12/19, LONDON: LAST ORDERS FOR THE 2007 TOUR
"This is a really big building," Springsteen said of the new O2 complex, its luxury-boxed arena surrounded by shops and restaurants, all underneath an enormous fabric dome. "That's okay -- we're the big building killers." He added, "Also known as dead ass killers, for those of you still in your seats!" And if killing is their business, then business was good -- especially with the "Because the Night" sandwich in the main set, that song featuring amazing guitar work from Nils once again. "Waitin' on a Sunny Day," loved by the crowd, also helped enliven some asses and bring the arena down to size.

Nearly the same setlist as Paris, only with "The River" replaced by two songs back-to-back, "Working on the Highway" and "Racing in the Street." This was only the second "Racing" of the tour, after its debut in Oakland nearly two months ago, and it was an audible, played by request: "You've been following us around for two months with that one sign," Bruce nodded to a guy in the crowd, "So we're gonna get that one for you." The rarity was an especially welcome moment for those who have been seeing these shows night after night, too. Here at this last E Street Band show of the leg and of 2007, Bruce sent them a special shout-out in the encore, "I'd like to thank all the fans that followed us across Europe."

In the encore, Clarence -- introduced tonight as "the next King of England!" -- did a royally good job on "Jungleland." For the 25th and final song, Bruce asked, "Do you believe in Santy Claus?" He encouraged the lobbing of hats onstage, and as the band was haberdashed for the last time this year, a little girl had some special headgear just for Steve: bobblehead Santa earmuffs. Steve hemmed and hawed, but he couldn't say no. "Happy holidays from the E Street Band," Bruce called, wrapping up the 2007 Magic tour, and "We'll see you in the summer!"
