Bruce Springsteen General Discussion Thread

I can give a little review.

Loads of Pros and one con:
Great setting, brilliant acoustics, great set list, big screens that I've never seen clearer, he came out with so much energy and was really enjoying himself and it. It had huge potential.

The con:
The audience. I have never seen worse. At one stage (during open all night) he was trying to get the crowd in the stands going and it just was not working and you could see the reaction in the band. I was standing just outside the pit and once I looked around to find that only me and my 2 friends were the only ones actually "in to" the show.

It will be the last German concert I go to, Frankfurt was something similar I found. For some reason the crowds here are just to reserved.

All in all I enjoyed myself though There was some proper good fun bits in it.

That's interesting. I saw him in Munich and Frankfurt on WOAD and they were both excellent shows, with great atmosphere. The Olympic Stadium in Munich, in particular, was one of the best Bruce shows I've ever seen, and a phenomenal venue.

I'm having a mental blank spot. Consider myself a dedicated Springsteen fan and was at both RDS gigs last year but what does WOAD stand for?

Ah, thank you. Not an album I'm terribly fond of, hence the lack of recognition.

Does anyone know what time he will actually start playing in Cork please? It says 5 for entry on the ticketmaster website but just wondering what time he comes on. Thanks

dendof

I'd guess between 7 and 7:30

hynesie08

Probably been asked but does anyone know if there's a bus service from Dublin to limerick for this? Quite tempted to head but have work the next day.

Does anyone know where the que for the pit in limerick will be, thanks!

what are the odds bruce will visit the munster musuem when in thomond and maybe get presented with a munster jersey ??

can see Brian Cody walking on stage in Kilkenny and handing him a hurl or kilkenny jersey. BTW if/when kilkenny reach the All Ireland Quarter finals it will be played on Sunday 28th July (the last bruce date in ireland) so id say the city will be rocking that weekend

Oh dear God. NO! and this from a KK supporter. Just too embarrassing.

In theory it might seem like a brilliant idea but it'd be awful if it happened.

Plus, a lot of the people there wouldn't have a clue who he is.

Will be split between yellow & red gates, both are for pitch standing

Work at stadium

I presume if one person has a ticket for yellow and one for red they can go in same gate?

I think Dmartin22196 is possibly querying where numbers and roll call will take place?

Expect Eamonn Gilmour and Co to jump on the band wagon and present him with a framed certificate showing his Irish roots ala Muhammad Ali, Barack Obama and Tom O'Cruise :rolleyes:

Same size as RDS last year, expected to reach the 10 or the halfway. Wont know for sure until stage arrives.
