- Second Bruce Springsteen gig in two weeks, this time in Sunderland. What's he like in 2024? Is he worth seeing one more time? Why bother? I try and answer these questions, and throw in a few clips.
LIVESTREAM - MAY 25 @frenchvinyladdict
Will it be Anfield or Co Op next year
A lovely, thoughtful review from One who Knows - it has always been the emotional connection that sets him apart, especially in a bloody big arena. You’ve done him justice, and he is ‘like family’. We need to appreciate him whille we can.
Cheers Andy. Given the number of uncritical reviews that show up on here, I'm pleased to have made a contribution that reflects Bruce's declining powers, but determined efforts that warrant respect.
“Over the last decade his creativity has been a bit paltry” Bloody Hell, you’re a tough audience!
I am! 😀
This is not what I wanted. I put this on while I was in the bathroom, expecting to hear some music. Instead all I got was you talking on and on, and it took me 13 minutes between shaving and showering to turn you off. I will never get those 13 minutes back. You need a clearly title to warn people that they are getting you, and not music.
I love Atlantic City! Quality track I haven’t thought of in a while. I always love your honest breakdown of the listening experience. The guy had a cold and you gave it a positive spin for his effort. Outstanding! 👍🎸
Ta very much Mike. I try and be fair, but do my best not to be fawning when it comes to my heroes. They're all human, just like us mere mortals!
I recently caught Simple Minds on their Global Tour at Birmingham arena, and even though Kerr and co are heading to the mid 60s they sounded as good now as they did back in 1986 when I first saw them live.
Nice one Jamie. I'm about to put that to the test after just taking delivery of 'Live in the City of Angels' 4CD set.....for £4.49, including delivery!
You people realize he can't please every F.N..thing..every fan wants. right..do what ever person wants..so he is doing what he wants..do you haters get it
😂 I'm sorry, but you might want to have a sit-down and actually listen to what I say in the video (you won't though). To describe me as one of the 'haters' is laughably wide of the mark.
haha, what are the odds, I was at the Cardiff gig too
I've only seen the Boss once, way back in 1985. I see what you mean by Bruce being just behind the beat. I really enjoyed this video and the live clips!
Hi @ # vinylcommunity, im watching your video. Will watch later. So far your editorial commentary is forthcoming and the switch in your program to show excerpts of the live concert, this is excellent. Im gonna stay tuned. 😊
Hi David, great video. I have 5 Springsteen records and awaiting Letters to You, which I got for a real cheap price. I have always found him to be a sincerely kind and thoughtful person in addition to a great artist. Also enjoyed the live stream.
Thank you very much. Glad you dropped in on the livestream. It was a long one(!), but fun to do with great fellow-guests and host.
The night after this gig he was receiving the Ivan nouvelle award in London he sang thunder road he has a heavy cold his voice was shot and he looked tired , he doesn't mime or use auto tune like most do I think he has still got 35 more gig's in Europe and I think he will be thinking about Australia he loves touring,
I don't think auto tune would serve him well! And, to be fair, I'm not sure it serves anyone well. Better to enjoy an authentic performance, even if the voice is ragged. Many of us still enjoy Dylan's efforts, even though his voice is as ragged as it gets. I didn't see Bruce's performance at that London awards show, but it's comforting to know that my guess at him having a cold wasn't wide of the mark.
@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 just read next gig cancelled due to cold and vocal issues , definitely agree about not using auto tune 😞
@@mikeowen1192 4 gigs cancelled now. 10 days rest. He (and the fans - apart from those who have booked travel) will be better for it.
@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 couldn't carry on like he was , always Ives 100 percent he was soaked to the skin at Sunderland and I think realised with vocal problems he needed to rest his voice the right decision,
Thank you for this. I enjoyed your honest review. For me I felt a bit melancholy after the Edinburgh 2023 concert. I think he may have been unwell, but there was something not sitting right with me. At Sunderland he was like a new man. The energy from him and the band was amazing. When you talk about his connection with the audience, I always feel like I'm at the local pub watching a rock and roll band having a good old dance and sing along and going home happy. The way the audience feed off his energy is amazing. Only thing I would say is don't compare them to their early days, compare them to the rock bands of the day. They can definitely hold their own. They are amazing. I'm hoping they will be back on a Born to Run tour next year and it definitely has to be at St James Park 🙏
Thanks for your comment. Even though his voice was ragged in Sunderland, his energy and determination to give a great show were there in spades. He's well worthy of our love and respect.
Great artist that I have seen a couple or three times in Sheffield over the years. On another note I used to follow Sunderland up to about 20years ago and had some brilliant lads days out at the Stadium of Light and watching your video brought back some fantastic memories. Too fragile now though!
Cheers once again, Tony. Good times in Sheffield and Sunderland. I saw him at Bramall Lane in '88 - first time out with a horn section. Wonderful gig.
Great video David. Yes, he's a fading force, but still connects on an emotional level like no other artist. These tours look like the beginning of the end though.
It does David, but you wouldn't bet against Bruce coming out with the band for (at least) one more tour. He's relentless.
A very interesting piece on Springsteen.As a long time fan think you pretty well sum up his performance in 2024.He still has the power just different.
Thanks Michael. No point in sugar-coating it - he's in the 'September of his years", but it's so good to see him still doing it and giving everything.
@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 Certainly is on reflection the show probably shouldn’t have gone ahead in Sunderland and as this seemed to only push him to ever greater heights he now has lost his voice cancelling last nights show in Marseille.
@@Michael64425 Doctors prescribing ten days rest. Four gigs postponed so far.
