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.

Springsteen can take his concerts and political agenda back to dives in New Jersey and kiss the asses of his fans who just used to like him for his music.
Born To Runat 9-29-2009
If you had any kind of intelligence, you'd realize Bruce Springsteen has always been politically vocal, in both words and actions. Do you think he was involved with No Nukes because of the cool swag they gave him? And if you really did like him just for the music, the songs are still the same. If you don't agree with his current political opions, why would you want him to kiss your ass? In order for you to appreciate a good song, the artist has to have the same viewpoint as you? Maybe you should look at your own thought process, and not worry about what Bruce thinks.

I've got to agree.I'm not a big fan but I did see him
back in the late 70's and thought it was a great show.
When I go to anyone's concert I go to hear ans see the music performed, not to listen to political dialogue.
Also why get all pissy about someone misspelling a word
or using it out of context?I think some people diliberately misspell in order to gt the reader's
attention

One of the most over rated rock musicians of all time.
It's time for Springsteen to hang it up permanently.

Hey Chambers Law pretty easy to sit there and complain....who do you like to listen to....let's have a chance to evaluate that! As a matter of fact anybody who complaines about Bruce S. I dare you to state who you like to listen too! Stop hiding behind your ignorant words....lay it on the line (:

Maybe you should spend less time defending Bruce and work more on your spelling and the proper use of the word "too" - Moron. Right on Chambers Law!!!

Is this old hippie Liberal still alive? I remember when I was in my early 20's this idiot married a little girl half his age. He was like 40+ something. Brain dead wonder Bruce Springsteen whose lyrics are more stupid than a slug on a rock.

Before you make comments you should know what you are talking about. First of all, Julianne was hardly a little girl. She was already an experienced model and had a budding acting career. She was 25 and
Springsteen was 35 when they got married. 10 years between spouses is very common and especially common in the entertainment industry. He has been married to Pattie for 18 years after the 3 year marriage to Phillips. He also is one of the most popular recording artist of all time.

In 1988, Bruce and the band warmed up for the "Tunnel of Love" tour at the Marine Corps Reserve Center in Red Bank, NJ. The full time Marines that worked there got promised a show for them and their families. On the day for the show, Bruce's crew packed up and split. One more example of his dislike of those who serve.

Go away Bruce you suck

Maybe Courtney Cox can come dance in the front row during "Dancing in the Dark" for old times sake.
rogerat 9-30-2009
i here bruce is taking a long vacation. he should use the time to learn a fourth chord. and maybe explore different themes for his words
The Villlage Idiotat 10-06-2009
Hey Roger:
While Bruce is off learning a new chord it will give you the time to learn the difference between here AND hear.

I don't know it is pretty funny to me that if so many people dislike him then how and why is he selling out more shows everywhere than some of thease "other" musicians you all seem to be referring to but can not seem to list. His music spreads across generations, his concerts are fun, and who cares if for 10 min. out of 4 hours he wants to share his opinion. Not like he is changing the country over to a socialist country it's that "I believe in change " moron you all voted for.
Heywoodat 9-30-2009
CRITICS!!! You're all gen x'ers with no soul and no appreciation. You would never ynderstand...so why did you waste your time reading the article AND commenting on him.
csiblackwellat 9-30-2009
Good luck to The Boss and E Street Band on the tour!!
brdbrns3at 9-30-2009
maybe he is trying to support Obama with the album title. Get it? Born in the USA(birth certificate joke). Springsteen should just play that same song for three hours. Born in a USA. Born in a USA, now. He's a cool rockin daddy, he's a USA.
cmtat 9-30-2009
So what. There are many other artists out there that have all ready done the same. For those of you that still enjoy him--have fun! As for me , I was done with him a long, long time ago. Politics and all!
