Wembly with the Boss !!!!!

Though never on any list of mine, I finally managed to get to hear the Boss , Live at Wembley.

As it's suggested, when you badly want something, the universe conspires to make it happen. In my case for some reason (sheer luck)  I actually checked if Sprignsteen was actually still doing live shows, figured he was in UK in May / June. Then the second lucky break came , an office events dates got changed and brought forward (preponed as we would say !).

Then there was the small matter of getting the all important tickets. By the time I had checked , the show had been sold out (I guess many time overs :) !!!. Then begin the constant monitoring of StubHub . I finally bought the ticket on the 4th of June (the show was on the 5th !).

Bruce , the Boss , first played in London in 1975, Hammersmith Odeon. I find the opening of Thunder Road as possibly the best live performance of the song I have come across (esp. the  way he says 'you ain't no beauty but you are alright '!, I can imagine a cold dark November evening in London with the lovely piano piece filling in the night, haunting lyrics , still open for interpretition (town for losers and I am pulling out to win).

(more to come ...unfinished : and I am rejecting drafts for now !)
