He was just incredible and while bands like BrandNew, Blur, Bloc Party & Ting Tings were great. You just can't beat the boss.

This is how it works, You're young until you're not
You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath

What was his setlist?

I hear he's done a great live rendition of "The Wrestler" on a number of dates on his "Working on a Dream" tour.

"The Ghost of Tom Joad" is one of my favourite songs of all time.

What was his setlist?


Man he missed out some classics and yet the set was still so entertaining. He Played for over 2 hours:

'London Calling'
'Badlands'
'Night'
'She's The One'
'Outlaw Pete'
'Out In The Street'
'Working On A Dream'
'Seeds'
'Johnny 99'
'Youngstown'
'Good Lovin''
'Bobby Jean'
'Trapped'
'No Surrender'
'Waiting On A Sunny Day'
'Promised Land'
'Racing In The Street'
'Radio Nowhere'
'Lonesome Day'
'The Rising'
'Born To Run'
'Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)'
'Hard Times'
'Jungleland'
'American Land'
'Glory Days'
'Dancing In The Dark'


I mean he left out Atlantic City, Streets Of Philly, Born In the USA & My Hometown among others but the set seemed to be over so quick. "Born To Run" is as good a live track as there is.
This is how it works, You're young until you're not
You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath

I made this music video for college about a month back, and used "The Ghost of Tom Joad" as the soundtrack.

Suggs has criticised Bruce Springsteen for not playing enough "hits" during his headline set at Glastonbury.

The Madness frontman claimed that the American rock icon disappointed him with his choice of setlist, despite the show lasting nearly three hours.

"I do love Bruce, well I like him," the singer told Teletext. "But I do love his hits. And at Glastonbury - no hits for one hour 40 minutes.

"I dragged my nephew to see him and he asked: 'If he's The Boss, then who are his secretaries?' I believe in giving people what they want."

Springsteen's performance included renditions of 'Badlands', 'Born To Run', 'Thunder Road' and 'Dancing In The Dark'.

Madness played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on the Sunday afternoon.
