Bruce Springsteen rolled back into action in Spain last night (June 12) after being forced to postpone some dates on his current European tour.
The boss thanked fans last week for partying without him after he had to return home under doctor’s orders. But he appeared to be in fine health as he delivered a 30-song set at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, with assistance from the E Street Band.
Among those songs was “Frankie Fell In Love” from 2014 solo album High Hopes. It’s a track he’s only played 10 times live in total. Only five of those times was with the E Street Band, with those performances all in the year of the song’s release.
