Bruce Springsteen adds shows, shuffles Nashville gig

Hot on the heels of nailing his first AARP magazine cover, Bruce Springsteen has made a few changes to his fall tour itinerary, which includes another sweep into the Northeast in time for a Thanksgiving break.

The new shows, in Baltimore and Buffalo, will follow a rescheduled Nashville show, which was moved from its original Sept. 10 slot to Nov. 18 and christened a "Born To Run" show, wherein Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform the classic album in its entirety, along with his more traditional setlist. A new date in Des Moines, IA, has been slipped into late September, as well. Details are shown below.

Springsteen will also be giving Chicago the "Born To Run" treatment at the Sept. 20 show in that city.

The band wrapped its European tour in Spain a week ago, and, as has been the case on previous Springsteen tours, a number of rarities like the '99 reunion-tour staple "My Love Will Not Let You Down" and the "Born In The USA"-era b-sides "Janey Don't You Lose Heart" and "Be True" found their way back into setlist rotation on that run, priming the pump for some surprises on the US victory lap.

In the middle of the final US leg, Springsteen will take part in an all-star show at Madison Square Garden celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Springsteen will take the stage on the first night of the two-night affair with Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Friends, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder. The second night will feature Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Metallica and U2.
