Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

Tickets not lasting long on Toutless. Sounds like a very large scale Irish gig setup and I'd sooner give my money to smaller acts than feed that. I'll pop down to the park again tonight and listen in with €2.75 Kinnegar Rustbucket and Sinner IPA. A drone for visuals would be nice. Hope he plays I'm on fire.

Tip for the future me for a gig like this - Have enough drinks beforehand to feel satisfied that I have enough on board to make it a pleasurable experience. Drink wine or spirits in the hour before going into the arena to stop the bladder running riot. Bring in just a couple of cans to last say an hour, to enjoy the first part of the gig in a leisurely manner. By then, the bar queue will be almost non-existent. Go for one more pint. When drank, go for a plss. And then finally make my way further up the crowd for the last 1.25 hours for the main part of the show and get in the atmosphere.

Caveat - the above is contingent on not getting that toilet urge again until gig is complete. If the plss urge comes on in a bad way mid way in to the encore, all bets are off - the night is ruined. Option (a) have to head back through the crowd and off to toilet missing all the good tunes Option (b) just persevere and hold it in - zero enjoyment in that. or Option (c) - think ahead and bring an empty bottle with you (the lads will know what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!).

Much of a muchness tbh

Yeah. Sounded like Darkness, My Love Will Not Let You Down, and Death to my Hometown? Not too clear on main road.

Met Eireann app looks ok up to 11

Pit queue much busier than Friday, as you'd expect. Wristbands given out (to those in the Simmonscourt car park) at half two.

Plastic. Red. With text on them.

I'm guessing from Hueston, Luas into Abbey Street and walk out to Ballsbrige is the best bet

Thinking of Searsons for a pint but like a game in the Aviva will be manic

Nobody

There are some last minute tickets on ticketmaster just now.

Anyone know what time will the performance start?

Sunday service @PTH2009 the DART runs every 30 mins - 145 will bring you from Heuston to walking distance. You can also get the Luas and 46A which is one of the most frequent bus routes.

Only 1/3 of those was one on Friday.

As I said yesterday, he has a huge back catalog, you could make up 3 hours of great music out of songs NOT sang on Friday.

Is there a Rugby game on today too?

Load of purple jerseys around

Yeah, terenure v clontarf in the aviva

Look, I'm not saying I believe that Bruce Springsteen has magical powers, or even that I believe in magic. But explain to me how else he got 35000 Irish people to wave their arms from side to side both all in the same direction and in unison? Because it's nothing I've seen on this planet.......
