Even if you’re The Boss, seemingly always on the road, and doling out epic shows with at least two dozen songs per gig, there are going to be some gems in your catalogue you might not get to when you have 21 albums.
This problem is compounded when you’re Bruce Springsteen, who at this stage of his career is unofficially required to play a dozen of his greatest hits each night like “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “The Promised Land,” and “Dancing in the Dark.”
Thus there’s only about 12 slots left in the setlist for new bangers, covers, audience requests, and songs that just perfectly fit the current tour.
Therefore classics from relatively quiet, tender, acoustic Nebraska, the 1982 secret masterpiece, might have a hard time getting placed in the set.
