Bruce Springsteen

Apparently there were meant to be 16 shows, but they stopped at 13 for time constraints.

So one more in Sydney Brisbane and...? A third in Sydney?

Perth, Sydney and Brisbane.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Perth, Sydney and Brisbane.

FOUR shows in Perth? That would've been ludicrous.

 

[Cruyff14]

Just what I was told, and on good authority too.

I know some other things too but I am not at liberty to say

 

[ManWithNoName]

If it's another new show and I have to change another flight, I'll be joining that guy in suing Frontier.

 

[Cruyff14]

It's not a new show. There will be no more.

I could have told you that without my source anyway.

Sorry mate, I can't agree with you on this one...boring as batshit for me...it
just goes on and on. Freaking easy to strum along on the guitar to it though.

Lucky we all tolerate each other's different tastes on here (even though I still can't believe you don't like Independance Day).

Cheers

I know Sirius in the USA have or at least they had a Springsteen only station, but when did they have one in Oz or does the daughter have the wrong facts. But Sirius are all pay satellite digital radio stations.

"He loves Bruce. He owns a T-shirt, all the albums. He even bought a digital radio so he could listen to the Springsteen-only station."

Sydney and Brisbane 2nd shows would have been in the mix and probably a Sydney 3rd in the original plans. But the first shows were slow sellers. Are they officially sold out yet? Looked at the start of October and still could get (average) tickets.

Listen to lyrics. Very sad.

It's not that I don't like it.... it's just meh.

It was a fourth Perth, and a second Syd and Bris.

A new album is coming.

"My source" lol

Details or GTFO. When is my Brisbane ticket drop coming, oh wise one? Will be spewing if I'm flying back from NZ for a show I don't have tickets for, haha.

 

[Cruyff14]

Haven't even thought to ask about that.

What I have told you is correct though. Trust me. Not like I'd come on here and make shit up for the sake of it.

This Springsteen and I from 3 women in Israel I found on Wednesday night. The open few seconds is a bit confronting and I'm a bit surprised it didn't make it.

it's precisely those opening seconds that didn't see it make it and rightly so...

 

[Cruyff14]

Think I posted it not long ago, but this is definitely the best version of Backstreets I've come across. He takes it up another level with the passion.

And look at him go during the solo! Wow!

Was listening to Hunters G Hits this week.

That will be an awesome set.

What a treat we are in for..>!

Yeah, I've been priming the kids (ages 9 & 7), showing them Hunters Youtube clips and playing a heap of their tunes on the guitar. They are very,very impressed with H&C and can't wait for the 16/02. Teaching the young bloke Holy Grail on the piano so we can play it together. You are right, it's gonna be a sensational couple of nights.

 

[Cruyff14]

Couldn't really care for H&C.

Would rather pre show.

Yep, was listening to 'January Rain' and 'When the River Runs Dry'....great lyrics...1990 IIRC.

They used to do the Uni Circuit in the late 80's. Some unforgettable concerts that were forgotten with amber fluid.

3 years ago JB-HIFI on-line had the Hunters 16 CD box set that originally sold for about $180 go for $50 inc postage. It was my Xmas present to myself. It is like a little chest of draws, 2 CDS in each draw.

About 5 weeks ago on a quiet Sunday arvo I played their first four or five CD's straight. Got to finish off the rest soon.

Just watching Springsteen & I and have too say that the chap with the Madison Sq Garden is my favourite.

Brought a few tears watching this..ordinary people with beautiful stories...and then I saw the Blood Brother's clip!

The Blood Brothers clip is the highlight of the whole movie IMHO....I've never seen Bruce so emotionally vulnerable as when when he sings "so many rivers crossed". Great, great song.

 

[Cruyff14]

I have it on very good authority there is a new album on the way.

Like I said....

 

[ManWithNoName]

Not sure if it's already been posted but this is awesome. They get a request to play a Chuck Berry song, the band doesn't know how to play it, so Bruce tells them how. On stage. In front of a full arena.
