The Boss Plays, Performs 'Atlantic City'
The Boss finally played Atlantic City - the city and the song.
Bruce Springsteen, whose bleak ballad of redemption "Atlantic City" was released in 1982, had never headlined here before Friday, when he played to a sell-out crowd of about 12,500 at Boardwalk Hall.
Taking the stage to the strains of "There She Is, Miss America," Springsteen and his eight-member band wasted no time in giving the crowd what it came to hear, playing "Atlantic City."
The show was filled with New Jersey references. Springsteen recounted the first time he visited Atlantic City as a child, when his mother took him to see Chubby Checker perform.
Springsteen, 52, a native of Freehold, has only appeared in Atlantic City once before. In 1989, he jumped on stage at the end of a Jackson Browne concert, joining Browne for the last part of "Running on Empty" and singing "Born to Run" with him.

Who da boss in the kitchen?
Who da boss in the office?
Who da boss in bed?
Who da boss of my head?
IT AIN'T BRUCE!
It seems he needs a cause to sing.
A cause meaning, if a steel mill closes down, he'l sing about it.
I mean he's not bad, but he ain't the boss.
Nor is Elvis the King. |
