Springsteen to Play Entire 'Born in the U.S.A.' Album at Giants Stadium

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 was dedicating entire shows to the Vietnam vets in the late 70s when the war was still taboo, vets were being ignored and no-one prominent had the guts to stick up for those guys because of the potential fallout. Get your facts right over comments about his view of those who serve. It's BS to suggest he's been anything other than supportive.

A true gift to readers and fans alike, the book gives the world a probing look into the inner circle of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Bands royally rocking musical family.

Co-authored by Don Reo with the forward written by Bruce Springsteen, this cutting edge book enthralls readers with fact and fiction. In the forward Bruce writes, “This is not your average rock book. It is something creative, something unique, something new. It is the story of E-Street. It is the story of stories. It is the story of the Big Man.”

Throughout the book The Big Man opens up about his relationship with Bruce and reveals never been told before info. “I knew it when I first met him. Because he was what I was looking for and I was what he was looking for. When we met it felt real for me, it felt real for both of us,” Clemons proclaims.



“The tales of rock and roll history are brought to life by a legend himself, Clarence Clemons.” Former President Bill Clinton



Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales is a must have for anyone who loves Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and has been touched by the Big Man’s legendary musical prowess.

Springsteen ruined all other live music for me, as once I saw one of his 3 to 4 hour shows, it was like no one else was even trying. I'm looking forward to my 48th and 49th shows in November and the first one was in 1978. Who knows how many opportunities there will be to see the greatness of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in the future?

Haters out there, why worry about this or even comment? Surely, you have better things to do with your time, right?

Born in the USA is the greatest album ever! I'm sure most people wont agree, but it's my all time favorite. I'd love to be at that show.

I am really a fan of the 1st three LP's but I salute him for doing something special for his fans.
He has become what he is because of what he has done-not who he is-as is the case in most celebrities.
This band is legendary-truly.

I was at the Chicago show, and it was an amazing night. I could only wish to be at a Darkness or USA show.

Hey Dougie,
Yeah lets listen to you and not the millions of fans that love him. 7 top 10 hits on one album - the river. On the cover of Newsweek and Time magazine in the same week. Still selling out major stadiums at the age of 60!!!!! He's been doing that for 35 years. OH, but Dougie knows better. HA HA HA Who do you follow Dogie??? Afraid to say. Hide Hide Hide
