BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Stadium Of Light, Sunderland, 22/5/24

[@derekgreenacre9530]

I was there that night, it was freezing cold and wet. It shows the character of Bruce that not only did he allow the show to go on but was willing to step out into the pouring rain to enhance the show for his fans. He is over seventy years old and rich enough not to bother with such an ordeal but this simple act of going out into the cold and drenching rain shows the ultimate commitment to his fans. This is rock and roll it is this that will remain in the fans minds. Somewhere within that audience there would be a young child who is attending a rock concert for the first time and something in their mind will click and they will think " wow that's great I want to do that" and so the torch of rock and roll is passed on to the next generation. Well done Bruce for a great night and a great performance.

Absolutely right 👍👍👍

[@nosila444]

Me too they were at their best. Fantastic

[@PaulineStewart-cu1ik]

It is 💯 brilliant. This is the second time I have seen The Boss play here at The Stadium, and he never disappoints.

[@Themoocher44]

We was there, not far from you by the looks of it. Absolutely amazing 3 hours of quality. The conditions must have been horrendous for the band at times but you wouldn't have known

[@peteblog1]

They were on fire ! What a night ! :)

[@Themoocher44]

@peteblog1 still buzzing mate 👍

[@stevel6117]

What a great venue.

[@sw7557]

Cracking night once I ditched my completely restricted seat on the side and ended up near here. Great vid 👍.

[@michaelconway7984]

What an amazing night. The River and Racing In The Street back to back was epic

[@peteblog1]

Yes.. you’re right. Back to back Racing & River.. simply amazing! :)

[@billrothwell7139]

I was there, superb night 👍

[@peteblog1]

What a gig! :)

[@triciareck6832]

Fantastic night amazing performance my first time at a Bruce concert what a men and fabulous band 😊😊😊☔️☔️

[@vitordragon]

And I hope you can go to many other concerts - Bruce is always amazing on stage! Greetings!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

I was there and it was pretty special. I'm about 40 Bruce gigs in, and this one was one of the more memorable ones. Bruce obviously had a cold and he was losing his voice as the concert went on. He rallied a bit on the quiet numbers, but he ran out of puff on the loud ones. Nevertheless, he and the band gave 100% and through sheer force of will, they delivered a great experience.

[@gordonmabon4239]

What a show, last hour blew me away, loved Badlands really got the crowd going.

[@djh9022]

It was wet, but it was amazing as ever.

[@NautilusGoose]

I was there, incredible night!!

[@mikey4523]

Superb mate. Second visit for Bruce down from Brum. TBH 2012 doesn't really stand out but Wednesday was an unforgettable experience. Shout out to Dun Cow, Ship Isis and Museum Vaults great boozers for pre show drinks and conversation. Lots of love for Tony Mowbray up there and the Blues fans too and some sage advice for my team and what to expect now we're hurtling back into Division Three. Shout out to the lads and lasses from the Mean Eyed Cat pub (hope you made it back safely) who I had a blast with on the Metro too and the good bartenders in The Strawberry and Bodega pubs back there

[@djangiebaby]

thanks for adding a fantastic recording this is 1st time ive been able to watching it 💝

[@doug52craig]

Absolutely fantastic night, great crowd great band

[@peteblog1]

They’re the best! The G.O.A.T of live music ! 🎶

[@ferguson1518]

Thanks for posting this. Great compilation. I had a similar seat to yours at Murrayfield last year. Decided this time to get a bit closer. Ended up on front barrier just off centre stage, and o can confirm that it was very wet down there with a couple of inches of water on the front stage. But despite, or perhaps because, of the weather this is probably the best Soringsteen gig I have been at.

[@gypsyroadhog]

It was a brilliant night regardless of the weather

[@CR-bc1zt]

You're all lucky people! I love Bruce, and the fact he came to my local city! I didn't go because of certain disabilities affecting me. I don't ever go to any gigs tbh 😂

[@keithgriswold9586]

Great highlights, thanks for sharing!

[@peteblog1]

Thanks! It was an amazing night. The Boss was reinvigorated & the band was at their best ! :)

[@rushpittsburgh4]

This is the best compilation vid from any show from 23 or 24. Awesome and you had perfect seats. Good view of the stage and the screens. This could be an advertisement for the tour. Crowd was a bit damp though...oh well

[@peteblog1]

Thanks very much ! It was an amazing night.. all the more impressive cos it was so wet.. how the Boss & the band gave so much energy & passion to a very very wet night.. we’ll never know! They are simply amazing ! :)

[@johnbell133]

What a great night,fantastic performance,he is the Boss

[@philipscott9238]

What a legend Bruce Springsteen is what a brilliant night 😂

[@mikeowen1192]

What other band could lift a gloomy rainy night they are fantastic and how well and physically fit does Bruce look touring suits him looks no where near his age I think there's 35 more gig's on this tour and it wouldn't surprise me if they tour Australia again ,😊

[@peteblog1]

Still life in The Boss & his band.. he’s looking stronger as the tour continues! :)

[@mikeowen1192]

Looking slimmer as well had a bit off a belly when he kicked off tour gone now but his voice a bit croaky I believe he has a cold and the 3 hour gigs,

[@sbyrne1001]

He was croaky in Belfast as well. He said he had a bit of a cold but on 4th night in Dublin his voice was as good as ever.

