The streets were electric, American flags were spotted in pub windows, and you could just feel the anticipation for what was set to be an epic night at one of Europe\u2019s largest stadiums.<\/p>\n<p>And let me tell you, at 74 years young , Bruce was a human dynamo! Forget slowing down; this man was pure energy, especially after a previous tour postponement due to illness. We heard whispers from fans about him being \u201cshirt soaked in sweat\u201d and \u201coutperforming rock stars half his age,\u201d and honestly, after a performance lasting nearly THREE hours with 29 songs, we believe it! He blasted through classics, and the energy was just off the charts, truly \u201ccourting band and crowd alike\u201d.
