In the summer before classes
started this fall at school, Penn State announced that Bruce Spring, “the
boss”, was going to heading through State College for his “Wrecking Ball
Tour”. When I found out the news, I was
beyond excited and made sure that I got my tickets as quickly as could,
completely disregarding the high price for them. I have been a huge Bruce Springsteen fan my
entire life. I first introduced to him,
when my dad would constantly play his songs, while telling me how talented and
special Bruce really is. As the school
year started in the fall, I began to count down the days till the concert.
When the day finally came, I could
not control my excitement as I walked into the massive Bryce Jordan
Center. The place was completely sold
out and everyone seemed just as excited as me to see him live. The atmosphere was absolutely electrifying,
with constant chants of “Bruce! Bruce!”,
echoing throughout the venue. Unlike
many other concerts, Bruce did not have an opening band for him. When Bruce finally walked out on the stage
with his guitar wrapped around him, the crowd went absolutely crazy.
Throughout the entirety of the
concert, I was on my feet, singing, dancing, screaming and having a great
time. The rest of crowd was just as
involved as me, singing and dancing their hearts out. At 62 years old, Bruce Springsteen is out of
his prime in singing and performing, but he did not let down at all. Many people say that Bruce is one of the best
live performers in the history of music, and I cannot help but agree with
that. He was constantly engaged with the
crowd throughout the entirety of the concert.
He would pull people onto stage, share the microphone with fans and
truly put his heart into the performance.
He played a bunch of his classic songs along with some of his new ones
from his more recent albums. The concert
lasted close to 4 hours long. Anyone who
has the opportunity to Bruce Springsteen live should definitely do it. He is truly an amazing performer that can
grasp the feeling and emotions of the crowd, regardless if the people are big
fans of his or not.
