I saw him at Wembley on the Born in the USA tour. If last night was anywhere near as good then you would have been in for a treat!

I was there, haven't missed a tour since 1985. Last night was superb, good review in Telegraph

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...Bruce-Springsteen-Wembley-Stadium-review.html

I attended with a group of Bruce buddies from all over the country, two of them Palace fans who gave me loads of shit about how they were there a couple of weeks before.
I got my own back by asking which end of the Stadium they had.
Innocently they said the stage end.
Ahhh, I said, that explains why all the seats are empty at that section of the stadium, they are still disinfecting that contaminated end then.

I would hazzard a guess he was absolutely immense. The loss of Clarence Clemons must be huge though.

For the first first in my life, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up during Thunder Road. Incredible show,

Great review from a guy who is an immense Springsteen fan. His Biography "....Greetings From Bury Park" (see what he did there, Bury Park is an area of Luton) tells a fascinating tale of growing up in the '70's in a Muslim Bangladehsi family and finding enlightenment via the Boss through his Sikh friend (described as "...Chewbacca with a turban in the book"). Well worth a read even if you don't get Sprinsteen's music.

They did a lovely tribute to him during Tenth avenue freeze out, photo montage on the big screens...very emotional. Clarence Clemons nephew Jake Clemons played the sax and did an outstanding job although it's not the same without the big man!!

Even at his ripe old age, Springsteen's head and shoulders above nearly everyone on the planet as a live act.

I had a tear in my eye at the end of 10th, the ghostly images of Clarence and Danny, and it looked as if Bruce wiped a tear from the corner of his eye at the end of it.
So moving.
The Big Man died 2 years ago today on Fathers Day (18th June two years ago)

RIP Clarence, Jake is doing you proud

Can anyone explain why the floodlights were on for what seemed like nearly the whole of the last hour?
