We left from here around noon yesterday for 2h45min drive to the city of Tampere and got to the venue about 1 1/2 h before the gates opened and the security check started.
There were approx 1500 people in the line in front of us so we did not really expect to get some really good spots this year but at last we found ourselves togeteher with Steve, a guy from Ireland we bumped into when fighting for a good spot.
Steve and me waiting in great anticipation...
When the show was about to start we took advantage of the sudden chaos of people sitting and then standing up to advance some few steps and ended up just some few feet from the fence to the right of the center of the stage more or less in front of Soozie.
In this picture you may see how close we got. Why do I get this "Sally Simpson" feeling here...?
Well the show was like an eruption of energy and we left Tampere with our ears ringing and legs hurting of 7 hours af walking, standing and jumping around. regarding the tinnitus it wasn't so much because of the sound level of the music, in front of the stage the PA:s are blasting away over your head but my ears was ringing because I was caught in the middle of a group of ladies in their mid forties and some teenage girls who were screaming their lungs out... :)
Sorry Ingela, no offence!

Well... you wrote it on your own blog, didn't ya?
:)
can't be stressed enough ;)
*sigh...*
LOL you two!! No bickering now ;-) Hey Hans, it sounds as if you were still high from the experience! What a marvel Bruce is that he can generate such power and energy and enthusiasm from his audiences. Great showman indeed and a great concert by the sounds of it....but aren't you just the teeeensiest bit jealous of your wife's flagrant disloyalty in the presence of Mr Springsteen ? ;-)
oh man you had the most awesome seats! I am sooo jealous of that one picture you got right there infront of Bruce! Magical! Magical!
thanks for sharing your Bruuuce night!
Val, he really is the Duracell Bunny of Rock & Roll! :)
Grace, That picture was taken in a very dangerous and stressed situation, I was totally mobbed by all these 40+ "Young Ladies" and was about to be severely mashed down.
I really had a Robert Capa moment there... :)
LOL Hans..I like that image of BS as a duracell bunny!
