In response to
this thread I just wanted to say I saw springsteen in Glasgow last night and he was amazing. From Nils Lofgren's entry playing Flower of Scotland on accordian to a rousing 'Twist and Shout' 3 hours later, Bruce had the capacity crowd at hampden Park in the palm of his hand. He mixed up the set with many hits interspersed with some of his lesser known songs but didn't lose the crowd's attention at any time. Naturally, songs like Born to Run, Thunder road and Dancing in the Dark garnered the biggest response but quieter / slower numbers like Waiting on a sunny day and Hard times were equally well received. Overall, the sound quality was as good as you could expect in a sports stadium - the bass was often lost in the mix but that didn't really affect my enjoyment of the evening.
this review from STV says it all really.
I defy anyone to come away from one of his gigs in a bad mood;-) Mind you, my patience was being tried 2 1/2 hours later when I was still making my way home (40 miles or so).
