Springsteen Magic Tour 05/22/08 Dublin: Ireland Goes To “The Promised Land”
They started in “The Promised Land,” but the set list got real ordinary real quick. For those of you who’ve missed my daily chronicles of the Springsteen Magic tour, fear not! We have returned because Bruce & Co. have returned. Yesterday’s show drew on two Springsteen albums I don’t entirely love: Born in The U.S.A. and The Rising.
The best part about the Dublin show is the return of the rocking “Reason to Believe.” I’d pay good money to hear that one song one more time. That’s the best thing he’s doing on this tour, I’m convinced of it. Damn did that ever smoke! Here’s the full set list:

I just wanted to let you know about a new Ireland-focused Springsteen project.
A book called ‘Springsteen in Ireland’ will track Bruce’s connections, gigs and haunts in Ireland over the last 25 years.
We are also looking for fans’ stories, memories and pictures.
Please drop us an email if you are interested in contributing something and pass this message on if you can!
All the best
