Who dueted on Because The Night on Friday?

PTH2009 · 07-05-2023 02:38PM

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

Hammer89 · 07-05-2023 02:45PM

Sorry if this has been asked but anyone have an idea how I can score late ticket for Bruce tonight? I've been told to hang around Madigans of Ballsbridge waiting to be offered one by a tout but it doesn't seem concrete! It might be the best option though.

There are some last minute tickets on ticketmaster just now.

musicmania · 07-05-2023 03:31PM

Luas to Connolly and Dart to Sandymount.

derb12 · 07-05-2023 03:47PM

Anyone know what time will the performance start?

About 7.30pm, based on Friday

dasdog · 07-05-2023 03:54PM

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.

polydactyl · 07-05-2023 04:39PM

Bands gone by 5ish at anglesea road group of 8 ahead of us 7/8 got them.

PTH2009 · 07-05-2023 04:39PM

Is there a Rugby game on today too?

Load of purple jerseys around

dobman88 · 07-05-2023 04:40PM

Pit passes secured. We can't make it in until around half 7 due to work but a mate managed to get us 2. Really looking forward to this now

I take it Terrnure won

The Rugby crowd are definitely different the GAA supporters

Sorry for the off topic

hynesie08 · 07-05-2023 10:02PM

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.......

delbertgrady · 07-05-2023 10:13PM

A top tier Bruce show for me. I was eight or ten rows back from the stage, practically dead centre. Great crowd. Perfect sound. No negatives. None.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120567942#Comment_120567942

Agree. All the negativity in here since Friday had me worried. But it was a faultless experience, even with the food vendors. We dont drink so cant vouch for the booze vendors. Had a nice crowd of people around us too and it was a brilliant show. Another tick off the bucket list.

micks_address · 07-05-2023 10:36PM

Just home. Went in about 435 red wristband standing yellow entrance, four of us, About 20 yards from stage. Excellent experience. Bit slow exiting but no complaints.. last hour was awesome

irish_stevo815 · 07-05-2023 10:44PM

I have soemhow always mossed seeing Bruce over the years but Looking forward to Tuesday now reading through this thread. Hope the weather holds up. Been at the RDS for gigs in 25 degree heat and in the pissing rain and always enjoyed the venue.

Probably zero chance but would love Radio Nowhere to be played.

Rain held off just till we walked out to car. Lucky out. Lad I was chatting to had been at all his shows in Ireland bar slane and going to these 3, that's fair dedication! He came on about 710 and played till close to 10 tonight.

polydactyl · 07-05-2023 11:08PM

Thought tonight was better than Friday but there are awful twats at these gigs…..”huge” fans but can’t even last two/three songs before needing more pints and then Returning to talk through more songs and leave again.

PTH2009 · 07-05-2023 11:15PM

What a gig, I actually felt emotional for some odd reason ha. Setlist was amazing and the atmosphere was electric for a Sunday night

It was an unbelievable encore with a lot ot 'the hits', maybe it was just the gap since 2016 but they sounded better than ever tonight imo

Loved 'Pay Me My Money Down' and 'Wrecking Ball'. The View from the Grandstand Block L is great

Let's hope this tour is not the last time Bruce plays here. I'd love to see him in the 3Arena

gar · 07-05-2023 11:16PM

Great gig, got in about 4:30 and got passes. No problem getting beer but last drink I got was at 6.

Set list nearly same as Fridays by the looks of it. Sound was great, crowd was great. One of the best of his I had been to.

RolandGoose · 07-05-2023 11:36PM

Really, really great to hear all of the positive feedback coming back from around the stadium! I did not wish to be negative about Friday's show, but the frustration and disappointment of missing out on a potentially great show due to diabolical sound was overwhelmingly infuriating and saddening in equal measures. I sat tonight out as a result, I couldn't risk that again! Glad everyone so far had a ball, and the reports seem like the E Street sounded like they should have!

I certainly get the vibe that this may be Bruce's last time around with the E Street, the show seems tinged in that farewell way. Be present in the moment, enjoy what we have because we won't have it forever. Despite the bitterness of last Friday's show in the RDS, I will fondly look back on the many great nights spent with Bruce and the E Street! The showmanship is one thing, but they should sound like one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time up there. That was certainly what came across in Barcelona! Thanks Bruce and the E Street.

Were ready for the last dance in Dublin!

PTH2009 · 07-05-2023 11:43PM

I'll be ordering the recording for sure

Grassy Knoll · 08-05-2023 03:09AM

A privilege to attend this evening, an amazing show from a singer/ band who know how to entertain. Close to 3 hours of non stop entertainment, well worth the fee. Never fails, legends all. They could have played to midnight and the crowd would have stayed.

Juanner · 08-05-2023 08:48AM

Anyone else see event security removing kids (with their parents) from the pit last night? They all had wristbands so someone had obviously let them in at some stage. Imagine queuing up, waiting for hours, only to have a bunch of child catchers in hi-vis vests swoop in and ruin their night. And these weren't kids in the heart of the crowd - they were on the edge near the exit and water station where the crowd was fairly loose. I know the tickets says 'over 16' but there's always been kids in the pit - some of them have even gotten to sing with Bruce in the past – so it seemed a bit heavy handed to remove them. It was hard to watch - anyone I saw with kids after that I let them know that the hi-vis crowd were on the march.

And of course once the gig starts and the cameras started picked people out in the crowd there were lots of kids on the screens. So how would you explain that to your kids after you'd been sent to the back of the field?
