Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band...

...at Olympiastadion, Helsinki.

We left home by car before noon, parked near the end of one tram line, had a real life meeting with an online friend in a restaurant nearby and went to the stadium over two hours in advance as was recommended. A long wait, particularly with front field tickets, as you have to take your spot early to get a good one.

The concert started at 8 pm as scheduled. During the three hours the band played 32 songs with some rarities played along with the regular set list. Excellent show, with Bruce and the band proving why they are considered the best live band by so many. The weather played it's part well, with clouds in the beginning and nearly clear sky at the end, with the temperature still at 11 pm near +20°C.

On the way back to the parking the tram was packed, but we fit in and started the journey home at midnight.
