ICELAND, ICELAND BABY
More details on Springsteen's European tour "encore" at an airport in Iceland [see The Return of Legends of Springsteen, below]... According to the Associated Press, Keflavik International Airport employee Federick Johnson confirmed that the 2 a.m.performance was not a hallucination: "It happened," Johnson said, "He just came in and did some songs." While the initial report mentioned "The River," the AP reports six songs played on acoustic: "Dancing in the Dark," "Bobby Jean," "This Hard Land," "Working on the Highway," "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" and "I'm on Fire."

THE RETURN OF LEGENDS OF SPRINGSTEEN
This Time, It's Terminal.
A last-minute addition to the European tour: Iceland's Keflavik Airport. On his way from Germany back to the U.S. late Tuesday night, after the Berlin show, Springsteen's plane stopped over in Iceland.... and Bruce apparently had one more encore left in him.

According to the Iceland Review, some late-shift workers at the airport were treated to a six-song set: "The employees commented that Springsteen showed no pretense and was very down-to-earth, chatting away with them. His friend asked the airport employees if they would like to listen to a few tunes. Springsteen then played six songs including 'The River.' After the impromptu concert he asked what typical Icelandic food consisted of -- the fans were quick to answer 'Black Death and Shark.'"

I've had Black Death, it is dreadful....
But Iceland is a WICKED PISSA place!

Let's see the Stones pull out some of this karma coming this summa........
