  1. At least you've got a couple of days to recover, back to back and travel is a killer (particularly if you've got serious health problems at the best of times, sunderland to manchester plus crap weather did me no good last year). Born to run i guess is the best of the three choices as you do get meeting and jungleland. I still hope i get a normal show plus i just wish he wouldn't say and now we're going to do ...... that way the serious fans get the realisation of what's going on and the very casual fans aren't really in on it. Good luck in milan I hope you don't get incident (cos i think it's only coming out once and you know where i need that to be).
  2. thanks friend .. i will take a contrary sign .. "no Incident" .. even though i risk my safety when people around will see it hehehe

    ps: luckily San Siro is close to my home
  3. for god's sake don't take a sunny day sign, croatians, eh, can't live with em (certainly can't work with their husbands - i used to - it's a long unpleasant story), take a sign for zero and blind terry.
  4. I don't reaaaaaaaally get all the fuss over Incident.. Maybe I'm just spoiled seeing as it comes out at 40% of my shows.. But I'll take it over pretty much anything from BITUSA!
  5. listening to hanging rock second night i very much understand your thoughts on the beginning.

    i think incident has a very loyal following and outside of that most people would wonder what the fuss is about. If i was forced to choose my favourite song it would come down to that or the much more obvious thunder road - on 99% of days though i'd go with incident now. It was for many years one of the great lost songs live, only appeared once on the river tour, never again until 1999. It had a brief spell in 2007 where it almost became a regular event but it seems to be vanishing again. I'm with you all the way on born in the usa, strangely i don't mind dancing in the dark as it is what it is a hit for the encores and downbound train is welcome anytime, and i wouldn't mind a few more cover me's and an odd i'm on fire. darlington county and working on the highway i could happily never hear again i just don't get why they are so frequent. Bobby jean and no surrender are clearly joined at the hip but should be on the subs bench in my opinion. Born in the usa really has had it's day as a song, glory days seems to be done on autopilot plus it's another song like darlington and working where he can mess about for ten minutes with false endings etc etc. I don't even know why i'm going down was on the album given what was left off and my hometown was very much of it's time.

    +1 to just about all of that.

    I do have a very soft spot for Bobby Jean though, and Downbound Train is one of my favourite songs. Other than that though, never hearing anything from BITUSA again wouldn't particularly worry me.

    I love Incident, but to me, there are better epics for Bruce to play (Racing in the Street, Backstreets)..
  7. And Hanging Rock 2, what a start... I could have left happy after those four. To get Adam Raised a Cain > Candy's Room > She's the One > Something in the Night as the opening sequence, wow. Then Bruce went and gave us Incident, Because the Night, Jackson Cage and (I love the Rising record) Lonesome Day into the Rising and Rosie came out in the encores.. Pretty amazing show in my book.

    it walks all over any of the european shows i've heard so far - the sound is ok on the recording as well so i'd suggest a download to anyone, see a few posts back.

    padova and napoli recordings are on the horizon.
  9. God I chose a couple good shows to see on the tour. Finally a band comes to town on a tour and I get to see some of the amazing shows they do, not just ok ones!

    I think U2's Brisbane shows were pretty outstanding, but alas, no recordings have arisen yet for me to make sure they were really as great as I thought.

    Still think the tour should have finished up over here.
