Springsteen fans are a strange bunch, they're like some sort of cult. The guy's not even that good.

What an insight. I guess I really need to re-examine 30+ years of fandom... 🙄

The 1978 shows still getting pumped out as official bootlegs are all amongst the greatest live albums ever released. It's extraordinary.

Was at this gig and nerded out when he dropped this

Saw him do it in Belfast - sadly they made a bit of a fist of it  bit it's the thought that counts.

You'll be lucky. Doesn't play it a lot since the Big Man left us.

Is there scope for second nights at Edinburgh or Brum? I think there’s going to be demand for it.

Only room for second nights if there's a three day minimum gap as no back to back shows over 2 nights any more.

No chance of a second Birmingham show. There is space for a second Edinburgh show, but I've been told it's just the 4 UK shows for 2023.

Thanks. Fingers crossed for Villa then.

Probably won't be enough demand for a second Edinburgh show - don't think any of his Hampden shows have ever sold out and I think Murrayfield has a bigger capacity.

Half price tixs for The Libertines at Wembley below.

Didn't the Scottish date in 2016 sell out? Was under the impression the only UK show that didn't hit capacity was Manchester.

Which, when I think about, could be credibly why he's not gone back there. That and the fact ticket prices seem to have significantly jumped again - if the people of the north of England weren't going to stomach the £20 increase between Wrecking Ball and The River '16, what chance do they have now?

December 2007 at the O2 was our last time....we also got 'Racing In The Street' from a sign request, plus 'Santa' too obvs.

Super night.

Got through in the Amex presale.  Hyde Park here I come.

Racing in the street would be good too - out of the three big piano ones that I like I've only seen Backstreets at Manchester in 2016. 

We got Santa from a sign request that day too. In late May

Fantastic.

We're looking for Birmingham....Villa Park '88 was our first. Villa Park '23 might be our last. It's my 60th birthday same day too.  Full circle.

I don't believe any of the last 3 Glasgow shows sold out. 

While I've really enjoyed them both (and it's my favourite city in the UK!) the last 2 Manchester shows have felt very subdued. Part of that was due to the appalling weather that even a British audience couldn't shrug off! I hope to see him again in Manchester, but I'm kind of glad it's being skipped this time round.

Amyl & The Sniffers sorted. Missed them at Glasto

[Tartan_Glasto]

Haim last night in Glasgow. Amazing as usual. Just don't understand how three sisters can all be so talented! Didn't watch their Glastonbury set as didn't want to spoil it, so can get onto that now. 

 

[Padjeq]

Got the No Nukes Springsteen blu ray for chrimbo. Absolutely amazing, and a different feeling to the Apollo show from the same era.

edit: this was a reply to something, but I'm note sure what

Yeah - was a blast. They're such a fun band.  Good to see The Steps as an encore closer - recognition that its a Grade A banger.

How is Villa Park as a gig venue? Never seen anything there before.

Totally, Now I'm In It opening and The Steps closing was just brilliant. Also, had no idea Este could sing like that when she was belting out 3AM 😃

Parking locally is terrible. Better to park in Birmingham city centre and get train out from New St to Witton. Every 20 mins or so...10 minute journey...return trains through to midnight-ish.

Even allowing for the Scotland factor, this is a more successful comeback than I’d expected.
