Only played the entire River album on the American dates for Europe its the standard (if there is such a thing) set.
The Brighton gig was brilliant all those years ago

Seeing him at Wembley on Sunday! Best live performer out there!

Seriously chaps get a life - Bruce Springsteen is a decent fellow and has a good rockin band . But creativity , new songs ? No same old , same old boring middle aged mans rock . Brightons full of great new talent and bands playing every night and you still want to drive half way round the country to listen to the same songs you listened to last time you drove around the country to do the same . So saaaad !!!

 

[brianwade]

Hes quite good - but not that good . I saw the Stones 5 times over 20 years going back to the early 80's and they were generally shit hot . But thats enough . 35 times ? Why the fixation ? Maybe you should try something else for a change ??

 

[Withdean and I]

I was at Manchester last week. Travelled up from Sussex for it as can't make Coventry or Wembley. 3rd time I've seen him live. Saw him at Hyde Park 2009, Coventry 2013 as well. Been a fan for over 30 years though.
He is simply the greatest show on earth! His music and lyrics resonate with real working people.
The Boss!!!!

There were 2 gigs. He did 2 consecutive nights in May 1981. I was lucky enough to be at both of them. They are still the best concerts that I've ever witnessed.

1st Bruce concert was 81 at The Brighton Centre....since then been hooked.
Haven't missed a tour yet, and seen him Shea Stadium New York twice and twice at the San Siro in Milan.
I know people that follow him all around Europe on his tours.

I have a friend who has seen Springsteen in excess of 120 times. I've only seen Springsteen 3 times in concert.

The Brighton gig was indeed excellent. A sadly departed, very good, friend of mine couldn't go at the last minute. He gave me his ticket and his girlfriend for the night and sent me on my way to enjoy myself!

Me too - the Brighton Centre gig was my first and have seen him loads of places since. Three times on this tour is the plan.

Seeing him on Friday at the Ricoh, Coventry. I have been a fan for over thirty years, but it will be my first time live. Really looking forward to it.
