Maybe I should splurge on tickets this time, since it's not clear what the next big tour is going to be.
I'm gonna try for them, but yeah probably will sell fast or be too expensive, so setting my expectations accordingly
I gave up because it didn't even say how many people were waiting ahead of me or how long it would take haha
I’m just going to wait until the 2022 tour. I’ve listened to Springsteen on Broadway a hundred times, but I cannot splurge on it right now.
My dad has seen Springsteen like 27 times in his life. I’m forever sad I never got to see Clarence play in the band.
I really enjoyed that piece, and it was a pleasant surprise seeing it as a the Sunday review. I think Born in the U.S.A. tends to get underrated by Bruce fans because of how commercial it was, so I loved seeing someone really delve into some of the things that make it more interesting and special than might meet the eye.
Side 2 especially is gold. I wrote about this album a few years ago and why I love it so much. There's a lot of nostalgia and friendship in those side 2 songs, and those themes always really resonated with me. 33-45-78: Bruce Springsteen — Born in the U.S.A.
Looking forward to reading this Craig! I have incredibly fond memories of the album too - My dear dad who passed away last year loved it, and I grew up hearing it on numerous car journeys and Sunday afternoons One of my favourite memories is watching Bruce in Manchester stood next to my dad - the first time either of us had seen him live and him coming out to 'No Surrender' Just magic.
Sorry to hear about your loss. "No Surrender" is a song that means a lot to me, for a lot of reasons. Kind of wild to know Bruce almost didn't put it on the record!
