Springsteen set list, 5/2, BankAtlantic Center, Sunrise

Update 5/5: I missed a song, Kitty's Back which he played as I was backing out the door during American Land.

Review posted here. Also, note the remarks about poor sound in the comments section. These follow scathing criticism of the mix when Van Halen played the same building in February. But then, sound was an issue at several stops on the Van Halen tour, whereas I can't remember ever hearing a complaint before now about audio at a Springsteen show.

BankAtlantic Center, like all its arena brethren (Staples Center, AmericanAirlines Arena, etc.), poses a challenge to any visiting sound crew. It's difficult at best to wire up a large, mix-used facility whose primary tenant is a sports team. But I've generally found the acoustics there to be acceptable. Maybe there were bad pockets in last night's mix? For what it's worth, I was sitting in section 120, a few rows off the floor, closest to Clarence Clemons and Nils Lofgren, and from there the sound was pretty true.
