Re: Springsteen concert....
I saw Bruce Springsteen play Roundhay Park,Leeds, 1985. One of the more memorable concerts I've been to ( still got the ticket stub at home ) It was around the time of his 'Born In The USA' album, so he was pretty hot in the charts those days. Approx 80,000 people in Roundhay that day, some estimate it was a whole lot more due to a few thousand gate crashers.
It was a legendary four hour gig by the big man, backed by The E Street Band-so if he's still on form , be prepared for a long day!
Co-incidentally, it was also on the same day that a 17 yr previously unheard of German , won the Wimbledon Mens Singles.

Springsteen was responsible - thumbs up, hands down - for the three finest live performances I have ever seen - and I've been a concert goer since 1972.
The sheer power and energy of the guy - combined with a brilliant bunch of musicians - has never been exceeded in my experience.
I hope old age hasn't withered his performance.............. it's certainly affected mine..........

Re: Springsteen concert....
One of my kids is doing "We are the world" at assembly next week and we've been watching the clip on youtube. Everyone looks so strange and 80's but have to admit I didn't realise at the time how absolutely delightful Springsteen was back then........must be age creeping up on me.

My hubby's best concerts were before 1972...Uriah Heep. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Humble Pie were just a few.

Re: Springsteen concert....
I didn't see the word 'huh' when I first read that, and thought it said 'he hadn't been alive since 1972' !!
If that's the case, he must be on the turn now I would have thought !
