Kinsey posted:It's widely rumoured here that there will be at least two shows in Dublin on that weekend. If you remember that he sold out five shows in Ireland in 2013 (I don't know what the total attendance would have been, but probably c.200,000), then two shows in an 80,000 capacity venue wouldn't be outlandish.
I'd rather see this show in an arena. He's going to have to work his socks off to make The River work in a stadium setting, where at least 50% of the audience will be casual listeners hoping to hear Born in the USA ten times. It will be interesting to see the results.
If this were an ordinary tour I'd have no hesitation going to two nights, but I'm on the fence about going to more than one for a show where at least 22 of the songs will be repeated. How have you guys in the US found multiple shows so far?
I really enjoyed the show last week at MSG. But I don't feel any need to go more than once. I really question whether The River will work in an outdoor stadium. The River is my favorite album, but a lot of it is dark, and quiet. These guys are seasoned pros of course, but I can't help think they're going to be sick to death playing The River night after night by the time this tour reaches Europe.
I still think this whole tour is a bit of a head-scratcher.
