Oh my god, Bruce Springsteen last night?  BLOODY AWESOME!  As in, TOTALLY awesome, and the die hard fans on the various boards are saying it's possibly his best UK concert ever, one of his ten best ever in his career, the best show any of them have seen in the 47 (or whatever) that they've seen since 1981.  I cannot believe how good it was!
