My first concert was Springsteen in Melbourne in the mid 80s on he Born in the USA tour, got a heap of his live stuff on DVD and I love the Wrecking Ball album, will be trying very hard to get tix to this but theyll be like Hens teeth. Would love to get to the Hanging Rock gig for an amazing experience.

He played here in Canada a month or so ago to rave reviews. Friends who went said he plays for over 3 hours. That's a lot of Bruce

Bruce usually does play for over 3 hours.

Presale tix go on sale at 11.30 tomorrow, probably go for Hanging Rock tickets as that's in the middle of Easter so I could do a good road trip with my son. Fingers crossed!
If anyone wants presale tix just sign up with frontier for free.

Just got tickets to the Melbourne show. Really wanted standing but the allocation had been exhausted in the first 2 minutes!!

Oh well. I know I'll be able to sell them if I don't want them.

The gig at hanging rock would great, or it could be terrible.

Heard Michael Gudinski interviewed about this tour on Monday. Said it will go for 3 1/4 hours with a 15 piece band. Enjoy.

Mate, considering I'll be going to 2 Angels concerts between now and then and have been to Rolling Stones and ACDC concerts I don't think the bogan element at a Springsteen will concern me. Would be much worse at Soundwave anyway. ;)

Nah mate, he comes from Jersey, not Queensland. Tony Soprano culls the bogans there.

Stevie Van Zandt wont be touring. Replaced by Tom Morello for the tour.
A shame but a handy replacement!
