During the 2007 tour, Bruce Springsteen's wife, and E Street Band member, Patti Scialfa told us the band was in a very good place on the road: “It feels very joyous. It's just a very joyous tour. Even though the songs are complicated, it's celebratory. Bruce's sets always take you through a lot of different questions. And he's not there to answer them, but it's nice to start that conversation with your audience. And then to have some kind of wrapped up resolution which just leaves you with some belief and a very positive feeling.”
