Put it this way - there's a reason most of the people in this thread are spending hundreds to see him for upwards of the 10th time. You'll love it.

I know someone the was a Barry Manilow super fan and saw loads of his shows, but more people seem to chase the boss.

I’ve bought two seats without any confidence I can actually go, I’ll only be looking for face if I can get the ducks in a row. I’ll try and remember to give you a shout 

Ta la!

This will be my first Bruce gig, I hope it worth it. 

 

Finally got to see Bruce and the E Street band in Dublin last year, absolutely amazing. One of the great 3hrs plus of music we've seen. I counted and reckon there was (including backing singers), 17 on stage....superb 

 

As an aside, and I while I know a few of his batter known songs, wouldn't be a fan, but Sam Fender does a couple of brilliant Springsteen covers on YouTube. Maybe sacrilege in this thread 😬

He did a great acoustic cover of Dancing in the Dark when I saw him in Newcastle too. I think he's great, love The Dying Light purely because he's bringing Bobby Jean to the younger crowd!

I really like Bruce but I've resisted getting tickets during this tour just because his Glasto appearance was so epic and special to me that I don't think any following experience would live up to it. I'd only see him again if he did Glasto again, I think.

I understand what you say, but why deprive yourself of more special nights? You never know, you might even enjoy it more than Glasto

Wembley 1980 was my first. Amazing set climbing up speaker stacks and jumping off whilst still playing

Conversely, this I think is the weakest Bruce show I've seen, which is totally relative to what other artists call 'weak' but when Outlaw Pete is the 'epic' and not Jungleland....  

 

If you can, go see another. I look back on the shows I've seen, and they all seem to have their own character, there's not really a sense that it's the same old show (although maybe on this tour...?).

Dunno if the setlist was especially noteworthy (barring maybe a Bruce'n'Roy solo Thunder Road to kick off a la Hammersmith 75) but Hyde Park 2012 when he had Tom Morello in the band and brought out both John Fogerty and Macca was a huge d@b up.

That was a great show on a typical summers evening in Manchester!

I'm sure it would have been great, if I'd been able to hear it.

Was going to say something very similar! Got a great spot for the start of the show and...couldn't hear a thing. Went to the very back and could hear it slightly better, but it really was a bad night. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It was OK where we were.  Not rattling the fillings, but decent enough (for Hyde Park)

Oof. Yeah remember reading that setlist. Full band Incident still on my to see list. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Opening with Born to Run, what chad behaviour. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Coldplay also pulling this move at G24.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Loved when Macca announced the boss as a guest and they belted out glory days

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fear it might be the last time to see the man on the pointed one.
