No doubt you’ve heard both San Siro gigs postponed along with Prague and Marseille last night. Gutted for you but at least you saw him in Cardiff as I did in Cork. What with the American postponements earlier in tour, I don’t think any Bruce gig can be certain from here.

The live version at the Garden is spellbinding

I saw him perform that at Shea Stadium at the last two nights of The Rising Tour, 2003. Brilliant song and such a moving true story.
The NYPD police were so upset about him playing it that a lot who were in the audience got up and walked out in protest.

I've seen him 38 times since Independence Day at Wembley in 85.
Greatest show was San Siro in 2003, a typhon happened in Milan,5 songs into the show. Never seen rain like it, so they played Creedence song Who's Gonna Stop The Rain. 70000peaple in the stands and on the pitch. Floods blew all the subway power and street lights out.
Favourite songs, too many to mention, although Born To Run sounds as good and fresh today as it did 49 years ago.
Hungry Heart got me into Bruce originally.
"If I should fall behind" video with the band all at the mic is awesome
This song means so much to me and Mrs HS, played this on a loop when I woke up and found out that Clarence had died.

Too many to choose from - amazing how many great intros there are. I was lucky enough to see him last week. Unbelievable how he can still do a three hour set with no break. But also most of the E Street band are about 75 as well

The River is a superb song - brilliant whilst being utterly miserable!
my nomination for one of his later songs is House of a thousand guitars - also a mention for his cover of Chimes of Freedom

I didn‘t wait for the end of the football - just turned the TV sound down from 3-0 and started with Bruce on the iPad - now fully committed.
Genius performer and bloke. Loved the story about donating 20k for the miners when over in ‘84.
Born to Run/Thunder Road for me but so, so many favourites.
Seen him twice live - outstanding always!

Not a big fan, confess to finding his music as hard to like as another icon - Joni Mitchell

I accept that both are very very good at what they do but neither “does it” for me :shrug:

Springsteen is either too dirgy or too shouty for my ears. If push came to shove it would be There Goes My Miracle
