Just a few days before The Boss took to the stage at the Páirc, there was a debate about 36-year-old hurling legend Patrick Horgan lining out for Cork against Limerick at the same venue. Did he still have the legs for a top-class performance? The doubters were silenced when the Blackpool man scored 1-11 in a magnificent victory. On Thursday night, it felt as if Springsteen, 74, had plucked a dropping ball from Horgan out of the sky and soloed around the stadium with the same energy. Three hours of top-class music and entertainment. Elder lemons abú.
