The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

Just back from Dublin (new record time, and this time my car didnt get broken into)

soo how to describe....... Bruce was.... HOLY ****ING HELLL AMAZIN!!!

that is how u do a rock show,screw it...... thats how u do a music show period!! totally blew me away tonight! i mean MY GOD! and playing 3 hours, still didnt have me satisfied!

I went alone, pissing rain from about 4.30 untill bruce played Sunny day.... and i swear i wouldnt have cared if the rain kept coming and coming! it was just brill! beats the 3 Jovi shows iv seen hands down! the crowd were on there feet the full way through! everyone was simply pumping

Bruce went into the crowd, grab all the signs they had made, then made the set list up from them as he went along (dont know if he does that often, but adds to the full performence of the show), mix of young and old people ther all bouncing and singing tongether, including a very nice blonde southern girl (im from the north of ireland lol) who i wish id gotten to know a lot better than i did! lol, its Half 2 in the morning and im still buzzing of that show! my friends are going tomorrow night, id love to be with them!


Question..... If Jon was such a big fan of Bruce, why the heck does he not just copy him live!! lol...... including the 3 hour long shows lol

Everyone asks this. Not boos but Bruuuuuce

I'm so glad all you guys enjoyed your first Bruce show - he's the best I've ever seen (except for a few Led Zeppelin shows where I swear I saw god).

Yes, Bruce delivers the real deal. It is interesting isn't it that Jon has copied Bruce here and there over the years in live shows but never the versatility of the setlist or the long sets. However, I'm not sure Jon's voice would hold up to be honest, don't know how Bruce does it.
Jon did change up the setlist somewhat during the last tour though which was a nice change.

Oh no did Bruce fall again! Was it during American Land as he did in Stockholm when it rained? He "broke his ass" as he put it..haha so next night a friend of mine had made a sign saying "How's your ass?" which he put up on stage commenting "the ass is fine", and for the last show she made a sign for Twist and shout adding "break stadiums not asses" that he also put up on stage before playing T&S, this song being the one that nearly demolished our stadium in Gothenburg in -85. It had to be closed for 5-6 years while they reinforced it.

I fucking hate American Land. At Hyde Park I was buzzing off Jungleland, and then he decided to do a ten minute version of that stupid song, and totally blunted the edge of the last one.

And it makes me even more pissed off that he didn't do Hungry Heart with Jon in the end. He could've played a great song with another great singer instead of a needlessly extended version of an already shitty song. Or he could've played I'm Goin' Down

It was during American Land when he fell. He got it right the second time and he actually mentioned that it was the second time he's done that.

It was an unbelievabley brilliant gig. The best I've seen Bruce. Round two tonight!

btw if anyone is wondering about pubs to hit before the boss gig. the goose right next to glasgow central will be heaving with fans and it's just a train journey away to the stadium

any pub near mount florida or kings park stations will be rammed too.

i'm keeping my favourite one to myself though, don't want it getting too busy

oh yeah and if you're heading back into town after the gig for a hotel or whatever, go to kings park train station so you can get on before mount florida. you'll thank me for that one.

Man, last month waiting for this gig wasn't too bad.

But now that it's so damn close the days are going so slooooooooow and IT'S TORTUROUS.

Luckily my new guitar arrives tommorow so that'll keep me occupied then - BUT TODAY IS GOING TO GO SO SLOW.

But even though I'm dying to see him, I'm gonna be so down once the gig is over cos I won't have any more Springsteen to look forward to

And why do you think so many of us nutcases go to multiple shows? It's really to put off the post-show depression LOL.

I want to re-do my first Bruce show with better seats. It would have been pure magic if I could have actually stood up.

Aw gee Matt - that's too bad. I hate shows like that - you never really get into them enough to really enjoy them.
