Bruce

[swede]

He didn't say that. He said you heard 30 seconds-ish into the second song didn't you? At most two songs wasn't it you said? Now you may have found that dull and I'm sure many may have as is represented via the comments on here. Equally many on here are saying they enjoyed it. Both are true. Some liked it, some didn't.

Just because some find something great doesn't mean it is for everyone. Just like you finding it dull doesn't mean it is. For me it was very good but I've seen better since. Indeed his IOW set was as good as anything I've seen. For you the 5 minutes you saw you didn't like so you moved on... that's the beauty of a festival and music. Especially Glastonbury.

To me if you don't get Bruce I can see why you think he's very dull. Completely I can. If you do get him though he can be life affirming. I don't see why both sides, and it is both, have to argue so stubbornly that he was or wasn't dull... because he was both. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.

Legendary artists aren't always universally popular. Hell, I even have friends who don't like The Beatles... the fools!

[Wooderson]

They play a rake of classics in a row live as part of a 25 minute encore. Lads, it is AMAZING.

"God Gave Rock 'N Roll To You II" honestly nearly moved me to tears. It'll never happen but there is scarcely a more suitable song for that Pyramid stage.

[5co77ie]

that Paris date surely rules him out of glastonbury then.

[The Nal]

Annoying. Wouldn't have minded going to Paris to see him.

May hit Rome. Tickets are 56 euro as opposed to the 79 sterling they're charging in Belfast.

[GlastoSimon]

Didn't some bloke say he was playing Paris on the 29th a few weeks ago?

If that was right, means he'll play somewhere in Cardiff on the 13th, with some other dates too I imagine.

[Bobs]

Was he really that bad at Glastonbury?

I saw him at Isle Of Wight, and he was just incredible, the setlist was near perfect, but then again Wrecking Ball is a great album, where tunes like Outlaw pete are fucking atrocious, as quite rightly pointed out here!

[drewsstrat]

Glasto possible, and it will be 4 yrs from last which is frightening. If he pulls out set like the one i saw in IOW i would be happier than if he did a 2009 repeat. No sign of Cardiff as rumours though

[abdoujaparov]

the people who don't like him didn't like him. Those that do thought he wasn't as good as he could have been, but still pretty good

[Dukeicon]

where's that from?

Edited November 28, 2012 by Dukeicon

[Bobs]

YESSS!

Surely he can't play glastonbury?

[MEGABOWL]

and those who were neutral generally thoight he was dull and uninspired

[MEGABOWL]

YESSS!

Surely he can't play glastonbury?

[abdoujaparov]

Not having that at all. Way too much of a generalisation. All the neutrals I know who went thought he was great.

[GlastoSimon]

Is it me or is Wembley taking on a lot more gigs in 2013 than usual? Or am I just noticing these as opposed to in the past when I haven't?

Would have thought that more dates will be added in the UK if these sell out, as opposed to Glastonbury being an option again.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

London/Glasgow/Coventry - all the week before G. Wallet going to take a real hammering next June

[Ed209]

I was a neutral and after half an hour I was looking for a wall with some drying paint for mental stimulus.

[Neville Street]

I'm a fan but a friend who I convinced to watch and who was ambivalent was very polite but I think was disappointed overall.

I loved it, despite being stood about 20m behind the sausage flag twat!

[Bobs]

To me it's just the way it's fell.

Green Day - were eventually going to tour again, they have a london date

Bruce Springsteen - was never going to be done with this tour, he'll take a big break again after the summer. Midlands and Glasgow didn't have shows last time out.

Muse - New Album. Big Enough for stadium as seen before

Roger Waters - Surprising really, didn't think he'd sell Wembley out, still don't think he will.

The Killers - Well, that's just laughable really, not enough people are going to pay them prices are they?

Robbie Williams - Did anyone seriously think this wasn't going to happen? After whoring himself out to Take That last summer? w*nker. (i Would see him at a festival though, provided he wasnt a headliner)

All this culminates in is, far too many stadium shows, including the ones i've missed and as someone pointed out to me before, it leads to over saturation and they'll just go unsold, i guess thats what happens when Hyde Park goes to crap!

[When Jokers Attack]

Will be getting a ticket for Hampden. Nice way to start the Glasto holiday!

[Madyokel]

I thought he was good.. Mind you did not see all the set as my daughter who was 12 at the time was colod and did not know his stuff.. She soon warmed up bouncing to The Prodidgy a couple of mins later..

No He wont be playing next year.. Not a chance in hell.. Back in 4 years.. NNNNnnnnnooooo

[incident]

So, the key question is, what are the sound levels and curfews like at Wembley these days?

Coventry is my closest show, but it's a terrible city and a pain in the arse getting home if you don't want to drive. Wembley would be the obvious one to go for but I'm now automatically avoiding concerts in London where possible.
