Prague now confirmed for July 11th - one for Happy24! Congrats, mate!

I just found out, I can´t believe it! Great! Will I see you there, Gazza? Or in Berlin? (I am not sure whether I will go to Vienna now, since it is the day after Prague, but I have 1 more week to think about it)

Edit: What the hell, I just ordered Vienna too! The presale is on, despite the official site says the next Monday. What a summer will that be, now announce the RS tourdates! :-)

Not sure yet what shows I'll be seeing, Petr. Definitely Dublin (I think there'll be two shows there). Berlin's on my birthday, which would be pretty tempting..lol. I'll probably do one other trip to take in two shows - so either Barcelona, Paris or maybe the two northern England shows.

So it looks like 3 shows for me - Berlin, Vienna and Prague. So, Gazza, if you decide to go to any one of them, let me know, I would be happy to meet you!

Zürich has been added today as well...

I bought today my Tix for the 2 Paris shows. Happy.

I got tickets for Milano and the second show in Paris.So excited about this.If there's anyone else on the board going to one of these shows, and interested in hanging out prior to the show, let me know

Second show in Gothenburg, July 28.

Both Gothenburg shows sold out in three hours, 120 000 tickets gone!

Looks like Oslo is a sell out and Bergen. 2nd show added in Bergen also a sell out!

De Niro's improvised 'You talkin' to me' monologue in 'Taxi Driver' was inspired by seeing Bruce repeat the line to the audience at a gig the year before.

Thanks for sharing that.....pretty cool.

Got mine for Hyde Park this morning. Haven't seen him for 10 years so can't wait.

Jeez, how did you miss him on the last two tours? You shoulda gone last year and you'd have been on the DVD lol. But hope you have fun this time around. I saw him about 5 times between the last two tours and he's still absolutely got it. I highly suggest checking out some videos of St. Louis in 2008, and New York MSG from 2009 where he played the entire River album in sequence. Both are considered particular highlights from their respective tours.

Last time round the tickets for the Hyde Pk show went so quickly. And the tour before he played Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Until then I'd seen him on just about every UK tour with the exception of the Seeger Sessions. First time was the 2nd Hammersmith Odeon show in Nov 75. I even got backstage and watched part of the show from behind Roy Bitan's amps. He did 9 encores that night!

In for both Dublin (a second show was added for 18/7 just 20 minutes after the first went on sale) which will keep up my record of having seen all 21 shows he's ever played in Ireland.

Will be doing Manchester as well so hopefully I'll get to see a few of you Northern gits.

That's all I'll be seeing in 2012. Too many other priorities next year, so no continental shows this time unfortunately.

Bruce last night with The Gaslight Anthem.

Gaslight Anthem were getting highly touted in NYC. Saw them. They sucked

Agreed... Songs are starting to sound like John Mellencamp with Soozie.

Better than I would have expected, if I had any expectations regarding Bruce.

I suppose these days I'm about 18.9% favorably inclined towards Bruce's classic
albums and 81.1% neutral, so almost one-fifth of my being was quite pleased to
hear this new song.

Especially the glockenspiel. Like halftime at a high school football game. Glory days.

I don´t understand why 3 already released songs are on the new album? (deluxe version conains the 3rd)

ok, a point

Hopefully US Dates will be announced this tuesday. Much more interested in Bruce live than the new album.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

I hope he will do a big swing thru Canada, havent seen him for over ten or twelve years, cant wait.

His last few tours with a band have bored me. Much like the Stones live, I miss Bruce being a bit more raw. Having Bruce, plus 3 other people playing guitar, plus backup vocalists, add in a fiddle....it loses the rock-n-roll feel for me.

He still puts out all sorts of energy, but the band has gone stale.

Write this DOWN!!
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band in Canary Islands!!!
It'll May 15th, On Tuesday,Las Palmas de Gran Canaria not yet at his website but 90% done.
