Bruce Springsteen played five concerts at New Jersey's Giants Stadium between September 30 and October 9, 2009. He opened each of the shows with a new song, aptly titled "Wrecking Ball." The Springsteen shows were the last concerts at Giants Stadium, which is being torn down.
Each Giants Stadium show featured a classic Springsteen album in its entirety—1975's Born to Run, 1978's Darkness on the Edge of Town or 1984's Born in the U.S.A. Springsteen's final show at Giants on October 9, 2009, featured 31 songs. The final song: a cover version of Tom Waits' classic "Jersey Girl."
