Folkie "Dancing in the Dark" premieres in Cincinna
Published 2000-05-01
A very loose and upbeat show in Cincinnati saw the tour premiere of "Dancing in the Dark". But it wasn't the well-known pop version of yore, but a new folk arrangement complete with steel guitar and upright bass. Other highlights included "Stand On It" and a quite different vocal style on "Born in the USA", which also included the line "25 years burning down the road" to mark the 25th anniversary of the retreat from Saigon). On a different note, during "Tenth Avenue" someone threw a bra onstage that landed on Bruce's head. The expression on his face must have been worth the price of admission. See the complete setlist.
