Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Jobing.com Arena, 12/06/12

December 7, 2012 4:00AM

Who is Bruce Springsteen anyway?

The street rat poet singing about characters straight out of West Side Story? The balladeer casting American youth in B movie glory, Roy Orbison grandeur, and fleets of fast cars? The protest singer, spitting bile at corrupt bankers and politicians? The soul brother, swinging his hips and taking the crowd to church?

Bruce Springsteen, standing in front of the mighty E Street Band, spent time in all of these poses last night as they finished up the Wrecking Ball tour at Jobing.com Arena, reminding the roaring crowd with each song, each shimmy, each sweaty line, that he's one of the greatest living performers and songwriters in America. Read the full review of Bruce Springsteen at Jobing.com arena by Jason P. Woodbury.
