Springsteen at Glastonbury, Some real music at last!!

[blue'n'white]

Can an E Street and expert tell me where Patty Scialfer was last night?

Probably at home looking after the kids !!
Thought he was great last night and I am just off to Hyde Park where I am ezpectant that he will be equally as wonderful. Lets hope some arsehole doesn't stand in front of me with somebody on his shoulders.
Then over to New Jersey in September . . . 2 gigs at the Giants Stadium before the wrecking ball moves in.

Just watching the Glastonbury programme from last night now, Bruce and the E-Streeters sound as great as ever. Theirs is the kind of music that works best on an epic scale with massive crowds, and NO-ONE is better at it than The Boss. Cliched as it may sound, he really does put absolutely everything into every note he sings, as does each member of the band with every note they play.

I hope he'll keep on rocking for a long time yet, although he's already had the kind of career than 99% of musicians could only dream of having.

Just got a txt from a friend who got to Hyde Park early to get near the front, to find it was already chokka! Not surprising really with the amount of die-hard fans he has

Just charging up my trusty Minidisc recorder for a bit of boot-leg action tonite

I know I am old, but Neil Young was awesome last night at Hyde Park and the encore - A Day in the Life by the Beatles was amazing as he was joined on stage by a 'fan' we thought at first, but that was a Mr Paul McCartney, rock and roll at its best.

Is the Hyde Park gig on the radio or TV tonight ?

 

[Sir Norman Gull]

Mrs SNG is already in place for tonight- awesome last night she was edging to the exit when Neil Young was playing encore when another person came on stage to join him when everyone realised who it was she rushed back to witness the person being Paul McCartney-made a great concert greater!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

I believe he played 2 and a half hours ? But then he does. Seen him live four times. AWESOME.

 

[Dave the OAP]

The boss is on BBC4 now...with steam coming off him!!!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Danny Federici RIP. Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band go together like cheese and chutney and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I have seen pub bands with drum kits bigger than the one Max Weinberg plays, difference is he really knows how to hit it. Fond memories of Earls Court 2000.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

As a rule anyone who is referred to as "the boss" or "gaffer" in any other capacity than actually being your boss or some bloke on a film set is gonna be a bit of a tool.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Blur are very, very average!

 

[Trufflehound]

every person, and I do mean every single one, I've spoken to who has seen him live rates him as one of the best live performers they've see.

I don't.

Hope that helps.

Went to Hyde Park yesterday, a great day of music. We saw just 2 of the support acts but James Morrison and the Dave Matthews Band were both pretty good. It had clouded over and rained for a while but nobody cared.

Pictures from Spingsteen at Hyde Park. Pictures are big, how do I make them smaller?

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

Gives 100%. Pure entertainmet but only stayed 1 hour. Never been a big fan but can take in small doses. Too samey and too polished for my liking but this man is a true pro and is not happy unless his fans are. Would not pay to see him
