From the moment I reached the entrance to Emirates I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere was electric. By the time we started queuing up at 4.15 the line for entrance N was up to S. the gates finally opened about two hours and looking at the t shirts on display I could tell this was by no means many fans' first show, and by the end of the night it was patently obvious why. An hour and a half passed until the "Mighty" Max took up his seat behind the drums alongside Proffessor Roy Bittan on Piano, and Charles Giordano on keyboards replacing the late, great Danny Federici. As soon as the opening bars of Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out the crowd began singing along in earnest. And this was just the beginning a barnstorming version of Radio Nowhere followed (even better than the version you could hear from outside during the soundcheck) and the night really warmed up. Bruce worked the crowd like a ringleader in the best circus, running to the crowd at every possible moments taking flowers, requests and hand shakes from the audience. For me the highlights were Because The Night with an amazing solo from Nils Lofgren, played just as dusk settled, and a brilliant rendition of Mary's Place from the Rising which both would have raised the roof if Emirates had had a roof. But the real treats came during the Encore, with a trilogy of my three favourite songs from The Boss's epic canon making appearances (Thunder Road, Born To Run and Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)) and a great version of American Land (which I hadn't heard before, and judging by the appearance of lyrics behind the stage I wasn't in the minority) acting as a rousing finale The evening was summed up by a girl I heard as I left who said "you know who I feel sorry for? Everyone else in the whole wide world who wasn't here" Jon Landau certainly knew what he was talking about 30 years ago when he said he'd seen the future of music... and fortunately, to quote the great man himself, we're living in the future
its going to be difficult to say anything original about this
Admittedly, I paid nothing due to lack of credit card, I am however sorely tempted to pay 40 quid for the box set now
for someone who didn't like Radiohead at all this must have been the perfect marketing technique, listened to all of them now
congratulations messrs Yorke Greenwood(X2) O'Brien and Selway
i haven't posted here for ages... i mean months, so i'm going to just say a few things that i've been listening to or re-listening to these last few months
1. Air Traffic-Band from bournemouth, described as "Supergrass playing Little Richard" tight pop songs and excellent ballads make for so much more than the next Keane, top tracks include:- No More Running Away, Just Abuse Me, Shooting Star, Charlotte and Never Even Told Me Her Name, all available on their debut album Fractured Life(available in shops and iTunes)(nice lads, too)
2. Cherry Ghost-Americana (Name nicked from a Wilco track, "Theologian")but from Bolton, conjures up visions of gliding along highways (or the M6)Personal favourites are 4AM, Thirst For Romance and Here Come the Romans
tired now, more later
