The triumphant, sold-out set of ten shows at Madison Square Garden marked Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's first series of Madison Square Garden concerts since 1988's "Tunnel Of Love Express" tour, and cemented their Number One position on Pollstar's tracking of the Top Ten tours of the first half of 2000. In a New York concert review, USA Today's Elysa Gardner wrote "whether standing still at his mike or cavorting naughtily with his bandmates, Springsteen was both a showman and a shaman, capturing the blend of sex, spirituality and empathy that is the essence of rock 'n' roll and of most great live entertainment."
