Bruce Springsteen

Couldn't stop laughing at that, seriously? What was that about? £20 fine, are you messing?

If only bud.

The picture Nal posted is from the BBC News site. Tickets have now been rescinded. But after the Hyde Park switch off fiasco comes this. Bet Bruce is dreading going through customs on the way out.

They're running Bruce out of town.

When you think about the fact hes only played Streets of Philadelphia 5 times this century and Secret Garden - what? 3 times ever?!

Theyre other bands closing encores every night.

What a tune. The "Ain't no angel gonna greet me" middle eight is one of my favourite Bruce moments. So powerful and sad it could stop a stampede of elephants.

Vocal for the video recorded live.

Tunnel of Love is another of Bruce's Freudian "mickey" songs.

That and Prove it All Night.

Thought the bit in Springsteen and I with Red Headed Woman was distasteful aswell. I've zero time for "lusty" Bruce. "Reno" for example. Yuck.

So after a few beers last night, a few Boss tunes and a mate telling me how he regrets not seeing the Stones at Glasto and missing gigs in general is shit Ive bought a ticket for tomorrow!

Good man. You know it makes senses. This from the bloke who'd pretty much had it with Bruce for this tour. You can still get tix then?

Yeah on ticketbastard last night. The anti tout ones they always put up close to the date. Driving there and back from Dublin. Well, Im driving there and the missus is driving back! Last night of the tour. Could be special.

I bet it will. Even checked out the flights meself when I read your post earlier.

What kind of weather you having over there?

Glad you enjoyed it Nal.

Was watching the setlist as it developed on Greasy Lake (sad person that I am). Looked as if he got to a point with the three tour premiers when he could have gone all the way and done a really wacky set - then settled back and went for Born To Run instead.

Saying that - it was Bruce and it wasnt just any old album. Assume anybody there had a superb night

Wooderson - you were at both nights?

41 shots was great. Wild Billys Circus not so much. Lost the crowd there a bit. Thats the problem when you cater to the nerds sign requests.

Good show. Although I've seen that encore like 10 times now! Not sure why he plays This Little Light of Mine twice. Wasn't loud enough either. After Stockholm nothing will be! He played Adam Raised a Cain and the difference in volume was crazy. The intro nearly took my head off in Stockholm.

I've seen too many shows now and I'm properly Bruced out. Really this time!

Yeah - some of the signs at recent gigs have been ridiculous. It was the same with TV Movie at Cardiff. So its not been played before - theres a reason.

I dont think I've ever heard a Springsteen gig like that Stockholm sound. Live like it should be heard. Enough of the stadiums already.

Interesting new thread on BTX this morning: When Did Bruce Leave the Stage to Take a Dump.

Nice trolling - they'll be foaming at the mouth

EDIT: I take it back. People are actually responding. And the first responder is one of our very own.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
