Greetings from Bruce

So far on the final leg of the “Working on a Dream” jaunt, Bruce Springsteen &theEStreetBandhave performed all but one of its seminal studio albums, through 1984’s “Born In the USA,” in their entirety. Sunday’s tour finale show inside HSBC Arena will fill in the one missing puzzle piece, as it has been announced that Bruce and Co. will go right back to where it all began with Springsteen’s debut effort, “Greetings From Asbury Park, N. J.” performed from front to back.
In case you don’t eat, sleep and breathe Springsteen, that means the show will be opening with “Blinded by the Light,” and will include the party pieces “Spirit in the Night” and “Growin’Up,” as well as lesser-performed nuggets like “Mary Queen of Arkansas” and “The Angel.” What a way to go out.
Of course, “Greetings,” being a product of its early-1970s era, is a relatively short album, and as every sentient being is aware, Springsteen&EStreet play a long, long time every show. Doubtless, the master of ceremonies has plenty of surprises up his sleeve for this show. Hey Bruce—how about “Streets of Fire?”
Remaining tickets for the concert, which starts at 7:30 p. m. Sunday, are available through Tickets.com ($31.50 to $97.50).Look for a feature piece on Springsteen and the band in Sunday’s Spotlight section of The Buffalo News. —Jeff Miers
