same here...I think it might be a browser issue. I've tried chrome & FF but not Safari or IE.

MWNN - Just seeing reports that Bill has passed away.....
That is sad news. Jake will be on a plane home soon and will probably miss the rest of the Oz shows. might be back for NZ shows but I doubt it.

Ed Manion will have to step up and do some of the sax playing. Ed plays mainly the Baritone sax but also plays Tenor sax. Clarance played Alto and Tenor sax and I assume that's what Jake mainly played.

I don't think we will hear Jungleland or Backstreets again this tour if Jake isn't around.

Worked both Melbourne shows in front of the stage (pit crash barrier) off to the left. Have to say it was an awesome show to listen to, the man has plenty of energy to go on that long and keep it at a high level. At one stage on Saturday night about 11pm I saw Gudinski looking very unhappy as Bruce kept on going with no end in sight. Wonder what he would have thought come Sunday night when he went even longer! I was quite happy though as I was getting paid by the hour :)


The bloke that collapsed at the start of the evening Sunday, from what I was told he were taken to St Vincents Hospital and was okay.
Which left....in front of Stevie?

Having the same trouble, read on whirlpool that some got it working by using their mobile phone or Safari

Working for me on firefox, just disable adblock plus on the website

There are official pics from Sat night on the BS Official site...but not Sunday....does anyone know how where else to view them?
Wait 2 or 3 days and it will be up. Its been happening all tour. The photographer has probably taken 1,000 photos and somebody from Bruce's managemnet - maybe in USA, has to go thru them and pick the best 12 to 20 photos to put up on the website.

Fair chance I am sure I was in one or some...he was pointing straight at us in around DinDark as there were blondes popping up on shoulders all around.

have a look at the story dates and the concert dates on this page and you will see there is 1 to 3 days difference between concert date and day photos go up. Plus the date is USA time.

This is Jo Lopez who seems to be Bruce's official photography for the Wrecking Ball and High Hopes Tour. So if this guy was near you you might have made his collection - but Bruce's people will choose what goes on his website.

Better start saving...

Bruce Springsteen thrills Melbourne
Springsteen’s long time manager Jon Landau said the band “loved the return” to Melbourne, where the rocker first played at the Showgrounds in 1985 on the Born in the USA world tour.

“They loved AAMI Park. They loved the atmosphere. And most of all, they loved the audience. We all can’t wait for the next time,” Landau said.

Last year Bruce promised he would be coming back to Oz at Sydney 2, 3 and Hanging Rock 2 that I definitely remember. he didn't say it would be 12 months but he said it wont be as long a wait as last time. He promised at HR 2 that he would go to Perth and thank the 5,000 to 10,000 people from Perth who travelled to his shows. He might have said something about coming back at the Brisbane 1 and Sydney 1 but I can't remember it.

He didn't say anything about when he would be back at the end of the 2 Adelaide shows. Has he said anything at the end of the Perth shows or Melbourne shows? ManWithNoName paddy18 UpForGrabs Gasometer ????

Melbourne 2 he said "We'll see you next time". I noticed it because he didn't say it at any Adelaide or Perth concerts.

He definitely said he would be back soon at Brisbane 1 last year.

Pretty sure he said something like "we'll be seeing ya!" at Perth 3 but I'll check the audio later and let you know.

At the end of Adelaide1 and AAMI Park1 he said "We'll be back tomorrow night,,.." :D

Seriously though, I don't remember him saying anything at all in Adelaide except that he looked kind of sad when walked off stage on Wednesday night...he seemed to linger at the top of the stairs for a fair while before he walked off.

Can't see him coming back for a while though, which suits me just fine. I feel that we have been incredibly spoiled and getting to see him and his amazing band 9 times in less than one year has been beyond my wildest dreams (and way beyond my bank balance). Time to save some money and put in that new kitchen that I have been promising the wife for a couple of years.
