Ha, I think this thread is pretty funny. But as for being tired at 56, you gotta check out recent pictures of Bruce.... he's still damn hot! ;)

Speaking as someone in the 18-25 age group, I was even surprised to see how many kids across Europe were at the 2003 Springsteen shows, it was often mostly 20 - 35 year olds up on the pitch, all the oldies at the back. The US has a slightly older crowd, but there are still a lot of kids, about...

LOL... didn't Bono duet with Britney amongst others on 'What's Going On' - now thats something to be embarrassed about. ;) It's been said before... it's cool to dislike Springsteen, hells there are many artists who I rip on - but unless you get your facts right before posting that Bruce can...

LOL, I did spot a severe attempt to stir - hence my ;) ! But hey, I couldn't resist a chance to retaliate. Well, I went to pretty much all Bruce's shows on the last Euro tour - Sweden actually had higher demand than the NJ shows, many people were shut out for two shows at Ullevi Stadium - not...

LOL, thanks - you saved me typing that all out.... Never heard that one about Springsteen milking 9/11 before, you're obv stirring things up as everyone knows most of the Rising wasn't all about 9/11 right.... that My City Of Ruins was written about Asbury Park and he lent it to the Tribute to...

I think the value thing just comes down to how much you like the artist... it's a very individual thing. That said, even when I was most into U2 during the Elevation tour I did get bored with the lack of changes in the setlist, it was very much the same show and I only went a handful of times...

Considering Bruce Springsteen's 2002/2003 Rising Tour was the largest grossing tour of all time you are only showing your ignorance. I think the fact Bruce sold out 10 consecutive dates at the 50K capacity Giants Stadium in '03 in a matter of hours shows he is playing theaters to give fans a...

U2 are rumoured to be doing two songs at the Meteor Music Awards next Monday - hope so as I have standing tickets! Think they've already recorded the album as they were in the studio for a few months so keeping my fingers crossed they'll release it during the tour

Tribute version - one of the most amazing performances they've done!

Have filled an entire CD crate with singles and albums, and imports. As for mp3s and stuff - have no idea but I certainly ran up a huge phone bill downloading them!

Think were getting something new as the single... about time!

Still don't know what this thread was!

Haha! Going to all the UK and Ireland shows (not accepting the fact they don't exist!) so I'll keep an eye out...

Saw the artice about the dates too - but I don't believe we won't get UK and Eire shows as Bono's promised to play Belfast this year. Then again the article did originate from 'The Sun'....

At the second Slane show Ali was standing at the front of the heart between the stage and the crowd - she's actually really stunning. If I ran into any of them around Dublin I wouldn't say anything - sure they get enough stares in the street as it is. Also I'm not actually jealous of Ali/Ann...
