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 Tickets have now been rescinded.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.

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
