I am hoping to get him to play my favorite song "I'm on Fire"

I have no idea how long his set is these days. I saw him on the River tour in 1980 or 81 & again on the Born in the USA tour in 85. Those shows were all about three-&-a-half to four hours long. They were all immense presentations, epic in scope & profound in mass appeal. He was the Aaron Copland of rock musicians. The E Street Band was one of the three or four greatest in the world.

As for this taking requests from you in the audience, it seems unlikely on the face of it. Have you heard something to suggest that Springsteen does this generally these days?
