Springsteen, Part IV

Setlist watch. He hit 30 songs in Oslo.

I never thought we'd see Springsteen do 30 songs or more again.

Quick, someone get me a ticket to one of the Giants Stadium shows. Hell, I'll walk to NY if I have to.

You don't have to walk. You can ride with me, baby.






































Oh, wait, I'm gay. Uhhhh, let me retract that.

Thanks for the offer anyhow!

Any other takers?

I'm gonna have fun with this embedded video feature.

This is a decent sounding Summertime Blues.

I think I should get a pair of free tickets to the Harley Davidson gig in Wisconsin because I'm from Wisconsin.

And free plane fare.

I mean, how can you argue with that logic? It's bulletproof.

I don't have tix to GS/NJ, (low $) so I am going to take the special bus out there (and back) just to I can hear it from outside. I have got to hear some of Magic live!!!
Maybe I'll have extra luck~~ when I did that for his Shea (The Rising)shows ( I'd gone to the GS earlier in the summer), some one gave me his extra tix, after he left. I saw 2/3rds of that show inside.

 

[dazzledbylight]

OOoooo~~~embedded video !!!

i'll catch that tomorrow!

~*thanks*~

Aw, hope you get to experience one of the shows in some capacity!

This 30 set show does not bode well for any hopes of a future E Street tour IMO

BUT JESUS CHRIST! 30 SONGS?!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Aw, hope you get to experience one of the shows in some capacity!

thanks!

Ok, folks, a question.

I have GA floor tickets for the Nashville show. How does GA work at a Springsteen show.

Is there a pit or elipse or inner ring? Or is it all together? How early do people go to wait online? Is there a wristband or number system so people can come and go or what?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

My Springsteen ticket for August 18 arrived

It's a smaller venue, so I'm not too worried about being in the top section behind the stage I'm just happy to be seeing the man at all!

 

[corianderstem]

Anu, from what I understand, you show up at some appointed time and get a numbered wristband. At another appointed time, they draw a number, and then start with that number to decide who goes in first and gets into the closer area.

i.e., they give out 500 wristbands, you get number 300. They draw a random number as the starting point, and let's say that number is 299. You, my friend, are then GOLDEN, as you are second in line.

 

[Anu]

Okay, thanks! So there are appointed times for getting wristbands and for lining up? Is this a venue by venue thing or an all-springsteen-tour thing I wonder?

 

[corianderstem]

I believe it's a venue by venue thing. Good luck!

 

[phanan]

Yeah, it varies. You might find some info. on it over at Backstreets.

30 songs also in Helsinki last night. A friend of mine was there and described the concert as "magical". Too bad I couldn't be there

 

[Anu]

With these setlists and such, I am really excited. Anyone else have a GA experience from the other US arena shows earlier in the tour?

 

[phanan]

Hewson and I were in GA at the second Boston show (Danny's last full show). While we didn't get into the pit, we were on the rail and it was still pretty damn awesome.

Yes. Obviously in the pit would have been a tad better, but it was well worth hanging in the line after "losing" the lottery to be able to grab the rail outside the pit. The distance to the stage is still not much, you had something to lean on while waiting for the show, and the sightline was very good as most of the pit patrons are squeezed towards the stage, so there's not a lot of folks immediately in front of you.

Oh....I remeber they did that for actually getting tix for Bruce/E St when we were standing on line at Ticket Masters [RIP TOWER Records] 10 years ago or so- before the Net became big enough to do the on-line sales.
We ended up being pretty close to the random number chosen!

IIII was in the pit It was fairly mind-numbing amazing

 

[Anu]

Will the setlists remain long when they return to the US? What do we think?

 

[phanan]

Good question. It's anyone's guess, although the fact that there is only a week gap would hopefully keep things going as they are.

 

[achtung_girl]

yeah sure!!
at least I hope it for you!

 

[U2democrat]

If I get to hear him play Atlantic City I will be able to die after having live a fulfilled life

 

[achtung_girl]

^ I recommend a request. mine was played too!
