What time is it? Boss Time !

Boss Time this weekend
At the Emirates Stadium, London, UK
Round #1: Friday May 30
Stage time: 7.45 PM - 10.35 PM


Standing place: Front row but totally on the left side in front of the big screen. Bad view for the main stage of course but when Bruce came 3, 4 times on the side, we could see him very well and I was so close, I could almost touch him ! Well, it will be for the next time !


The setlist was outstanding: Almost 3 hours with some good surprises !!!

Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out / Radio Nowhere / The Ties That Bind / Lonesome Day / The Promised Land / Magic / Atlantic City / Reason To Believe / Candy's Room / Prove It All Night / Because The Night / Working On The Highway / Cadillac Ranch / Livin' In The Future / Mary's Place / Waitin' On A Sunny Day / Point Blank / Devil's Arcade / The Rising / Last To Die /Long Walk Home / Badlands
ENCORE: Thunder Road / Born To Run / Glory Days / Rosalita / Dancing In The Dark / American Land

Favorite parts: Atlantic City, Reason To Believe, Because The Night, Working On The Highway, CADILLAC RANCH, GLORY DAYS (one of my all time favorite songs) and American Land (excellent live song to end a show).


For this tour, Bruce takes some fan's requests so he asks to give banners and ideas for songs,...
I usually never take banners at concerts but this time as I was front row I had one saying: " You Can Look, Better Not Touch" with the "NOT" crossed over !
Well he didn't sing that song but saw it! He pointed at me, laughed and gave me a big cute smile.
Gosh Bruuuuuuuuuuce, you rock :D

A long and great rock & roll show! Bruce is really THE BOSS.
I'll never be disappointed with him and his band. They're the best !
