Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

Yeah he seemed to be out of key for a lot of it

For one without a ticket is there a particular street / road good to give a walk round tonight and hear some of the music albeit from afar ?

Brilliant Disguise....

Got here at 4.55. Good few pit passes left

IMHO, it's not a great song anyway.... I know they are telling a story and are including some songs because of that, but in a few years this one will be added to meh pile. There are better songs on that album if you ask me(Janeys got a shooter/power of prayer are 2 off the top of my head).

I'd agree somewhat with intermission theory about Kitty's Back /Candy/E Street shuffle earlier, but I think the lads were indulging themselves a bit and enjoying jamming up for ages with Kitty with the bluesy stuff. It also let them catch breath a bit and come back with their second wind, it's no joke belting out sh1t for 3 hours.

Feck, Racing in the Street... would have loved to hear that the other night, juat love that piano riff... I got a 59 Chevy....

Enjoy!

Waiting’ on a sunny day would be a rather appropriate opener this evening…😂😂☔️☔️

Was fortunate to be given a ticket to go again tonight. Similar set with a few changed out again. Really enjoyed again. I'm busted after 2 shows. Don't know how he does it.

Nightshift is just gorgeous, love death to my home town, Badlands so much energy. Could go on and on.

If I was to find fault Ghosts was ropey and Bruce & Stevie's chemistry wasn't what it was on Sunday.

Again grateful to see him twice.

Now I'm starting roll call for next year's gig in the sandymount hotel tomorrow at 2 🤪

I'm probably in the minority, but any setlist that includes/retains Kitty's Back and The E Street Shuffle is always going to get my vote.

Whatever about certain songs not being sung tonight the one thing for sure is it was not cut short! 28 songs and 3 hours exactly. Let's face it with a repertoire like Bruce's we are all gonna have other songs we would loved to have heard.

I was glad Trapped made a reappearance tonight, and that Thunder Road relegated Born in the USA.

I did think the sound was that loud that at times it was distorted, but that could just be my sensitive ears.

Can't understand all this speculation about him not touring again. Yeah he's 73 but the man is fit as a fiddle. Unless he has health problems I'm not aware of there's no reason he shouldn't tour again. Other posters on this thread have already said they know of inside sources who said there's European dates planned for next year. Bruce will be like Johnny Cash, he'll still be recording songs on his deathbed.

Incredible show, still buzzing this morning and trying to make myself concentrate on work is the last thing on my mind.

Nightshift, Johnny 99, The E Street Shuffle, Last Man Standing & Thunder Road are a few of the top of my head that were amazing. The pace he plays at is something else, one song after the next. Just brilliant altogether.

Yep, I'll see you in my dreams at the end was truly spine chilling - It had my OH and sis in law who lost their dad a year ago in floods. His preamble on George Theiss before Last man standing about the importance of living in the now (allied with a whole new meaning brought to Glory Days) really hit home to us that are getting on and have been following him for 40 years and wondering how (and if) he and the ESB can possibly keep going.

Last night I really came to appreciate anew how tight and brilliantly collective The E Street band are, both the combination of the old heads and the infusion of the new like Jake. I think for the first hour there was barley a gap between one song and the next, straight into the riff for another after climaxing one. Mind you along with the obvious wall of sounds of Badlands, Thunder Road and Born to Run, some of my highlights of last night were Bruce by himself acoustic (much clearer - sometimes in the midst of all that music it's near impossible to hear the lyrics!)

Obviously, with such a vast back catalogue there a whole lot more I'd have loved to hear (The River especially) and some less familar that I'd rather he'd omitted, but all in all a great night and great atmosphere (Great chatter and friendly interaction between fans both before, during and after on the pitch!) and had Spotify playlist to accompany us on the 3 hour drive back Westh!
