Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Let’s start on the evening before the third show. A couple of us were hanging out in the Brewers Beer Bar on the back of the “Bruce hotel” in Gothenburg in hopes of meeting some members of the band, but also yap and exchange tour stories over a beer and a pizza. It turned out... Continue Reading →
To pick up where I left off in my last entry: We left the first concert a bit early to get a good number for the second show. That meant that we had to participate in the three roll calls during Monday (10am, 2pm and 7pm). The roll calls were in the park next to... Continue Reading →
Due to the cancelled flight from Düsseldorf on Thursday, I had to change my plans regarding getting a low number and doing the roll calls. Oliver and I arrived to Landvetter Airport together (for the first time ever) on Friday evening on the night before the show. As I was going to have a guest... Continue Reading →
After a 3,5 weeks Springsteen hiatus (I had to work) I was more than ready re-embark the Springsteen tour. Let’s call it the “second leg” of the European tour. From now on we’ll see practically all remaining European shows (except for the two shows in London). I can’t lie, standing on the sideline, following the... Continue Reading →
The Johan Cruijff ArenA is a beautiful arena with a retractable roof and a capacity of 50,00 during concerts.

The area also has the AFAS Live arena... Continue Reading →
I landed on Friday night at 23:20 in the airport Charles De Gaulle and realised there were no more trains for the day, so I decided to take a taxi to the hotel. Unfortunately the taxi driver didn’t know any English and my knowledge of French is limited to just a few words: “oui, no,... Continue Reading →
Revived and invigorated from Saturday night's show with The Seeger Sessions Revival we jumped on the Dart train to get a number before the first roll call early on Sunday morning. When we got to the assembly spot we saw that the line was longer than on Friday. We got number 881 and 882 and... Continue Reading →
Turns out we were not the only Springsteen fans who chose to attend the sold out concert with The Seeger Sessions Revival in the Button Factory in Dublin on May 6, 2023. There were familiar faces and Springsteen t-shirts all over. The stage was almost too small to host the 13-piece band which is The... Continue Reading →
The Dublin dates are the only tour dates that don’t have any option to buy front of stage tickets. That means that if you want to be sure to be in the pit, it will require a certain amount of queuing. With that in mind we went to the venue fairly early on Friday morning... Continue Reading →
In order to avoid the queuing debacle from Friday’s show and that long and winding GA queue, that snaked around the stadium, we decided on a new strategy for the second show. When entering the stadium on Friday we had spotted another entrance, just opposite ours that seemed to be almost empty. That entrance was... Continue Reading →
