Bruce Springsteen begrüsste die 23.000 Zuschauer im Palace zu Auburn Hills, MI mit den Worten „Hello Ohio“. Auch bei „Working on a Dream“ passierte ihm der Fauxpas. Wenig später wurde er von E Street Band Gitarrist aufgeklärt, dass Auburn Hills nicht in Ohio, sondern im Staate Michigan liegt. Der ‚Boss‘ entschuldigte sich und stellte klar, dass er auf diesen „Alptraum“ 40 Jahre gewartet habe.

Die Presse schreibt:

The challenge was there for Bruce Springsteen in Cleveland on Tuesday night. How do you possibly follow up the two legendary shows at Madison Square Garden over the weekend?
You put on another damn good show, with a damn good crowd, and once again Cleveland rocks! I took a road trip out here to see the show and to see the Springsteen exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Overall a fine night of Bruce and the E Street Band with some great request songs and he played an Elvis song again in the encores. A sold-out crowd that was just about on its feet for the entire night. A wow night … weiterlesen
