1st night Vel Holland

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-06/vel-holland-snoggs-the-boss-feature/5243722

Long-time Bruce Springsteen fan Vel Holland has achieved a 32-year dream to dance with her idol at the musician's first concert in Perth.

The 63-year-old from Balcatta was invited onto the stage by Springsteen for Dancing In the Dark, as part of the encore at the rock star's WA debut.

Ms Holland, who has been worshipping the Boss since Born to Run was released in 1975, is still basking in the euphoria.

"I snogged him and I wouldn't let go," she said.

"I told him I loved him with all my heart... and I always will.

"And he said, 'I know'."

Ms Holland, who has a room in her townhouse dedicated to Springsteen, told the ABC before the concert that her ambition was to dance with Springsteen.

She says the musician has seen her through some tough times.

"No matter what comes and goes in your life, like friends, relationships, there's one thing that's still there all the time," she said.

"I love him better than anybody."

Ha how good is this?

I felt so sorry for the other night on the 7.30 Report when she was resigned to the fact that she would never get invited up on stage.

Dreams do come true!

I suppose he has done it sometime with the full band live...? It is such a beautifully constructed song musically.

Sadly, as I thought it would be, last night was the night with the most flogs in an audience I’ve seen at a Bruce gig. With it being the first gig in Perth ever to go on sale, every man and his dog bought a ticket. I saw people being thrown out for fighting (who the hell fights at a Springsteen gig?) and a lot of the “PLAY GLORY DAYS” crowd. Unfortunate, but inevitable. Hopefully the audience tonight is more civil.

Fighting...whereabouts....and flogs in Adelaide....you are shittin us!?

 

[Beetlebum]

Whatever he was going to play last night was going to be good. The show was epic.

There's songs I'd have loved to hear (including the ones that people are often slagged for wanting to hear) but it's all good, I knew that whatever he chose to play was going to be terrific, regardless of what album it came from, or for that matter which artist he chose to cover. Bruce is a master showman as well as being one of the all time greats of rock music.

Spent most of the night with my Australian arse on my Australian seat, because Australian back hurt like hell all week. Didn't stop me clapping and singing like a complete tit for 3 hours though.

I did think when I booked for Friday that "concert goers" rather than the hardcore Bruce fans would dominate the audience, to be honest the atmosphere where I was was pretty good, people genuinely enjoying the show. Sure tonight for those that are going will be just as good.

Two women were fighting in the pit. One got thrown out.

I hope it gets played on Tuesday night...and Wednesday........and then Melbourne.
