My seat is in Block A.3. 

As you can see in the picture below this is a gazillion miles away from the stage which is located at the other end of the stadium. Guess I'll need the Hubble telescope to watch the show properly :-)

But who cares I'll be there and will enjoy every minute of it.

Do these bags exist for every city???????

What are the odds he'll be playing "Meet Me In The City"?

Can you please play it, Boss?

On twitter Steve post a lot - very fun to follow. However ........ he doesn't like questions/requests like: "could you please play more River tracks" or ".... at least play a few River songs that hasn't been played 10.000 times already" Those tweets are ignored. I guess that - once again - confirms who's the boss ......

I found this thing on twitter. I haven't got a clue if it's official merchandise. 

Can't imagine that he'll play MMITC in Berlin. Seems it was deleted from the teleprompter with the start of the Euro tour.

Maybe he's open for the request not to tell Wolfgang Niedecken that Bruce is in town.

If Niedecken joins Bruce for "Triff mich in der Stadt hueck nooch"
aka "Meet Me In The City Tonight", I have no problems with that...

Poor Berlin if that happens.

At footie games it's 74.475. Not sure about concerts. Maybe 65.000?

Wow big crowd! The atmosphere should be great!! You seen him there before? How's the sound?

Have seen him there in 2012. He opened with an excellent cover of Wizz Jones "When I Leave Berlin":

Good show throughout. Played Save My Love as tour premiere and told a couple of stories (intro to Save My Love, memories of the '88 show in East Berlin). 

Around three hours with approx. 55.000 people in attendence. Sound was pretty good at my place (GA).

Only annoying thing was a camera crane that was moving around constantly and obstructed the view at times. Think the show was recorded for his vault because to my memory non of the footage from the crane was shown on the screens. 

Fans gathering for the roll call.

Weather forecast

Yes great show that one!!

Yeah we had the same thought about filming for the vault at the Hanging Rock shows in 2013 and Melb in 2014. 

I guess time will tell. 

BTW: I won't be posting the setlist tonight because I want to focus on the concert. So feel free to step in.

My smartphone doesn't have the best camera in the world. But I'll try my best to post some pics and other information before the show starts.

No worries man. Just enjoy the show!!

I've just listened to the River Collection Disc 3 & 4 this morning again and I still don't understand why he's ignoring this stuff on tour. A lot of tracks would work very well live - even in a stadium environment.

Grabed your ticket and your suitcase...be careful there'll be thunder rollin’ down the track...
But you do know where you’re goin’ now!!! Have a blast man!!!

Soundcheck: Shackled & Drawn

SC: Tunnel of Love?!!

Seemed like a pretty long soundcheck to me......

In front of the stadium now. Weather is fine. No rain, 20 degreese and and a slight breeze.

Facebook RMAS reports Nils sang the soundcheck? Bruce is late!

Nils sang one take of ToL but Bruce was there for both songs as well.

Tour poster for Berlin. 30 Euro.

Merchandise stand

Huge stadium but feels quite small! Nice weather, nice place! 

hope you get somethign special - but would be surprised if you do
