On September sixteenth twenty sixteen I saw the greatest concert in my life. Bruce Springsteen and the legendry E Street band at Citizens bank park. Bruce came out at eight thirty sharp and started off with NYC Serenade, a song off his second album.From there Bruce and the band kicked it up a third gear playing half of Greeting of Asbury Park and the wild the innocent and the E street Shuffle. After ten songs form those albums, he then pulled a sign out from the crowed called the Fever, which is a song that I just discovered that summer.
From there Bruce played one of my dad’s favorite No surrender. I immediately grabbed my dad and started to hug him and jump on him like a two-year-old. We ended up singing side by side like we were on stage together. Bruce played another fourteen songs ending with Badlands one of his concert staples. At the end of the song even when the band stop playing the crowd kept carrying the tune which was something I will never forget. After that Bruce started the encore, which started with Streets of Philadelphia a tour debut, but I was more excited about what song came next. At the end of Streets of Philadelphia, I saw Soozie Tyrel, Bruce’s violinist pick up her violin and play the opening line to Jungle land. A nine-minute ballad about the Magic Rat, and his night out on the town. If you’ve ever seen a Bruce show or are a fan of his music, this is the song you want to here live. I lost my voice during Junglenad from screaming so loud and hard. After that they played Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark, Tenth Avenue Freeze out, Shout, and Bobby Jean. During Shout Bruce was saying “Did we break the record?” The record being for his longest show in United States history and yes, he did. Bruce Played for four hours and four minutes, and I stood for all of it. The show started at eight thirty and ended at one thirty in the morning, it was the greatest night of my life. I’m glad I was able to experience with my dad, and this is why this event is so special to me.

Thanks for sharing this post. I wonder how it might change the meaning if the post provided an introduction (with a link to the reading) to contextualize the narrative scene?
