Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have officially caught the full album fever. In response to the tremendous response the band got when they played 'Born to Run' in its entirety in Chicago last week, Springsteen has decided to turn his upcoming five-night Giants Stadium run into a showcase for three of his biggest albums.Joining 'Born to Run,' which will be played again Oct. 8, the rotation includes 'Darkness on the Edge of Town,' getting its standalone moment Oct. 2, and 'Born in the U.S.A' Oct. 3 and 9.
These shows will mark the first time Springsteen and the band will perform the full 'Born in The U.S.A.,' the 1984 album that spawned seven Top 10 singles and brought him from rock radio to pop icon. 'Darkness' got the full treatment last year when the E Street Band played both 'Darkness' and 'Born to Run' at a benefit show at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, N.J.
But for a generation of fans who grew up 'Dancing in the Dark,' the opportunity to see the album in full 25 years after its release is definitely a chance to relive their 'Glory Days.' These shows mark the final concerts at Giants Stadium, and we can't think of a better way to close it out than with 'Born in The U.S.A' blaring from the PA system one final time.
