As the Wrecking Ball Tour rolls along, Bruce Springsteen continues to treat the audience to some gems each show.
Friday night, at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y., Bruce and the E Street Band played three tour premieres: "Rendezvous," "Mountain of Love" and "Point Blank."
"Mountain of Love" written by Harold Dorman, reached No. 9 on the Billboard charts by Johnny Rivers in 1964.
The song was performed by Bruce live five times in 1975 before being played once in 2008 and twice in 2009.
Friday night was Max Weinberg's 61st birthday and Bruce played "Ramrod" (via sign request) for the occasion during the encores.
Patti Scialfa was not at the show, the second straight one she has missed.
"Easy Money" was not played again for the second straight show. "Shackled and Drawn" was played for the fourth time..
Show began at 8:25 p.m.
(Bruce and the band come out to "Buffalo Gals" being played and Bruce sings along).
