The Boss's Roaring Return: A Review of Bruce Springsteen's Greensboro Performance

 Welcome to the review of Bruce Springsteen's show in Greensboro, North Carolina on July 21st. This concert was part of his summer tour and marked the first time he has played in this area since 2005.
The purpose of this review is to give you an idea of what it was like to attend a Bruce Springsteen concert. I will discuss the venue and atmosphere, as well as highlight some memorable moments from the night's performance.

The Venue

The Greensboro Coliseum is a large, multi-purpose arena located in Greensboro, North Carolina. It hosts concerts and other events such as sporting events and trade shows. The venue has a capacity of 23,000 people for basketball games and up to 27,000 for concerts.
The atmosphere at this venue was electric! The crowd was so energetic that it felt like we were all one big family there together celebrating Bruce's birthday with him!

The Performance

 -   Highlights of the performance
    -Bruce Springsteen and his band are in top form. The sound is crisp and clear, with no muddiness or distortion.

 -   Description of the band
    -The E Street Band consists of three guitars (including one acoustic), a bass guitar, drums, saxophone and organ. There is also an additional keyboardist who plays piano during some songs but not others; he doesn't seem to have a set role in the group as far as I can tell. In addition to playing their instruments onstage with Bruce Springsteen, each member has his own microphone so he can sing along with his instrument parts during certain songs where they're featured prominently (such as "The Rising" or "Born To Run").

The Setlist

The setlist was a mix of old and new, with a few surprises thrown in. The show started with "My Love Will Not Let You Down," an upbeat song from Springsteen's latest album Western Stars. He then played "Growin' Up" which was released in 1972 on his first album Greetings From Asbury Park N.J., followed by "Born To Run," which was released on the same album but didn't get much attention until 1975 when it became his first top 40 hit single in the US.
Next came "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" from 1975's Born To Run album and then another newer song called "American Land" off last year's Western Stars record (which references North Carolina). Next came another older classic: "Thunder Road." This song is about driving down Route 9 through the Poconos Mountains late at night when everything seems quiet except for thunder rumbling across the sky above you--a perfect description of what happened during this performance!
