  1. .. and about The Promise .. a wonderful version just passed through my ears .. Seattle 78
  2. Every version is a wonderful version
  3. Can anyone tell me why the hell you would go along to a Bruce concert and request cover songs (other than Bruce's famous or common covers that he made his own, Jersey Girl, Raise Your Hand, Trapped, etc) - Brown Eyed Girl (premiere was a sign request), Seventh Son, Hang on Sloopy, You Really Got Me (premiere sign request again), etc?

    I mean really, why go along and request an obscure cover? By all means request an obscure Bruce song like Iceman or something, but I just don't get the cover request thing..
  4. idiots that's who, people who shouldn't be allowed out. Jersey girl, absolutely, trapped, absolutely, raise your hand, while collecting signs. After that, no, never, stop it. He spouts the 'we were a bar band and we had to play covers' rubbish. They were never a bar band, it's a myth like many other he perpetuates and that band he's referring to is not THIS band. That band was the sancious/lopez version. If they were a cover band these wouldn't be premieres, most of the covers in let's say 74/75 were the same from night to night eg when you walk in the room etc. He's playing to the thick folk who don't know the likes of iceman etc but will bounce about to something they've heard a million times before but even then some of them couldn't tell you who it was by. You'll get them all jumping around to brown eyed girl or you really got me but how many would go to a van morrison or ray davies (the kinks might attract the tick off the list brigade so i'm not being specific) gig? two or three tops.Get rid of twist and shout, american land, this little light, shout etc etc and stop the messing about. If people are paying that amount of money they are going to hear his songs not satisfaction - go see the stones they whipped his arse anyway this year.
  5. Yeah I just don't get it. I'd rather hear 99% of Bruce songs than a random cover
  6. probably the same folk who would buy an xfactor/american idol/whatever talentless local show anyone gets crap cover version of 'hallelujah' but wouldn't know jeff buckley and even less leonard cohen if he knocked them down. Mind if jeff buckley knocked them down they should be straight on the phone to the pope cos they'd probably have witnessed the second coming.
  7. Yeah would be a worry if Jeff Buckley was up and about knocking people down.. Although I guess that brings in all the conspiracy theorists..
  9. "As we've been on break we've had a chance to look back on some of the tour highlights. Here's "This Hard Land" from our last night in Kilkenny. Best, Bruce"
  10. Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. God I love this man.
  12. "..we've been.."
    past tense ...
