'The Boss' is not in the same league as Neil Young - Just saying.

Neil Young was shite in the RDS last month.

Absolutely loved it. Disappointed not to hear Jungleland but there were some absolute tests in there, Nebraska in particular.

Certainly the best gig of the week last night and one of the best Springsteen gigs I was ever at. A great night all together. Even my long walk home after didn't spoil it for me.

From reviews I read, sounded like the RDS was a shite venue.  Also, weather wasn't great too.  Saw Neil Young 2 days before in Glasgow and he was first class.

I think the problem with the Neil Young concert was people went along expecting a "greatest hits" playlist and he played songs that some of them hadn't heard of.

What are you, 12?

I love Neil Young too, but rating live performers is not an exercise in scientific objectivity.

Nah, it was the fact that Neil Young basically gave the crowd the finger and had a jam with his mates. Ten minute outros to every song etc.

Did he have anything to say about the current malaise in county hurling and football? Not even a "Mon a Saffrons"?

Fair point, well made.  Have just never really got into Springsteen's music.

Bar set up was the worst I have ever experienced. Saw Springsteen in Dublin and could get served in 15min. Mising Up to an hour and a half is a joke when you have paid near 80quid.

Complete joke and won't be back.

Sound was sh!te and all.

Bruce was was excellent tbf.
