Springsteen confirmed

[benisright]

We are in for a treat.

[daveinafield]

Oasis fans say the same.

And at least Oarses don't play the blandest middle of the road american rock.

i think some fans of acts are obsessive but i am obsessive about music in general i would rabidly defend any legitimate talented act being attacked by people just going for it to upset or make themselves look cool...i would obssess about hundreds of acts, Radiohead...Springsteen...Strummer...Dylan....Marley...Guthrie....Beatles....Who

...Kinks...Levellers..........Motorhead....The Specials...Pink Floyd....BB King....Franz Ferdinand....Snow Patrol....Faithless....Ozrics....U2....Joy Divsion....Dead Kennedies....Buzzcocks....Led Zep....

mindless... cute...

if you really want to equate this to god botherers, what you and the other non-believers ( ) are doing, is the equivelant of hanging around the church on Sunday, and nit picking with the punters who are happy enough with what they have, but you seem to have trouble accepting, and pretty much telling them they're wrong...

as I say, songs are pretty important to me too, but a performance is what I want from a live show. A great performance can make up for ordinary songs (Wild Thing by Hendrix for example), but a lacklustre performance will never be compensated by great songs (his Bobness..??)... for me

[The Nal]

So what you are saying is that Bruce makes up for ordinary songs with a great live show? My position is that can't polish a turd. I'm sure the reality is probably somewhere in the middle.

[sifi]

A turd?

Get the first few albums and give them a listen. His recent stuff isn’t as good granted, but you rarely get that from a near 60 year old.

[sifi]

but you like the Pet Shop Boys ...

[eFestivals]

My position is that can't polish a turd.

Fantastic analogy!

Thats not bruce at his best

thats the crowd at its best. A crowd we'd never see in england.

[sjc1000]

As usual with the headliners, if you like him, go and see him. If you don't, don't. If you are unsure, I would recommend you seeing him but that is just my opinion. Simple as.

he one thing that is complete rubbish is the whole Americana, tubthumping thing that has been spouted by numerous people on this thread. This is just misinformed nonsence. If you don't like him, fair enough.

[ferraristu]

Well I dont give a shit what anyone thinks ! He has been the the soundtrack to my life since I was 15, am now 40. Have seen him 12 times live, Have always wanted to go to Glastonbury, have watched it on TV with a bottle of wine so many times wishing I was there !!

Well guess what - 2009

Finally get my wish - am going to Glastonbury

Will be seeing my hero

Only thing is - my mate kate who I am going with thinks he is a shortarse American tit - so I have had to concede all other band choices to her hehe

Anyhow - I think people take themselves a little seriously sometimes!!

Intend to have the time of my life xx

Maybe even better than seeing Micheal Schumacher winning his last ever European race at Monza in 2006 ???

F*ck me - I cannot wait
