At least three different news sources are reporting that Bruce's show in Chicago on September 20 will see Bruce play the Born to Run album in its entirety. No official announcement has been made about this, so it may turn out to be a hoax, but at this point in Bruce's career, nothing really comes as a surprise anymore. He's doing lots of things that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. And of course, he already did perform the entire Born to Run album (and Darkness album) at a benefit in 2008 so this wouldn't exactly be a first. One can only wonder, why Chicago? Or who knows, maybe this will actually be done in several places and Chicago just happened to have the beans spilled first.

If true, doing a Born to Run show puts yet another nail in the Working on a Dream Tour coffin. Whatever theme the tour had is quickly going out the window, and as the European tour wraps up in Spain this week, only two Working on a Dream songs remain in the set at most shows ("Outlaw Pete" and the title track), just as the "recession three-pack" is down to just one song: "Johnny 99". Instead, Bruce and the band seem to be playing whatever springs to their mind with several tour premieres entering the setlist every night.

Tickets for the Chicago show go on sale this Saturday. With the Born to Run rumors this could be one that hardcore fans will want to plan a pilgrimage to.
