Bruce Springsteen unleashed two more tour premieres last Thursday during the first of two shows in Barcelona, Spain. Out went the "Apollo Medley," and in its place were "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)" and "Hungry Heart." But the biggest surprise was when he rolled out the extended introduction to "Prove It All Night," which he hasn't played since the 1978 Darkness on the Edge of Town tour.
