G?teborg, Nya Ullevi, Night #2 official setlist

A great show I'm sure.. strange Radio Nowhere wasn't played..
..but he keeps playin' 'livin' in the future'. Mah!

Twist And Shout, yum ! But... there's room for ONE MORE

"Nowt wring" perhaps means "now what's wrong" - I didn't know you can text message through SPL

Downbound Train is a big favorite of mine. In an entire different league than HH and Bobby Jean (writing the acronym sounds a tad weird)... hope he plays that in Barcelona !! [/quote]

completely agree with you. I'd be happy to hear Downbound Train in Barca.

he must have heard about my prediction and thought 'I know i wont play it tonigh just ti prove that rick56 on spl wrong'...

so, 1st time radio is out ??

nowhere to be seen

loooong twist and shout too - I wonder if the stadium has broken down yet

Show ended ?

Accoding to GL it did:
Show ended 23:56

do you know when it started?

And the stadium is still there ?

Yeah, I suppose that's the real question.

What a Night

no idea, no sms yet
I could ask...

No, don't bother. If the stadium crumbled, it'll be on the news soon enough.

Excellent show ! Summertime Blues, Backstreets, Roulette, Drive All Night, Twist And Shout... though Rick56 is right, this is actually a 2-night setlist.

Hope he does the same in Barcelona - see you in two weeks !

I still want to hear a firsthand report from the show
Nicky wrote they ended up 5th row at the main platform.

yes, those and Lost in the Flood for me.

I'm really aching for It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City... I also never got Blinded By The Light !

But I wouldn't object to mr. Springsteen picking up your sign from the pit with LITF on it...

Thanks everyone - will now get asleep watching the end of BOS @ NYY... Baseball, the ultimate sleeping pill !

Actually my sign, if any, will be Leap of Faith - but it's unlikely he's going to play that and there have always been signs for Lost in the Flood. Saint in the City would be nice too., never heard that.
Well, I don't believe I#ll get close enough to hold up a sign anyway.

Ok. I am back in hotel. Today's show was great. Actually I think it was clearly better than the first show. Yesterday was July 4 and he "had to" play something special, the expectations for that were clear: Born In The USA, Independence Day, Sandy etc. and of course Uncle Marsh and Sirius broadcast were also there. Thera were some strange short breaks, probably due to the broadcast. I think that Bruce just couldn't feel the full artistic freedom yesterday.

Somehow the second show had better intensity. Even Lonesome Day was good: it was just in the correct place at the correct time. The Rising is a great just after the slow song: it brings the audience back in action. It grows slowly and audience is rised to another level. Yesterday it didn't worked like that since it was played after This Hard Land, not after Indepence Day. The night #2 was simply better one.

Drive All Night was BRILLIANT! After six Magic show it is definitely the best performance I have heard.

Oh, after being in Milan I have to say that encore was a bit disapointing. It would have needed one more party song (like Ramrod, Kitty's Back, Detroit Medley) before Bobby Jean. If the show would have ended after American Land, it have been only 2 and the half hour show. Even now the show was about 15-20 min shorter than in Milan.

Of all the one shot winners, including Incident, Drive All Night is my favourite moment of the tour to date, it built slowly, and ended quite brilliantly, it was the standout moment of the night, and the standout moment of the tour for me so far.

Why does everyone have a woody when Twist and Shout is played. I've heard it, it fine but I don't yearn to hear it or have a holy shit moment when it is played.

It was bound to be played, a banker, it has relevance in Gothenburg, and if you have seen the Amnesty Video, then you will have some idea of how it went down in Gothenburg tonight, it was a joyful celebration, and a song that typifies and ended perfectly one of the truly great performances, I have been priveledged to have witnessed.

Snippet of Drive all night from Gothenburg tonite

I don't think I've ever been so tired before and yet I can't sleep. So now it's coffee and danish.

wonderful!!!!!

At what time did they hand out the pit wristbands?

Best not just to write LITF... he's probably seeing signs with that written and thinking we want to hear Living In The Future!

I was not even thinking about it, but you may be right. Maybe he would think I mispelled LIFT and play Lift me up.

Driving all night after the show coming home at 5 a.m. I?m too tired to write now.

We ended up pretty close to the main stage although we only came to the stadium around 3:30 p.m. .
The crowd was pushing hard from the back, standing pressed together so that you almost couldn?t breathe - so at one point we went a little more left which was a good decision.

I?m On Fire into Drive All Night made the whole trip worth it.
That was just beautiful - pure magic to me !

It was great to meet a few SPLers before the show - somat, Stampe, Shabby Dog, skywriter, Mando, TheRising, Rosalita77, calvino_pf - hope you guys enjoyed the night as much as we did...

Still the show couldn?t top Copenhagen .

Glad to hear you had a great time - makes me happy to know the tix made you happy.
Setlist looks good from here, but nothing can top Hamburg for me

Somebody knows what did exactly happen with the lines for the pit? Who got the wirstbands first? Did the people already in line for concert #1 have any precedence?

No Surrender and Lonesome Day videos are there as well

well, the f*ck up with the two queues ended more or less the following way: both were merged (7 from this and then 7 from the other line) in front of the gate, those (said to be about 500) got wristbands and were let in first (before the other gate and all others as well).

however, gothenburg shows were the first where the people acutally really walked in - bruce's camp reportedly said they were amazed and had never seen something like this.

They joined the two lines: first 7 from one, then 7 from the other and so so.

The people in the first line who thought that it was logical that the same line should apply for night 2 was - if you ask me - complete selfish assholes and bastards

was that due to the local security people asking/ telling you to walk or some other reason?

Nice meeting you 2 also And I agree about the comparion between CPH and G?teborg. The crowd was much better in G?teborg than in Copenhagen but overall I prefer CPH. We're probably gonna take some heat saying this.

They can't have watched in the pit entry in CPH then. People also walk all the way across the field to get to the pit.
