    I think they're a fan group that travel around to gigs organising the pit on a voluntary basis. Dedicated :-)

    Live in the South Circular Road could hear him singing at least to make out the songs and a lot of the words. Sounded great

    I don't think the Boss did, but plenty of others have done it over the years.

    Good write up in the IT today

    http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/rock-replaces-ruck-as-springsteen-hits-thomond-park-1.1465803

    Not the best of shots from Press 22. Ken Coleman had a way better image published on the Limerick Leader

    http://www.limerickleader.ie/what-s-on/arts-entertainment/music/limerick-rocks-to-bruce-springsteen-1-5290872

    I'm not a die hard fan - got tickets for my DH and brought him to the concert but I have to say it was a great concert and I loved it. Also delighted that Bruce mentioned the hurling final as I saw Ollie Moran and Niall Moran on the pitch when I went to buy t-shirts so it must have been extra special for them.

    Loads of people had cameras around me anyway. By the way, people that spend a concert with their phone held over their head recording it have a new level of disdain from me, ffs, watch the show, if you want to relive it afterwards buy a DVD or album, don't decide to put your phone/camera up in the air to annoy other people

    Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. At least there wasn't anyone with an iPad using it as a camera, now that really does grind my gears

    Ah I know ;-) no probs, I understand what you mean, what's the point in going and then spending the whole time looking at it through your iPhone/camera?!
