BBC Glastonbury

So it was meant to be The Prodigy vs Macca

[CaledonianGonzo]

Crowd for Boss does look subdued, but the E Street Band aren't phoning in the gig.

[WestCountryGirl]

This is the first time I've seen this performance (and I once went to Asbury Park to see Gaslight, and Bruce came out with them for a song) but I'm seeing Brian singing and thinking... he is fucking nervous to suddenly be performing infront of a larger crowd than Gaslight had ever seen 😂

Yes. But then Bat Out Of Hell sounds like Springsteen.

I’m a little behind but I find it really random that the AM drummer has a Royal Blood T Shirt on in 2013, hadn’t even realised they were about then!

This has been covered but it caused a mini online sensation for RB at the time.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ten years of being gaslit by c**ts on here claiming that Springsteen tanked.

I'll never forget the moment Bruce walked onstage in the John Peel tent to join Gaslight. Really was quite a special day. 

Watched that set earlier today. Never heard a louder pop at a gig than that and doubt I ever will.

[Hugh Jass]

Always nice to see Silvio Dante on guitar.

I got bit by the Springsteen bug big time a couple of years ago and this has put a huge smile on my face. Looking at his setlist I can see why he garnered a bit of flack, but you wouldn’t know that from this video now - shit hot.

Springsteen really was 'peak flag' wasn't it...

Partly why I left fairly early. Couldn't really see a thing and the cameras were struggling to get decent shots for the screens.

Selfish attention seeking arseholes.

No flags in '95?

Had only just started being televised, maybe nobody thought to bring a massive flag to draw attention to themselves ("I'm hilarious, I'll let everyone know I love sausage" etc.)

[Freddyflintstonree]

Agreed. This is ace.

Lol, she does have a bit of a potty mouth bless her

[Andeeroo]

Had a fucking great time down the front for Bruce. Gimme Outlaw Pete.

[Hugh Jass]

Didn’t go to Springsteen, never interested me. Think I ended up watching Jarvis in the JP.

[Padgey]

Springsteen is quality, hopefully again sometime

Easily one of my best gigs ever. The wristbands made The Pyramid look better than it's ever been.

I preferred their 2011 set, there was anticipation in our group to see them as we were skint uni students who couldn’t afford one of their gigs. We all went together, bringing friends from colleges & uni together, it was brilliant. Especially when the Pyramid lit up.

2015 was great too & managed to get a wristband seeing them at The Emirates.

Definitely wasn't a fan. Don't think I was intending to go. Then a kind stranger gave me a spare wristband and I thought I'd check it out.

Easily one of my best gigs ever. The wristbands made The Pyramid look better than it's ever been. And when they bought out Barry Gibb I was just gobsmacked and floored (I've owned the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack forever (nearly forty years by that point). It's still a dance/disco classic).

Never been a big fan of coldplay but went along that night and was so glad I did it was a phenomenal experience 

[CaledonianGonzo]

BOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!

[jparx]

Oh man. In a different reality Gaslighting Anthem are a Glastonbury headliner. 

[Freddyflintstonree]

Who the hell said this was tanked? 

[Beaver89]

Never understood the flack for the Bruce set. It lulled a bit in the middle when he indulged on new and obscure tracks IIRC but overall felt we got the full force of his live reputation.

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

I've just smashed a hole in my wall trying to copy The Boss with my guitar.
