I still find it interesting on this board that when the subject of Bruce comes up, I can expect the usual suspects to chime in with their usual derogatory comments. Maybe devoted Stones fans see him as a threat, I don't know... I have been privileged in my life to see some of the best artists (Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Pink Floyd,The Who, Paul McCartney, REM, Clapton, U2, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Simon & Garfunkel, Grateful Dead,Frank Zappa, Santana, Buddy Guy, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Sonny Rollins, Dave Brubeck Quartet, Billy Preston, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Mellencamp, John Lee Hooker, Chrissie Hynde & the Pretenders, Elvis Presley,etc) on this planet. Last night I watched the American Music Awards show as they showcased the current field of what they consider to be the "best and the brightest" and even though there were a few artists that I enjoyed, I couldn't help but think that it's really the end of an era for folks that I grew up with who made a major impact on music & wrote the soundtrack of my life and this includes the Stones as well as Bruce Springsteen. Although the Stones will always be my favorite band, the night of 9/24/1984 at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band changed me forever and gets my vote as the single greatest concert I ever attended. To the naysayers out there, if you have never had a chance to catch Bruce in concert, do so, cause like the Stones, you may not be lucky enough to catch 'em the next time.

I like Bruce. I like his band. I love many of his songs. I just can't stand his voice. And there is only one band that stands between the Stones and them being the undisputed greatest rock 'n roll band of all time and that is the only one that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with them. The Beatles.

I also love the music of the Grateful Dead but can't stand the weak vocals. If Mick was doing the vocals for Springsteen's band they would definitely be a threat to the Stones. Also, if Mick had been the lead vocalist for the Grateful Dead they would have given the Stones a serious run for their money for title of Greatest Rock 'N Roll band in the world. Actually, if we are being fair and unbiased U2 deserves the title at the moment.

I get a chuckle when you mention Springsteen's voice (and in particular his singing style). I had the chance to see him on the River tour when he came to my hometown in 1980 or 81, but I passed it up. Until that time, I really couldn't stand the guy. During my college years, I lived on a floor with two guys who were obsessed with Springsteen and they played Darkness, Born to Run, Greetings From Asbury Park non-stop, and I would say to them, "Why do you like this guy? He sings like he has got marbles in his mouth!" A few years later, a buddy of mine had extra tickets for Buffalo, NY in 1984 at the time of the Born in the USA and I went to the show reluctantly and as a favor to my friend, and crazy enough, I was so blown away by his performance, passion & intensity that I became an instant convert that night! Regarding his singing style/range, I actually think he has gotten better with age. A great example of this is how he uses his falsetto voice when he and his wife duet on Mansion on the Hill from the 2000 live concert in NYC (i.e the reunion tour). It is simply beautiful and very powerful.

According to Backstreets - the ticket sales for the Manchester date are still TBA - anybody know if thats right - seems strange that all the other dates have a sale date.

I was so excited when I got the presale address for the Berlin show and rushed to buy a ticket, but at the end I didn't buy any, since I got really cofused about the cathegories.

There is the "standing" cathegory and then the 8th cathegory, which is standing or sitting room area. Now I have no clue what that is. Since there is a FOS for the other two German dates, it could be that, but it could also be anything else. Of course I want FOS if there is one, if not, then regular standing. It would be great if there was a venue plan as usual, but there is none. I really don't want to buy tickets when I have no clue where they are..., Anyway, does anyone konw....?

Edit (the next day): So they have a venue map there now and the 8th cathegory is a FOS indeed. Just ordered a ticket! Lucky day!

I went to both shows. Probably shot at least 300 photos. Lighting was awful for photography especially since I do not use a flash, so lots of photoshop work to do on them.

I was probably 25 ft away. I have a nice zoom lens and discreet. Shooting in Raw Mode instead of jpg helps with details when cropping.

No problem for me. I love the first picture. Could be an old B&W picture from the 50's.

From what I've heard, the tour will have a horn section.

I guess that's the easiest way to replace Clarence. Not too crazy about it myself. But won't stop me from going.

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! :-)
