Bruce Springsteen

probably...

but it wouldn't be the same (obviously)

considering how much of a struggle the last tour was for him, I can't imagine there being any more shows.

The Who seem unlikey to do much more, same for The Stones.... E-Street Band..?..

feeling like an end of an era really

again

Everythings shite since Roy Orbison died.

Bruce has said before that there'd be no ESB without Big C. :(

"Well, things are starting to heat up down on E Street.

A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.

In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you — real soon."

I went the first night, and it was one of the best shows ever. The show overran (I think) and he was fined thousands....

started with a truly stonking 10th Avenue... and just got better and better. First great Springsteen show in a few years (for me)... until that tour finished, he was amazing... again

Think he played "Candy's Room" that night didnt he? One of my faves, that. And "Backstreets" was played on the following night... havent seen either of them in the 7/8 shows I've seen.

Think that 2008 tour was sensational. My fave of the shows ive seen was the last night of 3 in Dublin. Mindblowing atmosphere.

*edit*

He played Candy's Room at a show I was at with The Nal in '03. Real "up-close-and-personal" stuff that gig.

After "The River", Candy's Room is prolly my fave song of his.

I like the 'oddness' about it's structure... the build up and the tension that gets released... the dynamics. It's only a short song, just does what it does, and then off

like being with a prostitue

probably.....

Or a groupie in your case.....

Probably.......

Hooker or a stripper? Dunno. I give him a little more credit than that. I always took it as "Candy" was Bruce's personification of his barely-tempered lust. For a man practically devoid of any psychadelic references in his music this stands just to the left of the rest of his back-catalogue. And the solo?!?!!?1 Fackin' hell lads. Stunning.

except that's the riff (just one bar) that the whole song is based on...

The whole Springsteen song is based on the chorus of "Always" in my ears. Or as close as can be.

Shame because the lyrics are pretty good

"I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone,

Those good intentions gone dry as a bone."

Having a pop at Obama there?

how do you do that? you seem to have an encyclopeadic knowledge of youtube!!

I remember seeing a Vanilla Ice documentary years ago on MTV and that part always amused me. You'll usually find anything on Youtube if you search for it.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
