Show a little faith there's magic in the night
”Hey, Odense. Er I klar?” (Are you ready?), Bruce shouts when he walks on the stage at exactly 20:00, and then counts down to Lonesome Day, followed by No Surrender, Prove It All Night and My Love Will Not Let You Down. We’re off to a great start even though I would have preferred the... Continue Reading →
Due to the 2024 Football European Championship, only one (!) Springsteen show is scheduled in Germany this year. As a consequence it was also the hardest ticket the get your hands on. 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 →
A trip to NYC for Easter led to discovering Lime Cordiale, an energetic indie pop rock band from Australia.
The Gaslight Anthem is a band I listened to quite much some years ago and I always wanted to see them, but never had the opportunity before.

The Milan (and Monza) area was battered by severe thunderstorms on Monday and early Tuesday (the show day), resulting in a large numbers of trees falling over streets and even causing the deaths of a 58-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl. They even considered cancelling the concert, but extra park workers were working the whole... Continue Reading →
The Olympic Stadium in Munich was built already in 1972 to host the Summer Olympic Games. The characteristic curved tent roof construction is still very impressive and it is one of the city’s landmarks. By the way, did you know that Crown Prince Carl Gustaf (the current Swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf), met his future... Continue Reading →
Hockenheimring is a Formula 1 racetrack in the small town of Hockenheim and also the next venue for our next Springsteen concert. At first we were hesitant to buy tickets for the show since we had heard that it was in a remote area, but we (or at least I) also thought it would be... Continue Reading →
