How Bad is Springsteen

[Tugger2k]

Totally different animal on stage than on record.

"10th Ave" on record for example is dreadful whereas live it is one of the best tracks you'll ever hear.

The Pyramid field will be packed. You won't be there. Both are good things.

End of.

Thanks for that. Had a listen and confirms my worst fears from post #1. Are there people out there who will seriously look forward to watching Springy at Glasto. Can understand playing at a footy stadium when all devotees can go along but my oh my strange choice, especially if Ny is also another of the headliners. Nothing will compare to 2003.

[Red Day]

ha ha.. crazy talk again. One day you will eat your hat.

2003 pales into insignificance when held up against 97

The Saga Holidays coaches have always been quite discreet

Springsteen fans defend their man? I wonder how many posts a 'radiohead are shite' thread would get?

[Tugger2k]

I might even go and watch the old devil if it doesn't clash with owt I really wanna see.

[Red Day]

Because this sort of light hearted banter is good fun! I'm sure that there are Springsteen fans that are not in the pensioner age bracket, but it wouldn't make for a very good jolly if I posted that. I might even go and watch the old devil if it doesn't clash with owt I really wanna see.

[Tugger2k]

Should we start an aguement on this point ??

its one of my 3 favourite performances of all time - the sheer awesomeness of that gig is difficult to put into words without inventing new ones

I know what you mean!!! I loved it!

Just out of interest what are your other two favourite of all time?

[Jens Wildman]

Radiohead next to Springsteen is a dwarf under the shoe of a giant, if that is the argument for some reason?
