Show a little faith there's magic in the night
This post is long overdue. It has been almost three months since we came home from our trip to Canada and in another three months the Bruce Springsteen 2025 European leg starts. Anyway, here is the last part of the story of our Canadian adventure. The first two parts can be found here. Vancouver turned... Continue Reading →
It was finally time for our long awaited trip to Canada! Routinely when we travel our points of depature differ, but luckily we always and eventually arrive to the same destination. This time I had a morning flight to Amsterdam, where I changed to an Edmonton bound carrier. Oliver first flew to Munich, where he... Continue Reading →
“Hello, London! It’s Saturday night!” That is how Bruce Springsteen chose to begin the last concert of this year’s European leg at Wembley Stadion in London.

We’re off to a great start even though I would have preferred the... Continue Reading →

However, when it was settled that Germany would play the quarter-final against Spain, in said championship, on the exact same day as the... Continue Reading →
The start of SpringsteenTour2024! This year we are doing fewer shows. Already when the concerts were announced we agreed on a couple of rules on to what shows to attend. The first rule was that if Springsteen was playing more than one show in the same city we would only see the second one, so... Continue Reading →
