The Boss was back in town, last Wednesday 19th at the new o2 arena, (aka Millenium Dome)

Tickets were as scarce as a gay in a brothel. managed to get a ticket on the day (once again) and pay face value through rip off merchants Ticketmaster.

Waited from around 1pm for the gig at 8.30pm.

Was it worth it? of course - started with a rip roaring ‘Radio Nowhere’ four tracks on the spin without really talking to the audinece, a Boss on a mission. (see Backstreets review on my web-site) . he blew tha audience away with old, new and crowd favourites. Because the Night went down a storm as did No retreat No surrender. Absolutelt great stuff. Did we want to go home? no? did we believe in Santa Claus? of course the audience did.

I have seen Bruce since 1981, the journey has been a love affair for all these years, and I always wanted to go to see him at Christmas, to see him play Santa Claus Comes to Town. it’s a song i have had on an old bootleg from around 81/82. He didn’t disappoint…all the E streeters were suitably donned in hats including ear muffs for Steve van Zandt ( some may know him from the Soprano’s)
