Springsteen

Saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Hampden last night - only one thing to say -FANTASTIC.

I have wanted to see Springsteen live for years but had never managed it, I have heard countless stories about how great he is live, and watched the BBC coverage of his set at Glastonbury this year, so I was slightly apprehensive about seeing him - would it be as good as I thought it would be or would it be a let down? Shouldn't have worried, as it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Bruce was in fine voice, playing for three hours, and the E Street Band were brilliant. A good selection of songs from the Springsteen catalogue was played. Even the heavy rain prior to the gig starting, and the slight showers during the concert could not ruin the atmosphere.

The only downside was the length of time it took me to get back home (concert finished at 11pm, got home to Penicuik about 1:40am).
