😄 Me and the Mrs would be happy, maybe another 20 or so people.

 

I'd be delighted!

As fans it's great, but most people there were casual fans at best, so the atmosphere was pretty much dead until Born to Run. I was front pit about 10 rows from the front, can only imagine what it was like further back...

 

Hungry heart, Born in the USA, Bobby Jean, I'm on Fire probably would've helped but even then, with a 2 hour 45 minute set, it's probably just not the right place for him. I've learnt that by taking people who aren't that interested to see him, they just get very bored. 

 

Id still be unsure if he played Glastonbury again, and I definitely would encourage those who go with me who have only a passing interest to go elsewhere 

 

The atmosphere was electric where I was stood (not particularly close), and there were very few leavers (I know because I was dying for the loo and would've gone if it was gappy 😂). Just shows how different the experience can be. I'd recommend him to someone who'd never eat his stuff and expect them to be converted by the end.

Wouldn't you have thought they'd have picked a few different shows for the songs instead of only focusing on a couple?

Bruce Inc. have done the zero expense spared approach with this. It's just the tracks available via Nugs.net with no extra work done. Random selection of shows that things have been taken from too. 

 

The album on Spotify seems to be selected to mostly match the movie e.g. the Backstreets footage is also from Hyde Park.

It's the people who have heard his stuff but don't like it that aren't converted I find!

Aim high I guess! 😆 If we start negotiations there we may get 1 song.

Having watched Road Diary now, I noticed that Tucson Train was on some of the setlists that were knocking about when they were rehearsing in the theatre in Red Bank.

Still remains bonkers, in part because very few surprises on that level seemed to then emerge at all over the rest of the tour. I wonder if, had he not been forced to break after Sunderland, the rhythms would have further changed.

So Young & In Love, Janey Needs A Shooter, If I Were The Priest, Frankie Fell In Love, Rainy Night In Soho... all rehearsed the day before the Cardiff show and all appeared at least once on the tour. I think we got all of those over the course of the tour. What would be really good is for the section from Backstreets onwards to be shaken up a bit, even if it's same songs in a different order.

They were performed, but they mostly came early on, didn't they? After the Sunderland break, things calmed down again.

First look at Jeremy Allen White.
