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 →
Welcome to my annual end-of-the-year chronicle. Here I reflect on the passed year, the media I’ve consumed, the trips I’ve made and other personal stuff and oh boy, was this a busy year! This post took forever to write and in the end I had to cut a lot of things out just to get... Continue Reading →
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 →
A perk from being on this tour, other than the chance to see my favourite band, is to discover places that I’ve never seen before. This includes Newark/Asbury Park, Barcelona and Utrecht. Now I’ve also taken the express sightseeing tour of Vienna. We set off really early with the train from Ehrenfeld Bahnhof, Germany at... Continue Reading →
We arrived to Hamburg at around ten o’clock, with an early train from Cologne. Plenty of time to check-in to the hotel, have a quick look around, have some lunch and then head to the arena. We discovered rather quickly that there wasn’t just the Springsteen concert going on in the city. There were lots... Continue Reading →
On this tour, when you are going to two shows in the same location you are given a concert free day in-between shows. To have something to do, and because it was a bit rainy, we decided to go to the cinema and catch the premiere of the film “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (part 1)”.... Continue Reading →
