Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

WOW!!!! Bruce is in Easons O Connell Street! Was going around unrecognised and looking at books. My friends and I got a picture with him then people started to notice him and he got mobbed!

Got a text from someone who is in line. They were handing out pit numbers around 450 after 9 o clock this morning.

What is the deal? Do they hand out numbers in the queue in the morning and then you can go away for the day? Or you just get the number and have to stay in the queue until the gates open?

niallon

System for tomorrow is numbers are being given out for an hour or two straight after the gig tonight in the Simmonscourt car park and first roll call is 8am afaik.

But when you have a number, then what?

I just need to know if I can leave, finish the working day, and then go back in with my number and be allowed into the pit.

Queued at 12.30 and got 998 and took my name.First 1000 in first line and then there was to be another thousand in next line but that wasn't filled by time I went at round 4 which I'll fill you in bout now.

After got number was warned I had to be there at 1.30 for another roll call and then 2.30 for final one and wait for wristband for pit.

If you miss when your numbers called they mark you off the list.

They skipped the first roll call today as were caught for time.

Got hand stamped at round 2.30 and got wristband round 4 and told I could go away and comeback later then if I wasn't bothered bout being near the front of the pit.

Once I'm in the pit then I'm a happy camper!!

Was told it's 3000 people in the pit now if that's true I don't know.

So there's my experience of it anyway.

oncertking has it right as to what happened today, as for tomorrow you'll need to be around for the first roll call but as regards going to work, I'd imagine the second roll call would be around lunchtime and if you're not present, you're off the list. You're only guaranteed pit with a wristband which wouldn't be given out until at least three I'd imagine

Decky87

Are you allowed cameras in?

bennyl10

won't be there til 3 tomorrow.. time enough to get pit?

niallon

In the pit anyway, noting is checked. Not even a pat down. Bring as many camera as ya like.

run_Forrest_run

now that is a setlist! Even if a lot of other bands/artists wanted to, could they manage to play a 3 hour live show with such quality songs?

the_blackstuff

Going to this tomorrow. Can't wait. Hopefully the set list won't change to much but knowing Bruce it will.

Decky87

Based on that set list how do you think it will be for 2moro nights show? First Bruce concert.

Shando316

What were the site conditions like? Reckon wellies would be necessary for tomorrow?

Pitch completely covered

the_blackstuff

So long as he doesn't drop born in the usa like the last time around i don't really care. Hopefully add radio nowhere. Really love that song. It was rumoured somewhere u2 might show up as well but don't see that happening

Glory Days, Thunder Road and maybe the E Street Shuffle, which they soundchecked today but didn't play.

Tombo2001

great show, I've seen the last three tours and he certainly played this one with a lot of energy.

Wont pick out particular songs as so many class ones, but one thing that stuck out was some class guitar solos.....especially Prove it all Night....
