Bruce Springsteen Thomond Park 2013 (Confirmed!)

phog

He's a top class performer, he performed rock solid for over 3 hours.

Never been to one of his concerts before but now I understand the hype.

I can understand his die hard followers wanting to get to the stage side of the pit, he really includes his audience, shaking hands, letting them play his guitar, taking song request and Ross with the Boss, happy 12th Birthday 26/7/13, lucky kid.

Omg after seeing the setlist I'm worried he won't do all the classics again on Thursday!! I hope he does Glory Days, Waiting on a Sunny Day and Human Touch! I want them all!!!

he'll defo do waiting on a sunny day...he does that in most concerts

Kind of answers why they camped out, not locals.

He mentioned the jockey JT McNamara, Limerick's win on Sunday and they being champions and sang My HomeTown, knows how to get a crowd going.

Unbelievable show, the best 90quid I ever spent and worth every penny.

It felt like when the floodlights came on after 10 he said feck that I'm going as long as I want. Incredible!

Can hear him here in Janesboro .

The atmosphere coming in the Ennis Road and straight up through town at 4:30 today was great .

I'm not the only Janesboro person on this so! :pac:
Was just by shelbourne park tonight, such a good show!

Clareman

I was there last night as well, great show, some performer, etc. etc.

It was my first concert in TP as well, I have to say they did a great job, massive queues at the bars, but they couldn't do anything about that, they couldn't have fitted more in. I was surprised at the noise from the stands down to the pitch, but the stadium is designed to have noise come from the stands to the pitch not the other way around. Hopefully they'll see this is the type of performer Limerick wants to see now

What a great night for Limerick. Kess and the Boss in the same stadium at the same time.

Jofspring

The only complaint I would have is the burger place inside at the back of the crowd. A friend had to que for well over an hour for a burger and chips. Started queig at 6:50 and got back to ua at 8:15. They couldn't handle the crowd at all.

I'm happy out with the 1, don't want to be comparing, wouldn't be fair, he'll probably play something in another concert that was missing in Limerick or something else. The weather was a great bonus as well though, couldn't imagine being on the pitch in the rain, although I can't understand people sitting down at concerts either.

i saw him in the RDS a few years back on what was the wettest night i have ever been at anything, and he started with who'll stop the rain. sun came out about 3/4's of the way through, and immediately broke into waiting on a sunny day

after the deluge we got that night I'm 100% confident the boss can overcome any natural obstacle, pints were filling up with rainwater quicker than they could be drank

dare i say it, it was possibly a better gig than last night? edit - nah, last night was better

zweton

great gig, was it just me or did I hear booing comeing from the stands at one stage?

I was in the stand, although down the front near the pitch. Fairly sure it was people chanting Bruuucceee. Kind of sounded like booing alright though
