There’s a large contingent of Bruce Springsteen fans who feel that The Boss gives he best at European shows. Only three performances in to the E Street Band’s just-started European leg of the Wrecking Ball Tour, those fans are looking extremely smart right now. Springsteen and the E Street Band are in the middle to tonight’s show at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden as of press time and there’s already news from the gig worth posting.

The Boss and his band have shocked the Swedish crowd by performing their 1975 iconic album Born To Run in its entirety. After opening the show with six songs that included three off Wrecking Ball, Springsteen and the E Streeters lit into Thunder Road. By the time they got to Backstreets it became clear what was happening. Bruce has covered the album a few times in 2008 and 2009, but in nearly all of those instances The Boss had announced his intentions before the show. Not tonight!
Pro-shot video of Out In The Street and The Promised Land has already surfaced…
Here’s the setlist which will be updated as the show progresses…
