Yeah, Bruce seems to like getting attention. But, wow... that's pretty f'n crazy!

Think it's a sign of old age?

Is this Shepherd's Bush or am I just being completely naive and thinking I know the venue?

that's the apollo

It can't be. The Apollo only has one section of seating upstairs.

the apollo in harlem

Ahhhhh, okay. It just looks very much like Shepherd's Bush.

shepherd's bush is a bit smaller hmmm

Apparently some celebrities there (Ben Stiller, Paul Rudd, among others). Wondering what percentage of the crowd was actually listeners and not Sirius personalities/celebrities.

No still not decided but being honest i will more than likely have to run with Bruce for the simple fact its to much money to lose, but not going to decide for a few weeks , so time for a new UK show or festival to be added.

Ten Things To Expect From Bruce Springsteen's Upcoming World Tour
Rolling Stone - http://goo.gl/CrG7Z

1-9 above. Here is number 10

10) Wild stadium shows in the Fall. They haven't announced a single American date after this leg wraps up May 2nd in Newark, but Springsteen is almost certainly going to do a run of select stadium shows in the Fall. Word has already leaked out about plans for Wrigley Field and Fenway Park gigs. There will obviously also be shows around New Jersey, though it's unclear if they'll play Metlife Stadium in Queens, Yankee Stadium in the Bronx or Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Regardless of where he plays, expect the shows to have a more party-like atmosphere with less emphasis on the new material – so expect more visits from "Rosalita" and less from "Jack Of All Trades."

Thanks for the bootleg

Really need tickets for Manchester, but struggling to muster together £200 for a pair! Why must eBay touts exist! (and why did he have to announce a tour so damn close to Christmas ).

Anyway I like Wrecking Ball, think it is his best since The Rising. A few duffers on there but he does the whole upbeat pessimism thing really well on this one. Favourites are 'Shackled & Drawn', 'Death To My Hometown' and ''Land Of Hope And Dreams'.

i can't open that boot on my computer

That was the best speech I have ever heard. Bruce is such an amazing person, and it always impresses me at how real and down to earth he is. He's still the same guy he was before he became famous, never spoiled by success or fame. He's just...Bruce.

I love what he had to say about all of the old musicians and the music they created. Doo-wop, Roy Orbison, THE ANIMALS! That was my favorite part of the whole address. So inspirational.

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you

While I was watching the speech I kept saying to myself "Everybody in the forum needs to see this!". I personally love when he states that is music is what matter whatever plataform or device you use is totally up to you.
