Cardiff next July, tickets on sale Friday 10am
 
I’m not sure what he’s like now, but I saw him in Cardiff in 2013 and he was immense. He played a non-stop set for 3-4 hours. There wasn’t even enough room to fit in a support act.

I know a few people who’ve seen him and they’ve all said he’s immense, but he’s not for me. Should be a great night for his fans though.
 
I’ll be there. It’ll be the 7th time I’ve seen him.
 
Born to Run , the ultimate driving single played on my then car radio , along with the massive buttons to attached to find the Wave Band required , what a track even when I hear it now , such memories of my Mk 1 Ford Escort .

Good luck to the Show and Audience , past reviews report a class act , but not for me .
 
Seen him twice and there's no denying his shows are about the best you will ever see. Whilst I'd love to see him live again, frankly I can't be arsed to stand on the Wembley pitch for 5 hours or more let alone put up with the ball ache of travelling back across London. I guess I have morphed into the archetypal grumpy old git.

I hear so many rave about him that he clearly has appeal. Unfortunately I don't really get Bruce either. There's one or two I like (Philadelphia being my fav) but listening to him for three or four hours would be purgatory.

I prefer this version. Has more drive to it. Most of his songs are usually better when covered. I also can't understand what he's singing.

I was in work today and talking to a couple of women in their late 30’s in the canteen, they’d never heard of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Made me feel old.
