Eyewitness

Thorsten	First time I came ti a Boss concert. It was just one the most beautiful moments of my life even if it wasn't the most happiest tour. It's just great they played Born in the USA in its rock version. Also, Waitin' is just great when everybody takes part.
Mark Lancaster	First Bruce gig outside the UK, not a classic but think band were getting ready for Barcelona DVD next show.
