Do any of you love Bruce Springsteen?

I've just watched him performing on an old music programme, and his fans absolutely adore him.

I've also known people who went to a gig because their partner loves Springsteen, and came out as die hard fans.

Love Bruce but never seen him in concert, though I did see Queen.

Never seen Springsteen but have seen Queen, MJ, Genesis and the Eagles along with many other bands and love a live concert.

Love him. Have you seen Bruce on Broadway on Netflix. It's a must watch for all fans. grin

Sarah - thought that you were going to tell us about your long weekend with Springsteen! Yes, I used to love him and he is aging remarkably well. There's still tracks that make me turn up the car music. It goes right over my DH head.

Yes ...love him ! could name many others I also love ...but WHY do I get negative comments from 'friends' when I say I have been to see Bruce S, Queen, Neil Diamond, Elton John, a Vivaldi concert, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, etc etc (not to mention Andre Rieu) that tell me I cannot possibly be going to see Rod Stewart one week and Andre Rieu the next ….musical snobbery ! I just say ' WHY NOT'? ...we should not be restricted to enjoying only one type of music !

I was watching him thinking what a great life he has.

Playing his guitar, singing his heart out, and having women and men jumping onstage to kiss him, just touch his guitar, and dance near him.

Love Bruce and Meatloaf. Tom Petty sadly missed.

Brucie baby is brilliant, but give me Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Thin Lizzy, The Who any day.

For Queen fans who never got to see Freddie Mercury, please go and see Queen with Adam Lambert. He is not trying to be Freddie, but the show is fabulous.

I`ve heard of him, but never heard any of his recordings.

Love Bruce! Saw him several times in the 79s and 80s. Raw animal magnetism! I love Meatloaf's songs, but he doesn't have the presence of The Boss, and sadly his voice has gone as he's got older.

I can understand fandom. I'm not a Boss fan myself. I've been fortunate to see many great bands in my life and plan to see many more. I'm still discovering new bands (the power of Amazon music and Shazam ?)
My granddaughter loves pink floyd, she's 9!! I'm passing on my music, its fab !!

Anniebach Mon 02-Mar-20 09:57:12
