The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

Man, I'm not even attending Glasto but I'm so frickin' excited to see it on TV still!

And maybe I should confess, this will be the first ever full gig I've seen of Springsteen televised.

All I've ever seen of his performances are on music videos (like Born To Run's) and like 3 youtube videos I watched.

Now I know he's bloody amazing live just from all the live/bootlegs I've been listening too, but I'm sure as hell looking forward to his visual performance this coming Sunday - which will prepare me and get myself even more excited for Hampden Park

Well, being as I would have only recognised less than 20 Bruce songs (most of them being from the new album), I've created myself a playlist of 91 songs (including the entire 3 disc Essential, the entire of The Rising, Magic and Working On A Dream, and some other songs I've seen people mention in this thread, including Thunder Road, Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, Ramrod, Downbound Train, Kitty's Back, and some others), which I'm gonna try to listen to at least twice in the next few days ... sound good?

Good idea

Although I do have one gripe, there doesn't seem to be enough Springsteen in that playlist.

Sounds like excellent homework to me! Have fun.

I can't believe i'm being such a geek -

Let's play fantasy setlist for Sunday's Hyde Park show.

One point for every song that gets played.

A bonus point if you put it in the right position in the set. (This has to work numerically - no points for getting the closer right if it's the 25th song and you said it would be 24th).

You lose a point for every song you choose over the total actually played (e.g. if 26 songs are played and you list 31, you lose 5 points).

Hmmm.... hard to do with Bruce. I'll come up with something - probably based upon setlists from the earlier part of the tour.

I was close on the Superbowl setlist.

not going to go with an order but i want to see 10th avenue freeze out, jungleland, the river, atlantic city, born to run and outlaw pete played.

Really looking forward to hyde park on sunday, its come round so quick, im just dissapointed i havent managed to get to know all of his catolouge, but i still know i'll have a blast. Been watching live in NYC and Barcelona all week, currently re lisetning to the river album, god its good shit

i saw he requested an extra half hour for glasto, would be happy if he did that for hyde park

as for a fantasy setlist i think....(well hope:P)

that would be amazing, probably throw in jungleand but sadly i cant see it at a festival show.

how long was his slot at bonarroo btw?

the only worry i have for hyde park is that festivl headliners usually get an hour and a half or there abouts which is nothing in bruce terms.

although with only 4 bands on the main stage and the music kicking off at 2 there's definitely potential for a 7pm start.
