OZCUBAN Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Lucky the band have the day off today The heat is oppressive here, and all the band were dripping wet and by the end Bruce looked totally exhausted and spent. The only noticeable absence last night was Patty Cheers

Ken Gargett Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 saw a review in the guardian. i think they were impressed. Bruce Springsteen – review Perth Arena 'The remotest place on earth': Bruce Springsteen and Steve Van Zandt at Perth Arena. Photograph: Tony McDonough/AAP Bruce Springsteen opened his Australian tour with a first ever West Australian concert last night, the first of three sold-out shows at Perth Arena. The three-hour extravaganza reaffirmed the Boss's reputation as the best live performer in rock‘n’roll. Celebrating the biggest hits of his famous catalogue interspersed with newer material, the show was a masterclass in audience interaction and the virtuoso jams of an 18-piece E Street Band. “Hey Perth! It’s great to be in the remotest place on earth,” Springsteen exclaimed before a note was sung. The Boss teamed up with old sparring partner Steve Van Zandt to sing opener Frankie Fell in Love, from new album High Hopes. That album’s title track followed before a cover of Australian punks the Saints’ Just Like Fire Would, then Badlands, taking us back to 1978. From there the floodgates opened: a great Hungry Heart, then The E Street Shuffle, during which The Boss let most of the band have a solo. The extended jam culminated in Springsteen himself performing an astounding blues guitar solo, a reminder of what a great player he is. Formidable solos became a theme for the evening, with Springsteen and Van Zandt joined in axe worship by Nils Lofgren and ex-Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Lofgren’s epic lead on Because the Night saw him spinning like a whirling dervish, while Morello’s technically jaw-dropping shred on The Ghost of Tom Joad – on which he also duetted – was mesmerising. Then there were the songs that sent emotions flying the other way. Wrecking Ball, The River and American Skin (41 Shots) were moving to the point of tears for many, their themes of struggle, hope and despair getting to the core of why Springsteen is the king of heartland rock. was performed solo on grand piano after Springsteen saw a sign calling for it in the crowd. The 1973 track never sounded so affecting.Deep cuts were dressed up with invitations for lucky punters to join the Boss on stage, the funniest of which was Stevie’s Angels, a group of girls worshipping Van Zandt, who twerked their way through Ramrod. And there were hits. The Rising. Born to Run. Dancing in the Dark. No Born in the USA but it didn’t matter. And when it seemed that it couldn’t get any better, with the E Street Band finally retired following a raucous take on the Isley Brothers' Shout, The Boss returned solo, performing Thunder Road to close the show. It was a once in a lifetime end to a show that could hardly have been bettered. [/font][/color]
OZCUBAN Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 hard to see too clearly but that looked like patti on violin? No it's Soozie I guess we will find out at tonight's concert not that I will be there I guess Magnus can let us know
OZCUBAN Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Downloaded the cape town show the audio file is in FLAC or 320 kbs MP3 ,I used FLAC quality is excellent
Ken Gargett Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 saw the list and i thought a really interesting set. amazing how much he chops and changes these days. i suppose that keeps him keen as well. shame about the sound.
OZCUBAN Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 just downloaded the first Perth (5th of Feb) gig for bruce,have to admit the sound quality is better than one of the S.A ones. I downloaded the FLAC format which is meant to be best quality over say mp3's which suffer because of compression ,then converted to apple lossless I know what you mean about the sound Magnus, thought it was just me ,not sure if it is necessarily the band or is the the sound ,IE speakers stage provided by the venue ,i am sure some where in that arena there is a nice "sweet spot" Still I am not complaining,my only complaint is that I just didn't discover all this earlier never heard "Kittys back " before ,what a top song fingers crossed we might see him again here within a couple of years cheers
OZCUBAN Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 lets hope it does mate next time I am in the mosh pit
dicko Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Badlands, Atlantic city and ghost of Tom joad my faves. Thanks for organising the the tickets Magnus! Great show.

Ken Gargett Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 I sent this tweet a couple of days ago. Don't know if it had anything to do with Candys Room being played,but I'd like to think it did Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk who knows? can't have hurt. is that twitter? do me a favour - send one to them asking for 'for you' for either 2nd adelaide, first hunter or brizzy! heard every real fave song of his i want except that one. heard him do 'candy's room' in melb last year. brilliant. he picked out to signs - one for candy's room and one for ??? - and would hold up one, then the other, for the crowd to vote with their screams. kept doing it. candy's room won. i had no voice for three days. great stuff.
Ken Gargett Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 This is interesting. Somebody posted a copy of the original setlist for Perth 8 Feb on Twitter. Quite a difference compared to what they ended up playing.... Apart from Darkness and American Skin lm happier with what they ended up playing. Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk amazing how different. can't be easy being in the band but i guess they are used to it.
OZCUBAN Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 amazing how different. can't be easy being in the band but i guess they are used to it. I'd say if their not used to it by now they never will be ,I reckon it also keeps the band real tight
Hugomarink Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Never thought I would see Bruce Springsteen play an AC/DC song -- that was awesome!!!
