  3. SEN-FUCKING-SATIONAL. One of the most enjoyable shows I've been to. Three and a half hours of a 63-year-old legend banging out majestic tunes with the fine E Street Band accompanying him.

    The requests were great. He took out those three: Jole Blon, Saint and Radio Nowhere. He did take Sherry Darling out from the crowd but it wasn't played. He must have forgotten. I'm annoyed as that is one of my favourite Springsteen songs! Clarence tribute during Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, but annoyingly no Jungleland. An eight year old kid came up and sang Waitin' On A Sunny Day for the chorus - that was a fantastic moment. Tougher Than The Rest was dedicated to a woman whose husband died. She requested it on a sign with a dedication to her husband on it too. Very great Rosalita too, well received from the crowd. So many memories over the last few hours, and I'm working at 9 tomorrow morning so I must sleep. Good night!

    Also, Sergio, my friend who was working on security only knows three Springsteen songs! He only told us that he heard him soundcheck and say the words 'My Hometown', therefore we established it was that. Apparently he jammed a 12-bar blues during the soundcheck too.

    I was trying to update the set for you guys via Twitter but Three (network) wasn't working because there must have been a lot of people using it at the time; so I couldn't get any internet connection at all for the whole concert.

    PS. Ronnie, there was a Ramrod request. Not played though!

    presume twist and shout and thunder road to end and a round of applause for kieran who got a great show.

    I like it. A little adventurous, nothing too daring, but miles ahead of the status quo. Although the lack of Darkness material is a little concering.

    And God, I just wish Bruce would forget about that darn Johnny 99. Other than that, looks like it would have been a great one to see. 1 through 15 is good, standard WBT and 23-27 is nice, back to usual encores, even if it is a little short. Starting to get back towards looking like an Aussie set!
  5. A "normal" setlist, right on time for saturday.!!

    Altough Bruce is sometimes unpredictable.....

    hahaha gotta love you despite all the whinning


    Now, seriously... If you were at a show and Bruce chooses to play a full album or play some songs you are not passionate about, would you really cross your arms and tap your feet in disgust, or just relax and enjoy it all? (not directed only to you, just to the general internet-geek fans of Bruce, U2, etc).

    I know my answer.
  12. i would be seriously fucked off (and this is not a joke) at paying around £150 for tickets and getting born in the usa complete, slightly less so for darkness, and a little less for born to run. Anything else turns up complete and i'm jumping for joy. My point is songs from those albums make up the majority of set lists anyway and even the ones that don't turn up that frequently (i'm going down or streets of fire for example) do turn up occasionally whereas say your chances of kitty's back are becoming remote and your chances of fade away are virtually nil. Secondly i think he's sending the wrong message out by relying on those albums alone. He's effectively saying these are my three best or most popular albums which personally i don't believe they are. Thirdly he's saying thanks to the fans for following us all these years/sticking with us etc and yet the hardcore/die hard call them what you will clearly don't want full album shows. Fourth, if he had advertised the shows as full albums people who are now travelling around after him but ending up often seeing the same show would have been able to make the choice of whether to go or not. Personally if he'd said at leeds i'm going to do a full album of btr,doteot, bitusa i would have chosen not to go.

    I would have no problem with u2 doing full albums as there are a significant number of songs on each either staggeringly underplayed or not played at all as you know. And if only to prove my hypocrisy further were i to choose a police set list it would have a full album, And if Bowie chooses to do full albums next year you will hear the screams of delight across there from here but that may also be because i know i'm in. And on that bombshell, the end.
