Getting rave reviews, 8 days to go, can't wait! :D

IT is going to be tough for anyone to beat Bruce Springsteen for the tour of the year.

It was awesome mate. I've been to hundreds of concerts and this was the best. Even better than his Born in the USA tour in the mid 80s but that was probably because that concert was at the Melbourne Showgrounds and I was miles from the stage unlike in Rod Laver where I had great seats.
Still abuzz from it but reality will soon hit as I'm back at work.

Hasn't been played this tour, probably too boring to be one of his live set.

Not sure if too many bands perform as many different songs on tours (and for as long) as Bruce does but today I finally got around to forking out $11 from the official springsteen website for a full recording of the Adelaide Concert I went to, he did it for all of his gigs in South Africa/Australia/New Zealand.
Amazed with how good the quality it is, $11 for 3.5 hours of songs (35 I think it was) is awesome value.
All bands should do this but there is only one Boss!
I'm definately going to get a few more as there's such a variety in songs he does from one concert to the next.
