The setlist was packed with early favorites from his catalog that hadn\u2019t been played on tour until that point, including \u201cRosalita (Come out Tonight),\u201d \u201cWild Billy\u2019s Circus Story\u201d and \u201c4th of July, Asbury Park.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was about 18 and I first started to come out to Asbury Park in 1968,\u201d he told the crowd before playing the latter song. \u201cAsbury was always a little more open than most of the towns that sort of surrounded it. [For the] many musicians who gathered here, it was our little taste of the city, a place where you could kind of come out and find yourself\u2026I really found friendships here that lasted me my whole life. I met my wife here in a bar and I got a chance to see my kids running around the theater tonight, so that sort of brings it all \u2019round a full circle. I\u2019m glad to be able to come back to town and to be able to play here in this theater. It\u2019s a treat for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show also included a rare performance of the <em>Born in the U.S.A.<\/em> B-side \u201cShut out the Light,\u201d which you can hear right here. Up until a gig in Akron, Ohio, two months earlier, he hadn\u2019t played it live since 1985.<\/p>\n<p>Springsteen has a couple of New York charity shows (Stand up for Heroes, The Concert for the Rainforest Fund) on his schedule right now. He hasn\u2019t announced specific plans for next year, but he\u2019s said several times he hopes to release a new album with the E Street Band and tour behind it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bruce-springsteen-asbury-park-1996-907639\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fan recordings of Bruce Springsteen\u2019s emotional Asbury Park show have been circling in the years since the Boss hit the stage on November 24th, 1996 for the start of a three-night stand.
