Oh ffs. Please not that!

I've never been to a decent gig in Phoenix Park.

I'll cross my fingers and hope that if it is Phoenix Park or the RDS that there is also a chance of Páirc Uí Chaoimh (though I won't be betting on it...)

PTH2009 · 18-10-2019 12:21am

Never been to Phoenix Park for a gig, is it all standing or do they install temp seating

Would stadiums not be better for Bruce

He would sell out Croke Park twice again no doubt

Jerichoholic · 18-10-2019 12:47am

I honestly wouldn't go if it was Phoenix Park. There's literally no point at all. Just buy the download when it becomes available instead.

Same here.

If it's on in the phoenix park I wouldn't even bother trying for tickets

20 mins 30 in below.

"Yeah, we want the band to get back together. You know, I've got some songs that I've written for the band. I'd like to make a really good rock band record with The E Street Band and get back out on the road. So, we'll be seeing you!"

Is this an actual movie or just a long music video?

It looks like it is just two hours of Bruce performing autofellatio. Metaphorically speaking.

Jerichoholic · 21-10-2019 10:42pm

In that video Bruce announces that he's going to be a pro wrestler next. I'd like to see that.

I wouldn't do Croker again - sound quality was terrible. What's the sound like at the Phoenix Park?

PTH2009 · 21-10-2019 11:16pm

Looking at the link below they can do both standing and seating in Phoenix Park but could they not do a stadium instead

Sounds like someone threw a small radio into the boot of a car and you are a mile away trying to hear it.

Abysmal.

Wooderson · 22-10-2019 11:19am

Can only view this as a money grab from the promoter. Multi-night runs in the RDS far more appropriate.

Id say 2 nights in RDS , then one or two of the following Cork/Galway/Belfast/Limerick or Kilkenny

Miles better prospect than Slane/Phoenix Park.

Jerichoholic · 23-10-2019 8:44am

5 nights in 3 Arena would be far better.

For anyone around Dublin.. a couple of shows around the country would be better for everyone in the country..

adrian522 · 23-10-2019 11:30am

My inside info is that Bruce will play 300 nights at Vicar street and that tickets will be free to people who have posted more than 20 times on this thread prior to October 15th 2019.

However, you have to start queueing at Vicar Street now, where you will be met by ten of Bruce's Spanish fans who will write a number on the back of your hand. You can then leave the queue and return twenty minutes before the doors open on the night of the gig. You will take your place in line in accordance with your number. If there are others in line, you get to go in front of them, it doesn't matter if they've been queuing all day: you've got a number on your hand!

Not really, Dublin has the best transport links to get to from most counties.

Getting into Dublin is a disaster. And transport within Dublin is a mess. A major city and you can't even get a train or light rail to the airport.

Not to mention the price of the hotels.

PTH2009 · 23-10-2019 6:21pm

Hopefully we should knw more by xmas but the 2016 Croke Park dates were not announced til the February 2016

Atm no Slane, Aviva (possibly wont get a concert due to the euro games) and Croke Park concerts announced so far

And when you’re actually in Dublin? The nationwide tour he did on wrecking ball was special and could easily be done again!
Easiest access for the vast majority!

Getting to Dublin is definitely going to be easier than getting to Cork from say, Donegal, Carlow, Wexford.. etc. Not nearly as many direct links, and half the time on public transport you could even end up going to Dublin for the bus back out again.

Absolutely.

PTH2009 · 25-10-2019 3:02pm

Seen Bruce and ESB 4 times since 2012 and I enjoy them very much but would love to see something new this time round but what that is I'm not sure ha.

Will Bruce ever go done the visual route and have fancy backdrops etc

An idea I have would be he band for play for an hour and half and the rest of the show would be Bruce solo ??. I imagine this could be a bit impossible for a stadium crowd as they would no doubt talk over the quite songs

Cant see it happening. I saw 3 indoor shows on the Born in the USA run the audience wouldn't shut up during the acoustic Nebraska part of the set.

As for him making the show more visual, he seems to love a rock show with no frills and he's 70 now. It's been a while since he did those knee slides.

He did rehearse with just Steve, Nils and Danny before the Devils and Dust tour but ended up dropping them and touring solo.

PTH2009 · 28-10-2019 10:47pm

Enjoyed western stars, was quite different and was not really a documentary. Just short stories but one thing I found a bit hard was trying to make sense of the overall story. The music performances were top class as was the cover of rhinestown cowboy

Bruce is looking very well for 70 years old

I wonder will it be out on dvd soon

TCP/IP · 29-10-2019 12:24am

Saw Western stars tonight absolute masterpiece.
The Dolby atmos audio from the orchestra was exceptional.
Hopefully they release this on 4K blueray.

Outlaw Pete · 29-10-2019 9:21am

Both Stellas have a couple of screenings at the weekend and another next week.

If your a springsteen fan go and see this, I am thinking of going again.
I see there is a planned blueray release but cant see if it will have a full Dolby Atmos soundtrack and this music needs to be heard in it at least once.

PTH2009 · 29-10-2019 4:33pm

full film soundtrack on spotify now

It was up before the film. The film was excellent I really enjoyed it. Loved the cover at the end as well.

Listening to the soundtrack this afternoon, really enjoying it

It really is an album that grows on you.

I think Bruce had a lil bit too much of the Bubbly. He messed up all over that song.

No summer tour anyway. Bruce interviewed on Aussie TV saying they're looking at recording "relatively soon" and then looking at talking about a tour towards the end of next year "it may come up".

Possibly but I can't see them recording an album, getting it out, booking dates, doing US/Europe first and then Australia. They would really need to have dates booked now for a summer tour to happen.
