Bruce Springsteen wraps up Jersey dates with longest-ever U.S. show

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band couldn't leave New Jersey without breaking another record.

Tuesday night's concert at MetLife Stadium ended four hours after it started, breaking the previous record for the group's longest U.S. show of three hours, 59 minutes set at MetLife last Thursday.

Springsteen, who turns 67 next month, played 25 songs in the main setlist and further nine in the encore, ending with his frequently performed cover of Jersey Girl by Tom Waits.

While Springsteen has been touring in support of his reissue of 1980's The River, Tuesday's show began with 10 songs that were released on his first two albums in the early 1970s, Greetings from Asbury Park and The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.

For Spirt in the Night from Greetings, Springsteen was joined onstage by singer Rickie Lee Jones.

Springsteen told the audience his three recent shows at the Meadowlands in New Jersey were "most enjoyable."

The Boss' longest show ever was four hours, 6 minutes in Helsinki, Finland, in 2012.

The River Tour 2016, which kicked off in January, ends in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sept. 14.

Springsteen's memoir, Born to Run, will be released on Sept. 27, and his manager Jon Landau told Billboard earlier this summer that his next music project is a solo album, describing it as "a very different kind of record."
