    It'd be nice to have a good chat with her about what songs she'd have left off that album, and what outtakes she thinks should have made the cut instead... :rolleyes:

    What? You need to be an expert now to wear a t-shirt? Sometimes the elitism on this thread is very off-putting.

    It was actually meant from the perspective that if you actually encountered Ms. Wilde in a Springsteen t-shirt, you'd be unlikely to thread together anything more coherent than, "Uh... I like Bruce too...", rather than attempting to kickstart a nerdy conversation about said album. It was not meant as any slight on her "level of fandom". But I see how it was interpreted that way.

    This is utter rubbish. If I met Ms. Wilde in said t-shirt (or any other attire), I'd be unlikely to thread anything more coherent than ""Uh..." before giving up and copiously drooling. Please get your facts right in future.

    :D

    I'd tell her that it's clearly Al Pacino on that T-Shirt, and she should take it off immediately...

    Great DVD, though the order is a bit messed up, they have DVD 1 which is an attempt to fit an entire gig into 90 mins then DVD 2 contains a lot of what they had cut out.

    Some great performances though. 10th Ave freeze out is absolutely epic. and the whole New york/New jersey banter is class as well.

    Well worth the price of the dvd.

    I've heard a rumour from a reasonably good source that a 30th anniversary gig for Slane in 2015 is a possibility. I wouldn't bet money on it yet, but remember where you heard it first :)

    Very possibly unless him and MCD have signed a contract etc . Think Bruce would def make me head back to Slane . Would love to get my parents tickets for it since my dad went to see him in 85 but the massive walk into the venue might put them off

    It's not suitable at all, it's not 1985 anymore. I'd go for Bruce but I'd still rather go to any other venue in the country to see him, as the rest don't involve 1.5 - 2 hours walk either side of the gig, severe traffic problems, endless queues, etc etc

    Cant see him playing Slane would say its more likely couple of night in the Rds and maybe up to Belfast. Do think that it will be 2015 before we see him again in europe

    Fair point but if you get one of those shuttle buses from City Centre it makes it handier

    That's very true about the buses. A 70-something year old family friend who wouldn't be at all sprightly went to Bon Jovi this year using the standard bus, and didn't have any difficulty at all, much to my surprise.

    Good news, tonights show at the Rock in Rio festival looks like it will be streamed live on the Rock In Rio You Tube channel. Bad news, its scheduled to start at 4am.

    In the meantime, here's Portuguese Bruce opening the Sao Paulo gig last Wednesday

    Last year one of the concerts in Lisbon was to be streamed live and it didn't happen think they just released 4/5 songs the next day up on you tube similar to what happens at Hard Rock or Isle of Wright last year
