    In a word, "genius"

    If you are going tonight (18th Nov and after); have an amazing time.

    If you couldn't get tickets; I feel your pain, it took 6 years to get mine for a gig in the point by the Boss

    One of the most amazing moments came when the band cleared the stage and left the tuba player alone to perform a 'call and response with the audience whilst Bruce play acted falling asleep at the piano with his guitar across his chest. The best vibe I've ever felt at a concert and the music was so smooth, just great.

    My dad asked me on Saturday afternoon if I wanted to go as he'd been offered tickets, I couldn't go as I had flaming lips tickets.

    Spoke to him on Sunday, I got the impression that he's never enjoyed a gig more.

    I saw him last week at the date in Antwerp. Phenomenal show. Pure unadulterated enjoyment - be it among the performers or the audience (who amazingly seemed to know the words of the Seeger material as much as they knew the lyrics to Springsteen's own material that was slipped into the set).

    Does it take a "genius" to put on a good show these days? If I had to sum it up in one word I'd say relentless. The pace barely dropped for the whole three hours plus and he never left the stage once. Amazing stamina for a guy his age. The band were excellent too, it never felt cluttered despite having so many musicians (especially acoustic guitars).

     I enjoyed the show, but I didnt really get into it that much. By the last hour I'd stopped caring and was just waiting for it to end, but there was still an incredible buzz in the Point.

    I'd seen the Flaming Lips the night before though...wasn't really in the mood for Bruce.
