 How early did you have to get there? It reminds me of the Harley-Davidson Anniversary show; we were there all day from about noon in 90+ degree heat. Bruce didn't hit the stage until almost 9 p.m. Totally worth it, though, just like you said!

The European system for Bruce shows is different to the pit lottery they run in the US, you turn up get your queue number and stay in the queue order for the duration, so if you're number 25, you're the 25th person to enter the arena when gates open. Usually there's a 4 hourly role call system until early afternoon on the day of the show when you've got to be back at the queue otherwise you lose your place. For the first Dublin show last time out the queue started on the Wednesday before the Saturday show! |

The Harley gig was unique (in the U.S.) in that there was no lottery. They gave out pit wristbands to the first 2,000 people in line. Once you got your wristband, you could leave and be guaranteed a spot in the pit, but not a certain place in line, i.e. you would be at the back (but still in the pit) if you came back later. We were toward the front of the line, so we decided to stay and keep our place. Once they opened the gates, there was a mad dash, naturally. Ended up a few rows deep in front of the little bump-out stage in the center (it was Bruce's regular stadium stage, unlike the Hard Rock one).  It sure was a long, hot day, though!

I really am praying for a Cardiff date. The last time he played Cardiff I was booked to perform at a wedding, so I couldn't make it, hence why I went to Hyde Park Calling. This time though Hell or High Water couldn't keep me away.

With the Sunderland, Manchester, London and Isle Of Wight Shows already confirmed and the other rumoured dates (including only one in Dublin) it's looking liek Wales won't be on the schedule this time round, so you'll have to a get a visa Sean!

I wish they'd announce the U.S. dates already.
 I need to plan!

As for planning, just presume the tour is along I-95 and you'll probably not be far off. |

 The problem is that I don't live near the I-95 corridor, thus the need for more time to plan. At this point, just the dates/ cities would be enough. That's not to say I haven't gone at (near) the last minute before. We do tend to get more dates announced at once, but they still dribble them out- it's annoying. I've made plans (and bought tickets) to travel to shows, only to get shows closer to home announced at a later date. I think you're right about the Festivals- I think Bruce, Inc. wasn't quite ready for an announcement yet, but with the Festivals announcing their lineups already, Inc. was forced to say something early. This makes me feel better about missing the onsale for The Wall this Summer.

I'd never miss a show in my hometown either, if I could help it. As for the other My Hometown you're referring to, I've seen that as well. I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't seen the handwritten setlist the next day and found out he'd switched it instead of Racing in the Street!
