Bruce Springsteen Concert

Monday (July 23) I got to see a spectacularly phenomenal concert!

So Amanda, her mom, and I drove into Bergen to meet up with some family and friends that were also attending the concert. When Amanda's aunt and uncle came, we went our separate ways. Amanda and I went to meet up with Mona, Juni, and Juni's friend (who looked very much like a doppelganger of Julia Stiles).

There were TONS of people making their way towards the park where the concert was being held. It was raining a lot going from light to hard rain every other minute. Since the concert was in a park, there were no seats so we had to stand. Yup, we stood for almost 6 hours (3 hours just walking around and waiting for the concert, the other 3 was the concert) but it was well worth it.

Bruce Springsteen was AMAZING!! He was super fun and hilarious! He kept coming up to the audience to let them touch his hands, guitar, and he picked up some signs to show what song they'd play next! The hotel next door to the park had some people who got to watch the concert for free (grr). One guy had a big poster that said "Bruce" on his window and he got to be in the spotlight for being so enthusiastic. Bruce kept teasing them saying he needed a place to stay for the night, haha.

Here is the list of songs he sang:

Who'll Stop the Rain (Perfect kick-off song)
Downbound Train
Cover Me
We Take Care of Our Own
Wrecking Ball (Tour Title Song)
Death to my Hometown
My City of Ruins
Spirit in the Night
Seaside Bar Song (he let a lady sing along with him on the mic)
This Depression
Atlantic City
Because the Night
The Promised Land
Darlington county
Shackled and Drawn
Waiting on a Sunny Day (he let a little boy sing the chorus with the mic by himself. So cute^^)
For You (he played on the piano by himself)
The River
The Rising
Radio Nowhere
Badlands
I'm on Fire
Thunder Road
Born in the USA (got so excited he played the one song I knew!)
Born to Run
Bobby Jean
Dancing in the Dark (Amanda and Juni's favorite song)
Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
and the big Finale song: Twist and Shout 

After the concert, Juni's friend went off to meet up with her family and the rest of us went to our meeting point with Amanda's mom. We had to hold hands because it was PACKED trying to get out of that park. When we got out, Juni and Mona left to go find food and we said goodbye. There was a huge herd of people walking on the roads with random groups singing songs from the concert. It was so fun!

It took us awhile to get out of the parking garage but after what felt like hours (probably just like 30-45 minutes) we finally merged into the long conga line of cars and another few hours (less then an hour really) we got out and were on the highway back home.
