Springsteen breaks his record for longest US show

Christie rocked out hard, dancing, singing and fist-pumping at Springsteen's August 25 show at MetLife Stadium, fist-pumping, singing, and dancing through record-breaking four-hour show.

The Springsteen fan website, Backstreets.com, says Thursday night's show lasted almost four hours, breaking the previous record for the group's longest USA show of 3 hours and 52 minutes set at MetLife on Tuesday.

The previous longest? That took place on Tuesday, at the first of Bruce's scheduled MetLife Stadium concerts, which ran three hours and 52 minutes. He did play a handful of songs off that album in his 35-song, four-hour set, but mostly offered up a good mix of classics. During the show, Bruce dedicated "My City of Ruins" to the quake victims in Italy.

After a rousing rave-up of "Shout"- with Springsteen donning a cape in an ode to James Brown - an impromptu band meeting center stage rewarded the audience with "one more song for Jersey" - "Jersey Girl" - as fireworks filled the night.

The Boss's longest-ever show was four hours and six minutes, in Helsinki, Finland, in 2012.

Not too shabby for a guy who turns 66 in September.

The concert, which kicked off the Springsteen's latest tour, was the first of three the band will play at MetLife Stadium.
