Prove it All Night

Conquering hero Bruce Springsteen, along with that guy from the Sopranos and the rest of the E Street Band, returned to the Erwin Center Sunday night for a set that started strong with a fierce reading of Edwin Starr's "War" and stayed that way for a good two and a half hours. In a fast-forming tradition, Joe Ely joined the Boss for an earth-shaking encore of Ely's "All Just to Get to You." Given the Flatlander's history and Springsteen's recent Grammy tribute, maybe next time they could switch to the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go."
