New Jersey, Oct 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Bruce Springsteen bid farewell to the Giants Stadium with a final concert, before it is demolished.
Bruce Springsteen rocked the Giants Stadium with one last glorious and powerful concert on Friday, before the much-loved stadium is sadly demolished to create parking for a new stadium.
It was Springsteen’s record 24th performance at Giants Stadium. He had performed here for the first time in 1985, where according to the New York Times, “the audiences are his most fervent fans: fellow New Jerseyans.”
The super concert went on for more than 3 hours and an estimated 60,000 people attended it. Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band performed the entire legendary “Born in the USA” album to deafening cheers.
He kept the tradition alive when, he opened with a new song, this time “Wrecking Ball,” about the soon-to-be-demolished stadium. The song was released only last week but his dedicated and loving fans knew all the lyrics by heart, carried “Wrecking Crew” signs, and wore “I Was at the Wrecking Ball” t-shirts.
During the whole concert, the band played 31 songs and had 7 encores too.
