The Nal Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 if bruce does it I'll say it. And he does it. Only on a couple of recent tunes though Neil. But I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 John Fogerty support at Hyde Park! faaaantastic have you seen who Hyde Park are having on the Sunday and what he'll be doing?

The Nal Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Oh yeah, and the first time hes played this since 1978! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 yea yea... so we heard even more envious a good trip then? Fantastic. Barca itself is great, Id never been before. Bruce - Never seen him in that form before. Really really up for it. Think thats 13 & 14 Bruce shows for me and the first time I've ever seen him do Born in the USA with the full band. I'm still hoarse! Was watching a video of me aged 8 a few months back singing it in my kitchen. So many highlights from both shows. Nils solos on Youngstown/Murder Inc on the first night being one of them. Racing in the Street - as always - wow. My not too emotional mate had a "moment" during the River. Something about parents bringing their kids to gigs I love, probably because my Dad did it with me and it resonates so much later in life. This was lovely. At 3.54.

The Nal Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 no 'Outlaw Pete' on the setlist? I bet you were gutted. haha no!! I think you mayeven have enjoyed (some of) it Neil. Hes dispensed with the Working on a Dream type thing. A lot more raw, depressing in parts, real. And the new album is much better than the last one. The stuff about people losing homes etc (he spoke in Catalan - I had to get someone to translate - a first) really hit home, especially in Spain. Hes managed to be more wide reaching now yet even more relevant. Every song means something different to every person. Crowd ranged from aged 3 to aged 80. On the 2nd night there were three 10 year old girls beside me that went Beatlemania crazy when he came on. Just went apeshit. Tears and everything.

The Nal Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Alright last two...... The end of this was great. And the crowd here! Compare that to the Hard Rock Calling crowd. He came out to Protection by Donna Summer (which I never knew he wrote). She died a few hours earlier.

Maybe not if thats the only gig you go to. A lot of London crowds are too cool to do anything but stand there most of the time. The HRC dvd Bruce released has a crowd of statues.
