You Review It: Bruce Springsteen At Fenway Park (Night 2)

Filed under

Bruce Springsteen’s 2-night residency at Fenway Park concluded last night in epic fashion despite the rain that poured down over Boston.

The marathon concert lasted over 3.5 hours and went way past curfew, nothing out of the ordinary for The Boss. Reviews are finding their way onto the internet and it seems like everyone is in agreement. Bloggers and critics are describing Round II at Fenway as magical, a classic, and in baseball terms a “sweep.”

Fans on Twitter have also chimed in and there seems to be one common thread among the concertgoers: Memorable…which is more than the Red Sox can say this year at Fenway!

Not sure if I'm having a religious experience or Springsteen is THAT good #bruceboston

Three-and-a-half hour show last night at Fenway, very '78 vibe, very loose, took lots of requests. A good one. #bruceboston
