hope you get a great show Oslo!!!
and you too Rick.
Lef is in town:
| 3m |
Hotel w/ A View @ Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel instagram.com/p/Yk40MpFd_0/ | |
nice weather
that is a long wait
Not even believers do that.
maybe they are the non believers
cudos to them though
The venue security do not want the queue taking place on venue property (and there is a different event taking place this evening), so the queue is located slightly away from the venue. There are signs taped onto the venue fence by the bus stop, along with a map to guide, but this can't hurt:
As you get off the "Fornebu Parken" bus stop (NOT Telenor Fornebu), the venue is right in front of you. Turn around 180 degrees and there is a hotel on the other side of the road, the "Quality Hotel Expo". The Roll Calls will take place on the grass on the OTHER side of this hotel. Cross the road and walk around the hotel, or walk through the hotel lobby to the back doors (faster).
I forget how many people are in line now, certainly over 60.
Greetings from number 22.
I predict problems.
No wonder Bruce can keep going. He thinks it's 1999 - it's been the same people in front row every night since 1999 no matter where he plays
71 in at the last roll call.
Where the h... are they rehearsing?
Somewhere around Oslo. Steven and J. Clemons are definitely here.

Judging by the pic Lef uploaded to Instagram my guess is they are rehearsing somewhere inside Telenor arena, in the backstage area or the basement or something. Surely there are plenty of rooms big enough for that in the arena, why would they be transporting all the gear again today or tomorrow? My guess is they set up the gear yeasterday\last night, and will be rehearsing today. Maybe Bruce wanna keep the rehearsals of the radar this time? Last year we had the full setlist for the Sevile rehearsal remember. A hush hush rehearsal sounds promising to me! 
Collection of pre-show articles etc.

I'm sure they are going to shake up the setlist bit more this time.
a shame Bruce isn't playing Valle Hovin this year. i just *love* that stadium..............................

Rehearsals were yesterday at Jar.
So only 3 kilometers away from the venue.
It's freezing cold and pouring down today. Glad I'm not in line.
The weather should turn for better tonight.
Show day
No preducts from me
No preducts from me
I'm getting very excited for you guys! 
About 260 numbers at around noon for the pit. Pretty cold here still, and the weather has changed back and forth from cold pouring rain, to blue skies for a bit, back to rain now. Ready for the show!!
buuurrrrrrrr
Who'll stop the rain to open
Oh no that's s oreduction and I said I could not do them anymore , ignore it peoples.
In any event, time to let it ROCK.

Bruce arrived at the Arena 16.30. Long soundcheck/rehearsal. Folow That Dream played. All according to newspaper Dagbladet.
Every major newspaper has photos and stories of Bruce leaving the hotel today, arriving at the Arena, Nils not getting a table at Maaemo (2 michelin star restaurant) etc.
Here's a story on who to dress like Bruce aswell: http://www.kjendis.no/2013/04/...ert/musikk/26911197/
Ftd is a great song and not played enough.
So whose going to make any preducts, I am not as previously stated. What I expects is a solid uneventful start to this leg while they get back into the swung of things
Wha times kick off?
Could be an acoustic pre set tonight similar to Finland & NJ.

The only thing better (showtime is around 2:30-3PM Eastern was during the Australian leg when I got to wake up to a show in progress. That was cool.
Good luck to all in Europe for a great season - my big concerts lately have been Alejandro Escovedo and Graham Parker - both EXCELLENT. Would love to see additional USA shows for the summer/fall!

You forgot BTR
oops me bad
well spotted
how the hell could i have forgotten that, early tour slackness I say and it is not acceptable. I have had some serious words with myself over this and I am assured by myself that this will not occur again
actually I am now receiving some serious backchat from myself over this. this matter has not been finalised although I am hopeful of an early resolution.

damm
just spotted the sad news over on Brucebase:
no Patti, that's a shame 'cause she's a wonderful woman
Put the beer away and go to bed, Rick! LOL
nice start, FTD is a nice addition and TR --> FY should have been awesome
and Rick, that spacing doesn't give you more activity points
the formatting went like that when i copied from the other post
didn't have the heart to change it - again early tour slackness, is the rot setting in after so much touring?
Originally Posted by IvanNF:

actually it's coke (drink) and yep soon time for the bed
hopefully Patti will join up in time for wembley
Good, rights show. Only thing that didn't work for me was Prove It unfortunately.
I still have to understand Rick's obsession with Patti...
She's a wonderful woman , its that straightforward
I concur. I met her albeit briefly in Sydney in '03 and she was lovely
Twelve minutes of pro shot footage uploaded to jl by night
And now another patti liker
And now another patti liker
Brucebase is missing Better Days from the setlist
let him know

nice bit
You guys might want to check out this facebook Group for some Nice video stuff, in Norwegian, and try to omit the "å": "Vi som var på Bruce Springsteen i 2012 og/ eller skal i 2013". Also a bit at the Group "Incident on".
I only attended Monday's show, but thanks to the pre-show part that was OK! :-) The concert proper was really very good!
