Due to a complete cock-up on the ordering front I have a single ticket to see Bruce Springsteen at Anfield on Wednesday 4th June I would like to get rid of. My wife and I are going with friends on Saturday 7th and my son was buying an odd ticket near us to come along but between us we managed to order for the wrong date. I'd like some money for it but I'm happy to accept less than we paid for it. 

PM me is you're interested. It's a seated ticket on the Kop.

Go and have a listen to his first 2 albums, if you haven’t done already Ups.

Greetings from Asbury Park.

NJ and The Wild, The Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle.

Knowing your musical tastes from reading on here, I think you’ll at least appreciate them.

More recently, the Wrecking Ball album was brilliant, Bruce was angry with those robbing bankers, capitalism and the burden being placed on me and you to bail the swines out.

I got his first 3 albums in a box set sometime in the early 1980’s. I’d never been a fan before then but that box set converted me. The two you mention plus “ Born To Run “ .I’ve got to be honest, they are the only Springsteen albums I bought but I can reccomend them.

I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music but the Boss has never really floated my boat tbh. I don’t really care for his voice. Fair play to the fella for the career he’s had though and he always gives good value at his gigs.

I feel a bit like that to be honest. I’ve got friends who go to his live shoes and rave about them.

All you need to know today's is Iron Maiden are still awesome live. Sure they did the hits the hardcore fans would moan about, but they didn't them at full speed and volume when they are in their 60s. 

If any of us had that liveliness at that age, we'd be happy. And Bruce's voice was great.

I’ll be seeing the Boss again at Anfield on Saturday night. Third time for me, plus his cameo with Paul McCartney at Glastonbury a few years ago.

Kneecap call for the murder of sitting MP’s and support terrorist groups like Hamas, they get a Glastonbury slot.

Some attempted to cancel Morrissey for basically being Morrissey……Thankfully it didn’t work.

Its a funny old world.

That’s wider of the mark than a Chris Brown shot tbh.

Embarrassing Gav.

Just seen that Brian Wilson is dead.

Rest in power you absolute genius.

A genius indeed. The first record I bought with my own money was Good Vibrations in late 1966 as a 14 year old. I’m not sure whether it was prescient to buy one of the best ever pop songs at such a young age or a curse to realise that it was all downhill from there.

I was privileged to see him several times from 2005 when he finally got his life back and before dementia caught him.

To paraphrase one of the great lyrics - “I might not always love him, but as long as there are stars above him”.

Very lucky I got to see him at Kendal Calling one year.

Unfortunately a cocaine fuelled nervous breakdown prevented him from completing one of the (potentially) greatest musical works of the last 100 years.

I’ve found some old concert tickets 🙂.
Here’s #1 Genesis at the NEC in December 1981. 
Hadn’t long passed my driving test, borrowed my aunty’s Mini, drove down from Accrington after work, got home roughly 2am…in work for 8am.
Oh to be young & foolish…😁

[oldjamfan1]

£6.50 was quite pricey for a gig ticket in 1981.

No dynamic pricing though…😉

It wasn't a month's wage though.

You’d have to pay me the £6-50.

Sorry to be an old fart, but this reminds me of seeing Genesis at the Amethyst Club in Preston. A quick google search tells me it was 30th September 1971 - no idea how much I paid but something online tells me that Genesis were paid £75 for it. My memory thinks there were only about 20 of us there. The Amethyst was a Thursday night residency at the Hibernia club on Avenham Lane and all sorts of other bands also played there around that time.

I also saw them earlier that year at the Floral Hall in Southport with Lindisfarne and Van Der Graf Generator - the latter were top of the bill. Ticket price 50p.
