Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played the second of back-to-back shows at the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday.

Internet reports say sax player Jake Clemons arrived on stage in a wheelchair. "Jake sneezed last night and put his back out," said Bruce according to Twitter reports.

Glenn Radecki, who writes for the Backstreets fan site, posted: "Jake played the whole show from the horn riser. He did all of the sax parts he usually does. He was brought out on a wheelchair and had a stool to sit in for the show."

You wonder why Springsteen fans attend as many shows at they can? Because Bruce played 16 different songs than he did on Tuesday. Incredible!

No tour premieres but a nice opening with a solo acoustic "This Hard Land."

Interesting to see three songs played between "We Take Care of Our Own" and "Wrecking Ball." Usually those two songs are played back-to-back but fans in Dublin got "Badlands," "Something in the Night," and "Adam Raised a Cain," separating them.

Also "Rocky Ground" was played toward the end of the encores, the first time its been played since the June 19 show in Montpellier, France.

A solid 32-song set list with no tour premieres in the three-hour-and-28-minute show.
