The moment showed the power and charm of the 68-year-old rocker. It also reminded that the show - a soldout sensation before a note was sung or word was spoken - is not a just a concert in a Broadway theater. Threaded with 15 songs and stories pulled from his year-old memoir, 'Born to Run,' the Broadway debut of New Jersey's finest is a tightly scripted chronological narrative tracing his life.

Despite the relative lack of spontaneity (except when the crowd began clapping along on 'Dancing in the Dark' and he said with a smile, 'I'll handle it myself, thanks!'), the show is not a glorified audiobook. Springsteen's everyman persona can obscure his deep intelligence and formidable talent as a wordsmith: He has a novelist's eye for detail ('My mom's high heels would echo down the linoleum hallway'; 'My dad's favorite bar smelled of beer, perspiration and after-shave') and a master politician's gift for flow, impact, rhythm and the ability to speak intimately to many. The show is loaded with great lines and we'll spoil just a few of them: 'I come from a boardwalk town where everything is tinged with a bit of fraud - including me'; 'Those whose love we wanted but couldn't get, we emulate'; 'I have never held an honest job in my entire life.'
