So after all that it wasn't a bad set, but nor was it a fantastic gig. The last Etihad gig was better as was Leeds. Santa Clause was funny in that some guy was wearing a Santa suit and Bruce got him up on stage.

Glad I went, though frustrated by the missed opportunities of songs such as meet me in the city and those mentioned above by littlebruce. I also appreciate the experts view that many River tracks don't work in a stadium. Point Blank is a fave of mine it had something missing, maybe the mood that can be set indoors that you can't get in a stadium.

oh well, if that is the last esb gig for me then so be it; as with other gigs there was no mention of "we will be seeing you" etc.

I drop the needle and pray

after fucking disaster in Madrid, we can be happy with the start of UK tour,..

GOOD SETLIST

I would say a better setlist but not good, particularly against the Tour name...

He played WOASD, WOTHW, J99 (rockabilly I assume) and Crush on You...and DIDN'T play Jackson Cage, Drive All Night. Stolen Car, Fade Away and The Price You Pay...

Cheers,

All sorts of reasons to be cross about "The River Tour", however it was better than expected and he worked the stadium really well - He seemed to be enjoying himself. 99.8% of those in attendance loved it.

Pacing was good - The US shows had the audience attention wavering  a tad on all three that I saw.  From where I was standing  Marry you > River > Point Blank worked really well after the frenetic opeining.   Darlington > Working > WOASD  was a drag for us nit pickers - The Mancurians ( or Manchesterians as Bruce called them ) lapped it up.

Other Plus point - Rocking up at 3.30pm and making the pit ( just)

Downers - Weather and the idiot who blocked the car park we were in.

A good trip , with great company.

A Bruce show with one day out of the office, no hotel and (minimal) travel costs - Could be our last run of shows in this format.

Go out and enjoy them.

He will be a long time retired from all this

Better than staying at home at moaning as I could so easily do. I moan for GB/NI  and even the EEC.

 

BTW  - Unlike the US leg, there is a tour programme - Some great River Images, will get it when it's not raining.

I could have done without Santa as a performance, but the interaction was priceless. Santa  was nowhere  near the front, but Bruce picked him out. Likewise Issy who wanted WOSAD. He worked that stadium like a club.  ( OK, maybe an Arena).

Bruce looked long and hard at sign requests. If you want something played make an imaginative sign or dress up. Anyone have a Raggamuffin Gunner costume for Coventry?  I am going going as the back end of a Kitten.

A Buddy Holly "looky likey" will get us Oh Boy.
