Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

Goreme

But then again, in Kilkenny there were support bands during the afternoon, maybe that's why the pit queue fiished early-ish (especially on the 2nd date)?

Aiken have already tarnished there relationship with Garth Brooks they don't want to tarnish it with Bruce.

They would be foolish to order lights on/power off if he breaks curfew

But Aiken have also done pretty severe damage to their relationships with the Croke Park residents over the Garth Brooks fiasco and might want to avoid the prospect of future opposition to gigs.

I wouldn't expect a lights on/power off situation, but I'd say they'll have been pretty firm beforehand in what is expected/permitted.

If it's 7:40 we're hitting 11 and over judging by sets so far..

Id say 7:15 ish..

(sorry multiquote on phone didn't wanna work this morning)

Sometimes he does a pre-show... 3 songs or so... a little while before the main band show.

Kind of disappointed he has stopped doing the River album in its entirety as it was my only hope of ever getting to see him play Stolen Car live, been to 30+ gigs and wanted to see the song that actually introduced me to him (long story!).

But still, nothing quite like Bruce summer nights!

Well if you're going both nights (like me☺) I think he'll do Stolen Car on one of them.Then you'll be happy gilmour!!!

Very sad and a very well intended effort by all concerned but I have to say I'm against these sort of petitions. Must put the artist under a lot of pressure and in a potentially awkward position. Hes not a jukebox.

I agree. Glory Days wouldn't be that uncommon so a fair chance it'll be heard.

Think there are food/drink and merchandise areas at the back of the standing area

The stands usually have there own food/drink places

On the cusack stand side the merchandise stand is located in the car park area just before you go through the turnstiles. Could be the same for the Davin side not too sure

Really hope there's no programme as I'm not dragging it around with me all night lol

The stage is up

So far on the European dates he hasn't played the full river album yet. Seems to be doing these gigs different to the ones in the states! Looked forward to two very different sets hopefully!

You'll get a pit pass wrist band, so you can get in and out at your leisure.

Yep, band confirmed a different approach a few weeks ago. The River still makes up a huge portion of the set, but it's no longer played start to finish.

Tbh, it must have been a little dull for a band known for their versatility and improvisation to play the same songs each night!!

There was a guy there dressed up as Santa so Bruce brought him up on stage and played it

Wow that setlist looks awesome! I cannot wait to hear Badlands, Working on the Highway and Because the night. I personally prefer Born to Run album over The River so the second half sounds very appealing to me

Lads we had a drop out and I have a ticket for Sunday available (at face value obviously) Where is the best place to try to shift it now?

Is it too late? I assume if we just take it with us we will be able to sell it easily enough on Sunday around the venue?
