Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

I'm just wondering why for this gig. I've bought tickets couple of times from Adverts over the past while. And there was never any problems in people selling them (or maybe there was for some).

But for this Bruce gig, nothing available. I'm going to pick up a cheaper ticket from Toutless on Sunday. But I was also looking at my options on Adverts. Toutless doesn't allow for new users - but thankfully I've been there for a good few years. It's some scam that people cannot sell however they want but obviously abiding by touting legislation. Ticketmaster pushing them in the direction that they want so that they can charge these ridiculous fees.

resale was technically illegal prior to digital tickets. Just impossible for them to identify resold tickets.
and I’ve yet to see a single show here where you cannot sell a digital ticket. Even if resale is disabled, transfer is always option

back online on TM, sold one for one of our group who can’t make it, toutless as low as €100 standing , sold it there for €100, and paid over/transferred in a few minutes.

Good news for anyone looking

“Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band” will follow the band’s 2023-2024 world tour, featuring footage from band rehearsals and backstage moments, conversations with Springsteen as he develops the setlist and archival clips of the E Street Band. The project is intended to complement Springsteen’s existing body of autobiographical works, which includes the memoir “Born to Run,” the live performance (and documentary) “Springsteen on Broadway,” and the films “Western Stars” and “Letter to You.”

I've been saying "this is the last" since 2013. Wise old owls keep telling me "he'll never quit". Theyre right.

Arguing with him will get you nowhere fast chief.

I'm all for people enjoying themselves at these shows, but the better than ever claims are pretty bonkers. Bruce puts on a great show still, and at 74 his passion and enthusiasm is admirable. He has slowed down a great deal in the last few years and his voice has been pretty ropey on the last tour and this one. Watching him live I often feel he should give himself a breather, but it's just not in his nature. He's an epic showman, who gives his all every night. There just seems to be more nights these days were the tank is running on empty.

Like I said Bruce and the E Street in 2024 is an amazing show. But compared to them on the Magic tour in 2008, it's clear to see time waits for nobody.

People are still making similar claims about the Stones in 2024, who have become quite lackluster live, with the exception of Mick! Perhaps the greatest rock and roll band of all time, but again, time waits for nobody!

Agree on the voice. It has got weaker but from some level. Was still on a high from the gig. After seeing him a good number of times, I feel I enjoyed the gig more then ever on Sunday. Thanks for the replies.

I'm still on a bit of a high after KK, I felt quite the opposite after Croke Park in 2016. Scrambling my brain to try remember a better Bruce+E St gig (for me) when it comes to overall enjoyment. Especially for clarity of sound, setlist, ease of getting into the pit, and not forgetting a stunning performance by Bruce and everyone on that stage (two dozen or so?). The great weather, venue and crowd (around where I was or that I noticed elsewhere) were relevant too.

Maybe the Tunnel of Love gig in the RDS a long time and many albums ago is equal for me, maybe an RDS gig around The Rising album time, but definitely neither of them was better, in my view, than KK on Sunday.

RDS 2008 night 3 was a barnburner - no debate from me chieftain.

Croker '16 was fab and a fair few alltimer performances, but for me the energy levels in KK with the old warhorses were in a different league. Because The Night/Rising/Badlands/Thunder Road - all mindblowing on the night.

Some productions holds released for Cork

ya, “restricted View” seats for €160 odd,ffs, loads for sale, €100 ish for standing tickets on Toutless, seats also.

I hope all of you going to Cork/Croke Pk get the KK weather, along with a storming performance. Am resisting the urge to try get a standing for Croke Pk, afraid it mght take away from my buzz from last Sunday. But the thoughts of hearing that powerful band at their best again, the songs that will be added/subtracted, and what Pogues song he'll do make restraint very difficult! Happy times to all seeing Bruce over the next few days.

Belfast show now available from nugs!
