Obviously, we agree to disagree I was born to run away from him When was it he played Murrayfield? Was it the other week, a few days after Harry Styles? It was mayhem traffic wise for a few days I think. Ravelston residents would have been crying into their Pimms I hope it was a blast, mate. It looks like it probably was 👍

Where does time go? 11 years since I saw him at the Etihad M/C City stadium. You certainly get your money's worth with him.

I don't mind some of his stuff - in short bursts, so a gig'd be no good for me! He's one of those artists who I often find I appreciate more when somebody else has covered their material. I feel much the same about Dylan too.

I can't really even do a critique of any kind because I've never owned one single track by him. Because I've not been that keen on any that I've heard. I haven't disliked any, just never actively liked them. Although I did quite like Streets of Philadelphia. Not enough to buy it though. Covers? I suppose we all know Cadillac Ranch now but if Quo hadn't covered it, I'd never have known of it's existence. Apart from the hype surrounding Born To Run back in the day, which I remember well, Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band was probably my first introduction to Mr Springsteen. Didn't understand a word of the lyrics. Must read them again now I'm all grown up But there is no doubt as a live act, he's up there with any you care to mention.

Can't knock him to be honest,he gives full value for your money and he's not interested in a Vegas residency. Just to say while we're on the subject. Sod off Adele, what a nerve you've got with your fcuking miserable once in a blue moon "I've fcuked my husband off again" CD'S. "Come to see me in Vegas"...go and fcuk yourself!

I saw the Boss once, on the Born In The USA 1985 tour at Wembley stadium. Brilliant He did 2, 2 hour sets

And while you’re at it re: Manfred Manns version of that song….whats “..and little early burly gives my anus curly whirley and asks me if I needed a ride” supposed to mean?

apart from seeing Quo in Edinburgh in 1973 supported by Savoy Brown, the 2 Springsteen concerts in Brisbane were up there as the best ever
