Bruce Springsteen sets new solo-acoustic shows
Bruce Springsteen wrapped up the second leg of his North American solo tour about two weeks ago, but the rocker will be back for more this fall.
The just-confirmed itinerary shows Springsteen visiting 17 U.S. cities throughout the Midwest and East during October and November. Ticket on-sale information wasn't immediately announced.
The new dates mark Springsteen's third leg of solo-acoustic shows this year. He's touring solo for the first time since the 1995-96 "The Ghost of Tom Joad" tour to back his latest release, the acoustic-oriented "Devils & Dust," which debuted atop The Billboard 200 album chart earlier this year.
"We're coming back to some of our favorite cities to make sure the fans get a chance to see how this tour has evolved over the course of the last 50 shows," Springsteen's manager Jon Landau said in a press release. "Bruce just keeps stretching the boundaries of his performance night after night, and the result has been some of the very best concerts of his entire career."
Springsteen has played 115 different songs, spanning his entire career, over the course of his 2005 tour, according to his publicist. Among those songs were several he's rarely performed in concert, including "Open All Night" and "Used Cars," played live for the first time in nine years, and "Sad Eyes" and "Iceman," two songs that he'd never before performed in concert.
As previously reported, Springsteen will drop on Sept. 6 an expanded and re-edited DVD version of his "VH1 Storytellers" concert, which was taped April 4 in Red Bank, NJ.
