The Boss!

I know Sheik has posted this before but it is also well worth a view. Very apt lyrics for today and shows the bond of brotherhood in the E Street Band

Thanks for that Ags, I'd forgotten about that. Quite haunting actually - what a rendition.

To lift the mood - my personal fave memory of Clarence:

The Eulogy from Bruce is very emotional

From the official page:

A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.

In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you--real soon.

F A B U L O U S ! ! !

Thanks for posting this GG. Hopefully it will be an Arena tour, and hopefully he's coming to the frozen north again!

I believe there will only be a couple of Stadium shows, Sunderland and Manchester, plus, a return to, ''London Calling''!
There maybe an extra festival show too? That is the current UK show list, hopefully more dates to be added?

Looking forward to hearing new music from Bruce too? The album is nearing completion with the title still yet to be decided?!? As GG has stated, all to be revealed soon!

Isle of Wight festival looks to be the only other date so far but quite a few gaps in the dates so hopefully a few more venues to be added??
Sunderland and Manchester are school days for us so it might need to be a hook up with GG at Hyde Park

[Sheik Yir Erse]

GG - did you not go and see him at the last Hard Rock Calling? Wondered what it was like as a venue? Can't say I'm overly fussed on seeing him from 3 miles away.

Wonder if he'll do T in the Park? He could support the Stone Roses

Must say I'm slightly disappointed with only 2 stadium gigs, and as Ags says both on school nights

[Govangirl]

Well Sheik, I absolutely LOVED it! It was magical and as soon as December 3rd arrives, I'm buying the tickets for the next one on July 14th!!!!!! I can't wait! Every time I play the DVD it brings it all back and I can see my wee pinhead face in the crowd and feel what I felt that night.

Happy Thanksgiving Day, Bruce!!!!

[Ags]

I am off to Glasgow first thing on Sat 3rd December with my girlie and her buddie to see Coldplay (Sorry GG but I am SO excited)!! Is anybody prepared to get tickets for Mr Ags and Me for Manchester/Hyde Park? Money will immediately be returned!! If its Hyde Park GG you know it will involve B+B and a wee blether too!!

[Sheik Yir Erse]

Ags - we're debating which gig to go to at the moment. If you're on Vodafone you can get HRC tickets a day before they go on general sale.

You just let me know hen and I'll get them when I buy my own - and B/B thrown in!

I know I am going to look stupid but what does HRC mean?

[Sheik Yir Erse]

Sorry GG, I get so many emails from Hard Rock through membership that I get numb to the fact that they refer to Hard Rock Calling as HRC - I lazily passed on the abbreviation!

[Govangirl]

What an idiot - I should have guessed that. I badly need to find someone on Vodaphone then!

[Ags]

I'm with Vodafone GG so I can get yours so long as you don't tell anybody why i am a wee bit late for my first class on Friday morning !! We haven't decided yet either Sheik. July is a bit quieter in the golfclub so it might be Hyde Park. Failing that it would need to be Manchester with me doing all the coffees at parents nights between now and June to get the day off! Keep us posted with where you decide to go Just going to email you a long overdue blether GG!!
