So Bruce is here for 3 nights from Friday in The RDS

Say hello and post which night you're going below

Sure with 120,000 people at the 3 gigs there's bound to be a few fabbers at each night and you might meet others that you haven't had a chance to say hello to yet

Or don't turn on your see whos near cause it would be your worse nightmare

Looking like they are all too Dom to visit the Boss!

On the plus side Bog, at least you will be able to leave the phone in the pocket

Disappointing he's not supporting someone local to do a small bit of support. I read there is none!

Hope you enjoy the gig

Try around Donnybrook

Google maps

All depends on where youre parked

Sometimes its a lot quicker to walk 20 mins to the RDS than get too close and get stuck in traffic after the gig

Normally parking available at the cricket club. Might be worth checking out.

There's also a huge amount of tickets up for sale on websites that I cant name

Be careful as you have to have the digital ticket on your phone via the ticketmaster app to get it unless You were sent tickets in the post by ticketmaster

Printouts won't get you in so don't buy any outside

What. A. Show!!!

Got a message from a mate around half 5. He had 2 pit passes for us. Got in just after 7, met him, found our spot and Bruce walked on stage just after 5 past. Couldn't have planned it any better!

If anyone is going on Tuesday, enjoy. You're in for one hell of a show.

We went on Sunday and heard this from a few people . The sound issues were (mostly) sorted by Sunday and the set list was better too. The encore section is amazing!!!

Damn should have went Sunday & not Friday so. And maybe being on the pitch rather than stand would have helped the sound

We heard the same from people who went to both nights and they said there was a noticeable difference between the nights.

Sunday was faultless. Could hear every instrument and mic clearly.

Also no wind on Sunday helped. Few we spoke to said it was pretty windy on Friday but we weren't there so can't say for sure.

Would seem that whatever issue happened on Friday was definitely rectified by Sunday anyway

We were there Friday night and didn't want to say anything, as we didn't want to spoil anyone's experience, but we thought Friday night was very very poor ,sound quality was poor ,he didn't engage with the audience and the play list was all his old jazz stuff until the last 5 or 6 songs,

No surrender, promised land and out in the street were in the first 8 songs on Friday, I was there Friday and tonight. Sound was far better tonight but that's the first time I've ever heard the word Jazz used for Bruce and I've seen him now 19 times

Moral of the story..should have went on Sunday not Friday lol. I've been to the horse show in the RDS plenty of times & never had sound issues at that, I was shocked how bad the sound was Friday unfortunately

Probably the first time in years one of my family wasn't at a Bruce concert in Ireland. My sister and father have nothing but praise for his concerts and considering he's the age he is it's incredible he can do that long

Last night's wardrobe malfunction was hilarious though. Definitely a senior moment.

Hey guys so i was there lastnight and wow just wow it was just incredible even though it pissed out of the heaven's around 45 minutes before he came on stage but the atmosphere was unreal as we got there around 4.30pm and we where lucky enough to get into the gold circle / pit right in front of the stage which again was incredible to get that close and for a 73 yr old man to rock the place for just over 3hrs was absolutely amazing. But sadly i think this will be the last time we might see the Boss in Dublin as I'm not sure about the rest of you guys but that last song ' I'll see you in my dreams ' honestly there wasn't a dry eye in the house and it felt very final but i feel very lucky to have seen him 5 times now and if this was his last Irish gig then wow i was really very special xx