[@richardgrogan1826]

Awesome video ,got soaked pit queing in pit ,am Another great show up there with cardiff Thanks to the uploader

[@peteblog1]

What a night.. the pit looked amazing.. despite the rain!

[@supastitched]

This must have been one of the most challenging gigs for them to perform due to the horrendous weather conditions. They pulled it out of the bag however. True professionals. Well done all !

[@peteblog1]

They were amazing! Totally nailed it! :)

[@richardlewis6330]

Ive loved bruce since iwas 15. Roll on Barcelona and now Wembley

[@markknowles7631]

There last night, mind blowing 💪🎸 28 track show, what's that all about. Truly awesome 👏

[@gerrymcguinness4351]

Absolutely amazing, best ever.

[@martynortheast]

Great footage and thanks for uploading it - what a fantastic night, Bruce and the band had some horrendous weather to deal with but pulled out all the stops. Also a terrific advert for our fair city, even if I did have to reassure visitors that it was sunny in Sunderland now and again!

[@namename-ck7dp]

Wonderful video of a very special night. Even saw myself on the big screen! Thank you for sharing Pete.

It was amazing I was there. Such a great video I love seeing all the crowd 😊

[@soksy3]

Thanks for the upload was a great night apart from the rain.

[@peteblog1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@H-mv2jp]

Looks to be a great concert despite the weather. The audience looks cold and wet, so it’s no surprise that they are less enthusiastic about raising their hands and letting the rain run down their sleeves, and who can blame them. They were in good voice , however and that must have helped Bruce. Well done, Sunderland. Thanks for the post.❤❤❤❤❤

[@MargaridaBarao-d6k]

❤ 1:33

[@peteblog1]

Thanks! It was such a memorable & amazing gig.. ironically made all the more so by the terrible weather! Bruce & band seemed determined to reward our very wet commitment, by putting on the show of their lives! :)

[@H-mv2jp]

@@peteblog1 l can’t wait for some more postings of it.

[@supastitched]

Fab video by the way. A great snapshot of the ethos of the evening, and a lovely memory. Thank you .

[@rafd3593]

Hopefully, the rains will have stopped by the time Bruce reaches Wembley on 27 July! Rain seems be the default setting for the UK these days. Well done to those who attended this concert!!

[@Chris-c9l6p]

I saw him at Sheffield United's ground in the eighties best live band in the world

The best!

[@ianbaxter-ru4ud]

It's not like the band were protected from the rain - you could see the raindrops on Bruce's Telecaster! Perfect from the off - Bruce's opener was Waiting On A Sunny Day! ❤️🎸🤓

[@peteblog1]

The perfect opener .. even the violin was saturated.. they played on regardless.. just amazing! The best live band of all time! 👏

Are you tone deaf or what he can't sing a note have heard his version of santa-claus is coming to town my god that would scare the kids 🫣😱

[@gypsyroadhog]

Pleased I was what appeared to be nearer you in the seats, gonna have to upload my footage

[@guyr7351]

I was there, 4th time I've seen him now, twice at Sunderland. Not sure if he changed the songs due to the weather but I got the impression that he is putting everything into this tour as he will unlikely do such a big tour again. Have tickets for Wembley hoping for drier weather

[@peteblog1]

Me too.. see you at Wembley!

When there is no derby for years, Bruce is probably the only way to attract Geordies to Sunderland.

[@theappalachianambassador8284]

Excellent compilation! Any chance you got the whole big board of Darlington County? We were in the pit next to the girl who had the Bruce Rubber Duckie he stopped to pose with. So fun - would be great to see a clip of that if you had it. Glad we all enjoyed the special night!

[@floglobe]

he's cancelled a lot of shows since this one. Marsailles crowd was sent home . Hope he is okay.

[@djangiebaby]

makes me cry as i should have been there ticketmaster kept my 250.00 its not the money it was a special date .. anniversary of my daughters dads passing aged 34 & i was gonnie let of a cpl of balloons in tams memory once the boss started to sing the river . tam introduced the boss music to me .. his fav being the river 😭

[@daphnehoge9575]

What is the capacity of this stadium? Looks huge!! Audience & Bruce totally locked into each other. Great video!!!!

[@stevenewart3873]

It's the stadium of light in Sunderland UK. Capacity around 45,000 and there are thousands on the pitch too

[@daphnehoge9575]

Thx. He looked really happy. Trust you had a wonderful time!!!!

[@peteblog1]

I think it holds around 48,000 for a gig! It was an amazing night. Horrendous rain.. but Bruce & the band ignored the rain & got totally involved.. ! They started with Waitin’ On A Sunny Day.. the perfect opener for such a wet & cold night. We were all a bit damp.. but our hearts were warm by the end of the night. Both Boss & band were awesome!
