Unlike Saturday's show in Bologna which featured a standard set list, things started to shake up in Milan last night. Bruce played "Rendezvous" for the first time since Barcelona and premiered "Where the Bands Are". Apart from that he did "Jungleland" for the first time since the Amnesty tour in 1988.

The show in Cologne, Germany, had three tour premieres in the set set lis, but nothing that will excite the average fan. All three songs have been performed extensively on earlier tours. "Brilliant Disguise" appeared midways, "Working on the Highway" popped up by the end of the main set while "Hungry Heart" was the second encore. This one was a duet with German singer Wolfgang Niedecken who Bruce has performed with once before: in 1995 for the "Hungry Heart" video shoot in Berlin. Read more

The set list from last night's show went as follows: My Love Will Not Let You Down Prove It All Night Two Hearts Darkness on the Edge of Town Mansion on the Hill The River Youngstown Murder Inc. Badlands Out in the Street Tenth Avenue Freeze-out Tougher Than the Rest Lucky Town Spirit in the Night The Ghost of Tom Joad The Promised Land She's the One Backstreets Light of Day Streets of Philadelphia Bobby Jean Born to Run Thunder Road If I Should Fall Behind Land of Hope and Dreams Those of us who thought this was going to be a tour to promote Tracks, well, we'd better think again. Only one song was played from the box set and that was the very first. Apart from that almost all the songs were old stables, but that hardly mattered for the ecstatic crowd. And no doubt the set list will change over the course of the tour, and songs from Tracks will probably be incorporated in the set as they go along. The show lasted a little over two and a half hour and did not have an intermission. The question is if Bruce can keep this up. His shows usually get longer and longer. Read more
