Even for a tour marked by eclectic setlists, Vancouver 2005 stands out for the breadth and intrigue of its 26-song set. Springsteen opens this riveting solo evening with "Living Proof" performed on pump organ. From there, he continues to challenge himself dropping rarity after rarity including the Devils & Dust tour's only inclusion of "Because The Night" on electric piano; a falsetto-led, atmospheric reading of "State Trooper"; piano takes of "The Promise" and "Real World"; welcome airings for "Ain't Got You," "Cynthia" and "Janey, Don't You Lose Heart"; plus his last performance to date of "Paradise."
