Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

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

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.

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

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!

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.

That was an amazing show last night, the tempo never dropped all night. If it was my last one to see live it will be a happy memory. Organisation was top class have to say

I was in the pit for Friday and Sunday, and while Friday was still a really good show, Sunday was another level. I think it just started with more of a fire than Friday, and it didn’t let up until Kitty’s Back. Few more drunken eejits around than on Friday which was annoying, but only minor in the scheme of things! I’m going again on Tuesday so hoping we might get a tour debut, given the changes made last night!

Glad everyone had a great time. I loved Friday. No sound issues from where I was in the pit. I moved from the back centre to closer to the front for different parts of the gig.

I know I've been to rds gigs before where people found the sound poor further back or in the stands.

Really great atmosphere on Friday, great to see so many happy faces

So this was me and my kids (12 and 9). We know the tickets said over 16's only but, yes, we were chancing our arms! No one said anything on entrance, no one said anything when they gave us all the pit passes and we were there for 2 hours before we were approached. The option was to go to a terrace at the back or leave and get a refund (as if that's an option and as if you'd see your money back from Aiken!). Kids were crestfallen. So we went to the terrace, there was NO other kids there. So we stayed there for 5 or 6 songs and went back to the pit! Nothing said. Kids had an amazing time and everyone was so nice to them. And like you said, lots of other kids around.

I was there on Friday night as well and the sound was atrocious, it got better about halfway through. Last night was a far superior show, slightly better set list but the band and the crowd were well up for it. Incredible performance, I don't know how he does it. So happy that it was the kids first concert. All downhill for them now 😂😂😂

Fair play - great that you got back in. i hope that the other two families I saw did the same thing. Was it flagged as a safety thing or what was their reasoning?

Really enjoyed the set and the band sounded amazing but I have to say, the crowd where we were standing last night were absolutely shocking. There seemed to be a lot that were just there to drink and talk and had no interest in anything that wasn't one of the 'classics'. The constant aggressive shoving as people streamed out to the bars was unreal.

I'm glad everyone in the pit had a great experience and we have passes lined up for tomorrow's show so hopefully it'll be better crowd-wise.

Yeah Health and Safety was the reason given.

Just stay well clear of the pit rats up the front

🙄

Health & safety, insurance and event licence rationale.if a Drunk Bruce falls over onto a kid in the pit and injured them who do you think will be sued!

I met a dyed in the wool Kerry woman last night in her 50's who'd been at the rail on Friday. She was in the pit last night but didn't get to the rail. Lovely woman but was really into the pit numbering thing. To my astonishment she said goodbye to me midway through the second last song so she could start queueing for Tuesday.
