In the first of his two concerts in Barcelona in Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band came forward last Friday. They started playing a few minutes before nine at night, the scheduled time, to the enthusiasm of the fans. And this Sunday, in his second performance, the Boss has done exactly the same. A couple of minutes before nine he re-occupied the stage saying: “Hello! Barcelona, esteem us, Catalonia!”
To the Bruce Springsteen fans whom the rain caught them unawares at the gates of the Olympic Stadium on the way to their appointment with their idol they soon forgot to get wet. The Boss’s second concert was to open the doors to the public at 6:00 p.m. so that the 60,000 expected spectators would begin to take their place in plenty of time before the American rocker’s performance.

Shortly before six o’clock in the afternoon, the scheduled time for the opening of the doors, those who had priority entrance entered the premises.
However, the rest of early bird viewers who had been waiting in line for a long time could not enter until 6:30 p.m., half an hour later than expected, and they were left at the mercy of a intense downpour that left many soaked. The most farsighted were saved thanks to umbrellas and raincoats of all kinds. Complaints about the delay in opening the doors were notorious from those affected who booed the security personnel, according to Barcelona TV.
