BRUCE

The Boss at Wembley, last seen in Sheffield in 1988. Atmosphere was magical, all love Bruce. Of course average age was over 50, lots of bad taste t-shirts and proper queues at the bar.

I forgot to get tickets early on the day of release so ended up in the 5th tier right at the back, but thought never mind the screen will be large and sound loud and clear. Well I was right in the first and very wrong on the second, sound was pretty awful. Couldn’t make out much of the sings, and I am a big fan. However wouldn’t have missed the experience for anything; he played Cindy’s Room and Thunder Road to finish on acoustic guitar, alone on stage. Won’t see him live again so perfect way to finish for me.

That is it for Stadium shows, Bowie and Prince are gone, only left Bruce and that is done. Back to the small intimate and unknown mostly (that means exciting and risky).

Though next up is Ben Folds so not so unknown…or risky come to that!
