I'm going, have enjoyed his shows over the last 25 years.

As I am not a stalker though, I don't really care where they are staying....

I heard he'd booked into Hammersmith Travelodge - got a family room to save money the tight ****.

Why dont you just go to the concert and see them all there?

Seen him twice on a UK tour many years ago. One of the best live performers I have ever seen.

I'm pretty ambivalent to most of springsteens music, but I saw him at I.o.W festival last year and was blown away. Truly amazing live act.

I thought they were banned from the Linton in a row over plate size.

Did anyone go?
Reviews in the papers are pretty impressive for a 63 year old, hope he lasts until Thursday at Coventry.

Very good. Great to hear all of Darkness, and acoustic Thunder Road a nice touch to finish the show....

Really looking forward to seeing him in Leeds now.

The whole of [i]Darkness[/i] in a tiny venue would be great.

Crazy concert girl we know got there for 10am (yesterday?) and was 1068 in the queue.. ffs. She does lots of concerts, and apparently she says the Springsteen fans are amoungst the craziest - hourly checks to see if you still in the queue & if not, you loose your spot! (other queues just number themselves & as long as your around generally, thats fine)

She's going up to see Robbie's show tomorrow evening, and is starting queuing tonight!

Just awesome.

Springsteen is well known for not having a set playlist, his band are suitably well rehearsed that he just calls out the songs as they go along. Proper Musicians. At Hampden in 2009 he did a sing back with a10yo who was on her dads shoulders at the front, the effect was pretty amazeballs.

Was a wee bit dissappointed with the Hampden gig. The band were great but the sound was iffy and the setlist wasn't as good as recent gigs. Basically the audience have placards with song names on them, he wades down into the audience every so often and grabs 3 or 4. He then brings them back onstage, shows them to the band and then they play them. Very impressive.

It was a 9 year old last night, and a girl with "I'll look good with your guitar" written on a card.
I know it's what he gets paid for, but the way he does it, and the fact that he seems to love doing it, makes it very special.

I'll help out by using the ticket ... or if you know any one with a spare at realistic money

Otherwise I'll be outside very early with a Begging Board like I saw last night ...

[b]1 TICKET WANTED ... NO TOUTS[/b]

Rolling Stone magazine reported on the Coventry gig, saying he stopped after doing [i]The River[/i], and said that he and the band would be doing the whole of [i]Born To Run[/i], for 'our great friend', in tribute to James Gandolphini. What a gig to be at!

sadly I am giving up hope of getting a ticket for Leeds 🙁

I have a budget of £150 cash waiting and it seems it is no way near what I'll need to get a ticket

checking the Get Me In site this morning they start at £245 each for a pair or £275 for a single ticket

Still have fingers crossed I'll get REAL lucky on the night but some how I doubt it
