Working On A Dream Come True

Last week, the Boss played Born To Run in its entirely during the E-Street Band's Chicago United Center performance. People have since been raving all over the interwebs about how epic it was to hear rarities "Meeting Across The River" and "Night" being peformed alongside such live staples as "Thunder Road" and the title-track/anthem of NJ. There's was no way he was going to do this in JUST in Illinois, right? Show some love, Boss!

Well, when people ask, Springsteen makes sure they receive! And as many hoped, the dream came true this afternoon. Looks like Springsteen is closing Giants Stadium out with a bigger bang than expected. Today it was confirmed that not only will Bruce be playing BTR, but he will be mixing in Darkness on the Edge of Town AND Born In The USA during the five night stand. Fortunately for fans, there is no guesswork involved.

Here's the schedule:

Sept. 30 – E. Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium – Born to Run
Oct. 2 – E. Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium – Darkness on the Edge of Town
Oct. 3 – E. Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium – Born in the U.S.A.
Oct. 8 – E. Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium – Born to Run
Oct. 9 – E. Rutherford, NJ @ Giants Stadium – Born in the U.S.A.

Eat your heart out, Bono.
