Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered a powerhouse performance on the final night of their three-show stand at Oakland Arena in 1999, marking one of the most memorable evenings of the Reunion Tour. The 24-song set, now available for streaming on nugs.net, captures the legendary artist at his absolute best — combining raw intensity, emotional storytelling, and fan-favorite hits.
The night kicked off with an explosive one-two punch: “Adam Raised a Cain” followed by “Prove It All Night,” immediately setting the tone for a high-octane evening. Springsteen maintained that momentum with riveting renditions of “Atlantic City,” “Youngstown,” and “Murder Incorporated,” each delivered with the grit and urgency that defined this tour.
Fans were also treated to a rare, stripped-down performance of “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” bringing a moment of introspective calm to an otherwise electric night. One of the most unique highlights came with the only full-band performance of “Sinaloa Cowboys” — a deep cut from The Ghost of Tom Joad album that was transformed with the E Street Band’s full sonic firepower.
Adding to the night’s special feel, longtime friend and Jersey Shore legend Southside Johnny made a surprise guest appearance, joining Bruce onstage for a crowd-pleasing version of “Hungry Heart” that had the entire arena singing along.
The encore sealed the night with a fan-favorite gem: a rare, joyful rendition of “Blinded By The Light,” giving long-time followers a rare treat from Springsteen’s earliest days.
