Bruce Springsteen fans have been counting down the days until “The Boss” finally hits town.
And it’s been quite a wait — a much longer one than originally expected — given that the 74-year-old New Jersey native had to push back his two Bay Area dates, which were originally scheduled for last December, to continue treatment for his peptic ulcer disease.
Fortunately, those two rescheduled dates are now upon on — with The Boss and his mighty E Street Band set to rock Chase Center in San Francisco on March 28 and 31. The shows are mostly sold out, but there were plenty of resale ducats available the last time we checked on ticketmaster.com.
We can testify that — without a shadow of a doubt — Springsteen is still well worth the money. We had the chance to see this current tour a couple of times in early 2023, during shows in Portland and Seattle, and were overjoyed with the energetic and engaging performances. The Boss definitely still ranks as one of the best front men in rock ‘n’ roll history and the E Street Band may well be the genre’s greatest backing band.
Although the setlists vary somewhat from night to night, fans can count on hearing a goodly assortment of classics — such as “Badlands,” “Thunder Road” and, of course, “Born to Run” — as well as newer material. Both San Francisco shows should be nothing short of epic.
