At Tuesday's Dublin show, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band had a a few fun responses to Saturday's abrupt ending to their Hard Rocking Calling concert in London with Paul McCartney.

To start the show at the RDS Arena, Bruce and Steve Van Zandt came onstage with a power generator and said "Before we were so rudely interrupted" and played the end of "Twist and Shout." according to @GreasyLake on Twitter.

Bruce and the band then opened the show with "I Fought The Law," the 1966 Bobby Fuller Four Top 10 hit.

Internet reports also say that during "Dancing in the Dark," the video screens showed only a generator battery switched "on".



During "Twist and Shout," someone came onstage dressed as a policeman to try and pull the plug out. During the next and final song, "American Land," the fake cop pulls the plug and Van Zandt plus it back in.



Great job, Bruce. What a wonderful and fun response to what happened Saturday! Overall,.a 31-song, 3-hour-and-21 minute show.

In addition to "I Fought the Law," other Wrecking Ball tour premieres were "I'm A Rocker" and "My Hometown," the latter dedicated to U2.

Patti Scialfa was at the show (so "Easy Money" was played), and Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day Lewis were in the crowd.
