TAMPA, Fla. — Anyone who thought Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band might settle gently into aging got an answer Wednesday night when their first song exploded in Amalie Arena: “No Surrender.”
It brought a thunderous crowd to their feet and mostly kept them there for a hard-charging performance that lasted, in classic Springsteen style, for just under three hours, no breaks.
What with the pandemic and Springsteen’s solo show on Broadway, this is the first time he and the E Street Band have toured in six years. They sounded like they’d never stopped.
