, his scepter, staff, and scream, with all the latest energy and the last faint voice that has to available after three hours and ten of the concert: "We'll see you again."

Receive a roar of terrifying answer: because we we believe, the story is not over yet, soon we will meet again all together here, in the darkness to dance, sing of a promised land, ready to run to our next destination.
