"Thank you #Australia #Perth that felt real good. We are the new #Resistance @springsteen #estreetband"
Just got home from the show. Very solid opener and Blood Brothers absolute highlight for me. A song I never thought I'd see performed live and very moving under the circumstances. It even made the beer-swilling chatterers across the aisle from me shut up for once in the evening. Other great moments LOHAD, Lost in the Flood (a first for me) into Kitty, Incident and NYCS. No Sunny Day and seemed to be very few signs. Only quibble - I was hoping we'd see more of the strings.
The E Street Band - the new resistance movement!
PK56,
Glad you got some rarities and had a great show. I like the new signature.

Well it's definitely not the River tour anymore!
Setlist looks like a mix between the EU summer tour and the US post summer tour: few river songs, lots of oldies and a duration of 3,25 hours
The wonderment of the internet! Had this been the BIUSA tour it would have been weeks until we got the final setlist. And videoes uploaded just hours after the concert is over! Amazing! Thank you so much to the reporters and uploaders down under. So great to follow a Bruce Springsteen tour online again, the world is indeed a better place with Bruce around. NYCS is just audio magic every time I listen to it.

That might explain why there was a seeming lack of signs. A great gesture and beautifully moving result.
That was a beautiful gesture on the part of those fans. Great to see, thanks.

Impressed overall and so nice to be back in a smaller venue after my last show at Wembley. I was almost on the back row but good view and sound seemed generally ok. For an area gave quite an intimate feel, certainly compared to somewhere like the O2 in London. If I had realised how small the GA area was I might have gone for it. A very striking building on the outside although some of the surrounding area is presently a bit of a building site. I'm in different areas for the next two shows so will see if it's any different experience
