That Southern Hospitality!

I just got an email from Philips Arena thanking me for attending the Bruce Springsteen show. I kid you not!

Thank You From Philips Arena

Thank you for attending the Bruce Springsteen concert at Philips Arena. We hope you enjoyed the event, and would like to invite you to take a moment to answer a few questions about your experience with us. Your feedback will help us plan our promotions to better suit your needs.

Hmm - what could better suit my needs?
- I always want to Park on Lucky St.
- Can Swing drink less beer next time?
- Please provide better directions for Joe DiSturco
- Bathroooms, we need bathrooms.

I'm sure there's more we need!

Woods, is this your beer?

Did you share your brew with the Boss?

Dublin 3

2 hrs and 45 mins of pure genius .
this show definately stole the limelight of the 3 .
unbelievable from start to finsh .

highlight had to be Sandy 4th july .... As Roy took the accordian it could only be Sandy .
Bruce spoke very highly of Danny before telling the story of him leaving the marajuana plant in his car and Danny then getting locked up trying to claim back his car ?!!

and for sandy to be followed by Growing up ??? well does it get much better ??

Rosalita was awesome folks !! very tight ... lots of fun !!

and to finish with two extra songs after American land ??

no appearance by Bono tonight , his loss i can tell you .

you guys are in for one hell of a treat when he comes round yr way as his energy levels seem to be increasing !!!

Enjoy and take in as many shows as you can !!!!

Dublin 2

So this charming man convince the boss to let him skip the meeting and off i skipped to the show !!

took a 4 month prgenant colleague as well as some others along for the ride .

got to the show and b4 we even got to sit down my friend says she must visit the jon!! the queue for the ladies was about 2 miles long with 15 mins to showtime .. time for some drastic measures i thought . so i called security who brought us to the office and who comes down the stairs NO NOT BRUCE but kev his guitar tech who showed us to the rest rooms ....

and then when we did eventually take our seats who is sitting no less that 10 feet away ?? Bono , the Edge , Larry , Paul thier manager and Brian Eno i'm sure ? wives in toe as well !!

now the important part ... THE SHOW ?? fandazzydoozy folks ....

Murder Inc .... brilliant .... intense .. amazing ...
Jungleland ... the newly converted bruce buddies i had with me were blown away by this and clarence on the sax ....
Glory days ? ..... what a fun song ....

Ah the whole show folks just seems to get better night after night after night ........

Dublin 3 ????? who knows , maybe the Pope will show up its that good ... a religious experience indeed.

Dublin 1

Moving Mick's notes out of the comments to front and center....

Super gig last night ... the boys were really up for it i must say and susie too . so many classic moments throughout the show -- nils again on because the night and then at one stage bruce , nils and steve trading solos with such intensity i thought thier heads were going to blow off !!!super show ... hope to get there again tonight ... have my tickets .. just need to convince the boss that bruce has been my REAL boss for about 5 years more than him .... i'm sure i'll work that Irish charm !!!!
