Springsteen 2024

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

I’m weighing up whether to stay in the UK a couple of extra days and go to the SOL.

Do it, loads of tickets still available (I managed to get my mate one just a couple of rows down from my seats on Friday)

Head a few rumours about the threat of trouble in town tomorrow.

Apparently the BJS (Bon Jovi Squad) have all their top boys coming out of retirement for this fixture....

I think we might need our wellies tomorrow, it is looking like a very wet one.

 

[AytonMews]

Glad I decided against pitch tickets in the end!

I have also put this on the other thread in case it impacts on anyone travelling to see Springsteen by train.

Train Services.

There's been an incident on the line between Middlesbrough and Newcastle and passengers are advised to travel via Darlington. This will impact on passengers travelling to Sunderland and the SoL.

RECAP: North East train services disrupted due to emergency incident

Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident near the railway between Middlesbrough and Hartlepool all lines are blocked

www.gazettelive.co.uk

Rail services in the North East are facing severe disruption as emergency services deal with an incident.

Northern say that services between Middlesbrough and Hartlepool/Newcastle are currently being disrupted due to the incident. Passengers are advised to travel via Darlington between Newcastle and Middlesbrough.

Road replacement transport has been requested to operate between Newcastle & Middlesbrough. Network rail and emergency services are on site.

Yeah, wouldn't fancy being stood on the pitch.
It was similar the last time he played at the SOL. I remember him laughing while he sang Waitin’ on a Sunny Day.

Of course he opened with Waitin’ on a Sunny Day* this time.

Edit: *tour debut, first time since 2017, sign request.
I wasn't holding the sign btw.

Fantastic gig. Really poignant version of I'll see you in my dreams to finish.

I loved Racing In The Street. Never seen him do it live before. Great gig.

Yep, if that’s him bowing out of live shows, then he went out on a high for me. The man is awesome for 73.

Just got home. 5th time I’ve seen Bruce live (or 6th if you include him joining McCartney on stage at Glastonbury 2022). Amazing setlist and awesome performance!

 

[Norman_Conquest]

We've just got back now after an excellent gig.

Just back. Only complaint would be about the morons who left the signage up for a lane closure on the A19 causing all the southbound traffic to bunch into one lane and as they turned the corner... no closure. Genius.

Traffic getting away from the SoL is poor at the best of times.

Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow, a real rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle

From Bruce to spruce.

Yeah, have to agree with that, and to make it worse we were stuck behind someone with the brightest brake lights I’ve ever seen. They were blinding, I’m sure you could have seen them from Scotland!

Superb gig last night. 3 hours on the belt, no break in ******* wet rain at 74 years old........absolutely amazing.

 

[RilloRed]

Loved the gig last night .
Sixth gig for me , but nearly a decade since last time .
He entertains so powerfully but also with such genuine warmth and humanity.
I get so into the music that at times it’s like a spiritual experience.

 

[Mr_Fridge]

A Brilliant evening last night watching a few old Americans wrapping up warm and being very careful on a wet floor.

Racing in the Street!
Light of Day!
Max speaks!
The rest of it!

Incredible stuff of course.

For the football, if you wait until the final whistle, the traffic has usually cleared.

Just cancelled his Marseille gig
My mate was en route

He’s a mag too - as if he couldn’t hate the SOL enough
