It's interesting to consider which songs get lots of encore play time and which don't (the song Born to Run being almost entirely absent from encores)... Take a look at which albums had the most play time in encores, and you'll notice that one huge glaring omission!
| Born in the USA | 127 |
| Cover | 123 |
| Born to Run | 61 |
| The Wild, the Innocent, and the E. Street Shuffle | 48 |
| The River | 8 |
| The Rising | 4 |
| Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ | 4 |
| Tracks | 2 |
| Magic | 2 |
| Working on a Dream | 1 |
Really? No Darkness in the encore? Also why so much love for Born in the USA? I guess Dancing in the Dark and Glory Days get people pumped up, but what could be a more climactic way to rock out an encore than Jungleland or Thunder Road?

ReplyDeleteWhatever, no Rosalita at the end of the Meadowlands concert = sad times for Laurie!
