Bruce Springsteen News

Am 17. und 18 Juli 2012 wird Bruce Springsteen in der bis zu 38.000 Zuschauer fassenden RDS Arena, Dublin auftreten.

Bruce Springsteen performte bisher 9 Mal in der Multifunktionsarena im Vorort Ballsbridge. Das erste Konzert fand am 7. Juli 1988 anlässlich der „Tunnel of Love Express Tour“ statt. Darüber hinaus spielte der „Boss“ auch 1993 (World Tour), 1999 (Reunion Tour), 2003 (The Rising Tour), 2008 (Magic Tour) und 2009 (Working on a Dream Tour) in der RDS Arena.

Kurz vor Konzertbeginn wurde ein Stromgenerator auf die Bühne der RDS Arena getragen. Little Steven und Bruce Springsteen brachten den Schalter in die „ON“ Stellung und eröffneten das 46. Konzert der „Wrecking Ball Worldtour“ mit den Worten „Before we were so rudely interupted“ (siehe Hard Rock Calling Auftritt vom Samstag).

Bruce Springsteen at the RDS
Bruce Springsteen opened his first of two concerts in Dublin last night by making light of his weekend concert in London, which was brought to a halt for breaking a curfew.
Coming on stage at 7.25pm, he stood with guitarist Steve Van Zandt in front of a huge power switch and told the crowd of 35,000 in the RDS: „Before we were so rudely interrupted . . .“

Die knapp 40.000 Zuschauer in der RDS Arena erlebten während der dreieinhalbstündigen Show mit „I Fought the Law“, „I’m A Rocker“ und „My Hometown“ drei Tourpremieren. Kurz vor Showende stürmte ein verkleideter Polizist auf die Bühne, um dem Lärm ein Ende zu setzen. Bruce Springsteen und die Mitglieder der E Street Band wehrten sich nach Kräften und brachten das Konzert mit „Twist and Shout“ und „American Land“ zu Ende.
