“Wrecking Ball” y “Seeds” , un comienzo atronador que dio paso a su réplica contraria con las maravillosas “Trapped” y “Something In The Night“.  De nuevo un baño de masas en “Hungry Heart” y “Working on a Dream” (con Bruce bromeando con el publico dejando claro que estaba vez si sabia que estaba en Nashvile y en Tennesse)  como previa al album completo “Born To Run”.

Thunder Road:

El concierto prosiguió con la habitual “Waiting On A Sunny Day” previa a las peticiones de carteles: “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” con multitud de gorros de santa, “Two Hearts” y “Darlington County” , muy bien acogida entre el público local y con Stevie diciendo a Bruce “Tio, te queda muy bien” un sombrero vaquero que Bruce se puso para la ocasion. Rescatada de “the river” vino “You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)” con un gran dueto Bruce-Steve que recordó los increibles momentos del concierto del Madison.

Después de “Lonesome Day” y “The Rising” vino una atronadora “Badlands” para cerrar la primera parte del show.

Los bises comenzaron con una nueva sorpresa, nada mas y nada menos que “Ring of Fire” del aclamado heroe local Johnny Cash, uno de los iconos de la musica country con su banda los Tennessee Three. “Nunca hemos tocado esto antes” , “Gracias Johny”, dijo Bruce.

“No Surrender” y “Bobby Jean” (en lugar de la prevista “Seven Nights To Rock”) dieron paso al cierre del concierto con “American Land“, “Dancing In The Dark“, “Rosalita” y “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher“. Otra gran noche de rock. Baltimore y Buffalo esperan …

Letra “Thunder Road”

The screen door slams
Mary’s dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that’s me and I want you only
Don’t turn me home again
I just can’t face myself alone again
Don’t run back inside
darling you know just what I’m here for
So you’re scared and you’re thinking
That maybe we ain’t that young anymore
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night
You ain’t a beauty, but hey you’re alright
Oh and that’s alright with me

You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I’m no hero
That’s understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night’s busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven’s waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it’s late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car’s out back
If you’re ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door’s open but the ride it ain’t free
And I know you’re lonely
For words that I ain’t spoken
But tonight we’ll be free
All the promises’ll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they’re gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It’s a town full of losers
And I’m pulling out of here to win

Recorrer las ya cientos de canciones del BOSS (apodo que no le gusta demasiado) nos llevara tiempo, pero no tenemos prisa, esta es una más pero es “mi especial canción” para vosotros ¡disfrutarla! Buscar videos y saborear las montones de versiones que encontrareis.
