Springsteen at Murrayfield last night, the band as great as always. I thought his voice was very strong, decades of honing and hard work. This tour seems a little different, not taking requests, but playing the favourites. Showcasing the incredible other musicians, “The E-Street Horns” and “The E-Street Choir”, playing a few soul/jazz covers which I enjoyed but my brother felt was a lull.
The audience definitely skewing older now , with many boomer types struggling with the high stands. I saw one older lady going down the steps of our aisle on her backside. Not sure about Murrayfield as a venue. The trams were very well organised before and after the concert, but the park & ride was so full that people were parking on walkways, grass verges and even the side of the dual carriageway. I opted for the airport car park at £20 an unexpected expense. The tram was £7.50 one way, but very few bothered getting tickets for the return as we/they knew no-one would be checking. Oh, and lots of feather boa remnants. Thanks, Harry Styles!
