Bruce Springsteen Kicks Off Summer Tour Dates

(hennemusic) Bruce Springsteen resumed his U.S .dates on The River Tour at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on August 23rd and several videos for the show have surfaced online.

The 9-show, 3-week run is in support of last December's release of "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection", a 7-disc collection of material from the sessions for 1980's double album "The River."

The 35-song set ran close to four hours in length, reports Billboard, and the singer was joined by a string section for the night's opener, "New York City Serenade", from 1974's "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle."

Springsteen played three songs by request from signs in the crowed, including a rare summer performance of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." The night ended with a cover of Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl." Watch the videos here.
