Hi all
Just got back from Cardiff - ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
I've just read through the setlist posting and it was fun to remind me of all that went on.
It was a great party atmosphere tonight - it was a 'small' venue with the roof closed and only a third of the stadium used but it made it all the more intimate. Cracking setlist (and only DITD from BITUSA - is this a first since '85?).
Highlights for me were (well it was all a highlight but you now what I mean) Long Walk Home, Roulette, Tougher, Eric Burdon appearing - what a voice! tore the house down! MCOR, and Janey - that was beautiful not expected as I thought he was going straight into TR.
The sign for TV Movie had Seaside Bar Song on the reverse and it looked like that was what they were going to play as he was holding it that way up and pointing -as it transpired he was pointing to the back of the sign and saying 'This has never been played before' - even though I would have preferred Seaside TV Movie was a lot of fun and I think set the party tone for the evening.
My night was almost ruined right at the start though as one lady behind me asked me to sit down SECONDS INTO THE FIRST SONG
. I was so shocked I bloody did - but it didn't last long I was back in position by the next one.
All in all a great night - the best of Bruce I've seen - This is the first show I've been able to make since Crystal Palace in 2003 and it was a last minute thing - soooo glad I did - even the songs that we usually moan about when following a setlist were still great fun.
I'll see what photos I have and upload if any are half decent.
P.S.

All made better by a cracking show
