Unbelievable !! Bruce Springsteen playing only a 15 minute walk from my house. It doesn't get any better than that. Bruce was awesome this night. Fantastic storytelling songs from a hugely underrated album. He held that audience spellbound. Please come back to Edinburgh Bruce !!

My friend( wee Johnny 99 +1/2) and I managed to seek into the balcony for the soundcheck. I remember Bruce played about 5 songs and then he had a good look at the carving around the stage. Then he came out and as John said he held the crowd in the palm of his hand. I remember my friend telling me on the way up about a song called "The Wish" I got an elbow in the ribs when Bruce played this song. I love both the Tom Joad album and that show. Seeing The Boss by his self on stage alone doing his thing will live with me till the day I die. Thanks to the guy who sold us 2 tickets outside for face value. This was a day when the dice rolled up for us. The only downside to being a Springsteen fan is this refusal to play more gigs in Scotland.
