Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their first tour in six years with a mammoth 28-song set in Tampa, Florida on February 1.
Opening with “No Surrender”, Springsteen and the band ran through some of their greatest hits alongside newer material from their 2020 album Letter To You over the course of almost three hours.
The set included a seven-song encore where they wheeled out tracks including “Born To Run”, “Rosalita”, “Dancing In The Dark” and “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” before Springsteen gave an acoustic solo performance of “I’ll See You In My Dreams”.
You can check out fan-filmed footage of the gig as well as the full setlist below.
