Bruce

[Wooderson]

I think some of the obsession on there is hilarious.

What I'm more interested in however is the likelihood of Bruce playing Glasters again so soon after 2009? Fact that theres no real "set up" needs from his people doesnt make it impossible.

Just can't see it myself - irrespective of the Paris date.

[Wooderson]

Yeah - Ill be at both of those tix permitting. Then London and Coventry (not sure I can make the Hampden). Shame no Barca data announced. Will be able to go to as many as I like assuming Mrs carries through the threat to divorce me if I follow him round again.

Seen rumours on the internet that Stockholm will get 2 nights at the Friends Arena on 3/4 August. I saw it on the internet so it must be true.

There are some crazy fools posting on BTX/Greasy Lake etc. Wouldn't mind betting that for all the travelling for shows they only see hotel/venue/airport, same as the band. Travel is wasted on some people!

I was up on the morning of his Glasto show at about 8am and went for a wander round the site for brekkie. Walked through the Pyramid field and there were people already there sat with their backs to the barrier in Bruce tshirts etc. That was them for the day. Don't know if they even stayed for the other days of the festie.

These are the fuckers who dehydrate themselves so they don't have to use the toilet all day. cheering the roadies when they come on to sound check Bruces guitar, chanting "We love you Kevin".

Clowns.

Good schtuff.

Whatcha reckon about further dates? Scandinavia after Ireland? Would love to see him do Stockholm or Gothenburg.

[Ed209]

Yeah dry shites the lot of them. I've met one or two of the heavys from BTX. Real weirdos. Living in their mothers basement amid a load of dirty laundry, potential running through the streets spraying machine gun fire sort of weirdos.

Ultimate irony about Bruce/Glasto and frothing at the mouth horde of Urukhai on BTX is that their boy royally blew it at the biggest festival on the planet.

[Wooderson]

I'm gonna call my first born son "Mister".

... Sorry Nal, I've bagsied it.

[Dark Star]

Got to be. But lack of Spain dates is a gap as well. Had promised myself to get to the Barcelona gig next time round. But theres gaps all over the place still - so there could be all sorts yet. Manchester? Dublin? Vienna?

you're all banging on about the Bruce saddos somewhere else, meanwhile this thread have got to 16 pages.

Manchester won't happen, the UK may get a second night at Wembley if it sells well enough (can't see it tbh), Dublin has been skipped in favour of Limerick, Cork and Belfast.

Nothing yet for Austria etc, not seen it rumoured anywhere.

They need to do indoor dates for a change.

[Wooderson]

Neil you should put Bruce as "SR" just to wind up those blerts.

[shineongas]

I was banking on Cardiff if he isn't playing Glastonbury. That was one of the initial rumours, still hoping it comes good.

Live Nation are usually pretty good with the UK announcement, i.e. all shows at the same time and only changes being any additional nights. 6 shows to cover the UK and Ireland is way more than we normally get already.

[eFestivals]

Yeah but half the thread is you battering on about how boring he was

yeah, but I'm right.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

yeah, but I'm right.

[Leggins]

If it hasn't already been mentioned, this thread will soon be as long as one of Bruce's gigs. Sadly there'll be no Hyde Park guy to come in and pull the plug I fear.

PS. Saw Bruce once at Cardiff Millenium Stadium in 2004?/2005? and he was awesome.

[jimmyt]

Bruce is on The Rubberbandits on Channel 4 right now. His new album sounds like the best thing he's done in ages and he looks better than ever! Didn't mention Glastonbury, though!

[disasterplan]

I'd love him to play but it won't happen. Expensive but amazing couple of weeks in June, no doubt!

For those that are interested: Live Nation's pre-sale for the UK gigs is Thursday 9 am. I think its a registration thing and then you get access.

[Wooderson]

Had I not experienced the show I did, with the company I did, in the city I did then I probably would be precisely like Neil in my opinion of his Bruceness. I thought he was overwrought and humourless.

I've hotels booked for Limerick and Belfast though in advance of getting tickets on Thursday for shows #10 and #11.
