Bruce Springsteen

[Ted Dansons Wig]

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 Tickets have now been rescinded.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.

Picture of the venue from yesterdays Kilkenny People. You can see the stage in the background

[Wooderson]

Talking about English over zealousness, I notice yer man Jamie is running the line in Kilkenny again.

[The Nal]

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.

Youre right Tonyo. Woodersons been reading too much Viz.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Somebodys been reading those CD lyrics sheets one handed again...

[When Jokers Attack]

It's all personal opinion at the end of the day but found this quite a good read

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?

[The Nal]

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?

[The Nal]

Mixed. Fine here in Dublin, showers all over the country though. Its a lottery really.

[The Nal]

Full album USA tonight

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Stand on it as well -never seen that one. And Drive All Night. One of my 2 all time favourite Bruce tracks. 30 odd gigs and never seen it.

[The Nal]

On the way home. Missus driving. Gig was good. Nothing spectacular to be honest. Really enjoyed it but Im really Bruced out now!

Roll on a solo tour!

[When Jokers Attack]

Setlist looked brilliant. I say that as I still haven't seen him play Born To Run in full yet. Would love to hear 41 shots and Wild Billy's Circus live. Solo tour sounds good though.

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.
