So the thing about audiences in Dublin, apparently — the folks up front actually watch the show with their eyes, not their phones! So apologies if some of these videos are from a distance. (Fortunately Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have some of the nicest screens around.) The one exception is an amazingly up-close "Nightshift" from Tuesday night — if only they'd flipped the camera sideways! But we'll take it.
So by all accounts Springsteen finished out his Dublin stand with two more legendary shows (although the setlisted "Racing in the Street" and "Jungleland" failed to materialize Tuesday.) Only one tour debut over the last two nights, but it was a welcome surprise: "Something in the Night" on night 3.
Check out the video highlights below, and here's some of what the local press had to say:
