Bruce Springsteen, VOTE FOR CHANGE, DAY TWO: SUNDAY IN OHIO

The second of Springsteen’s Vote for Change rallies brought him to Columbus on Sunday afternoon, where he was introduced by Ohio native, Mercury astronaut, and former U.S. Senator John Glenn. Springsteen opened up with a bit of The Byrds’ “Hey Mr. Spaceman” in his honor. After that, a seven-song acoustic set, as in Philly, beginning with “The Promised Land” and including a variation on his rousing speech from the previous day. One setlist change — instead of “Does This Bus Stop,” here in Ohio Bruce gave a nod to “Youngstown.”

The event, which brought 10,000 to OSU’s Main Oval, was “aimed at encouraging Obama supporters to take advantage of Ohio’s weeklong same-day voting period,” the Associated Press reports, “in which state residents can register and cast an absentee ballot on the same day…. Absentee voting in Ohio began Tuesday. The state’s voter registration deadline is today.”

Setlist:
Hey Mr. Spaceman
The Promised Land
The Ghost of Tom Joad
Thunder Road
Youngstown
No Surrender
The Rising
This Land is Your Land
