Fans who saw Bruce Springsteen at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota agree. He’s Still The Boss. It was the sixth time for Bruce to play the venue, one of the leading arena stages in the Midwest. Although fans turn out any time the beloved Rock and Roll Hall of Famer plays live, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are currently on tour supporting Magic, the 2007 Grammy award winning album that critics hailed as a return to form by the New Jersey troubadour and his famous backing band.
