Seeing Springsteen, what can I expect?

Just got back from seeing the man himself ! it was bloody brilliant , he opened with no surrender which sent the crowd wild ! we also go growin up (which was a request) that was amazing , because the night with an amazing guitar solo , badlands which was brilliant , the crowd loved it (it's the perfect song to finish with , before the encore) adam raised a cain was great ! so was the rising (i forgot how much i love that song ) then we had born to run and i didnt think we'd get dancing in the dark but we did ! it was great , and i really liked American Land aswell.

im not actually sure what the full setlist is , but generally it was a great gig , there were some slow songs that didn't do much for the crowd , but overall it was amazing !!

i don't know if it's one filled with bruce rarities or not , but i really enjoyed it.

Please let them bring Mary's Place to Giants, not to mention Thunder Road and some Born in The USA tracks..

Kev and Carli were there tonight too. I know that Kev wanted Jungleland but this is a hell of a good setlist. Growin Up doesn't get played that often anymore, neither does Trapped (which is not a written by Bruce song but he has sung it for so long - like Jersey Girl - that everyone thinks it's his). Saint in the City is from his first album in 1973. Unlike Jovi, Bruce will sing stuff from both very old and very new albums. Darlington County also doesn't get played much. I would be very happy at a show with this setlist.

I sure hope Kev had a hell of a time And I'm looking forward to 3 shows in July (and there are rumours of extending the tour until October

traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppppppped.



Fantastic.


I got Nils solo on my camera too, will upload bits and bobs to youtube.

What a night!

Btw It's Hard to be Saint in the City was a request too, Bruce came out near the start and said something like "Show me those banners, I want some requests" (shame Jon doesn't do that hey Seb...)


Poor old Big Man isn't moving about too easily these days :/ I have to agree with what Kathleen said about another big scale tour, unless they replace him with someone... But it's the Big Man so...

I love this song - as does the crowd.

Glad you had a good time.

That was an amazing solo ! can't wait to see it again.

Yup he loves those requests. I remember from the solo tour 4 Italian fans met him in the sauna in his hotel in Stockholm and chatted for a while and he asked for requests and played a few the following night.
I would love to hear Lost in the flood and For you in London.

I saw Kev and Carli last night outside the stadium, but they were off before I could say hi to them. What an amazing gig! That guy is one hell of a performer. It is a shame that he didn't play Jungleland, and a few of my other favourates like Thunder Road, Glory Days, etc but come on. The guy's got a back catalog of about 30 hours worth of material and to play going up for 3 hours was fantastic considering his age. He looks like he really loves playing and that vibe really got the crowd going.
