Bruce Springsteen setlist: What songs did he play with E Street Band
Look who dropped into MetLife Stadium on a summer night.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the tour debut of “Sherry Darling” at their Wednesday, Aug. 30 show at the East Rutherford venue, their first of three shows. The song took the place of “Candy's Room” on Wednesday's setlist.
“Here's a little summer beach music for you!” said Springsteen before the song's countdown.
Springsteen even performed a wavy hula dance to Steven Van Zandt's twangy guitar solo on the song. “Lonesome Day” and “Night” started the night off with a twist, followed by the usual show opener “No Surrender” in the third slot.
