Wikipedia has a page about the Wrecking Ball World Tour, of which the Leeds show was a part. It lists all the band members.

Glad you loved it well worth the ticket, agree about the booze prices, but I,ll trump it 4,50 for a beer at Hampden.

The only down side was £3.80 for a can of John Smiths. Bleargh! 

I don't understand. 

No, I guess you wouldn't, I remember paying the equivalent of £18 for four cans of beer of dubious heritage from the supermarket near your hut, so £3.80 for a can of equally dubious beer would seem to be non-understandable. However, from Sainsburys, 24 cans will cost you less than £15 some weekends which makes £3.80 look like vulgar profiteering.

Flash, always great to see one of your hero's perform well - I'm glad you enjoyed it. £3.80 for a can of beer seems a little pricey given that John Smiths is normally on the cheaper end of the beer market - however £18 for 4 tinnies is horrific!!! Was that a particularly expensive shop, or simply local taxation?

I'll let you know Bruno. I'm heading back in late September

I've got tickets to see the Boss when he returns to Melbourne next February 16.  Co-incidentally, that is also my birthday.

He is doing two concerts here in our new soccer stadium.  I've never been to the venue so I hope it is comfy (for over 3 hours).  The support act is the Hunters and Collectors who are reforming just for the Springsteen gig.  The "Hunnas" as they are lovingly known around Melbourne, were huge on the pub / club circuit in Australia in the 1980s and 90s.  

The tickets were about AU$160 each for the mid range seats.  I could have paid more for the "premium" tickets.  And I'm too old to endure 3-4 hours standing in the general admission area.  I'll leave that for the kids.

cheers,

Ian

You're going to love it Ian, he has lost none of his energy. It's a great gig!
