As it was more or less expected the second show at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park didn't vary much from the first night. Only notable changes included "Wild Billy's Circus Story" as the show opener (featuring Garry Tallent on tuba) and "The E Street Shuffle". The former replaced the George Harrison songs and was last performed in December 1996 during the solo acoustic tour whereas "E Street Shuffle" was a repeat from last year's Holiday shows. While most reactions to the shows have been very positive, we've also heard a few complaints that there's "not enough Bruce" and that the security people looking for cameras in the crowd during the shows are coming off as being unnecessarily rough shoving innocent people aside in their attempt to grab the culprits. While we don't know if we're talking about isolated incidents or a general tendency, it is quite disturbing and not something we're used to hearing reports about in connection with Springsteen shows. Complete setlist.
