Thanks for sharing. I don't think we are likely to see him singing Brown eyed girl with the Honeymooners anytime soon.



Another perspective .....

Lots of bald spots in that crowd.

A cast of 598767 on stage at the end....hope for me getting on stage Saturday night.

I'm flying to Melbourne for the Thursday show but my travelling companions have had to be late pull outs. So I have two standing GA tickets going for cost price ($250 each).

Send me a PM if interested.

Getting pumped reading all this talk of his shows as he makes his way across the country!

They were selling signed copies of Born to Run last night, taking pride of place in my signed editions bookcase now. Assume this is the case at all shows.

In the US he did bookshops for $200 odd personal signings.

 

[Gasometer]

How did back of stage go last night?

 

[Gough]

It's a sticker, but still. I think it was only $50.

Saturday tipped to be 31 degrees with a late change...and maybe rain.

Oh.

You're dreaming.

Nobody is going to pay full cost when there are still plenty available, and even more at less than cost.

Sell them for $50 or $100 and cut your losses.

Ha really? I must confess I hadn't checked and assumed it was sold out. Bugger. I'll take best offer, whatever.

Went to the show last night with my old man who has seen him on his last 2 tours. One of the best shows I've ever been to, loved every minute of it even though there some songs I didn't know but still got into. We sat behind the stage near the corner but were first row so I was pretty stoked.

 

[Gasometer]

So has a line started for Melbourne Thursday night yet?

I did actually!

First time Ive seen that, cant believe the harmonica is on our dining room table. The whole thing is still not real.



Got my paw on the big screen........

The Honeymooners explained in The Advertiser's review of the show

And Adelaide managed to generate its own special moment, that Springsteen began to doubt even as he started asking questions about the four curiously dressed fans near the front. “This doesn’t sound like it’s gonna work ... There’s all these people dressed up as The Honeymooners, but nobody knows who the f ... The Honeymooners are,” he laughed. That’s gonna blow the whole thing.” The Honeymooners, Springsteen patiently explained to the crowd, was a hugely popular 50s American sitcom. “And for some reason, you have Australians here dressed up as The Honeymooners. And being that this is a very relaxed kind of evening, they have a sign saying “let Norton and the Honeymooners sing”.

So he did.

Adelaide radio legend John Pemberton, who was dressed as Ed Norton, joined Springsteen on vocals for a cover of Brown-Eyed Girl, while his brother Rick (Ralph) played piano, and Chris Crago and Jan Greig (Trixie and Alice) jived away on stage. Pemberton later explained that he hatched the plan three years ago, when Springsteen and Van Zandt laughed and pointed at a Honeymooners T-shirt that he wore to one of the 2014 concerts. He correctly surmised that the show was a favourite of Springsteen’s, and perfectly executed his plan, sharing vocals with The Boss on the Van Morrison classic, which he also knew was a Springsteen favourite. The whimsical interlude set the tone for the rest of the night.

Bruce was not real happy with him messing with his mic.....

Pemberton drank just a bit too much of his own bath water.

Ford Fairlane do you remember Pembo on the radio?? I remember the name but can't remember his voice or that he was a singer.
