“Rome! Rome! Rome!”. This is how Bruce Springsteen greeted his “people” in front of a packed Circus Maximus who didn’t let themselves be discouraged by the risk of a leaden and menacing sky that held their breath all day long. Sixty thousand fans who have been waiting for this evening for a year and have not given up: the Boss welcomes them at 7.30 pm sharp with ‘My love will not let you down’ and, then, “Death To My Hometown”, “No Surrender”, “Ghost “, “All night rehearsals”. Bruce changes the Ferrarese lineup, gives “Darkness of The Edge of Town” and, then, the splendid ballad “Letter to you”.
People want to sing, to dance, to exorcise the facts that have been troubling the country for days. Mobile phones turned on in unison create a powerful scenographic effect. the Circus Maximus is so full as to initially create some minor discomfort for the assistance in restoring some order, but then everything proceeds perfectly without problems. The concert continues in crescendo, with “Because The Night” the Circus Maximus explodes.
Parterre de roi for Bruce Springsteen at the Circus Maximus. Among the international guests who flocked to hear the Boss Sting, Chris Rock, Lars Ulrich of Metallica, Nick Mason, Nick Cave and Woody Harrelson. Among the audience there were also many Italian ‘VIPs’: Thomas of Maneskin, Edoardo Leo, Luca Marinelli, Giuseppe Battistini, Aiomone Romizzi of Fask, Carlo Calenda and Eleonora Daniele.
