Ah here! Dire Straits is appalling stuff! Spend five minutes with a Dire Straits fan and you throw yourself out the pub window! Listen to 'Romeo and Julie and it will be the second floor one. 'Local Hero' is a decent tune though. Dismissing 'Steely Dan as just 'dad rock' is unfair though. It is probably a compliment to Status Quo though, even if it is hard not to enjoy their one song when full of light ale. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I would throw 'Sultans of Swing' so far that it would never see the light of day again. Having had a stepdad(****) who was a fan didn't help. Bizarrely, he otherwise had very decent musical tastes and introduced me to the Delta blues. I suppose we all have our weak spots. I thought you were one of the good guys too.

I fear this might be the last time we'll get to see him and the band do a stadium tour. I wish they could go on forever because seeing them live is such a life affirming thing (great to see the young lad in the story above thought the same 😂😂😂). Tickets were €130 but they were worth every cent. The man never dials it in.

Born in the USA is a phenomenal album in its own right, but for me those first 4 Springsteen albums are the backbone to everything he's done. Born in the USA is very '80s'...lots of synthesisers etc. (Not a bad thing!)

Also helps he's playing in 4 decent enough stadiums. The capacity for Croke Park alone wouldn't be far off what went to the RDS for all three shows I'd guess. Belfast it says has a 42.5k capacity for concerts. Nolan Park Google says is 27k and PUC is 45K. Ticket price wise think we paid the same price as last year for the RDS. Also f**k Thomond Park for turning him down. Turning a 30min walk to the show into a 2hr drive instead. |

Got standing tickets for Croke Park. Was relatively painless this time around. The geographical split definitely helped. Incidentally, out of the 10 odd ties I've seen the Boss live, Nolan Park in 2013 was the best IMO. I may try and get tickets closer to the time. Still a decent amount left for Belfast it seems. A limited number of seats left for Croker. Between this and Green Day tickets on Friday, I have cleaned myself out a few weeks before Christmas which isn't ideal ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

I forgot about this this morning and was able to get croker tickets an hour after they went on sale in our our preferred seats (upper davin). Great view from that height and easy access to bars and toilets. ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

The Thomond Park show that year is probably the best concert I've been to ever. Altogether with the few songs he played when he came out at half five he must have played for at least four hours overall that day. |
