Bruce fucking Springsteen

[Rico1304]

Regent road. Still 3 miles away from the stadium, got to find a parking space and walk up as well.

Ditch the car and get a tram?

[Sugar Ape]

Wouldn't know where to start with that. Only a mile and a half away now, the traffic here is fucking mad though, it's chaos everywhere.

[Stu Monty]

Driving?

 

You obviously weren't BORN TO RUN!!!! 

 

Eh? Eh?

[Sugar Ape]

I'd rep you for that Monty. However as a Manc I'm holding you partly responsible for the traffic and that deserves a neg.

 

Call it quits.

One of the reasons traffic is so bad is that a stupid woman has driven onto the tram lines and they are suspended

Got in for No Surrender so could have been worse but I'm still pissed off. Fucking Manchester. Great gig anyway.

I got in for Sherry Darling.

Took 3 hours to get from Liverpool, fucking nightmare. Had to get out and take a piss on the Mancunian Way. That felt quite satisfying on every level

I was fuming when I finally got in but immediately forgot about the problems. Beer in hand Bruce on stage, good sound and fantastic set-list.The energy of the fella at 66 years old is unbelievable , just never lets up. That was one of the best stadium gigs I've ever seen him do and I've seen a fair few over the years. Still buzzing and cant wait until Wembley but no way it will match that last night. I'm sure he put in that bit extra because of the rain and he knew the fans were getting soaked. The knob in the Santa suit had me in stiches

Sounded like you were going to have to drive all night.

Mate, try going to training about five minutes down the road from the Etihad on a midweek match night. Sitting in match traffic to not even go to the fucking match!

[Archimede]

Superb in Dublin last night. The lads getting better with experience...

my mates were at it. Said he played from 7 until 10.50.

 

Just realised thats almost 4 hours. No wonder he needs a day off in between.

 

going sunday. Cant wait.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Bruce made it possible to have fun in Coventry last night. Just Wembley tomorrow and that's it for me, sad times.

 

There's a 6music special on Bruce today @1pm

[magicrat]

Wembley was brilliant last night. Even their crappy sound system couldn't dull a stellar performance. He had to be on his game to keep so many people engaged most of whom were light years from the stage and drowning in poor acoustics,  The River hardly played a focal point in this unashamed run through his greatest hits but who cared , the weather was great , plenty of crappy beers and a 3 and half hour singalong with your mates. Fantastic.

 

"41 shots" and "Be True" highlights for me. "Jungleland" was special too.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Did a cry at Jungleland. Dedicating Tougher than the rest to Ali was pretty cool. Just hope we get to do it all again soon. What a fucking hero.

Yeh nice touch and a cool song which I've never heard live before.

Wish I could afford to get out to the States to catch him again this tour. 

Every time now you just have this worry that he's going to find it all a bit much and we might not see the full band again.

He's fucking unbelievable for nearly 67 years old.. Freak of nature 

[RedKnight]

Tougher than the Rest - bit of a treat, that, since it's from Tunnel of Love and he doesn't play a lot of stuff from that album.

[Frank Dacey]

I was in the far end of the stadium from the stage and the sound was, at best ok and at worst, dreadful. '41 Shots' was great though but I felt disconnected where I was sitting. If I went to a stadium gig again, I think I'd have to stand. by all accounts the sound was better up at the front.

I was on the pitch. Sound was better nearer the stage if you could deal with the crush. We spent some time up there then came back for beers and a good singalong

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Splendid.

Just got back to my hotel room in New York after being at the Metlife stadium NJ.

 

Bruce and the band were on stage for 4 hours straight absolutely rocking.  Amazing night.

Fuck me, imagine going to that. I think I'd genuinely be speechless.

[sir roger]

Me too RK & inane gurgling isn't an attractive trait in a guy in his 50's.

 

I've just gone on Amazon & they are banging out the hardback for £9.50 so ordered one for myself & one for a mate for Xmas. 

[Special K]

Looks like that Waterstones thing sold out before the 8pm start point

 

What a shock
