Well yes, we have have witnessed epic Springsteen gigs since the River tour in 1980, when he played Wembley Empire Pool. 2023 dawns with two shows in Hyde Park as part of the mega large British Summer Time' Festival.
There had been agony around the ticket pricing of the whole U.S. & Euro dates, the lack of complete set list changes and just the worry that his guy, at this age, can the show still be as good?
Well no, the shows are not the same, no Springsteen show is and yes, Bruce is becoming ‘The Last Man Standing’ but hell, he and the mega talented E Street Band can and did master a three hour show that leaves 80,000 attendees stunned into complete happiness with ear to ear smiles on their faces during and after the show.
The set list contains classics, reflections (as any anybody of his age has), Jams, and joyous sing-a-longs. Even during 'Mary's Place' with the lyrics, "let it rain" it duly did!
A concert for the ages never to be forgotten
