Bruce Springsteen

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Jeez it's frustrating when you have so called fans who talk through songs they don't have any idea of.
Was standing very close to a group who talked loudly all through This Hard Land.
Decided to move rather than tell them to shut the f..k up which I was very close to doing.
Not sure why people get tickets when they know only a handful of songs.

I've found over the years of seeing loads of shows at both stadiums and arenas, many people act differently at stadium shows. It's seen as an event, rather than a concert.

I would take an arena show over a stadium show any day.

Stadium shows are always full of drunk idiots and people who only know the hits and talk through the lesser known songs.

I generally dislike the Entertainment Centre, but it was great for Bruce.

It is ok if you are up the front on the floor.

The seats are horrible the corporate boxes should be up the top like every other arena in the world.

Having people behind the stage adds to the atmosphere at the arena shows imo.

Yeah I get that but it is frustrating when they shriek and talk loudly during a song they don't know.

As much as I love him...Little Steven doesn't exactly bust a boiler...just putting it out there.

That's his shtick.

He was ******* awesome in Sopranos

He was ******* awesome in Sopranos

Agree, but I reckon he was better in Lillyhammer being the star of the show and having a bigger part.

David Chase the creater, head writer, director and producer of the Sopranos wanted to make Stevie, Tony Soprano, but Stevie said a proper actor should do it. Chase saw the following speech by Stevie in 1997 inducting The Rascals/The Young Rascals, as they started out, into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and based on this flamboyant speech, his presence and appearance, he said he wanted him in the Sopranos despite him not being an actor and asked him to audition.

This video shows why in the 3 shows in Adelaide I have decided to stand in front of Stevie. You always know you are going to get a few faces pull and plenty of laughs and interaction with the crowd.

An incredible show. One of the best I've seen - probably top three. Had so much fun and an infinitely better show than Thursday.

#51 for Sydney.

 

[Cruyff14]

Youngstown, Prove It '78, Serenade, My City of Ruins and I went mental during I'm Goin Down.

Brilliant.

Thought Thursday's was better, but we all see things differently.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah each to their own. And I'm a little tainted

Everyone I've spoken has agreed last night was by far the better show.

I reckon where you stand or sit and the people you are around, ie just as big a fans as you and get into as much as you drive how much you like one show compared to another one.

 

[pjcrows]

It's great that people have different opinions on which shows were better etc. It means he can cater for a wide range of audiences and still nail it.

Definitely mate.

was one of the friendliest gigs I've been to, no security presence at all in my section still everyone drank a lot while minding their own business and just having a good time.

usually you get one or two people who ruin it for everybody else and have to get thrown out.

I thought it was great how the two girls kept bringing out the big cups of water during the sets up to the start of the show. It was appreciated!

I am GA up the back.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

GA up the front, although i'm not doing any lineups, roll calls, ballots or whatever else is planned. There was plenty of room at the back of the pit last time, so I'm hoping the same again. Can't wait..although the weather forecast is looking slightly ominous (hot with late shower).

Long tiring weekend coming up, as I've got to get back to Lorne for a Nipper's carnival by 7am, with a full day on the beach on Sunday looking after a bunch of Under 13's.
