I paid £55 - in 2005. That was pretty pricy at the time, would have to think with gig inflation that'd be about £200 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lot, but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree. He went through some dark times post-Nebraska, so I wouldn't see him as in a hurry to re-work material that he's since recognised as significant to his very existence.

NorthernSoul52 Posted October 30 Author Report Share Posted October 30 1 hour ago, The Nal said: Yeah the highlight of the gig. Heard him rehearse it for an hour in the queue. I think he actually did play Spirit in the Sky. And John Lee Hooker. Yeah, he soundchecked Boom Boom, didn't he? I'm not going to lie, I remember seeing the physical print copy of the setlist for Dublin #3 in 2023, when the show felt at its most static. He had The Ties That Bind, Racing In The Street, Ramrod and Jungleland all on there. Kind of insane that he was toying with that kind of old-fashioned break then.

Electric Nebraska feels like the next holy grail to be fair. It exists, but it's whether we see it in Bruce's lifetime or not, I think. 2 hours ago, The Nal said: He says it's the album that represents him the most so maybe he doesn't want to dilute that with the full band version. True, maybe a compilation of live versions from over the decades then? Could even just do it as one of those Spotify albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted October 30 Author Report Share Posted October 30 Might even be a version of that up already. I'd imagine most, if not all Nebraska tracks, have been played with the full band by now at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the Broadway, Live in New York etc and it'll probably get to the full album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted October 31 Author Report Share Posted October 31 Looks like our boy has been hitting the campaign trail plenty before Canada kicks off tonight. Sadly, I don't think it'll get her over the line. Four more years of a criminally troubled narcissist at the top then, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Looking at that setup, there's a ramp between the pit and seating - is that for Bruce? Also, can't help but think those on the floor are going to have to stand if they want to or not given they're on the same level as those in the pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted November 2 Author Report Share Posted November 2 Didn't do Manchester that year, and remains one of my few gig regrets. Think he played I'm Goin' Down, which is on my hit list. Went to Coventry instead, so I could take my parents, and got Drive All Night, so complains are kind of irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
