Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band played San Francisco’s Chase Center (night 1 pics, video, setlist)

Bruce Springsteen postponed some of his 2023 tour dates with The E Street Band while he recovered from peptic ulcer disease, but he’s officially back out on the road playing the rescheduled dates. Two nights into the run he flew from the West Coast to NYC to join Zach Bryan in Brooklyn on Wednesday (3/27), and then he returned to California for the first of two shows at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Thursday night (3/28). In their review, Mercury News writes:

Springsteen’s voice was on point throughout the night, showing no signs of the medical condition that originally forced him to postpone these Chase shows — which were originally scheduled for last December — as well as other dates. The star did bring up the subject about 80 minutes into the show, which was first time he paused to really talk to the crowd all evening. “My belly hurt so bad, I couldn’t sing,” explained Springsteen, who underwent treatment for peptic ulcer disease. “Every time I went to sing, my belly ached. When I went to do anything, my belly ached. Then it ached some more. So, we couldn’t make it. But I’m glad to be back tonight.”

Thursday night’s setlist, which you can see below, included the tour debuts of “Something in the Night,” “Atlantic City,” and “Land of Hope and Dreams,” along with plenty of classic favorites.
