Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. Hyde Park (both nights)
Epic, rocking, superb. Excellent 3 hour sets.
As good as I ever saw him at his best and really brought things full circle with a similar approach when I first saw him live 20 years ago. I found the random requests stuff disappointing at Wembley in 2016 (Coventry 2 days before was superb) as it made things quite hap hazard from what I remember.
This was a far more controlled, professional, solid set with no stopping for almost 1 1/2 hrs into the main set on both nights. And after an emotional 15 minutes reflecting on age and life and leaving us with a brilliant message, he goes straight back into rocking.
Absolutely phenomenal for Bruce's and the band members' ages.
I hope he tours into next year or perhaps comes back in 2025 for one last farewell with E Street.
But if this is it, he definitely left us on a high.
A massive renewed interest in his music after that.
Wow.
