Bruce Springsteen, Kilkenny May 12 - A Rainy Night in Soho

[@catherinenolan175]

Wow I didn't see this one coming! What a beautiful tribute to Shane McGowen, a poet and a genius, one of my favourite songs sang by my favourite band❤

[@philiphamer5959]

Words fail me. Genius pure and simple. Simply wonderful tribute from one genius to another.

[@thomaswalsh8219]

Wonderful heartfelt tribute to one of the greats...from one of the greats.

[@lenacraig377]

Bruce has done a beautiful tribute Victoria. Love and Light 💚

[@markfleming.4334]

That song is both beautiful & timeless.

[@gmhontheroad]

I love Shane and The Pogues and I love Bruce and The E Street Band. It was great seeing Bruce visit Shane in Dublin last year. And it was so touching listening to him speaking about Shane after he passed. I was expecting something like this, and it has definitely made my day. I would love to see something similar in Dublin next weekend and maybe even seeing Victoria on stage for the occasion! Shane and Bruce Forever!!!

[@mickcarlon8147]

I deeply love Kilkenny...and Bruce...and Shane. This is perfect.

[@812tompark]

My first visit to beautiful Kilkenny, I said on the way in “It’d be amazing if he paid tribute to Shane tonight”, opening with this was the best possible start to the best Bruce gig I’ve been to so far!

[@glennhfriedman4571]

great combination of everything

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Fantastic tribute from the boss , amazing

[@mgc9144]

Was there to enjoy.What a moment! Heartfelt and delivered in a completely respectful way. Shane McG would have appreciated it. Just the intro to a great night.

[@bmurphy3166]

The whole concert was brilliant. First time seeing them

[@BadScooter]

Lyrics: I've been loving you a long time Down all the years, down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into Heaven Some of them fell into Hell I took shelter from a shower And I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho The wind was whistling all its charms I sang you all my sorrows You told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song? To all those little girls and boys Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning The ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I'd hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first times I never think about the last Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means Still there's a light I hold before me You're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams

So so sweet

[@siobhanmcilmail9002]

I absolutely love Bruce (seen him 75 times). I also love The Pogues (saw them a week ago, Red Roses For Me). I love that Bruce did a tribute to Shane. It's not his usual type of song but to start with this in Ireland was beautiful. RIP Shane 🙏

[@GuadalupePicasso]

Do “the Pogues” tour with a new vocalist?

[@jayinsult]

​@@GuadalupePicassoThey do not, but some of the remaining members performed alongside guests to mark the 40th anniversary of Red Roses For Me.

[@thebillryan]

@@GuadalupePicasso "Spider" Stacy does most of the singing with guests appearances by other artists. I read the " Red Roses" gig was brilliant. The music and words sustain.

jfc edit the video would you? Nearly 2 mins of the crowd clapping at the start isn't necessary

[@edward2448]

Don't like the remake with the Horns. But this is very cool 😎✝️

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

Classy move by Bruce, maybe the band didn't really know it, as it lacked the raucous swirling waltz of the pogues. But E Street aren't a punk band - nice hornplaying and accordion - but more oomph and sway required next time.

[@ritahorvath8207]

So sweet of Bruce doing so. Definitely not his song . 🖤
